Great story-telling app

I’ve been looking for an app like this for some time. I found this one today and gave it a try. So far I love it. It’s easy to use and offers pretty good functions. I would like to see several things. 1-the ability to offer more than four choices. 2-the ability to make the Go To function go to a random page, either in a given range, a given chapter, or selected set of pages. 3-the ability to assign a random number to a variable. Edit regarding update 1.6.1 - font stroke color cannot be changed back to “none” once you pick a color. Picking “none” simply retains the past color picked. Please add the random number capability. I need to be able to generate random events (what’s in a particular room, or what treasure is in a box.) Edit: Been 3 months since an update. Still desperately hoping for random functions (random numbers to variables and random “go to” locations. Any time soon?

Edit: Any plans to update the app soon?

Response from developer

Thank you very much for the review and the suggestions, we are going to include them in our development tasks and see if we can make them work in future updates. We hope to play your stories soon!

Really cool but needs some improvements

This so an amazing app to make visual novels but I wish that we had more control when editing the home page like we can change color fonts and size of the homepage text but overall this is a really good app

Really fun! Just one problem, not sure if it’s an issue in my end

This is a really fun app and it’s worked great for me so far! It’s absolutely perfect, there’s just one thing I’m having trouble with. The share function won’t work for me, I’ve tried sending the visual novel I’m making to my friend because it’s a sort of collaboration with her oc’s, but it always fails to send. I’ve tried what I could by sending it through files and stuff but it hasn’t worked. I’m not sure if it’s a problem on my end or the device I use, for example I use an iOS, so maybe some sharing formats just aren’t compatible? Regardless thanks so much for this app! I’m having a lot of fun with it!

Deleted

Hi, Kocho. I’ve recently re-downloaded this app and I’ve came to realize that everything from my workshop is deleted. It’s all gone, almost as if it’s my first time downloading this app and I can’t recover anything seeing as this is on another device. I really enjoy this app and I had fun stories in mind, so plz help. Thank you!

Great app, unusable due to constant crashing

I came to this app hoping to bring my ideas to life, so I got two of my main characters together for my prologue scene. This app has been great, until the preview, that is. I JUST wanted to make sure everything would play properly, and literally what happens every time is the app will just crash before it can even show the second main character. Please fix this app, it's really great but I can't give you more than 2 stars if I can't even use it.
