Stop with the AI
I used to be a really big fan of the games and the stories but now with the artwork and stories really leaning into AI, it’s super disappointing to see how much they’ve lost their authenticity and charm. Once I actually realized how much AI was being used I went ahead and cancelled my VIP. I understand that there are budgetary constraints but making each story soulless is not the way to handle it.
What makes it worse is they have the option to just reuse old artwork and character designs, but they continue to spit out AI slop. They’re fully aware their fanbase hates it and they could not care less. Spend your time and money with a better game.

Lost the plot
Choices used to be amazing but is now pure garbage. I have been playing for years now and it has declined dramatically. Every book is AI generated slop and/or hyper sexualized. Not everything you read needs to be smut. If you’re going to write smut, make sure it’s good. All of the new books that are coming out are short and poorly written. I do not think the creators of this app or is staff care about quality. The stories used to be so entertaining and original. For the past two years, they have released new books that are just the same plot as their old books. The creativity and care has disappeared. It’s truly a pity.

Lost value
I was a follower of this app’s development from the very first stories and I can say I’ve see the quality improv and fall over time. This year I got back into playing regularly and noted the quality had changed again. Holes in the story or just a slop ending. The membership is no longer worth it. RIP to choices

Why Ai ?
I LOVED this game years ago. The art, the music, the gameplay, the EXCELLENT writing, all of it! I absolutely adored this game, for its originality and great stories. I have just recently re-downloaded the app, and I am VERY dissatisfied and disappointed with this game. Why do you guys use Ai? Why? So you can turn out new books without putting in the hard work and putting in precious time and effort? The best thing about these types of games are the creative singularity of each story and every character. Now you have abandoned that all for the sake of more money and wasteful means. Dishonorable. The new stories coming out are horrible. No fun, no uniqueness, no good story. It’s obvious when people use Ai and no good thing has ever come from it. I can’t believe you would put down humanity to create slop like this. It doesn’t matter if you are using Ai for one thing or all of it. It. All. Matters. Do the research, Ai is DESTROYING humanity and the earth as we speak. Data centers, wasting electricity and watts, contaminating the oceans and landfills. As long as this continues, may you not receive genuine support from humans or rest in the true beauty of art. Please change and go back to using real people to create real stories. Please.

Every option cost 20 diamonds
You guys will charge 20 diamonds for the most unnecessary basic materials

i really enjoy the new character styles in more recent stories like idol & love and layups. i hope you guys continue to use these styles in future. the options available in the blood bound stories are also nice looking.
i would love a new story about being on a reality tv dating show like love island, or at the very least a remaster of america's most eligible. i've always wanted to play those stories but i can't handle how the characters look. i'm not a big fan of the specific set of character faces available in that story and sadly those are the faces available in most of the older stories so i have a hard time playing them. it would be nice to have more remasters of older stories how you guys did TCATF, which is an amazing story by the way.
another thing, please change the app icon to something that isn't a couple kissing or whatever. my mom and nieces saw this on my phone and they're like ermmm what's that. i'm 22 but i still feel weird about it lol. or if we could have some different options in game to switch it to like how instagram allows you to pick from a few different color gradients for your app icon.
yeah, i like this game i just wish some of the character options in older stories were updated or something.

Great App!
I have been a fan of choices since I was a teenager, back then unfortunately I couldn’t buy any premium options so I had to make do with the free options but the app has always had great stories. Especially the one I’m in now, Scream For Me, I just had to write a review after reading this book because I just went on the app and saw there was a part 2!! Too excited!! I’m literally about to get the VIP just to read on! This is only one favorite though. My only issue was that in this book when you go to choose your character and look the hairstyle on the cover isn’t one of the options, I was disappointed but I chose another that I came to love! But really, been reading for years and still amazing, now I spend too much money on diamonds to binge read! But it’s worth it!! Please keep up the good work Choices team!

Loving it
So glad we got more horror stories loving terror great even tho I fell for the killer 😭 but I love to see the branching back out into different genres that have more substance and life can’t wait for more! Tho I do wish they had an ai free section since I don’t really enjoy those ones at all.
Story ideas
Love this app can you add stories about having a family and raising children I love stories with little kids in them this would be so cool please consider
Used to be a fan
I discovered this app all the way back when it was barely a handful of stories and just launched. I’ve redownloaded it three or four times and over those accounts spent upwards of $200.
The heart and charm the stories used to have is dead. The shift to AI is *so* disappointing for an app that used to highlight their staff and I kept hoping they’d realize that and go back to real artists. The AI covers are poorly done, every story feels like a cut and paste prompt from a fanfiction, and even the character sprites have lost their charm.
You had such a good thing going, and you destroyed it for the sake of profit.
I really miss the Choices of old. So damn tired of companies cheapening their product with AI, while charging premium prices and expecting their customers and fans to stay loyal.
Do better, Pixelberry. Yikes.

Great
I’ve had this app for years, I can easily say it’s one of my favourites.
While yes paying for certain scenes and outfits can be quite costly. It doesn’t really have much impact. The only thing I wish would stay is the outfits you pay in the stories. I would love to be able to use them in other story’s.
I highly recommend this app to any readers out there.

