It was cute. There were times the pictures wouldn’t generate which was a bummer. I also wished I could’ve had the option to continue the story because some would end abruptly. But I understand this app uses AI, so I only used it for fun bonding with my daughter. I see it’s now shutting down. Good luck to the developers. ### 3/5 — Not enough more stuff *2025-04-04, version 1.0.4944* Not enough edits to edit stories and it should have more stories categories and more of stories arts and I haven’t reseed my diamonds ### 3/5 — Stories getting cut off hallway *2025-04-04* We’ve loved this app as a family. But recently it’s been doing this funny thing where a story will abruptly end in seemingly the middle. The way we’ve gotten around this is to choose “read with another character” but choose the same characters as the first time. It creates a slightly different story, but similar enough that my kids don’t seem to mind, and the second time it goes all the way to the end. This wasn’t that big of a deal until recently when they started charging per story, now it’s really frustrating that I have to spend my gems on a story that got cut off in the middle. ### 4/5 — Need to make gems free for people who don’t want to pay with money *2025-04-02* Dear game developers that is wonderful i came across your game on instagram so thought I try it out started out fun get make your own creator and story but then after that you have to pay to to create a story with real money not everyone wants to use real money for games you need a have a choice for others who don’t want to use real money. Without the gems you can’t do anything with this game you need to fix I hope you read this I don’t normally write review but for this game I am because it really fun and good game please read my review it be nice if you did. ### 4/5 — PLEASE UPDATE FOR MORE GEMS OR NO GEMS *2025-03-30* I love avenue, my favorite app. But there is a very bad thing they did to my nine year old brain. Every story has a happy ending. Reading level middle school and still, “and Clara and Haley became friends.” When I said “the best of enemies” or “they discovered that the quest wasn’t about the gem, but about (stupid) friendship.” Bruh, like, also, I do NOT want to have to pay. Like give us free stuff! Also, I really need some no life lesson books. Like, cut life lessons off at level FIRST GRADE. not waiting until MIDDLE SCHOOL! I am a very mature person, and I am boooooored of happy endings. Also PLEASE ADD REALISTIC FICTION! and also add the character voices back. I hate Siri’s voice in all of the quotes. ### 3/5 — Great story creator *2025-03-28, version 1.0.4944* I love how it generates stories out of a few prompts, but I wish you can export the stories that have been created. ### 2/5 — Love it but…. *2025-03-28, version 1.0.4944* I love it and the stories it makes, however three days ago my credits vanished. On top of that, my daily bonus also stopped. I sent an email about it, if it’s fixed my review will change. ### 4/5 — Fun with a flaw *2025-03-27, version 1.0.4944* I like being able to create any character and storyline I want but I’m not happy about not being able to edit the characters after making them or editing the story after creating it ### 3/5 — Good App but needs work after update. *2025-03-27, version 1.0.4944* Good app but the recent update took away choice and now the stories seem to end abruptly before a good ending. ### 3/5 — After updating things went downhill *2025-03-26* I love the app. My child loves to see herself within the stories, but the reason I’m giving it a three star and this is more recent purposes is for the fact that after the recent update, the app started having issues with the stories with them, not either completing sentence within the story and just cutting them off or the story not being a complete story and with it just coming to an abrupt ending, I find it annoying because before this update the app was amazing and my child enjoyed every single story. I can’t say that now. ### 3/5 — The length of the …. *2025-03-26, version 1.0.4944* Story get cut halfway through the mid point, the first couple of stories that I’ve made had no issues, but recently they don’t even finish, I’m. It sure what is going on?? Will there be a fix for this ?? Also I’d give it a 5 stars because my son loves this app but the story stopping halfway is just not fun for my son ### 3/5 — A Good Start *2025-03-23* I really like the development of the characters. The only thing that I have a gripe about is that sometimes the stories cut off before the actual ending takes place as if recently. It just brings me back to the library. I don’t if it’s because the stories have to be a certain length or is the app based on short stories instead of long stories. But I still think it’s pretty good. ### 3/5 — There’s No “Delete” Or “Edit A Character” Option? *2025-03-19, version 1.0.4944* Why can’t i delete stories i made or why can’t i find archived stories? ### 4/5 — A glitch in the animation *2025-03-13* I’ve lost over 1000 points or whatever trying to get the story to stop being black ! Only once it worked and the character I set wasn’t even registering the narration had to speak for the character ruining the story entirely. I’m a little upset at the lose in coins over this as it’s not the first story it’s done it to ### 2/5 — Fun but bummed *2025-03-06, version 1.0.4808* It’s really fun creating but you can’t save your work or watch it outside the app.. so you can’t save use it or sent it so anyone… ### 4/5 — I enjoy the app, just wish the stories were a bit longer and more interactive. *2025-03-05, version 1.0.4808* I think this app is super cool and I love the stories and character creating. But I feel like it’d be even more cool with longer stories and more interaction. