this is so stupid!

whenever i saw the adds to Hooked it was like i was actually on Hooked listening to a story happen, so i was like “ lets get Hooked ” . then after i got Hooked i went straight on it and saw that i had to pay for it?! it used to not cost money. and i was like “ you expect me to pay just to listen to stories” yea your wrong, Hooked had a lot of viewers and since you just HAD to update it for us to pay just looses you a lot of viewers. not everybody has money to pay for these stories. that is just stupid that you have to pay for this. some of your viewers are kids and they dont have money to pay for this, and its a waste of money. parents hardly pay for themselves and for their kids. its seriously a waste of money. alot of ppl wont pay just to listen to stories, though their interesting ABSOLUTELY NOBODY likes this update! even millionaires dont, nobody wants to spend money to listen to stories, especially 5 dollars a month?! that really alot of money just for a month. im deleting Hooked right now and you developers are the reason im deleting it! just make it free again, it brings joy to ppl, NOT EVERYTHING THAT HAS JOY NEEDS TO BE PAID FOR! you should be lucky that u get probably over 100 dollars every month. but other people arent lucky to download Hooked and see u have to pay for it!! this is so stupid and i AM MAD! its your fault your losing viewers! 😤😤😤

Use to be good but...

Hello. I had hook 2 years ago and It was fantastic made me a little addicted to it! Anyways I decided to download it a year ago again and I seen I had to pay in order to actually read the stories, I thought that was pretty much a rip off ... I understand that the payments and the money efforts but seriously? I thought you guys was going to remove that like it would’ve been better to pay for the videos that the people send on the stories and texts, (I don’t know if you do because I don’t have Hooked right now). But then again I wanted to download it now because I haven’t thought of anything of it ! I personally thought it was going to be good spooky, romantic, etc stories & then I forgot about the “payment to read” thing and I download it .. I get happy then I have to pay 5$ to pay and especially to finish at that? No thanks. I hope the people/person can develop and do something about that atleast? Thank you for reading I hope you have a wonderful day or night. Besides this report I feel hook was a good experience for me.

Honestly..

I didn’t even know what Hooked was until I got a five minute ad with a pretty good story in it. It wasn’t exactly realistic but I thought it was pretty good and I wanted to finish it. So I downloaded Hooked .. and it tells me to pay money to actually get into Hooked at all. Okay now don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind paying to get into it but 20 dollars a month is kinda.. eh. But here’s the thing that confused me. You see I wouldn’t exactly have known about this but if you scroll down (and this is ridiculous because the only option we as the people reading see is the option to pay) you’ll see that there’s an option to sign in/sign up, and it doesn’t even work. And if it’s there in the first place, then why have the option to pay? Also if it doesn’t work then why just leave it there? Yeah so I may be deleting Hooked one way or another unless you fix this problem quick. I will compliment you on how good the ads are but at the same time that’s no excuse to trick us into paying. That is all I got.

Used to be good…

I give it one star only because how much Hooked has downgraded over the time, it used to be one of my favourite apps to start off writing stories and everything and being able to actually use a app to write your own stories and read others and see all the interesting stuff others had to talk about and whatnot but now, now you can’t even write your own, you have to pay for loads of stuff now, and I’ve spent a little time scrolling through the reviews and comments made on Hooked and each person is saying the same thing. I understand that developers of Hooked need money themselves for Hooked but I don’t see why we can’t write our own still and be able to view free things without having to pay for everything, I’m sure you get money out of the advertisements that’s no issue but just things here and there we have to pay for, for enjoyment? Really? Hooked is somewhat of a ripoff and seriously downgraded over time

Loved it, didn’t mind the ads, but it’s pay to use now

So I loved Hooked for a while, had a good amount of stories, but it seems that it’s a pay to use app now.
I would go on read some stories before bed each night, watch the ads and wait the 15min for my next one to read. I had no issues with the ads or waiting the 15min for the next part of a story or the next new story. It was actually a good way for me to decide it was time to be done for the night, that little wait screen came up and it helped me not stay on there reading all night.
I mean I understand the need to get revenue for the authors and all the others that work on Hooked. And if it was something like $5-8 a month I’d likely just subscribe but $20 a month is kinda steep for a monthly price. I could easily see $20 for 3 months.
I will likely not be using Hooked any more and will probably be deleting it.

