### 3/5 — Wonderful First Story

*2024-01-06*

I’m enjoying “Queen of the Night”. It’s my first story on StoryLoom. However the app itself can make it difficult.  It doesn’t handle going from wifi to cellular well at all.  I have to re-read chapters in order to advance the story. An easy fix would be allowing the reader to unlock chapters manually.  StoryLoom also crashes at the end of chapters. I’m only 13 chapters into my first story & this has happened.  Dev team has some work to do. Fix this and the app will be 5 stars.

**Developer response:** Hi Jeffrey, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! I'll be sure to share it with our team. For the crash your experiencing in Queen by Night, please try loading it on a web browser. You may receive a white screen at first so try refreshing the browser a couple of times. If that doesn't help then please email our support team at help@pixelberrystudios.com so we can assist further. Thanks! - Nicole

### 4/5 — Keeps shutting down

*2023-12-29*

I really like this game the minute I started playing that is until I got to my 6th chapter it wouldn’t load next thing I know I’m sent back to my home screen so I got back on and experimented a bit a played another story and it loaded so I went back to that same story and the result was the same

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for letting us know. If the same chapter has been consistently crashing, please try loading it on a web browser. You may receive a white screen at first so try refreshing the browser a couple of times. If that doesn't help then please email our support team at help@pixelberrystudios.com so we can assist further. - Nicole

### 4/5 — Love it, but missing something

*2023-12-21*

I love the whole concept of the app, but I wish character customization was an option, like on Choices, in the near future.  🫶🏾

**Developer response:** Hello, we appreciate you taking the time to share your suggestions! We hope to have more character customization options available in the future but I'll be sure to share your input with our team. Enjoy playing! - Nicole

### 3/5 — It’s OK, but it has a few issues

*2023-12-14*

Number one is the fact that it takes too long to switch from tab to tab trying to go from like your bookmarked stories to browse other stories. And also the fact that just some of the stories take way too long to load I’ll update with better view once these kinks get fixed.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us! I'll be sure to share all of your comments with our team. In the meantime, if you have any other feedback or suggestions, feel free to also share them with our support team by selecting Contact Support found in the in-game Setting. Thanks! - Nicole

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2023-11-22*

I love the stories but it’s hard to enjoy them when you can’t pick up where you left off because it is constantly crashing. In the first two hours I have had to redownload the app 3 times because it can’t reload ONE story. Very frustrating and almost has me at the point where I no longer care and will not continue.

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry that this has been happening. If one chapter has been consistently crashing, please try loading it on a web browser. You may receive a white screen at first so you'll need to refresh your web browser a couple of times. If that doesn't help then please email our support team at help@pixelberrystudios.com so we can investigate this issue further. - Nicole

### 2/5 — Fix bugs

*2023-10-28*

If you want to restart the story it won’t unless I uninstall app and reinstall each time. Another issue is you have to wait for writers to update sometimes months or never so you get excited about a book then nothing. I have seen some great first chapters that I get excited about but then never a second there should be a requirement to at least finish
A story once it is started.

**Developer response:** Hi kiki, I'll be sure to share all of your feedback with our developers. In the meantime, you can show your interest in a story by commenting under specific chapters that you'd like to see more from! Also, for more help with restarting, please reach out to our support team in the in-game settings so we can assist further. - Nicole

### 5/5 — Love the app. A bit slow though

*2023-10-24*

Enjoy some good stories here. Really like Queen by Night!!

**Developer response:** 👋 Hi Seaweed98!  I really like nori btw.  Thanks for leaving us feedback.  We're working on making the app load faster.  Feel free to send us more feedback at help@pixelberrystudios.com. 😊 Enjoy! - Jasen

### 4/5 — Please fix the bugs & crashing

*2023-10-17*

This is the best story app but I’ve gotten to the end of several stories and it just freezes on the last chapter and I have to start the book all over again! There’s no setting to restart just the chapter, you have to restart the entire book. It also crashes often. Please fix it!!

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry to hear this is happening. Please reach out to our support team by selecting Contact Support found in the in-game Settings and our team can look further into the frozen scenes and crashes you're experiencing. - Nicole

### 5/5 — Super enjoyable game

*2023-10-11*

Great story telling and customer support was fantastic. Would definitely recommend you give this game a try!

### 1/5 — Not working at all and app takes my credit but …

*2023-09-25*

I normally won’t do negative reviews but I love this company and I am beyond disappointed. I can’t play any of their stories because the app won’t process the purchase of a story. It just spins in place. Then if I cancel out and just close the program, I come back and the credit is gone but no book.

**Developer response:** I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble purchasing a chapter. Please send a message to our support team by selecting Contact Support found in the in-game Settings so that our team can investigate this further for you. - Nicole
