I know you need to make money somehow but it just sucks because i was having fun ### 3/5 — It’s a good game! *2025-10-11, version 10* So I just got this game today and I love it, the characters are cute, the plot is intriguing. But I have a few problems so number one I have just finished episode one and I want to keep playing but it won’t let me purchase the next episode it says “ in app purchasing is not available at this moment”, next will there be more episodes because I don’t want to spend money on this if it’s only going to last for so long, next the main character designs I feel like maybe you could add at least one or two more designs or maybe add a store were there are accessories or something like that, and instead of using real money you could do something like if we reach a certain level with the characters we unlock them but other than that it’s a great game. ### 3/5 — I love the general idea, not big fan of having to pay for episodes *2025-09-13, version 10* Quite literally, only issue with game is I gotta pay for episodes. Cant pay for the episodes. ;n; otherwise I love the game. ### 3/5 — It’s good but… *2025-07-26, version 10* I like this game a bunch but I don’t understand why we need to play to continue…if you need money, I feel like ads would be better than making us pay. This story line and choices are nice tho ### 4/5 — Make the episodes free! *2025-07-15, version 10* This app was so fun! But the only thing really wrong with it was, when you finished the episode, you would have to buy the other episodes. And they should be free. ### 3/5 — it was good until i had to pay for each episode *2025-06-15, version 10* dude the plot was so good and the fact i got to choose my crush was amazing, like why marcel kinda… BUT THEN IT ENDED. I just didn’t want to pay for each chapter! That is INSANE. I wanna know what happens between me and marc without having to pay! ### 4/5 — Unable to Purchase Episodes *2025-02-08, version 10* Whenever I press purchase, it says “Please wait until the current transaction completes” but nothing happens after that. ### 3/5 — you have to pay to play after the first chapter! *2025-01-25, version 10* Okay love love loved!!!! The beginning then, it told me i had to pay for every chapter????? Like honestly- i mean im broke, i cant afford for like 6 dollars for 9 chapters ( im exaggerating ) but i honestly deleted it right after though. ### 2/5 — I can’t buy the other stories… *2025-01-12, version 10* I can’t, it’s a good game, interesting, but I can’t buy that next games, so I just have to repeat the same one over and over. ### 4/5 — I love it *2024-12-22, version 10* Love the game, but I don’t have any money to continue playing. I would recommend if you have money to keep playing. ### 4/5 — Can't pay *2024-12-16, version 10* I love this game but I hate thaat you have to pay for the next episode(._.) ### 3/5 — What?? *2024-12-02, version 10* It started out good but your telling me I have to pay 2 bucks just to get to the next episode? No thanks…at that point just make the game a paid one then make all the episodes free, felt like a trick. It was good but cmon really? Spent 20 minutes on the first episode and was happy to finally find a queer choice-dating sim high school setting but I have to pay 2 bucks just to get to episode 2. Three stars only because I found it engaging but a waste of time if you think it’s free… ### 4/5 — can't purchase *2024-11-27, version 10* alright so, i remember playing this game about a year or two ago and loving it. so of course i decided to get it again to play for funsies, but when i went to go purchase the second episode it said in app purchasing isn't available? i exited the app and redid the episode, but it still happened. please fix this or if something's wrong on my end let me know! i'd really like to replay this game again ): ### 3/5 — Needs work *2024-11-17, version 10* I like this app. A lot. It has an investing story, cute art etc. But there are serious tweaks that need to be made. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I can’t purchase any of the other episodes. I tried to and it came up with a pop up saying ‘in-app purchases are not available at this time.’ Please fix this bug. Furthermore, I’d really like a character customisation option. What’s the point of giving my name to a character if it doesn’t look like me? It’s a good game, it just needs some work. ### 4/5 — Love! But… *2024-10-06, version 10* I LOVE LongStory, don’t get me wrong. It has a beautiful art style and good characters and minority representation. However, the only thing that’s free is the first episode, and the other 9 or so episodes are $1.99. This is a problem for kids (who’s parents won’t let them) and those who just don’t want to spend that kind of money. I still really love the game, though. It’s amazing overall. ### 2/5 — The Illusion of Choice *2024-07-08, version 10* The game gives you the illusion of choice like you’re able to tell your character what to do but most of the time it seems to be just a suggestion and they just do whatever they want and you’re just along for the ride watching the train wreck happen. This game is all about the drama not the romance. Don’t play this if you don’t love drama. The person you’re dating will break up with you for no reason no matter how hard you try to please them. Your friends will try to sabotage your relationship because they want you to be dating them instead. The ending just abruptly ends the story on a cliffhanger after a couple of lazy text message conversations even if you pay for all the episodes like I did. If I could ask for a refund and get my $13.93 back I would. ### 3/5 — Shouldn’t pay for chapters *2024-05-25, version 10* It’s a good game but you shouldn’t have to pay for the chapters. I understand you want to make money, but you could find other ways, not everyone can pay for each chapter. ### 3/5 — Not worth the money defo not *2024-04-11, version 10* What the hell why am I paying for this stupid game? Just let me go through the episodes with ads even! I don’t mind. This is an amazing game I love it so much but having to pay makes me so mad please fix that thanks. ### 3/5 — Episode 8 Glitch,,, *2023-11-18, version 9* This is probably one of my favorite