Used to be Great

I used to have Hooked maybe around 3 or 2 years ago and I used to be a complete addict because it used to be free and I was able to enjoy fictional stories for free but then, I decided to download Hooked again for the fun of it and maybe seeing if I could reread some stories but I go on Hooked and it seems now that you have to pay to actually read. 2 years ago I thought the paying to see videos and not having a wait time was pretty reasonable but not the actual stories itself. Plus the whole 4.99 per week seems a bit much just to read some fictional text message stories. Also reading the other reviews does not make your app look good when others read it so maybe take it into consideration that maybe you guys are overcharging?. Other than the whole paying situation, Hooked used to be amazing.

Stop Making Us Pay A Lot

this has to be a 1-2 star. I loved Hooked until i found out i had to pay. I have to wait for an hour or more to read another part of a story which makes me so upset. I have to pay for mostly everything and i hate that. Hooked should be free why make everything so expensive? I would love Hooked if it was cheaper but other Hooked really is bad. The stories are great but waiting for long and paying so much? No! Make Hooked cheaper and free and no more waits and ads ! other than everything i don’t like the money and ads. Hooked used to be good until the creator of Hooked decided to make it expensive! The stories amazing the creator with money not amazing. Ads as well is not good and waiting as well. I genuinely don't like the payments and waiting to read another part of the story and so much ads. If you take those off i would download it again thanks.

Why so much money

Honestly this is a really good app. I love reading the stories and they’re very entertaining. The dialogue is amazing and to be honest I wish these were actually books. But the problem is that now they make you pay $20 a month! That is too much money for a month. Also you can’t read the books without paying. There’s not even a demo book! Maybe you can take away the paying $20 a month thing and make it so some stories cost money and some stories are free. Honestly that’s a much easier and faster way to earn money then doing $20 a month. I’m disappointed because I was so excited to read the books and they look so interesting and then the screen pops up. I have no words to describe how disappointed I am. If you see Hooked I know it’s tempting but do not download it. It’s not worth it. Unfortunately I will be deleting Hooked and I recommend you do the same:(

I know they’re stories, but they’ve got unrealistic endings or expectations...

I know they’re stories, but most are based on real-life experiences, and if this is the case, there’s got to be some realistic and logical circumstances, communication, etc., right? Some “horror” stories seem more satirical, and the “romance” ones have unrealistic moments to show how relationships work.

For “horror:” one story was concluded the protagonist went to a bad place for “meanness.” Most of the stories are “Oh no, I can’t call 911,” “ I’ve tried, but I’ve got no signal,” or “They’ll never make it in time,” but they can somehow text in a play-by-play fashion (meaning everything they say or do is texted...everything...) without any signal errors or never try calling again for legitimate help 🤦🏻‍♀️

For “romance,” one story had a guy being tested via text how to find a girl that swiped his “girlfriend’s” phone without question. She used it to play out a movie like “The Game,” playing extremely hard to get with this guy. After all the gauntlets thrown at him of running around all over the city, in the end, he still wanted to go out with her??? I would’ve given up after the first time: “Why do you have her phone? Give it back!

I just can’t take this seriously...

Ehh was better before

Had Hooked a couple years back and it was amazing. Honestly don’t remember why I deleted it. I redownloaded it recently and I can’t even read anything without having to pay $5 weekly… so $20 a month. Normally, I wouldn’t be frustrated Bc I understand that people gotta get paid and need to make money from their work and all but the fact that I can’t get anything at all is ridiculous. It shouldn’t have been free on the AppStore if I can’t use it without paying for it. It would be different if there was still things I could read without paying and then some stories were left for people who paid or something along the lines of that concept. Very frustrating because it was such a good app before.