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great idea, unstable app that doesn’t work *2025-04-30, version 1.0.4944* I bought this app because a friend recommended it. Paid for creating the characters etc. My kids were very excited because our dog had just died and we made a bunch of stories with them. Except that it doesn’t work. The narration never works. 10 times out of 10 it doesn’t start and then suddenly says it all at once. You start again and no luck. Repeat. And now, the pictures don’t load either. You see the text and then the pictures don’t load. And often the app is also not responsive. It’s an utter waste of time and money. If I could give this app a 0 rating I would. ### 1/5 — The update made it way less kid friendly😭 *2025-03-21, version 1.0.4944* Before the update the Horror genre wasn’t that bad but now it’s horrific for these kids, the 4+ recommendation should be changed to 12+ just to not give my 6 year old night mates, used to love this app but Devs if you wanna keep this app going I’d suggest reverting it back. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-03-09, version 1.0.4808* Some didn't even worked I used many diamonds the worst app ever ### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone 14 *2025-03-05, version 1.0.4808* I have installed this app on my iPhone 14 iOS 18.3.1. The blue opening screen with avenue in the middle is displayed and nothing happens. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2025-02-14, version 1.0.4808* I don’t even like the app because it took me up I was so excited to use it, but guess what it didn’t even work. like all I try to do was play this fun game that was really excited to do but I didn’t even work like I only give it a one star because of that. ### 1/5 — Isn’t generating simple character *2025-02-03, version 1.0.4733* Very frustrating! Every attempt to create a character just says “error creating an image please try again” beware this might be a SCAM ### 1/5 — Won’t open anymore *2025-02-02, version 1.0.4733* Worked great the first time I used it. Now it won’t open at all. ### 1/5 — Lack of editing and other problems *2025-01-16* Really like the premise of this app as my kids are the perfect age and really into telling stories using their imaginations. This app lets us create characters but if we want to change anything, we have to repeat the process all over again - The lack of editing is a real disappointment and you cannot even delete ‘unwanted’ characters without deleting your account. Which brings me to my next gripe - I cannot delete my account. I’ve followed the instructions and navigated to ‘More’ in settings but when I try to delete and accept that all my info will also be deleted, it does nothing. **Developer response:** Hi! Please send us an email at support@avenuestories.co and we can show you how you can delete characters on your profile. We are also working on some editing features, stay tuned! ### 1/5 — App Not working *2024-12-12, version 1.0.4273* I have downloaded the app on my iPhone 15Pro. Unfortunately, the app is not working on it. The app is frozen on the first AVENUE title screen ### 1/5 — Full of Errors *2024-12-10, version 1.0.4273* Made with AI and full of errors. All the pictures are different from each other and dont make sense. My kid got scared because they look wrong. We as adults dont realize but they spot all the small details. It is not a skill to take all the things from AI and tug in an app anymore. Boring and teaches nothing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-04-29, version 1.0.4944* I been Playing this App a long time Know I need lots of Gems on mine accounts ### 5/5 — Absolutely love minus the gems *2025-04-11* I’ve been using this app so much for months!! I love it!! It’s my favorite app I’ve ever downloaded! I have spent hours creating stories, characters, and it’s so much fun!! I only wish it didn’t just switch to having to use gems to create characters and stories, I always loved that better than most of the stories already on the app. Now you have to buy to create and you only get gems from I think being on the app? but this makes me want to be on it less ### 5/5 — I love this app *2025-03-30, version 1.0.4944* I need lots of Gems and More gems ### 5/5 — Avenue *2025-03-28, version 1.0.4944* 5 stars ### 5/5 — Amazing just a few suggestions *2025-03-21* I love making stories I just wish the stories were longer because everything that I put in the stories description doesn’t make it into the story and also I would love if we were able to save the pictures that the AI comes up with ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-03-17, version 1.0.4944* This helps kids to teach social stories. Something very useful to parents with children who need help understanding social cues. ### 5/5 — Very good but the audio doesn’t seem to work that much. *2025-03-14* I love using this game. I just wanna add a little bit more gems without having a face, but that’s my other complaint. Sometimes the narration doesn’t work so if you could fix that, I would happily appreciate it so I can still make stories with my OCS -from kit ### 5/5 — Fun *2025-03-05, version 1.0.4808* It’s so much fun and free to do. Earn gems by logging in. So fun & easy to use. ### 5/5 — Awesome App is a understatement *2025-03-05* My kids Simply loved this App and look forward to every night as create and then read one story a night before going to bed. The only issue I have which isn’t a negative but rather a wish to be able to export these stories or share share on other social media platforms with friends and family Keep up the great work. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Immersive app does bug *2025-03-05, version 1.0.4808* I do like it I’m a huge fan of the app so far . But the issue is it does crash a lot and sometimes it doesn’t load the narration. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