visual novels I’ve read. It feels nice to have a MC that looks like you and have realistic options and decisions to make. That being said, I’ve been having trouble in unlocking the final episode? I purchased it, but it keeps registering as if no purchase was made. I really hope that gets fixed, even if this is an old game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Eh.. *2023-08-17, version 9* I was quite excited to play but it’s 2 dollars per episode… complete waste of time ### 1/5 — 9 out of 10 episodes you have to pay in order to read *2023-07-27, version 9* What’s the point in only releasing one episode then have the rest you pay for? The plot is good but not good enough to make you wanna pay for the rest. I understand that a business has to make money somehow but wouldn’t you be getting more revenue and downloads if you just ran ads & offered your consumers to pay for no advertisements? You’d most likely get better reviews if that was the case. ### 1/5 — My all time favorite dating sim *2023-05-07, version 9* I reviews this game years ago, and have since replayed it multiple times. Anyone who doesn’t like this game is weird idc. ### 1/5 — This is small also not good *2023-03-19, version 9* Ok so when I first downloaded this game I was like ok let’s do this! 1hour later I finished chapter 1 and I was just bout to play chapter 2 but it said pay!? I was like what the heck!? So I need to find another game!pls make the stories free in a week or 2!? ### 1/5 — The worst *2023-01-08, version 9* It’s 1 star because you have to pay for episodes ### 1/5 — Pay *2022-12-31, version 9* So you make a game that's gonna attract middle to high schoolers which most don't have a job or their own income and then make 9 out of 10 episodes 2 dollars each. Real smart. Also, this game isn't political so the other reviews are stupid too. ### 1/5 — Can’t buy the episodes *2022-10-10, version 8.55* I would love to play this game if it would let me buy the episodes. The keyboard doesn’t show, it doesn’t let me verify my purchases, and I have to exit out of the entire game to leave the menu. I don’t know what the creators were thinking when they coded this, but if you want people to play your game, then at least fix it so they can. ### 1/5 — It was good until *2022-06-23, version 8.55* I really liked episode one, and I was so interested in it too. I was excited to play the second episode until it said I had to pay. Sorry, but I wasn't willing to pay anything. You could of put like some sort of ad to get to the next episode or like a time limit, but money??? I can't do that sorry. But it was a very good story, but I don't like the fact that you have to PAY to unlock more. Waste of money imo. ### 1/5 — Money Scam *2021-12-13, version 8.55* I was really enjoying episode one of the game, and when I was done episode one, BEHOLD! You have to PAY to play episode two. I hate when mobile games are installed for free and you have to pay to actually play the game. It would have been a 5-star if it weren’t for the money grab. ### 1/5 — Review *2021-09-19, version 8.55* Going great until you had to pay ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2026-04-27, version 10* Hey bloom you did an amazing job on everything I just wish you would’ve finished the story. legit i bought every episode as they came out and remember even emailing yall about this. come back to this eventually! ### 5/5 — Love love love *2026-02-15, version 10* I loved this game and am so looking forward to receiving a laptop soon so I can play part two on steam! I think it’s only Available on there uhh anyhow great game! ### 5/5 — Sweet Story and Gorgeous Art *2025-08-10, version 10* I played through this sim several times as the chapters were launching. I have the song dedicated to one of the later chapters downloaded, and when it came on a few minutes ago I decided to stop in and see if this developer had any new games. Ignore the queerphobic flame reviews and give this adorable sim a chance. ### 5/5 — PLEASE READ THIS *2025-06-29, version 10* I have a few ideas and I would be very happy if you added them. 1:PLEASE MAKE HANNA JENNIFER AND JANE DATEABLE 2:LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE THIS GAME IS PERFECT😍😍 ### 5/5 — Favorite Game! *2025-05-08, version 10* I've loved this game so much ever since i was little, it introduced me to queer media and helped me discover my identity. It'd really be great if you guys could release LongStory 2 in the app store because i would love to play and i don't have steam lol. ❤️ ### 5/5 — :D *2025-05-07, version 10* Was really good in my opinion the prices were affordable unlike most games hoping for part 2 ### 5/5 — It was AMAZING 🤩 *2024-04-22, version 10* I fell in love with the turkey! 🦃the way he said nothing turned me on 🔥 his dad bod was my favorite part ❤️ I fell in love with Turkey hawk so much to the point I hung up pictures of him in my room 🥵 I bought a card board cut out of him and we started dating! 😍 he even met my parents! 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️ We’re thinking about adopting kids soon to be our turkey-human kids! 👶 Thank you to the creators for changing my life and helping me find true love! 🥹 5 star rating please download but don’t steal my man! 👨 ⭐️ ### 5/5 — Hi *2024-04-02, version 10* I love this game but it would never be delete it uncanny hbc bn the first time I played it was so fun and fun and fun yyyytt ### 5/5 — reason for episode costs *2024-03-12, version 10* everybody is upset at the fact episodes past 1 cost money. there's actually a reason. the game costs $10 on other platforms, eg the switch & steam. in total, all the episodes round up to 10 bucks, so ur actually getting a free episode and the rest are the same cost on other platforms. the game is actually really good and has an interesting plot (even though I get so much second hand embarrassment from our mc 😭) if u wanna see the whole thing and have a love interest, try searching on YT: "longstory [character name] route" (I chose marcel :'3) ### 5/5 — Love this game *2024-01-11, version 10* I love this game it is so good I wish I didn’t have to buy the other ones but what I did get from the story was great 😊 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