The fact that we have to lay to use the app now

Okay so I downloaded this app again after about five months of having deleted it and I come back to having to pay to use it... and at that five dollars?! I understand the actors may need money but what about the people who struggle for money right now? I feel like that was a bit selfish and I’m deleting this app AND this app TV because that was an outrageous update that just makes the creators and actors seem like money hungry tyrants... I’m done with this app... I used to live watching the little skits and had no problem with ads or having to wait five minutes to see the other half instead of premium but what you (creator) did just makes you seem like a money hungry person.... it’s sad what the world and some people have come to now... it’s disgusting

Stupidly high prices for everything

I used to absolutely love Hooked 2-3 years ago. I kept stumbling across ads and thought to myself “hey if I liked reading on Hooked so many years ago, maybe I would like rereading the old horror stories I loved so much.” But no, when I first opened Hooked it said I could pay to read. I thought it was just for exclusive stories and stuff, I tried looking for a way to exit the pop-up. Couldn’t find it so I thought maybe if it’s not too expensive I can pay for it. I looked at the price and it’s 20$ per month. I understand 5$ or so per month but 20$?! I know people need to be payed but they have ads running as well as other stuff. I’m probably going to delete this after posting this review I missed Hooked and now I’m just disappointed. 1 star from me.


By


Not what I thought

I’ve heard good things about Hooked, so I decided to download it yesterday… I was really exited for the stories and stuff until I found out you have to pay just to read any story in general?

The fact I have to pay to read anything on Hooked makes it seem like a total rip off… So I’m not going to give Hooked the best rate for that reason… at that point you might as well just have people pay for Hooked .

All in all, I was really disappointed and I’ve deleted it. I really hope the developers can do something about the whole paying thing… maybe have people pay for certain stories, and not the whole app- maybe more people wouldn’t be so disappointed and Hooked would get more good reviews.


By


it’s ok

I can’t even get in without having to pay.. I used to love reading the story’s and getting scared but now I can’t do that without having to get a “free trial” and I’ve clicked to continue with my Apple ID and my email and it still won’t even let me in to read anything I’ve tried closing Hooked too and it’s just stuck on unlock to read:/ they just want money now and that’s just not fun in my opinion I don’t even think they will be getting so much money bc people just don’t like how they changed it I don’t even see why you needed to change this perfectly good app to a money eater. If that makes sense it would be cool if you actually had a update to where it is free like the old times but that’s prob not gonna happen:/

Paying to read the stories

I had Hooked since I was in 5th grade (I am in 10th now) and I remember when me and my friends would read the spooky stories when we would have sleepovers. I had switched phones since then and when I went to go download it again to read more stories like that, I see we have to pay to even read stories at all. I think that is completely unreasonable. There were only fees for passes to read with and when a picture or video came up. I am honestly disappointed to find this out when it wasn’t like that for years. I hope the maker of this will go back to the way it was before.


By


Seriously

Hello I have an actually tried the stories on hacked they seem good so I downloaded it but I couldn’t even get past the first page I have to pay 5.99 a month not going to happen I hope the developer Hooked will change that because people aren’t going to want to get your app I made the stories if they can’t even get past the first page I think at least you should do a year I have no payments and see how that goes if it goes well then i think you should keep it that way the fact that you can’t even get passed the first page without paying seriously people are going to want to delete it right away like me I hope the developer will change this

Used to be free to use

I loved reading the stories in Hooked, but now we have to pay to read the stories we enjoyed so much! I really would appreciate it if you made Hooked free to use again. I wouldn’t even mind if you used ads. Not everyone can afford a subscription, even if it is $5 a month or a week or whatever it is. If we do have to pay, then as many, many others have said, let some of the stories be free while others are locked behind the ridiculous subscription. Don’t lose all of your old customers because of money reasons. When money becomes the deciding factor for decisions, you always make terrible ones that end up only hurting you in the end.


