Also make a this story and btw it’s a classic I will tell u. It’s called the red coat killer. So one day a babysitter babysitting 3 kids two girls and one baby boy. They were watching the news and something popped up. It said “KILLER ON THE LOSE. LOCK ALL DOORS AND WINDOWS. THE KILLER HAS RED HAIR AND RED CLOAK. PLEASE FOLLOW THE SAFETY RULES AND STAY SAFE.”the babysitter put the kids to bed cause she didn’t want them to get scared. After that her phone rang it said “I’m a country away”. Again it said”I’m a state away” now she was getting scared she heard it again I’m a city away” AGAIN “IM A TOWN AWAY”. “IM A NEIGHBORHOOD AWAY” IM A HOUSE AWAY” IM A STEP AWAY”…I’m here. The babysitter rushed into the closet and called the cops. Then she heard “look down” then she did it. “Look to your left” she did it “look to your right” She did it. And finally “look up” She looked and there was a woman with red hair and a red cloak. She slaughtered them all brutally. Btw ty for reading this <3 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-02-24, version 22.10.25* This is a phenomenal app, if you like horror and spooky stuff this is THE app for you. I’ve downloaded and subsequently deleted more of these types of apps than I can remember. This one is a keeper! ### 4/5 — Bug fixes update *2023-01-20, version 22.10.25* It’s the most amazing story app ever+ it’s awesomely offline and there are alotttt of stories and categories I adore this app but the only issue is that the “speak” option for Siri is a bit laggy sometimes siri skips a hole paragraph. ### 4/5 — Scary stories *2022-08-14, version 22.02.14* The stories aren’t scary to me but the are exciting and I wonder what’s going to happen next. ### 5/5 — Some fun collection! *2022-07-18, version 22.02.14* This is where the good stories are. ### 5/5 — One of the best *2022-03-04* I’ve been using this app for about a year or two and it is awesome but the only problem is I’ve read every story but if new stories were added every few months its the best of the best ### 5/5 — LOVE IT *2021-12-24, version 21.06.23* This app is so much fun I love reading all about the spooky and scary thing this app is what I have been needing ### 5/5 — I love it. *2021-12-11, version 21.06.23* I’ve only read two stories so far, but I’m now addicted. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-12-11, version 21.06.23* BEST APP EVER FOR READING HORROR STORIESSSS!!! ### 5/5 — Scary stories? Yyeesss!!!!!🤩 *2021-12-11* This app is real amazing the stories are great. I am a real big horror lover so when I came across this app i said why not? And I ended up liking it a lot. I can’t waste any time not at least reading a story every day. When I’m bored that’s the first app I go to. Who ever you are downloaded this now!!!!! ### 4/5 — Enjoyable reading *2021-11-10, version 21.06.23* Definitely good stories and not too long. There are some that claim to be true stories. I’ve only read some of the true scary stories and they are good reads but definitely not believable. Like horror in the woods a father driving with his son in car at night and supposedly something knows on the window but the father tells son not to look and speeds up. So the son doesn’t look and they never talk about what it was or what happened. No if that really happened you would look or at least ask what it was. The lost dog story also not believable. Supposedly a stray dog won’t eat but on Halloween gets loose and eats kids in a forest and supposedly goes to the kid who found it and looks at them and walks back to the forest. Just not going to happen in real life. ### 3/5 — stories aren’t scary enough!! *2021-10-29, version 21.06.23* This app is great and all but the story’s just aren’t scary enough for me to be paranoid all night ### 4/5 — Can u make me a account *2021-10-25* So I want to make scary stories because everyone in horror stories has there own account 。😋 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Please bring back the old app *2026-05-01, version 26.04.26* I do not like the idea of these interactive survival choices, in fact, you even changed the To Tell In The Dark stories into something else, do not recommend this app EVER, or if youre twisted and is hated by everyone, have this app, but if youre twisted normal, NEVER HAVE THIS APP!!! ### 1/5 — EXTREMELY INAPPROPRIATE! *2024-12-21, version 24.04.05* THIS APP IS UNSAFE FOR YOUR CHILD AND ANYBODY! THE MOST VIOLENT AND DISTURBING WAS SQUIDWARD! PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD! I AM A PODCASTER WITH A SCARY STORY PODCAST AND MY STORIES AREN’T AS GORY AS THIS! IT IS MY MISSION TO STOP PEOPLE FROM LISTENING TO THIS! NOTE: THIS IS A WARNING ### 1/5 — Intros only *2024-10-15, version 24.04.05* I don’t like that they’re not complete stories-annoying ### 1/5 — Poor design!!! *2020-10-23, version 1.4* I can not give more than one star because of not being able to close the advertising. The x is put so small and so far in the corner that it does not work. All it does is to open 3 more app trying to force the advertisement app on you. So you have to close the story app then the same thing happens over and over, no matter how many times you try. This is just a waste of my time. I’ve deleted the the app, good riddance!!! ### 1/5 — Can somebody tell me the answer to this *2018-06-30, version 1.1.4* The white death one really scared me is it real or fake 😥 ### 1/5 — Does the chain links work? *2018-06-29, version 1.1.4* If they do, I am deleting this app and calling the police 1 star I’m scared ### 2/5 — Cute *2024-10-17, version 24.04.05* They are cheesy and not scary but a cute little read ### 2/5 — Fix please *2021-06-18, version 2021.02.14* How am I supposed to read the stories if I can’t scroll down to read the rest of the story…😒😒 ### 2/5 — Not Original *2019-06-25, version 1.2* These are all taken from scaryforkids.com, including the category covers! What the hell? ### 3/5 — Rate *2025-06-17* It’s good but I still want a thing were we can search the stories we want because I want to read Bloody Mary but I can’t find it so to find it easily I could just search it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-01-19, version 25.04.10* At first I thought this was going to be some kind of dumb app with non-scary stories that are not official,but this is actually kind of good! I like it! Big fat 5 stars ### 5/5 — Great *2025-07-04, version 25.04.10* It’s the best it is really smoky, ### 5/5 — Great job *2025-06-09, version 25.04.10* I love reading so this is perfect thank you guys 😄😁💋 ### 5/5 — Amazing app worth every penny *2025-04-04* If you are a fan of horror stories then this is definitely the right app for you.

Full of different stories. And for one time, it’s REALLY FREE!!! 😍 ### 5/5 — 😱 *2023-07-28* I enjoy anything that’s a horror story or scary story whether it’s true or fictional so I’d say the people who developed this app know what they’re doing and so far I am enjoying your curated collection of scary and horror stories so for anyone who is a horror fan I recommend checking out this app ### 5/5 — I just downloaded this today and it is the best *2023-04-14, version 22.10.25* I love this app because it has so many cool books!!Anyways ,I have always been an horror lover.I always loved the Stephen king movies.And he wrote so many books.But I didn’t feel ready to read such long books because I hated books ,in till know ,the first book I read on here was internet star.It was about a unknown killer that took creepy pictures online on a weird website.It sounds bad when I say it but it is actually very good.Anyways,I had a good feeling about this app.Only has some adds.I just love it so much you should download it know. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
