User reviews

Stories are great, but..

Stories are great, but I have very limited stories, I keep seeing ads for 100’s of stories, while I only have access to about 15 stories/podcasts. I tried contacting someone, but never received any type of response. I am looking to get a refund now, but I need my transaction number, like really?? I believed the app and I was really looking forward to all of the stories but not anymore 😩
