Subscribed and deleted in 24 hours

I wish I had read more before paying for the monthly pass, but live and learn. I paid and still deleted it, that will tell you how bad the writing is. Not worth it.

Too many bugs and glitches

I love the stories, but there are to many glitches with rewards not working on various tasks across the day. If it wasn’t for the fact that I am already into the story, I would have deleted the app. Also too many tasks to complete.
