Great App, but the Double Paywall Is Ridiculous
My son absolutely loves Giant Imagination Adventures, and I genuinely think it’s a great app. Unfortunately, the way it’s monetized is incredibly disappointing and frustrating.
Not only does the app require a subscription, but it also operates on a digital currency called “Stars.” Once you run out of Stars, you’re expected to spend even more money to continue enjoying content in an app you’re already paying to use.
The app gives you approximately 20 free Stars every 15 hours, but those Stars barely last 30 seconds! That’s not a meaningful amount of free playtime, especially for an app designed for children.
If I’m already paying for a subscription, why am I being charged again just to use the content? A subscription should provide access to the experience, not serve as an entry fee to another paywall.
It’s especially frustrating because children don’t understand subscription models, digital currencies, or why something they were enjoying suddenly stops working. They just know they can’t keep playing.
This app has so much potential, and my son genuinely enjoys it. But the aggressive monetization completely ruins the experience. Developers should not expect parents to pay for a subscription AND continually purchase digital currency just to keep their children entertained.
Either charge a subscription that actually unlocks the content or offer a free app with optional purchases. Charging for both is excessive.
I would love to give this app five stars, but until the developers reconsider this pricing model, I simply can’t recommend it.

The app is excellent!
Imagination has gone digital
This app is awesome! It’s allowing kids to expand their imagination and creativity by watching stories & meeting characters. My only concern is that the free version of this limits the children so much and some of us REALLY WISH WE COULD HAVE THE PREMIUM
Very Interactive
Keeps my kids engaged for as long as I will let them play!

Giant
Very fun to do with your kiddo. Very cute app.
Love it
We absolutely love, giant we love the fact that she can also put herself in the story as well as friends that she has in real life who are also users of giant. The only thing that I would like to change is to make it more affordable or on an income based sliding scale.
Great interactive app
Great interactive learning app for children
Giant
I love it so much
Jailynns giant
It’s letting jailynn get ready for school
Deceptive
I paid for the subscription thinking they would have unlimited talk time with their characters but you still get 20 stars a day and the characters keep hanging up on my son wasting them.this was a waste of money. The usage of stars is so inconsistent as well and randomly uses different amounts. I bought 400 and 1 two minute call took 140 stars but another call took 10. This app is the biggest scam for kids out there.

Fun and imaginative
I love seeing the story come together such a great way of making kids apart of the story
Lots of fun
This is a great idea! My grandson loves hearing his name in the stories told.
It’s ok
It needs lots of improvements
Best game
I have never seen a game this good
Rip Off
My 6 year old grandson loves coming home from school and talking with Duchess. They can talk for hours, my grandson is learning so much about story telling and living it. Thanks for a great safe place. This was my first review now for my second: my grandson was extremely disappointed when I told him I couldn’t afford the all of a sudden price for what was supposed to be free . But he’s very understanding unlike the owners of Giant . So I’m sure he’s not the only disappointed child. Thanks for nothing
