Okay, it's time to complain. I bought the "Vampire: The Masquerade" game in full via this app. I had progressed quite far, though today, the app decided to reset MUCH of my progress back to the point where you have to login to save your second three missions. That was a survivable aggravation, though it meant I had to replay several missions. Again. When I first downloaded this app, it wouldn't register some games I'd purchased as having been purchased via either the site OR via Google Play Store, even with that game's app sitting on my phone. Tech support and I had to engage in a lovely bit of rigamarole to get the app to finally recognize that I had indeed bought what I said I'd bought. It happened AGAIN today. Once again, this app no longer recognizes that I've purchased "Choice of the Vampire", one of my favorites. (As you can tell, I'm a vampire fiend.) There are probably OTHER games the Choice of Games app has lost recognition for - AGAIN - that I haven't noticed yet, but CotV is a big one for me. Again: I have the actual CotV app SITTING ON MY PHONE, but the CoG app itself refuses to recognize that and restore the purchase, and frankly, even though I've only had to do it once, I'm tired of the very idea of having to play email tag with your tech staff to get it to work right, Choice of Games! For users: avoid this app like the plague that it is and stick to downloading each game's individual app. You'll be happier in the long run. For Choice of Games: get your app together, man. I respect what you tried to do with this, but when the execution makes me worry I've lost money, all I can call it is a "failure". I expected far better than this, especially from a company whose games have pleased me again and again.

I like this app but I always encounter issues. For example, none of my payments make it through. And sometimes there's an error which will prevent me from proceeding in a story, so I'll have to restart. I think these issues are minor but the stakes are high (given that achievements aren't saved to your account and you lose them in all your stories, along with the progress, if you uninstall the app). Otherwise, it's great, especially the books that you can read for free only here!

While not actually a game, I've spent a considerable amount of time reading on this app and apps using the ChoiceScript language. I've never found anything that can keep me hooked in terms of reading and this app makes it nearly a constant.

I can't deny what a space-saver it is to have all the CoG apps in one place but I SERIOUSLY wish you could organize your purchased library by series - or at least alphabetically - instead of having to scroll through everything to find what you're looking for. Cos when you've bought as many CoG stories I have, it's a real feat, lemme tell ya.

I bought this thru another app. Great story, but I feel a little underwhelmed. The ending felt really cut off. I would have liked more time, maybe being able to talk some of your people into joining, or swaying opinions so your friend can join you. Great story idea, just needs more. You could even write a saga with expanding on this idea, I'm sure.

A lot of free content, quite will written. But now and for the last weeks I'm really disappointed. The first story I bought is so buggy, it's unfinishable for me (crashes). Restarting from the beginning is the only option. Sadly, bug reports aren't answered. I lost interest. My first was my last.
