Bait and switch
We have been fans of Mr. Jim for a long time but this app is clunky and feels like a total sell out. They have flashy graphics and walk you through a pretty streamlined set up process, and then you go through the process of creating a story (obviously using AI). Then right before they let you listen to your story, it’s locked and you have to pay $8 dollars a month. Feels very scammy. Also, the UX is really visual and flashy which defeats the purpose for us because I was trying to keep my kid away from addictive games and screens. I’m disappointed and this feels like Mr. Jim is selling out for profit.

Just bad
Used to be so good but bro, please add new content. You haven’t updated pixel quest for like a year.
We need more content
Don’t get me wrong everything is good and stuff. I feel like Rio is good as well but sometimes it just feels unnecessary for it to be two minutes long and I lost my story button little radio thing for like maybe six months and then I found it and there’s only five episodes that came
Frustrating
I have to say that the Riffio app has a TON of great material and stories, but is frustrating to use.
The app has no search button to look for what you want.

No new content
We first listened to story button on Apple podcast. My kids love the stories so we purchased a subscription. After a few months, there were very few updates to their stories. Then they made an ad to download their new app Bttn plus. We downloaded and purchased a yearly subscription. They added a few episodes, but there has been nothing new for at least three months now. They have now rebranded again to Riffio, where you can make up new stories. But my kids like the original episodes where the characters have different voices etc. We feel like we’ve been ripped off because there has been no new original content for a long time now.
Update. It’s been 5 months and they added 5 episodes to Pixel Quest and 5 episodes for Critter Protectors. The lack of new content is horrible. We will not be maintaining our subscription.