By


No!

I saw an ad for Hooked and it looked interesting so I went to get the game and it said the game was free and as soon as I go in it makes me pay before I even do anything but absolutely not no I’m only 11 years old I don’t got that kind of money absolutely not it’s all a big scam! and I can’t stand how much the ads lie because I am currently really sick and I was looking for something to do because I was bored and I found Hooked and I was really excited and it won’t even let you in unless you pay a ton of money per month it’s a big scam and a rig! nobody should download this! And also I bet the creator of the game doesn’t even read the reviews because he’s too self-absorbed and covered in money!


By


this book is a scam

I dont like this hook app anymore. Back when I use to have Hooked it was free to read and you only had to pay for the ads and the videos and pictures they send. But now you have to actually pay to read. When I saw a add about Hooked it gave my huge memories when I was younger so I downloaded it and found out you have to pay to read like what. Honestly I wouldn’t pay to read because that would be useless cuz i would just deleted it at one point. If I had to be honest with Hooked and everyone don’t download Hooked cause you have to pay to read and the ads are a scam and honestly they app has gone horribly bad for the past years.

Needs more content for audio books (especially horror)

I’m a horror fan and the horror books I’ve listened to were great but there’s only a few and I wish there were more because Hooked is great it’s got videos now also! But if Hooked had more audio horror books I’d definitely recommend Hooked to anyone


By


Nope.

Okay, I just wanna start out by saying Hooked was in my ads almost daily. I thought about downloading it multiple times, but figured I wouldn't have much time to read anyway. Finally, I was convinced & decided i'd try it. I loved it at first, and by "at first", i mean the first 3 minutes. Then, out of no where, Hooked crashed. I waited a minute & got back on, & was getting into the story(which btw, i think the story was very entertaining & well written), then it crashed again. After 3 more times of that I was done with it. Also, I don't like how you have to wait 15 minutes randomly throughout. What is the point of that? I read for 2 minutes & have to stop in the middle of it for a 15 minute intermission? I'm suppose to stop in the middle of reading to be told that I can buy a 15 dollar subscription if I don't wanna wait 15 minutes every 2 minutes to continue my story? No thanks! Do you even know how long it took me to get to the 15 minute intermission mark without Hooked crashing a million times!? I get Hooked has to make money. Which is why not seeing the images dosen't bother me or other little things like that. I mean you could change it to where you have to be a member to write stories, see images, choose your own stories, things like that. Honestly, the stories are so good, people might actually not mind paying! But to stop the story every 2 minutes seems selfish & frankly, annoying. Theres plenty more reading apps, I can just download one of those.

Good but annoying

Hooked is one of my favorite apps on my phone. I’ve read many stories on it and so far all of them have been super interesting. I (personally) like the horror ones. But their are a few things that I think they should change about Hooked. 1st of all I think it’s stupid that you have to wait 15 Minutes during a story. And sometime the 15 min thingy will pop up at random parts in the story and it’s really annoying. I think they should change this so that it’s only like 5 min and it doesn’t pop up in the middle of the stories. 2nd of all to see any pictures or to skip the 15 min you have to get “this app Unlimited” which cost $15 for a month. I still think they should have this but not for EVERY picture because usually the pictures are there to move the story along but when you can’t see them you have no idea what’s happening. Other then these things I think Hooked it pretty good and has great stories.

