### 1/5 — Broken so

*2025-01-21, version 1.0.4*

App no longer works, can’t get past the title page. 
There hasn’t been an update in 9 years. So it either needs an update or removed from the App Store.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-10-12, version 1.0.4*

I played Beauty Within, when it first came out in 2015 or 2016.  I recently went back to replay the entire Nevertales series and fell in love all over again with the Nevertales Beauty Within.  Its was the first and is still outstanding game in 2022.

### 4/5 — Liked it but ….

*2022-02-21, version 1.0.4*

Love Big Fish games but in the Childrens Room only one key worked in the opened book.  Also what does the purple thing do, It moves but couldn’t find anything it interacted with.

### 5/5 — Fantastic game

*2022-01-17, version 1.0.4*

I really enjoyed this game and can’t wait for the next one. Seeing others feedback about glitching in the tower, I found if I didn’t hold the magnifying glass correctly it would look like it had frozen when in fact it hadn’t. I liked that I could go back and collect the collectibles I’d missed. My only constructive criticism is that after completing the bonus chapter and the hidden chapter, it didn’t tell me it had ended yet there was nothing else to do.

### 1/5 — Beauty within

*2021-10-12, version 1.0.4*

Apart from its terrible story line there is one scene in which the hint is completely useless and I had no other option but to reset the game again and start from the beginning.

### 1/5 — Totally stuck . Nothing works

*2021-01-25, version 1.0.4*

Played the free part and paid to unlock. Since then I’m stuck. Done everything in the library but where ever I click or ask for help it says “there’s nothing to do in here right now” . I’ve tried everything.  Really annoying ! There’s no going forward and no hint. It’s just dead . Infuriating,

### 5/5 — 🙂

*2020-12-20, version 1.0.4*

very fun game

### 1/5 — Full of bugs and glitches

*2020-09-26, version 1.0.4*

Unlocked game and paid game glitches all throughout even at the very beginning when entering player name.
However had to uninstall game as it froze on the magnifier glass puzzle, seems a few people have encountered this bug after reading the reviews.
When reinstalled game had gone back to beginning and needed to paid ANOTHER £2.99 so requested refund from Apple

### 3/5 — Mia

*2019-07-20, version 1.0.4*

Like this game, all was going well until I hit the castle then the game froze with the magnifying glass on the book. So to unfreeze I will have to start again from the beginning, with. O guarantee it will not do same again.

### 3/5 — Glitch

*2019-02-23, version 1.0.4*

There is a glitch in the game. When I’ve made the potion and tried to get the code from the book of passage it freezes. I’ve restarted the game 3 times and it’s done the exact same thing. I’ve put the magnifier on the right code but it doesn’t let me select it and move on.
