Has to delete because it’s too expensive a hobby
Updated review!!! A couple months ago I wrote the review below, and I mentioned how there’s not much variety of hair color and eye colors for what I look like ( a white girl with hazel eyes and long dark curly hair) because they always make the white girl option some mid girl with blue eyes and only blonde straight textured hair. They did respond to my review so I don’t know if it truly was ME but as of recent stories my player customization is sooo much more inclusive. I am so happy and I now pay for the premium and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you Choices for hearing me. I still stand by what I said months ago, choices is hands down the best choice based mobile game out there. The stories, writing, graphics, literally every detail is so enjoyable. I love this game and idc that I’m an adult I’ll proudly play in public (jk only in private) Choices is hands down the BEST out of all the story games. I just recently deleted the app sadly because I was spending so much money on it. $15 a month! I wish there was a way that diamonds didn’t need to be used. My only other complaint is that I wish the customization of mine and my love interests character could be better. I want to look like myself which for whatever reason white brunettes are non existent. Also the men options are always a hit or miss. On the other hand the stories are so well done, creative, just perfect.

Response from developer
We appreciate your feedback. We tried to design Choices so that if you play through the whole game with zero premium choices, you're still able to have a fun and rewarding ending. We are working on more ways to earn extra Keys and Diamonds for future updates! -Rai
Enough with the r rated stories
Bring back the old story types with the mystery and fantasy and pure hearted feeling. These r rated stories are all the same, repetitive and boring and gross.
Nice game, if you’re up to disappointment
So, the game itself is good. Smooth graphics, good storylines, etc. Part of the game is obviously to make choices. Some of these choices cost diamonds. Diamonds are not easy to earn. One way of earning them, is watching ads (1 diamond for each ad) and this is easier than the tasks. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who does download, so I’ll creep around the storyline a bit. The story that the game started me off with was mildly addictive (I think this may be aided by my ADHD, a new game+interesting storyline=dopamine) and I was on the game as often as possible. I spent hours - yes, genuinely - watching ads for the best choices. I chose all of the best choices that would get me closest to my goal in the story. All of them. I must have spent at least 3 hours watching ads. After all that, at the end, I still didn’t get my goal. I understand that this is how the story ends and there is a part 2 for that reason. However, I was so disappointed that I immediately deleted the game. I think I cried too, but I don’t remember. To the developers, I suggest that there are more tasks to earn more diamonds or the amount of diamonds needed for choices decreases drastically to avoid wasting so much time. To the players, don’t make my mistake.

Open heart book 2 “hypochondria” complaint.
Firstly I’ll start by saying I really love this game. I’ve played it for around 5 years and spent so much money on it the books are great and now the diamond and keys are easier to get and book releases come more quickly.
BUT I am really really unhappy with how you portrayed the “hypochondria” story line. Just to inform you, “hypochondria” is an old, outdated and stigmatised name for HEALTH ANXIETY. As a sufferer of HEALTH ANXIETY, I was really shocked that you made the characters (doctors) take this serious and sometimes debilitating mental illness like it was a joke and someone over reacting after she ate the beets. There was no offer of support for the character who suffered from HEALTH ANXIETY. This condition affects hundred of thousands of people world wide many being treated as though they’re crazy “hypochondriacs” rather than suffering with a mental health condition called HEALTH ANXIETY. The treatment that should have been offered in this story line would be talking therapies CBT. You could have used this storyline to raise awareness of a rarely spoken about, due to stigma, mental health issue… instead, you made it seem as though the characters thought it was something to laugh at. Please get more information on medical conditions before adding them to your books. End mental health stigma!!!

It is 5 star worthy but there is something you could improve
I love choices! I was getting tired of the same old same old stories with episode and choices was a good entertainer!
One of my personal favorites are the Royal Romance and Queen B! BUT I digress with all the things Choices does right, there are a few things in which Choices can improve. The VIP membership: once I saw that they came out with a membership service I immediately subscribed. Especially when I saw they were giving away 185 diamonds on the spot. As a person who was struggling to afford diamond choices this was a welcome surprise! And it was worth it……for about a week. The thing is you get 10 daily diamonds but it’s hardly enough once you’ve run out, soon your just gonna have to pay 5 to 20$ just for a top up. (What’s the use of unlimited keys if I have no diamond currency?) it’s like being a regular player even though you signed up to be a VIP
Your already taking 15$ out of my account every month so don’t you think we should get something worthy of the price. Give VIP members unlimited diamonds as well it would be worth all the trouble and it would give people more incentive to buy your membership!
But besides that Choices it a wonderful app! When you want to overlook the never ending chase for gems

