I can’t go further. I want to finish it ### 3/5 — Diverse Hair *2022-10-29, version 2.45* I really enjoy the stories. They are well written and have enough drama and love to keep me coming back. Graphics are beautiful, but my only complaint is honestly hair options….I know But I just wish, as a black woman, that there are more Afrocentric hairstyles. I wanna play someone who looks like me. I can only recall one story where there is a cute curly Afro type style, but if we could have more options like box braids, locs/dreads, Afros, that would be lovely cause representation matters. **Developer response:** Thanks for feedback! We are constantly working to improve our content. Stay tuned! ### 3/5 — money taker. *2022-02-09, version 2.25.12.1* What was the point of adding the wheel if you have to use 20 diamonds just to spin it ? There’s not enough options to gain free gem rewards… ### 4/5 — I really like this app but.. *2021-12-01, version 2.18.14* I really like this app it’a really fun to read but I’m currently reading Hero’s of the galaxy but I’m at chapter 5 n it won’t let me read it it seems to be locked does anyone know how to unlock the chapters in the stories? ### 3/5 — Can’t use my character I made for the cut scene?? Why? *2021-06-25, version 2.6.12* This app would have gotten at least a four from me but took a star for the terrible generic cut scene. To afraid to use my brown character for the live scene???? Do better thanks. ### 3/5 — Okay Game But It Glitches and Freezes *2021-05-31, version 2.4.9* Was enjoying the game until it kept glitching and freezing on me during the Do Not Disturb story for chapter 8. I even tried to send a message in the support tab but it wouldn’t go through and I cleared my cache to see if that would work and restarted the app but it still acts up on me. I enjoy the game, the plots are interesting as well but I agree with other comments about the diamonds and hope they’ll be a log in reward system soon. But if someone could please fix this glitch and freezing I stated earlier Id rate higher plus I’d really appreciate it, thank you. **Developer response:** Hello! Please update the game as we released a fix update that fixed this bug. If the error persists after the update - describe your situation in more detail and send screenshots at support@ayist.games and we will try to help you. ### 5/5 — Awesome! but... *2021-05-30, version 2.4.9* This app is outstanding, the graphics, storylines, except there’s one problem in the story Do Not Disturb. The update that has been released, when I read chapter 8 of the story, I am unable to tap anymore and it just pauses at the main character even though it says tap. Either it’s a bug or the chapter is unfinished I’m not entirely sure. But at this point I’m on the edge of my seat with this chapter right now 🥲 **Developer response:** Hello! Please describe your problem in more detail to us at support@ayist.games and we will try to help you ### 5/5 — Game isn't loading *2021-05-29, version 2.4.9* I'm currently playing chapter 8 of do not disturb and I'm at the bathroom scene and I won't move forward. I closes the app and restarted my phone and still not working is there anyway can this issue be fixed? ### 3/5 — Has potential but... *2021-05-15, version 2.2.1.10* They only have like 8 books and takes forever, weeks and months to get a new book or episode. I spent diamonds on a choice that never happened so I’m getting disappointed by this game and might delete it because updates take forever to just get a one chapter upgrade. If they were to have a big update and more books, this app will be very popular more than other apps because the graphics are pretty good. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Once the architecture of the game is stable, we plan to add new content every week.

Only problem is that even after I signed in on my account it’s telling that some functions aren’t available. Also another problem is that at the end of the story when I selected spud level the awards and watch the ads it never gives me gems. Other then that the stories are amazing and the characters have amazing designs. **Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 stars! Some features will be gradually introduced into the game with each new update. Also, the game is still encountering an error that there is no reward for completing the first passage of the chapter, and it will be fixed in the near future.

