This app is still in its infancy from what I see and I think it’s doing a spectacular job at what it’s meant to do. I think the subscription cost is very fair and have no qualms paying the fee. There are a few additions I would love to see however, the main being more content, there is certainly quite a bit as is and I’m positive it will grow as the app grows but I feel as if it slightly lacks in quantity of content. I also would love a feature to search for stories by length, I do a lot of long drives and I ergo love long stories, switching between stories every 10-15 minutes can be a pain when I can’t find long ones so a “sort by” feature would be awesome, say “under 15m, 15-30m, 30m-1h, and 1h+” would be a fantastic addition. I need to use the app more but right off the bat those are some things I believe can be improved upon, once again however, the lack of quantity (not to be confused with quality) is something I feel will improve with age.

The app is buggy. The app will crash every time I make or receive a phone call forcing me to go scroll back through pages of stories to be able to find my place again. There is no option for turning “Ambiance” off completely, and sometimes the volume and ambiance functions do not respond on screen. The volume of the narrators is too low, and I have to have my cars audio cranked to hear clearly. This gets annoying especially when a notification comes through and blasts my ear drums out. When I want to open the app back up and pick up where I left off, guess what, gotta scroll alllll the way through to find the last story I was on. Love the idea, needs work.

Chilling is a fantastic horror app for anyone who likes to unwind with a scary story or two. They have a slice of everything horror related from classics such as Dracula and Frankenstein to true crime pieces to original stories and series programs. They even have horror inspired ambience tracks that can be played alongside the stories or completely by themselves to drift off with the sounds of a crackling fire or a dark, stormy night.

I only give them 4 stars here because they have some growing pains at the moment, which they no doubt can overcome. App wise, it seems to crash quite a bit on certain stories and the only way to fix it is to close the app and restart it. Design wise it’s a bit clunky, but I feel like they’re still finding their true vibe. Once they lean into their look and update the app style, this could easily become the horror lover’s version of Calm or Balance. Besides that, I would love to see some names within the horror community writing stories for them, which I’m sure they’re working on. The original series side of things is a direction I’d love to see them go for, and if they lean hard into new content, they could have a few hits on their hands.

Long story short, Chilling is a great horror story app with some room to grow. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re into the more scary tinged stories, and I can’t wait to see what they do next.
