### 3/5 — It’s been over a year and you still haven’t fixed any issues

*2023-02-05, version 1.22.0*

I love this app, but there are still so many glitches. 

I mentioned this over a year ago, but you haven’t fixed it, so I’m going to mention it again. Episode 10 in “Wizard School Dropout” cuts off midway and your stats don’t save, so you have to restart whenever you move on to the next episode, which is extremely annoying as you can’t get a “good” ending without the stats from previous episodes. 

I don’t know if it’s just an issue on my end, but since the issue was there over a year ago, I’m going to assume it’s not. Most of the other stories work just fine, but the amount of weird pausing and crashing I get ruins my experience and immersion sometimes, so I’d like a fix, and preferably soon. 

Also, I’ve contacted the developers by email and they didn’t fix the issue when I mentioned it and instead completely ignored me, so if you want me to support your app, I’d like a fix to the issues as well as better customer service.

### 2/5 — I can’t even play it!

*2022-12-27, version 1.22.0*

I have always wanted to play interactive movie games, and this one looked interesting, so I decided to download. I get in after 2 mins of loading, then I choose my story and I can’t get in till minutes later just to get a frozen picture and talking! Am very sad because it really want to play this game! Like a previous guy said, my phone is some years old but so are others!, please please improve!!!!

### 5/5 — It needs more episodes and seasons!

*2021-06-27, version 1.22.0*

This is a great app for me because I love the kind of games like fallout, outworlds, games that give you the power of decision and make your own story. It reminds of that one scene in Futurama when they all go to the movies and they audience are given the chose on their chairs to A) Have the main character do their taxes. or B) Have the main character join in the fight in a epic scene.

### 2/5 — Love Althea app but…

*2021-06-03, version 1.22.0*

I really enjoy this app at times and it’s one of a kind, my only issue is that customer service doesn’t answer back! I got one reply before but it was not helpful at all which was frustrating and makes the experience less enjoyable… I was having issues and was told it was because I had an old phone, well I got a new one and had the same problem and I tried to contact Eko but still haven’t gotten a reply…

### 5/5 — Crash Boom

*2021-03-05, version 1.22.0*

This app would have a five star review. With the amazing selection of episodes and interactions, it seemed limitless and amazing. Then it crashed. Then it crashed again. And then, for the cherry on top of the cake, it crashed again. If this is some sort of bug, please, please work on it, because I really wanted to enjoy this app.. 👋😬

### 3/5 — Confused

*2021-02-12, version 1.22.0*

When I downloaded this “game “ I thought it was interactive through a story but it turns out is a travel thingy? Although I can appreciate this ummm travel err ok basically I don’t know what to call it! There were only two choices I’m like really after about 90 mins your down all the cities now you can redo the whole thing using other option, which I should explain goes like this you wanna spend a lot or hardly nothing at all also the have you want breakfast or eat on run !!!
This app would be good if they spent more times .... instead of 3 min per city you have a hour and more options!!

### 1/5 — Great game, but.....

*2020-04-29, version 1.20.1*

I love your game and it is absolutely amazing and fun to play. The only thing I “dislike” about it is that it keeps on crashing. I don’t know if you can fix it but if you can that would be really appreciated. I love this app anyway so I’ll bear through it. I would appreciate it though if you could fix these crashes and errors or whatnot so it is a more enjoyable experience. Pls fix it cuz I want to give it five stars but I tried it before and it didn’t work and it’s the same issue now sooo.......

### 5/5 — EKO! Just download it!

*2020-03-14, version 1.19.0*

This is an awesome interactive story game. If you like video, the unknown, choosing an outcome, and being surprised all while on the edge of your seat....this game is for you. It beats all the other cartoonish story games. This masterpiece is for the adults in the room. You can learn a craft or something new, navigate, watch, listen to music, and much more. These developers got it right. Love the content. Please keep it coming. 😍😘😍😘

### 3/5 — This app is AMAZING!!! Just 2 side effects.

*2020-02-24, version 1.19.0*

I’ve had this app for a while now, and it’s INCREDIBLE!!!! And I love the fact that the developers added more content than ever, especially after the arrivals of Buzzfeed and FBE. I just have 2 problems with this app.

1. (MAJOR ISSUE; PLEASE READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING) There’s no parental rating system and most of the shows on Eko are not safe for kids (aside from the cooking shows and Make Or Break). I feel like that’s a MAJOR issue. Can there be a rating system that tells parents if kids can watch?? If so, that would be great.
2. Whenever I try to go to the main menu after an episode is over, the app usually crashes. Can there be an update to fix that please??

### 1/5 — Looks like a really fun app but it crashes

*2020-01-26, version 1.17.0*

Ok hear me out here, its just this game really does start crashing like no kidding, when i first got this app(which was right now) right when i entered and i meant RIGHT when i entered it crashed and i thought “hm maybe if i just keep trying to get in several times maybe it will work and i will be able to check out all of this cool looking stories but it just didn't budge so please find a way to fix it i would have really liked it if it didnt crash (but no offense though, am just stating my opinion here)
