### 5/5 — Great app with lots of great story games

*2026-08-16, version 5.2.5*

.

### 5/5 — Books

*2026-08-15, version 5.2.5*

Need more books immediately

### 2/5 — “Sellout”

*2026-07-24, version 5.2.5*

Sure wish the app icon wasn’t woke.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-12, version 5.2.5*

Great interactive stories! :) the list of free stories are great and I love being able to try the paid stories before having to buy them

### 1/5 — Trash company

*2026-06-28, version 5.2.5*

Choice of games disgust on a level that I cannot express here. Hopefully they go bankrupt. I hope.

### 5/5 — Heroes of Myth

*2026-06-15, version 5.2.5*

So well written

### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2026-05-02, version 5.1.1*

I had this app a while back and I was obsessed with playing the interactive fictions on it!! I couldn’t pay for much but they had a good variety of free games to play so I didn’t really care. I came back recently to find that they offer way more games, but not a lot of free options at all. Most of the games range from $7 and up, and there’s like 10 games f2p, which was disappointing. I’m glad they’re moving on up though.

### 5/5 — Posthuman: Guardians vs PSION

*2026-04-24, version 5.1.1*

For any X-Men fan this game is a must play!

### 4/5 — Awesome, Now Just Fix Purchase Restoration, Maybe Add Progress Sync

*2026-04-24*

So pleased you added a button to download all games as I wished in my previous review. This app is certainly the way to play on iOS now, however something you've done in the remake has broken purchase restoration. If you already bought the game and it's in your account, it should just be restored; instead, it prompts for Apple account password, fails the restoration, fails to notice it's already signed in, demands you sign in, and finally restores your purchase. I do hope this isn't a deliberate choice because I do value being able to play in a web browser on desktop as well. Please fix.

### 4/5 — In app purchases

*2026-04-05, version 5.1.0*

I have played this game for over a year now and loved it. However, recently any in app purchase I made, like cheats, does not work. Again, the app is still very fun, but I like to be able to use the abilities that I buy!