Too expensive!!!!! *2022-06-23, version 2.36.21* Great stories, I loved dark temptations loved it!!! but I feel like theirs to much money spend on gems when they go out real quick plus NO rewards!! at the end of each story after I spend a lot in each chapter I feel like I’m being ripped off. THEY NEED MORE REWARDS AT THE END OF EACH CHAPTER ITS TO MUCH MONEY!!!! ### 1/5 — Game keeps crashing *2021-12-12, version 2.18.14* I was about to play a horror story in this app when the game keeps crashing for no reason. ### 1/5 — No interesting stories *2021-12-09, version 2.18.14* These interactive books have become a favorite of mine. I’m not new to novels, but unfortunately, I may end up deleting this app. I’m losing interest. Some of the books that are available good and some aren’t. I have some favorites like The Neighborhood Witch and The Dark Temptation series, but my biggest complaint is the waiting period to read the next chapter. It’s like your waiting 2 weeks or more to possibly read the book. At this rate it will take you forever to finish a book and I’m Losing interest in this app. **Developer response:** Hello! Once the architecture of the game is stable, we plan to add new content every 7-10 days.

When you're starting to like it and go a bit deeper through the story you need to PAY for any positive choice for your character or things will get ugly dramatically and there is no third choice for you. “Pay or suffer” is the right title for this game. Every choice is at least a dollar, could be 2-3 dollars per choice and there is no break from it😂 RICH ONLY ### 1/5 — ITS GLITCHING *2021-08-05, version 2.9.1.1* The app is glitchy and keep coming up with a network error message and when asked to be reconnected, the reconnecting doesn’t happen. ### 1/5 — Why bother giving choices?? *2021-06-01, version 2.4.1.1* Why bother giving me choices when I’m forced to take the one I don’t want. I took every choice but one because I didn’t want to do it and they all made me go pick that one. So I wasted 25 diamonds to have to back to the choice I refused to do. Not very interactive if you don’t honor the choices I make. I like this app until now. ### 1/5 — More inclusiveness *2021-04-15, version 2.0.26* New update same problem. What’s so hard about having all skin tones for all stories??? Every update it’s still stories that lack this simple concept, excluding white of course. Every story always has a white MC. The only guarantee. All skin tones should be available in all stories. It shouldn’t even be something anyone should have to say. Art should also match the MC you choose not default to the white MC. Has potential to be a great app. Was told the big update rectified this issue but sadly nothings changed. **Developer response:** Hello! We are constantly working to improve our content and will be adding more customization options soon, with more options to choose from in the future. This is quite a massive amount of work and we are focused on ensuring that new stories have a full range of options. ### 2/5 — Why? *2022-11-28, version 2.45* I w always enjoyed active stories and have tried many throughout the years but I hate, hate, hate when you have to use diamonds for choices. I just deleted this app right when I had no option because the choice cost diamonds. I understand that you need to make money but mean come on. ### 2/5 — It’s ok *2022-08-20, version 2.41* Don’t get me wrong I like the game and the story’s but I hate that I can’t get past certain chapters because nothing loads up I tried refreshing the page and started the chapter over and still nothing, disappointing really ### 2/5 — Very glitchy. Can’t even play. *2021-08-06, version 2.10.1* This is one of my favorite story apps but more often than not it won’t load past the title screen...extremely frustrating. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Worth it *2023-06-24* I just love the app so far and will definitely continue to use it, but my only problem is that with many of the addictive stories there are so many diamond choices back to back without a break, but besides that it’s a really good place to read and waste time10/10💗 ### 5/5 — Not many stories but still my favorite app *2022-05-22, version 2.34* I absolutely love the stories, I really get into them but I wish there were more options as far as stories go. There are not many to choose from so I end up going a while without playing until a new story is released and I hopefully like the theme. Outside of the limited stories I am more than happy with how well the stories are written and I would say this is my favorite app for visual novels. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback and 5 stars! We are constantly working to improve our content. We hope that the following stories will please you. Stay tuned! ### 5/5 — Dark Temptations is absolutely amazing *2022-01-30, version 2.23.24.19* I love the Dark Temptations story soo much! The graphics are absolutely beautiful and so detailed. The writing of the story is so fun, romantic snd intriguing. It keeps me waiting for more and replaying the game now a second time to choose different dialogues/action choices/outfits. I absolutely love Haranor so much and my fairy character with him. I hope there will be more stories with Haranor and the Dark Ones vs Light Ones. So gorgeous and beautiful! I like Ksanor but Haranor is my fave guy in Dark Temptations by far the most thrilling, handsome and dominant man for my light one fairy main character to fall in “love” with. I love the facial expressions and when the brothers eyes turn black. The game is triggering for those who have suffered through abuse and trauma. I wish there was a warning for certain chapters. Other than that, I hope I can read more stories with my love, Haranor and have him be with my fairy character so they can have the life they want together. Please add more stories about their future married life together. Thank you so much! 😍🥰🤗💖❤️‍🔥 **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback and 5 stars! We are constantly working to improve our content. We hope that the following stories will please you. Stay tuned! ### 5/5 — The best! *2021-12-27, version 2.21* From the customization to the stories, this is literally the best interactive game yet - and I have a lot downloaded. The only thing I think can can complain about is the limited stories this currently has and how long it takes for new chapters to be listed. I hope soon there will be more stories especially the second book of “Blood in the Spotlight”. Nevertheless, I love this app and pray more stories and chapters come soon.. so I can play! I think I have read all of them already lol. Either way, props to the developers and creative team for Novels. You all have created the best interactive game to date (besides Episodes). **Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 stars! We are constantly working to improve our content. Our game is updated by chapter and at the moment there are 3 stories to which they are being added. Negotiations with the author are still underway about the 2nd season of BitS.

