Amazing app

This app is incredibly comforting and always puts me at ease. The stories are engaging, well-crafted, and offer a perfect escape. I’ve been using it for a while now and haven't experienced any issues—everything runs smoothly. It’s quickly become a favorite part of my routine without any issues.

Coin glitch

Hi, I bought two coin packs of 55 coins and the first purchase went through but the second was never added to my account. I have proof of purchase through the apple store. I would either like a refund or the coins to be restored to my account. Please let me know what can be done to fix this, thanks!

Love all but ONE thing

I absolutely love roleplay games like these. I can interact with/as my favorite characters, and get to pick what choices/decisions I want to make. I love those types of games! However, the coin system is a bit problematic for me. I don’t have any money, and when the only good choice costs 3x the amount of coins I have— it’s hard to get the outcome I want. I’m trying to save up coins but I’m only getting one per day. It doesn’t even work sometimes, I’m pretty sure glitches. I was supposed to get another coin one day, but the game never added it to my coins. Now I have to wait longer. I just wish for there to be a free option like watching adds, playing mini games, or trivia on past roleplays we’ve done — to get coins in the future. Or increase the amount of coins per day, whatever works.

good but id love for new features

I love the app, the stories are well made and i could use this app all day. But i’ve realized only certain people can create stories and I was looking forward to making my own but i cant.

What's up with the new time limit on the coins?

I know that this is a new app and the devs are still working out the kinks, but currently there are several things that are frustrating. The art is beautiful, and there are some awesome creators, but the app itself and its functions still feel too bare-bones. Also, a couple of days ago when I got the daily glow coin it started telling me that the coin would only be good for seven days, now making it impossible to save coins without paying and inherently putting part of the creators' work behind a paywall (did they consent to that?). So far I've been under the impression that eventually I'll be able to go back and replay my favorite stories and buy the fun choices that I can't afford right now once I've saved up a lot of coins, but all of a sudden that's impossible, and I don't see a good reason for it. It feels dishonest and manipulative, honestly.

Update: before the announcement that coins would no longer last more than seven days, they DID last. I saved up over a dozen and was able to buy an option at one point without spending a cent. My understanding based on the creators' advertisements was that this was the entire point - even if you can't take the exact path you want yet, with time you can go back and take the fun route when you've saved up. The ability to save no longer being possible is a new 'feature,' not something that was baked in from the start, and in fact goes against what I as a user was led to believe. Again: this decision inherently puts most of the storylines behind a paywall. Did the artists and writers consent to this, or did they believe, as their fans did, that everything would be accessible? If not, then they were dishonest when advertising Glow, and if they were, then Glow was dishonest with them, which is even worse since they're providing labor here.

Whatever the case, this is extremely disappointing and I will have a hard time recommending Glow to someone considering it.

Good but slight problem

I love this app! It’s a great way to reimagine comics in a new format. The only problem I have is that my daily check-in coins don’t go up. They’re daily check-in coins so they should go up each day I check in but normally they go down or not change at all. My coins stay around the 4-6 range when I’ve checked in to the app more times than that.

Thank you for the review! Each daily coin will only last for 7 days so make sure to use it before it's gone! We will fix the copy to reflect this. Appreciate the feedback and don't hesitate to give us more.

Great app!!

This game is so addictive. The stories the characters the interactive decisions!! I absolutely loved playing pick me! It was very fun and exciting to see Rebecca and Kassidy help eachother out in the newest story line!! Anyways, I would recommend getting this app if you like playing and choosing your own story line!!

WONDERFUL APP ! Just one thing..

This app is really wonderful, so underrated compared to other story games or platforms. I love it so much, unfortunately however. I am experiencing a few bugs, such as with the coins. Whenever I log and get a daily coin, It always stays the same amount. Along with the fact whenever I try to buy some coins, it isn’t working. Again wonderful game, really. But I just wish this could be fixed !

Fun and enjoyable!

I‘ve been playing this for awhile now and I really like it, I recommend it to people who enjoy story games a lot like me. I know the app is still being worked on, but it could use some upgrades. For example, there aren‘t a lot of things in the settings that I think would be nice to have to option for. I like to listen to music while playing but you can‘t turn off the in-game music so it overlaps and makes it less enjoyable. I also think most people prefer to have a dark mode in apps. Despite all that, I really do love it and the developers have done a good job so far! I hope it continues to grow in popularity.