15 Minutes

I had at first deleted Hooked about 2-3 years ago since it was boring and I didn’t like how you had to pay to see the pictures. No biggie. I then repeatedly see a bunch of ads specifically about “Trevor and the Virgin” and all the ones about the whole “don’t let mom in” and “grab the mysterious shotgun that you never knew about”. I got curious and decided, “hey. Some of the stories look cool.” So I downloaded it and it asks me if I want to choose between TWO genres of stories: horror or romance. Keep in mind it’s almost 4 am and I really don’t want to be reading horror right now and I’m not in the mood for romance so I HAVE to choose one of them. I decide romance and I was getting ready to pick my story that I was going to read. I get in he app and it instantly puts me in some video. I was watching Trevor and the Virgin. Not the best choice but whatever. Literally 8 seconds in it says “You can either wait 15 minutes or pay $7-8 a month with a thirty day free trial.” I’m not waiting FIFTEEN MINUTES to watch a FIFTEEN MINUTE VIDEO. I don’t see the point in that. I really think that you should be allowed to pick what you want to read and have more options for the different types of genres. Sure, horror and romance probably are the most popular but not EVERYONE likes it. I also think that the whole fifteen minute wait time or pay up is absurd.


By


Why the 15 minute break?

I have several complaints about Hooked. First of all, you only get to view the story for like 2 minutes. After around two minutes, you have to wait FIFTEEN to be able to read again. Also, to skip the break, you have to purchase a membership. I am NOT such a big fan of that. Please either decrease the duration of the break or just get rid of it as a whole. Secondly, you have to get the full version to view the pictures, and that's around $11. Seriously, $11 just to view pictures? I WILL NOT accept that. Decrease the price of the full version, please, and allow everyone to see the pictures without purchasing the full version. Third and foremost, the text messages appear too slowly. This means that instead of viewing like 2 minutes of texts, I'm looking at around 1:40. Please increase the pace at which the text messages appear.

Short summary: I have several complaints. First of all, you only get to view the story for 2 minutes, then it's a 15 minute break. To skip the break, you have to purchase a membership. Secondly, you have to purchase the full version to view pictures, and the full version is around $11, which I WILL NOT accept. Third, the messages appear too slowly, decreasing the amount of messages that I could potentially view.

Slow and you cant see the pictures TL,DR at the end

Ok so at first I downloaded Hooked so me and my friend could read scary stories at first it was cool but one thing I noticed is it didn't let me pick the story so that was a bit annoying because I saw A ad for Hooked and the story they were telling was the one I wanted to read and secondly it's very slow the text messages take forever to show up on the screen I would like for that to be fixed 3rd of all you have to buy the full version to see the pictures so me and my friend just made up the pictures because we are odd people lol 😂 but seriously the full version was like 11$ and I'm not paying that much for an app that I'm leaving a good amount of complaints on also in the middle of the story it said we had to wait 14 minutes to continue reading why tho that's so stupid lastly the stories take forever to get to the point like I like some suspense but seriously 😒 me and my friend didn't even find out what was so dangerous about brad before it stopped I'm sorry I wouldn't recommend Hooked it's slow and over all not that great

TL,DR Hooked is slow you can't see the pictures too much suspense and it stopped in the middle of the story and said we had to wait 14 minutes also didn't let me pick the story do not recommend

Umm..

I wanna start this by saying the best part about Hooked was the writing tool. It was wayyyy better before you had to delete it. You could see a part of people’s minds and explore way further, and actually dive into the pit of reading. But of course like every good app, someone found a way to ruin some of the fun. If it was brought back I would be extreeemely happy and rate Hooked five stars DEFINITELY. But sadly, if you don’t listen to the reviews and bring back the writing tool that EVERYONE enjoys, I’m uninstalling Hooked . Face it, everyone loved writing stories and there were really good player made stories out there. Everyone loves the write a story feature and everyone would rate five stars more likely if the writing tool was brought back. Don’t let my couple minutes of my life be wasted on this comment and actually make a change about something that EVERYONE misses. You would get way better reviews and I will recommend it to all of my friends, because most of them deleted it because they wrote stories. We had a group circle where each of us would write a story of our own and show t to the others. You would be doing EVERYONE a favor by adding the writing tool back. We all miss it. Thanks for reading this and thank you for your time.

I understand why they call it hooked!