My current favorite stories are Blood in the Spotlight and Neighborhood Witch. The writing doesn’t feel stale and actually flows quite nicely, which helps keep me immersed in the story. I love the characters a ton and the art for them is fantastic!! I also love how it’s animated, it makes everything feel so much more lively. Another thing I appreciate is the amount of customization. I’m actually able to make a character that looks exactly how I want them to, which is amazing!! The outfits are all so gorgeous as well and if I had the money, I’d buy them all. All in all, I can tell the team is pouring all of their love and effort into this app and I thank you for this. I hope this review gets seen because I want you all to know how wonderful you’re doing!! I’m looking forward to new chapters and new stories (potentially). P.S. I would love to see more horror/thriller/mystery stories <3 **Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 stars! It is a great joy for the whole team that they were able to meet your expectations and receive such a high assessment of our work. We are constantly working to improve our content. We hope that the following stories will please you. Stay tuned! ### 5/5 — NB important *2021-06-19, version 2.6.12* This application doesn’t have the French language available . Only 4 language work on it Can you set up this please ! Have a great Day!!! ### 5/5 — This is where it’s at! *2021-06-08, version 2.4.1.1* I really like this app! I don’t mind waiting for stories to come out! The visuals are amazing! Chefs kiss 😘 please keep doing what you’re doing and please don’t change. ### 5/5 — I like it *2021-06-06, version 2.4.1.1* Pretty good app. Most of the stories aren’t my cup of tea though but the ones that are (like Dark Temptation and Blood in the Spotlight) really nail it. It’s a relatively new app so I know they’re still finding their footing and see what does and doesn’t work which is why I’ve given it 5 stars. I think they have a lot of potential. The highlights of the stories I like are that they give your character a lot of agency in the decisions they make and the story really does change based on what you decide. I don’t feel like my character is just being pushed around by the story or the other characters which is really nice. Some critiques I do have is that I wish we’d get more brown/black characters with just brown eyes. I find that way more attractive and realistic. I’m also hopeful for a more consistent update schedule. Doesn’t have to be supper frequent, but I like to know when to expect updates is all. **Developer response:** Thanks for the 5 stars! We have already launched several stories with a variety of appearance choices and there will be even more of them in the future. We are also constantly working on improving our content and will soon add even more customization choices so everyone could find a character for their liking. Also, once the architecture of the game is stable, we plan to add new content every week.

The prices aren’t bad at all and the choices are all compelling. My only problem is there’s no way to contact support directly about problems? I’m currently unable to progress through Do Not Disturb because it freezes after Jane calls (when the MC is in the bathroom). How can I fix this? Nothing has worked to move it forward and I’ve used a bunch of gems trying different things just to get it moving 🥺 **Developer response:** Hello! Please describe your problem in more detail to us at support@ayist.games and we will try to help you --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