Downgrade
Been playing for years. Loved the stories. Freshman series. Queen B. The crown and the flame. Very good books. Now the new book quality has been getting worse. What used to be max 16 chapters a book is now 6 chapters. I dislike how small the chapters are. How expensive the choices are. And lack of characters?? What happened to multiple Love Interests?? I think it’s not long before I cancel my membership

Choices ! Sneaky way to avoid paying out rewards!!
I love this App and the stories are great however I’ve noticed something sneaky lately with some of their new books and the rewards for finishing a book for the first time. Apparently you can’t collect the 15 diamond reward if you didn’t read 15 or 16 chapters to finish the book.. even though the reward doesn’t say that.. it’s true.
I read a book called Promise of Forever.. it has 2 books and the second one is a continuation of the first that ended on a cliff hanger. Both books are 4 chapters each and the second one wraps up the story. No reward comes for finishing these books. I find it sneaky that they did this as it appears they are trying to keep us from getting rewards from new books. If that’s the case then they need to change the reward description or give us the reward for finishing a book for the first time as the reward states.

AI Slop
Very disappointed in the direction this app is going. I used to spend so much time and money on this app because it had better storylines and art styles than its competitors. I fell in love with the og stories like the Freshman and I would go back and replay them over and over again. I admit I felt like the quality of the writing has been steadily going down for the past couple of years as they focused more and more on romance-centered stories and less on other genres. I didn’t even hold it against them. I’m sure that’s where the money was. But I recently logged in to check for updates on series and was excited to see that the It Follows series had a new sequel. I enjoyed the first two immensely. Only to be redirected to another website where the story comprised completely of AI generated content. I am disgusted by the lack of creativity. I am deleting the app after being a long time customer for years. It’s truly the end of an era.

Disappointed
Choices has faced a rapid decline after beginning the use of Ai, we can see it in the horrible face models, awful character lines, and blurry backgrounds. I would once come back to this app every two hours to use my next key, now i find myself deleted the app as soon as I install it, always hoping it’s gotten better. You’d think after introducing VIP there’d be an incentive and profit for producing better material yet everything pre VIP is far superior to the slop that is made now. To anyone wanting to buy VIP, save your money don’t pay for negligence, sincerely someone that’s read more than 1000 chapters.

A Heartbreak
I have been playing this game since I started college in 2017, and the past few years the app has become butchered. So many stories on here have really meant a lot to me, thats the only reason the app is still on my phone, to revisit what used to be but its hard to see what its become. Almost every story has these ai avatars that turn into a new person every time they change expression in this horrific to watch morphing. I used to admite the backgrounds for several minutes when theres a new one or I see an old favorite, but now I regularly cringe at the slop they put behind the text now. I loved the Crimes Of Passion series but I havent finished the latest release because a lot of it is unpleasent to look at. My favorite was the It Lives Anthology for the art, the details, the clear heart that went into it and when I saw the new ai video story for it I havent been able yo really open or look at the app for months. Like putting aside any moral qualms about ai, its terrible quality. No more new art, these bizarre shiny animations, the awkward flat soulless voice. It was heartbreaking to see one of my favorite stories, one that has had such a deep impact on my own creative indeavors be turned into this terrible stilted lifeless slop. Honestly its been one hell of a decade but I think its time I put my love for this game aside since there is no sign of it ever getting better again.

Downfall
It’s really unfortunate that this app has gone down hill. Starting stories then completely trashing the project because of layoffs is ridiculous. Using AI instead of original creators that built up your app is disappointing. As I’ve gone through recent reviews I have seen the same things. Decline in quality, increase in quantity, and decline in acknowledgement to the issues with their app. The copy and paste responses to negative reviews is also how you lose participants. We are looking for progress and to see that our concerns are being heard. This is just like the downfall of Lovestruck.

Don’t waste your time and money on the new stories…
VIP member for years. Used to love this app, and waited for new chapters to drop like clockwork.
Now the writing and artwork are AI generated and the stories are ridiculously expensive. Instead of your choices mattering, and influencing the outcome of your story behind the scenes, you get two choices now: right or wrong. You pay to make the correct choice, or you don’t and your story is impacted.
There’s no depth or quality to the stories anymore. You instead spend, easily, 200 -300 diamonds - assuming you want all the correct dialogue choices, special outfits and scenes - within the first 6 chapters.
Oh, and after that, they’ll probably end the book mid-story.
That’s right. No development. No climax. No conclusion. No romantic payoff. Not even an effort to quickly wrap everything up in the last chapter.
You’ll literally be in the middle of your story and suddenly you get a generic message at the end of the chapter and you’re prompted to end the book with no warning. So, you spend all those diamonds, time, and money, and they don’t even give you any sort of payoff.
Even if they do decide to end the story…the quality isn’t much better. Everything is generic, bland, soulless. They rely heavily on overpriced outfits and overwhelming amounts of 18+ content that isn’t even that good.
Seriously, you’re better off reading a Wattpad fanfiction about a cyborg vampire love triangle.
For all the money they’re expecting you to spend, you’ll get more bang for your buck playing Baldur’s Gate 3, getting a Kindle subscription, or investing in a really good book at B&N. At least the stories have endings and you don’t have to pay to turn the page.

Unplayable
I played for 9 years and loved the earlier stories. I hung in there when books got shorter and plot lines got messier, but it’s past the point I can tolerate. Even the supposedly traditional newer books reek of AI slop with plot holes and repetitive dialogue. I wish this were still a human-driven company bursting with dedicated and creative staff, but the layoffs and money grab have made it a shell of its former glory. Cancelled my VIP and no longer play.