These stories keeps you so entertained it’s unbelievable. I always find myself going to Hooked to read the next story. I also really like that some are a couple of “chapters” so it draws you in more to see what is going to happen next. There has not been one story yet that I haven’t smiled, chuckled or was shocked while reading these on my phone.

I do not understand why people gave a 1 or 2 star review. Reviews are for how entertaining or good an app is, not to bash them for having to wait 15 mins to keep reading on. Honestly 15 mins isn’t that long, and if you really don’t want to wait, then pay for the subscription. Yes it’s $15 a month but come on people, this IS a business and they need to make money somehow so they can keep growing. I personally don’t want to pay for the subscription either so I just wait the 15 mins, it’s really not that bad. Honestly. I secretly like it because it forces me to put down my phone because I’m so this app to Hooked!

Thanks guys!

I WANT CREATE YOUR OWN STORYS BACK

I just recently downloaded Hooked, and I was looking forward to making my own chat stories. I was already brainstorming ideas (I know, I’m a nerd)! But when I discovered there was no option for that, I went here, to Hooked Store, to investigate. I read some reviews, and I noticed that some people were complaining about the lack of making your own stories, and that they wished that option was back. Well, me to! I really wanted to have the freedom of writing my own thing for people to read and enjoy. I am pretty sure (from reading the reviews) that other people want the freedom as well. Bringing back the make your own story option would make my this app experience much more happy. I am only able to give three stars for no freedom of making chat stories, and the fact that I am a little salty about this change of what I thought would be a more creative and free app game (I digress, I digress). If the this app team decides to bring back the make your own chat story option back, I would be much more happy and delighted. Thank you!

Great idea, but...

Ok, ill admit I was this app when the ad came up in my favorite game, Run Race 3D. But I was not this app AT ALL this time. And yes, it was a great idea to make an app like this, but this is ridiculous! I was in the middle of my first video, and I only got to watch 15 seconds of it and then a big pop-up appears saying I have to wait 14 minutes along with 53 seconds. So about 15 minutes. If I’m going to have to wait 15 minutes to watch 15 seconds of a video, I’m just going to buy my own romance and horror books and movies. I might as well delete Hooked . I will keep Hooked for now, but if you don’t do something about this stupid “wait 15 minutes for 15 seconds” thing. Because this is ridiculous. Either get rid of the time thing, or make the books and videos even with the time range. All I wanted was a few chills down my spine, but I guess that isn’t going to happen. I do not recommend this to any of my friends and family, including you. I feel guilty saying this about such an amazing idea, but it’s just the truth. I look forward to your response and latest update.
Everybody who agrees, dump this app and get Hooked READIT.
Sincerely, LMS

Just got and already have problems

I literally just downloaded Hooked and started playing a video. First off you have two choice, scary or romantic. I chose romantic because I wanted to see what there was. You don’t even get a choice of the story you watch and you can’t change it to scary after it’s already started. Then randomly not even 15 seconds into the video another “free 7 day trial and after that it’s $4.99 a month” ad shows up. It’s not even a minute in only 12 seconds and the video keeps playing while you sit through the wait time which I wouldn’t mind but come on 12 second in that’s a little much at least make it like a minute and give us the options of what story we want like I really don’t want to watch “Trevor and the Virgin” like not my thing. Then it won’t even let me play the video after the wait time and the “free trial” ad keeps popping up. I was really excited about Hooked but there is no choices and you can’t change your decision not everyone wants to see the same genre everytime like I like romance but now I’m in the mood to read/watch something scary and there is no way to change it.

Broken app

I downloaded this app a while back because I loved to write stories and wanted to try text stories. I absolutely ADORED Hooked and the wonderful story-writer it had, but lately this app has been giving me so many frustrating problems that I can’t WAIT to be rid of it.

