An issue that I hope can be addressed

When I make a custom generator and try to change the results it says no options are available and it’s really frustrating. Another issue is the fact I can change the names Phil and Bob at all. I really like the app so I hope this can be fixed!

Does not work

I I hit the generate backstory buttons and get a 401 error code. None of the buttons work. CHatGTP does a much better job.

It’s a really great app

I love it! A little expensive but that’s ok. One thing that I don’t like is the looooong answers for the backstory things but thats just me!
