Exactly what I was looking for - a way to play IF games my friends and I had written on my phone. It renders the text just fine, and the keyboard works as well as any on-screen keyboard does. I haven't tried writing/compiling using this app yet. My only complaint- I can't get graphics to work on my Alan game like it does on my pc. But it may be something I'm doing. Or just a limitation. Great app. Thank you!!

I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or the app. I press on the compile button but nothing happens. I even tried making a .z5 file but still nothing. When I try to open the .z5, it says it's not a text file and I think that's the problem. Unltil then, two star.

As a longtime fan of Interactive Fiction, I've been waiting for an app like Fabularium. I recently installed it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T580 running Android Oreo. I've tested several IF story files in various supported formats and had no issues whatsoever. The app appears to be easy on battery life, responsive and straightforward to use. The user interface is spartan and simple with a help file if you need it to get started. It's fairly simple to customize Fabularium via a couple of .ini files in text format. I haven't yet explored the story writing features as I use Inform IF authoring software on a desktop currently, but it's on my to-do list. All in all I consider this an incredible contribution to lovers of IF and it opens up the opportunity to access literally hundreds of titles from the genre on mobile devices. Thanks and kudos to the creator of Fabularium and I hope he will continue to update and refine this wonderful app! If I could give it more than 5 stars I certainly would.

Excellent effort, grateful for this open source project. Necessary to read Help to understand UI. Editor won't autosave if you accidentally leave the activity. Won't compile .inf unless I first open Lib/Inform/parserm.h (memory issue?) I found longpress for "-" awkward; the system keyboard was far better but didn't scroll the content at first. A bar (1-row keyboard) just above the built-in keyboard would be better.

This is a pretty good app to play games, but, I got this app to make a IF game. This app idnt very user friendly at all.there should be a introduction for new users and help them learn the basics of the app instead of just throwing them in the app blind.this is a pretty good app and is well thought out. But, it lacks user friendly settings. You should have to go mess eith the root or whatever.it should just be a button you tap to change something. Dont give up quality for a smaller storage space

Two improvements would make this a 5 star app. The first is a major bug, the second is a minor inconvenience. First, everytime I switch to another app while coding (like to a browser to look up something), it discards any unsaved changes when I come back to an app. Second, there should be an empty template project for both TADS and Inform. Otherwise, great app!