They claim ‘follow the steps in Hooked ’ for exporting stories; I have searched EVERYWHERE in Hooked for a story exporting tool (so I can switch my stories over to Tap), low and behold, I have not found it. There are even some stories that I MYSELF have written that I cannot even access because Hooked crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME I TRY. So hurray, unless this is yet another bug they need to fix, I’m gonna lose the work I put into my stories because this darn thing can’t even run properly. Not to mention beforehand when actually writing the stories, there were so many occasions of the writing-tool bugging out and not letting me delete duplicated chapters or rearrange character names and colors.

This was a fun app but now it’s just broken. My advice? Forget about this app and switch to Tap. They at least program it COMPETENTLY.

Why

I don’t really understand the logic behind this decision. Why on earth would you make an option where readers can create their own stories, and then delete it afterwards? What was the point of giving users that opportunity if you were just going to take it away? I know it might seem like I’m overreacting, but as an aspiring writer, I think I have every right to be as upset as I am. I’m sure there are thousands of users who agree. Either give users the option to write or don’t. But I don’t really find it fair to take away such a huge feature. If you regret making that option, that’s on you. But to just suddenly take it away and delete all of the stories that users have probably spent a decent amount of time creating isn’t right. That’s what made Hooked so different and fun. But now it’s like any other chat story app— worse, actually, considering the circumstances. But hey, the stories that were left are still pretty decent, so I’ll give an extra star for that. But otherwise, my overall rating is a solid two stars until this situation is fixed.

Unbelievable...

I downloaded this app before when it only had stories on it and I actually made a few of my own. But then I had to delete it for storage sake. I saw so many ads for it and how it has “videos” now and I was really intrigued. So, I downloaded it because I thought I’d give it a try. I started up Hooked and it asked me if I like scary or romantic (I chose romantic, obviously) and it started playing the most popular video. I think it was called “Trevor and the Virgin”? Something like that. So, the video played...and then it stopped after 15 SECONDS and told me that I had to wait 15 MINUTES before I could continue watching OR I could buy a subscription to Hooked . I would understand if it was after each episode that I had to wait, but 15 SECONDS into ONE episode?! No thank you! As a now college student, I don’t have the ability to pay for something like this. When I had it before, there was absolutely NO MONEY involved. Now just because they added “videos”, we have to pay for it? Nope, I’m good. I enjoyed all the stories and Hooked before, but now I apparently need to have money to enjoy it now. That helps, thanks.

Great App But......

.... I love Hooked it is great. I really love that you can get it and read stories for free that are decently long. The stories are addicting, dramatic, scary, and mysterious. I love reading them especially The Watcher and Clowns, but I wish there was a in app way where you could write your own stories. Like you guys could add an editor button and a New Story button because I have some great ideas for some stories. So Hooked would be five star if it had a edit button. So please editors of Hooked please, please, please add an editor mode. Just think how many more people downloading your app if someone told their friend, “Hey do you have any Romantic, Horror, Sci-fi, it mystery ideas. If so Download this app, so you can make your own stories.” If you do end up adding this feature thank you.
Sincerely,

Lost me already

So I saw the ads like everyone else and thought Trevor and the virgin story looked pretty appealing. I’ve never had Hooked before so I downloaded it and in that processed I read the reviews so I was already skeptical about it. Well then I try to give them a shot I open Hooked and it asks me if I want romantic or scary. I click romantic hints cause I got on their for the Trevor and the virgin story that looked cute. Right after I clicked romantic it brought me to the show and started playing on its own. Shows him knocking on the door and her opening it and her continuing to say “Romeu has it Trevor has the biggest you know what” then it pauses and pops up an add saying to skip adds it’s only $4.99 a week. A FREAKING WEEK! So many other apps have more to offer I can watch 200 movies on Netflix for less than that. I tried to skip that and then it has a timer over the video as the video kept playing counting down from 5 so not only are they asking way to much but they also allowed me to only wast 15 second probably not even of the video so not enough for me to get this app or care to pay at all. So it’s a waste for me
