Concept is good but content is very little. ### 3/5 — So sad *2024-05-10* I wanted the app the first time is saw the Facebook video when I was with my mom. But guess what ruined it? I have to pay! It's not fair! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-05-06* I was disappointed. I bought the first Gabby story for $4.99. I thought it would be like an interactive game/story. It is NOT. It is a rushed through 10 minute Gabby cat episode. There are glitches in the video, and absolutely no interaction. There are points in the video where you’d expect there to be games but there are none. I’d like my $4.99 back, honestly. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We're sorry you didn't enjoy the experience and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know why. We are working hard to improve the app and will be releasing our first free-to-play Gabby's Dollhouse games soon. We are also looking to add more interactivity within the story itself as well. Thanks again! ### 3/5 — Need red hair option! *2024-05-02* I was super excited to download this for my gabby obsessed 3 year old! However, when I created the avatar, there wasn’t an option for red hair. The other options seemed so inclusive (hearing devices, head wraps, etc). So, I was disappointed when the closest to red was either a brown or blonde. Can a red/orange option be added? I think my daughter would recognize the avatar more as herself if it did! Also, the app keeps crashing, which makes it hard to see what the app can actually do! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback Jessica! We are adding this for our next review. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2024-04-11* Game keeps crashing and then having to start over. Uninstalling! **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that was your experience! We know how frustrating that can be. We just released a new version to fix crashing issues for certain phones/tablets. ### 5/5 — So cute ☺️ *2024-04-01* My boys love Gabby’s Dollhouse and they loved creating their characters! ### 1/5 — Disappointed. *2024-03-27* It let my daughter create herself but they don’t use her name in then show with Gabby and it’s just like watching tv. No interaction! The game kept kicking her out and making her start all over. It seems to be moving very slow as well. Boring!! **Developer response:** We really appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback! It’s hearing from parents like you that help us make Neon Wild better. We would love to hear more of your thoughts on how to improve the experience. Please reach out to feedback@neonwild.com to set up some time! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2023-08-28* As both a Psychologist and a parent of two foster children, I find this app to be beneficial in either setting. My clients are evolving in their method of thinking. They are not only able to see themselves as a super hero but can also apply certain traits and characteristics to themself. I recommend this app to everyone. ### 5/5 — My child’s the star! *2023-08-04* How exciting that my kids get to be the star of the show. Customizing their avatars was a ton of fun and the interactive stories grab their attention. I can already see them begging me for different outfits, accessories and more stories to star in! ### 5/5 — Fun and original Game for kids *2023-07-27* I was thoroughly surprised by neon wild. In a sea of apps for kids that are all extremely similar this was a great change of pace for my son. It really allowed him to feel like part of the story. I would love to see more original app content like this for kids that allows them to immerse themselves into a story or a game and feel personal. Also something to broaden their imagination and not turn them into zombies. Great work by the creators, I’m excited to see more. ## Frequently asked questions about Story Worlds ### What is Story Worlds?