Best Storytelling app (More artistically stylized stories please!)
I really love choices, and it’s definitely the best storytelling app out there. I even don’t have too much issues getting diamonds, since they have daily rewards and you can just play stories you’re not as interested in to build up your stash, although it can still be annoying. I also really appreciate the variety in genres, namely the more action-adventure and fantasy stories with their own interesting mechanics. My favorite stories are the ones that go a step further with the art style, like Hero and Endless Summer. I find the more cartoony art styles to be so beautiful and refreshing, and I’d love to see more that! (I am begging 🙏) I find the added diversity in art elevates the ranged catalogue, and gives various stories more of a unique identity. It’s also great to see the stories become even more lgbtq+ accommodating, stories featuring trans characters, even letting you play as a non-binary character yourself in the newer stories. I do wish some of the models had more androgynous options, however (for example if I play as non-binary with a male body type I still have to look super masculine with broad shoulders and only short hair options). I remember downloading choices for the first time right at its start, when it only had 3 stories, and seeing it grow and develop has actually been super cool. I’m eager to see what new heights are reached.

Amazing
This app is truly amazing. A lot of the story’s are really good and have amazing plots, Lis, twists, and villains. Not to mention their customer service is absolutely amazing. They always reply back in a day or two and sometimes even quicker than that. Earning diamonds in this game is very easy unlike other story games. Even if you aren’t vip you still have the option to earn 3 diamonds after every chapter, there is a daily reward of 4 diamonds for non vip players and you get two extra diamonds for every 3 chapters you complete. You also get 15 diamonds after completing a book. Unlike other story apps I have played, choices gives you the opportunity to replay the chapter at the end of every chapter instead of having to restart the whole book. Another great thing about choices is the variety. They have books about drama, books about being a single mother, horror books, thriller books, romance, mystery books, comedy’s and much more!! Choices is also very inclusive and most stories you have the option to choose your gender. You can also choose to date either men or women. Some of choices newer books like blades of light and Shadows, the cursed heart, and foreign affairs even give you the choice to play as a non binary character. Truly, choices is an amazing app and I recommend it to anyone looking for a story game!

Too expensive
Hi. Love ur work. But I tend to make the most logical decisions I can, and a lot (actually almost all) cost a lot of diamonds. I can get them back by watching ads, which I don’t mind as I usually have a book at hand, but you can only watch a limited number of ads. I collected a lot of the rewards, but one of them is the sign in one. Problem is, whenever I try to, it says there is a problem reaching the server. And keys are also the problem. I tried to play a game using a key but it took my key and wouldn’t let me play! We don’t get enough keys. I don’t want to pay for them, but I want more than just two. All in all, I only have two requests: check out why I can’t sign in, give us more keys when we start and make the “Golden Choices” (aka the ones that cost diamonds) cost a little less. I’m not into that much romance, and I play a lot of adventure ones, but one of them that is actually a romance story that I am interested in, costs a lot of diamonds to go out with the guy. I don’t ask for a lot of things, but this is one of the few times I have asked for help. Thanks ⚜️

Good app but needs more books
I like choices and I don’t think it needs less diamond choices or there are not enough keys, you can just buy some, but I do think there aren’t enough books. I’ve read all of the books (except for anything 17+ like nanny affair, witness, surrender etc..) and I’m rereading bookseller the time because there aren’t any new ones. If you do make another one, please make open heart 4, open heart is one of my favourite series, and it could be you and your love interest, (I picked Ethan but that’s my personal choice) find out your pregnant and you are not ready to have a baby, and it’s either one baby or three babies, and you move in together and announce your dating, and there could be another plot twist with bloom like he doesn’t approve and tries to get you fired or something like that. I think that’s a really good story and I would read it, but that’s just me. I’m sure other people would really like that too though.

Fun but horribly flawed with bad developers
I’ve been playing this for a really long time it’s been fun for the most part. The thing I hated was the “premium choices”. Now the choices alone aren’t bad it’s just the fact that they’re really expensive and really hard to earn; flaw number 2. So you either have to wait a lot of days and earn by flipping through chapters in books you don’t really like or buying them, which isn’t fair. But I guess they have to make their money too. But not everyone can afford it. A couple years ago when I first started playing it was definitely out of the question. I’ve spent about 7 bucks on it so far. The third thing is the ads. They let you watch up to 3 a day (only one diamond each) and they don’t always reward you after. They said I didn’t watch it all the way through but I watched it much longer than I should have to. Now the last thing something I just recently noticed and honestly pray to god isn’t true. I think they’re making the books’ endings bad on purpose so you have to read the sequels. I just finished The Royal Romance, which I think is the first book they suggest to you when you download it, and the ending was trash. And it literally said play The Royal Romance 2 to fix it. That’s disgusting. I was only playing it to collect diamonds but not everyone playing it was and it’s not fair to them. I still like the game but too many flaws and the developers are extremely corrupt.
