*Ease of use*: No skip, back, text log, restart or audio features in stories. Using your phone's back button exits the app. The lives cause bugs. Trying to crop pfp in the app is a nightmare. *Purchases*: If you want to reread a scene you bought or make different choices withing that paid scene then you have to buy it again. Spending 20 dollars to see every variation of a short scene hardly seems worth it. The constant free heart notifications with no way to get free hearts is misleading.

I love the app and I love some of the stories. I just hate how expensive the hearts are. I understand the writers get a cut of that. It's not the paying I'm necessarily mad about, it's the fact that premium options don't stay unlocked. I would be more likely to spend more money if I could keep rereading stories to unlock more premium options.

It's alright for the most part, which is nice! Only thing I would like to really say about it is they should probably replace "Got It" with something like "Delete" in the notifications bar, since I accidentally deleted a promotional offer's code before I could screenshot it due to that misunderstanding. I thought it would mark it as read / dismiss it BUT still keep it in the menu like other apps I've used before - letting you delete messages with a different button instead of what it does now

I love the app and the creators on it, as well as the tools we are given to make our own stories. Stories, especially told through the format of a game, is a very niche concept through which most people without experience in coding don't get to use as a medium. Dorian changes that and for the better! 💕 I've very much enjoyed the time I've been spending on the app and creating here, as well as the community Discord. I look forward to seeing more from Dorian and the team this year! 💖

A lot of ease of use issues. Using the back button on my phone exits the app, which feels very unintuitive. The inability to hide stories I'm not interested in is also an issue. Purchasing a premium option with hearts only unlocks it for that readthrough, not permanently. ETA: I recognize there's a 'don't show this again' option, but when I use it, the app thanks me for reporting the story, and the story is back when I reopen the app.

The app is fine. I didn't have any problems and I understand that the content is user-created. An average rating for an average app. Areas for improvement: (1) navigation and homescreen are not intuitive. Right now the home page resembles Tiktok, but I think a Netflix-esque page would be better. (2) a proper filtering system (3) a back button in stories A sidenote to authors: $10 for ❤s means one ❤️= 12 cents. This means that one 10 ❤️ decision costs the same as 2 episodes on Webtoon 😬
