I mean I already hate this ### 4/5 — Why I give it a 4/5 star *2025-07-03, version 4.5.2* It could be better because making books are expensive of game points ### 4/5 — Good app but crashed… *2025-05-13, version 4.2.1* This is an amazing app for writing story’s but when I clicked on “view story” it was loading the pages and it stopped at 5 and it said low memory warning and crashed and then I cleared up some of my storage,restarted my phone,and end checked to see if I had to update the app,as well as closed out of my other tabs.i don’t why or what caused this but I’m upset. ### 4/5 — Okay.. *2025-05-08, version 4.2.1* NO MORE PAYING AND SIGNING IN TO GET OTHER STICKERS ### 2/5 — Glitch placing pictures *2024-06-08, version 3.7.3* Good app this is really weird glitch. It kicked me out when I tried to place pictures. Maybe I have too many books or something because I have a lot but the glitch is kinda annoying. Please update the app. ### 2/5 — Fun, but want everything free *2023-03-21, version 3.7.3* I wish everything was free! Such as, stickers, text fronts, and it won’t let me add another book!

Despite being a free install the pressure to buy more features just to make basic story is ridiculous,, constantly trying to explain why many of the features are locked when we’re trying to explore possibilities just isn’t worth the effort or fight,, All in all best avoided unless you want to be continually nagged to complete in app purchases. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2025-06-13, version 4.4.0* Even though I paid I can’t use the stickers or anything and it deletes the story every time waste of money and energy buggs out all the time ### 1/5 — Uploading videos to photos wont work *2025-05-14, version 4.2.1* The app keeps crashing every time I upload a story ### 1/5 — Please help me😭 *2024-12-23, version 3.7.6* The voice thing was good but when I was writing a story when I was typing it it didn’t give me any more room and I was only one mine. I’m in two lines and it kept taking away all everything except for one part of the bit that I wrote without typing with typing and Then it just took every single thing away and I kept having to do it again and again and again, please help me ### 1/5 — :( *2024-03-26, version 3.7.3* I was so excited to make a book. I had it all planned out, I’ve always wanted to make one but I have no drawing skills. I was excited because I didn’t have to try and draw a background! But you have to pay for the backgrounds :( please fix this. ### 1/5 — Pay *2024-03-24, version 3.7.3* I have to pay for a unlimited pages. That makes impossible to publish a kid friendly book. It is way too much dollars to pay every single sticker in the app. This app is garbage. Highly do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Really restrictive. *2022-10-12, version 3.7.3* My daughter wanted to make a book about cats only to find out it’s locked behind a paywall. You stink my story. ### 1/5 — Umm? *2021-06-03, version 3.7* This app looks appealing but once downloaded,it is very childish and doesn’t have many options it also glitches and draws messily ### 1/5 — This sucks *2020-10-17, version 3.6.5* There needs to be a way to print your book ### 1/5 — you have to pay *2020-10-13, version 3.6.5* This app doesn’t let you make any good books or said a good picture or say a good name or make any good books you have to pay if you want anything good. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I guess *2026-08-20, version 5.0.0* There’s nothing to do with this ### 5/5 — You should get my story *2026-04-30, version 4.7.0* You should get my story it’s a really good app that helps kids right stories. You can go to your photos and get a photo or you can get a do get a fake setting, they are really good and you can search for your stories so I think you should get my stories ### 5/5 — 😱 *2026-03-01, version 4.7.0* Amazing so many things to do get now ### 5/5 — We need to zoom in *2026-01-27, version 4.7.0* So I was writing a poke Miku story for Pokémon red and I literally coudint zoom in and it keeps on messing up with my drawling ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP!!! *2026-01-23* I can’t believe that l can publish my stories it is so so cool ### 5/5 — I have an idea. *2025-08-10* What if you improve the app by giving kids back the purple book button (it left a long time ago, that’s why I can’t remember) and still keep the Magic story guide? **Developer response:** Hi Olivia! We just updated the app to hopefully fix the issue you were having with the purple book button aka the Page Manager, please give it a try! ### 5/5 — So COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL *2025-06-07, version 4.3.0* My brother’s age is between three and five years old and my age is between eight and ten years old. My brother usually draws potato heads and the game called fall guys. His drawings are AMAZING!!!!! Perfect for ages 3-11 kids, why download My Story? ### 5/5 — My story book maker *2025-02-08, version 3.7.6* This game is a fantastic game for a young author.You can make your own books and share them. ### 5/5 — The best app *2023-10-27, version 3.7.3* Because it is so fun to make a book. And when you get the upgrade it is so fun because you get unlimited books you can make and so much stickers! ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-03-21, version 3.7.3* This is a barricade app a timer for stupid that you cannot add video clips videos, or music that’s what I meant. Do you like to record your voice and that’s all you can do but you can ride and all that stuff but you have to buy all of the stickers, but if you do buy you get a lot of stuff so I would keep this. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
