I just kind of miss the older layout but other than that the app is ok I just kind of miss the older layout which that’s obviously my opinion but **Developer response:** Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback. We'll take your suggestion into account if we redesign our website in the near future. ### 3/5 — Mixed feelings *2026-01-25* I really like this but often stops working. You text and instead of a reply no new message appears and then when you go back the message you sent is gone. I'm new to the app most time I exit the app a few times and it's fine working again but today I haven't been able to interact. **Developer response:** If you provide your device and account information to our support team at support@talefy.ai or on Discord, we can resolve this issue as quickly as possible. ### 3/5 — Frustrating but addictive *2026-01-15* The game works great if you can pay to write your own choices. I’ve learned that I can bully the AI into story cohesion if it veers or I don’t like the direction of it. My biggest frustration is having a story continue to my satisfaction just to log in the next day and be met with the error “story has been edited” and can no longer continue what I’ve worked on. At first I used this as an opportunity to start over, but it’s happened at least 5-6 times now and I’m paying $30 a month to have it kick me out of my story at a whim. If this doesn’t change, I’ll stick to reading fanfiction for free. **Developer response:** The inability to continue the story with this error may occur if you've edited something in the story settings. If you haven't done anything like this, please contact our support team on Discord. ### 2/5 — Keeps getting stuck, and changing response style *2026-01-09, version 1.43* Honestly I like it. I get to shape the character narrative. But every time I pass the 500-600 chat. Either it gets stuck or changes the response style from first person to third person and it’s annoying. Also the continuity is kinda bad. I mean honestly most Ai’s have that problem but man this one takes the cake. ### 3/5 — Needs some work *2026-01-07, version 1.43* It’s great but kicks you out of the app ### 2/5 — Started out loving it *2026-01-05* Started out adoring it…. Then suddenly the app kept having issues. Went from a glitch where specific basic function features suddenly disappeared and couldn’t be found or used, but when you go to the website it works fine… now suddenly, I can’t even open ANY stories, at all, without the app immediately crashing. Every time. I’ve closed and reopened the app completely. Checked to make sure it didn’t need an update. Checked my phone to make sure the software didn’t need to update. And I even completely deleted the app and redownloaded it….. still NOTHING has been fixed, at all. So now, the app is basically useless…. And I’ve had the subscription paid plan since I first got the app and have put a lot of money into it to basically not be able to use it anymore…. My plan is still active too…. I mean, yes I can go to the browser on my phone and access via the website itself, but the App was just more convenient….. Other than that, my only real complaint is that even if you make certain details and facts clear in your stories, it’s as if the AI doesn’t care and will still do the opposite of what you have said not to, over and over, sometimes even immediately after you correct it. The App and overall ideation has potential, but it needs a LOT of work to fix the bugs and issues…. But if the creators do actually take the time to fix this, they will have a wonderful gem for readers and fanfiction lovers like myself. **Developer response:** Thank you for such a detailed review. We're sorry you're experiencing these issues, but if you could provide us with your account and device information via email or Discord, we might be able to help resolve this. ### 2/5 — It’s a little disappointing *2025-12-08* The stories don’t stick to the theme for example if you want a romance story it turns into a drama story. They mix up character names. And the is no continuity. They change the plots midway. For example if my character was hurt by a specific character. In the next few chapters the other characters acted like it didn’t happen. Or if you character ends up always questioning themselves to the point that it’s annoying you have to keep redirecting. Don’t spend your money on this **Developer response:** We are already working on a model that holds context much longer and will release it soon. So the memory problem will disappear soon. As for the other complaints, these conditions should be written in the milestones, character descriptions, and the story itself. ### 2/5 — It’s great… when it’s not constantly crashing *2025-10-23, version 1.39* I enjoy the game, but it won’t stop crashing and I will try to refresh the app only for it to still be crashes. Fix it please. ### 4/5 — Yes! BUT! *2025-10-20* So I have been playing this for around 2 months maybe 3. I enjoy the stories how you can change the settings to fit your style in story telling. The only thing that didn’t make it a 5 star is now the app likes to freeze on me and close out. And I want to renew my premium subscription but cannot through the app. I also want to add that maybe adding a daily sign in? With extra coins and things may make it a bit easier as well? Other than that I love the app and just wish it wouldn’t freeze! Thank you! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're constantly working to improve optimization and reduce app crashes. ### 3/5 — Pay to read *2025-10-16, version 1.39* Looks like a good app but it is pay to read monthly subscription should warn people in app description ### 5/5 — Great app. *2025-10-13, version 1.39* This app is actually help me create stories for my RPG gaming. I sometimes do dungeon master, and it is actually helped me out a lot. ### 4/5 — Fun *2025-10-07, version 1.39* Fun to read and make your own story. Some glitches here and there, but updates have been helpful. ### 2/5 — Has potential *2025-09-30* I’ve been enjoying it but I just spent like 100 points trying to create a cover image for a story and it still hasn’t generated an image. So I basically can’t start the story because it can’t make a cover photo in advanced creation. This is an awesome app and I’d give 5 stars if it weren’t for this issue that won’t let me play **Developer response:** Please describe the problem in detail on our Discord server, we will fix this error and compensate for the lost Taleys. ### 5/5 — Endless creativity *2025-09-19, version 1.38* I love how smooth the app runs. It always delivers something new and creative to play with, which makes it a great tool for anyone who likes storytelling or brainstorming ideas. ### 5/5 — A game-changer for creative storytelling *2025-09-18, version 1.38* This app is incredible! The interactive story writing is most immersive and fun. It responds to my choices real-time and keeps the narrative engaging. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — F *2026-05-28, version 1.46* The conversation greeting when you create a character, I don't understand why it isn't long enough to put longer words, I don't want this app. ### 1/5 — App not working *2026-02-08, version 1.44* I’m absolutely obsessed with this app and the interactive stories. I truly love it. But the app hasn’t been working for over 30 hours and so hard to get in touch with anyone for help emails sent from app, trying reaching out on some of the social media now. The subscription fee is pretty high for the app to not work for almost 2 days currently and unable to get reply back from support or see no one addressing hey there is a outage or something which I can understand things happen. This will be a 5 star updated rating if someone can help fix my profile so I can get back to Say you hate me! lol ### 1/5 — Google Login Not Working *2025-10-12, version 1.39* I was excited to try this and used Google login button to create account which I was charged for. However when I went to download app and login, the Google login button seems to work then doesn’t open the app…also tired logging in online where the Google login button gives me a Code 500 error message. Can this be fixed? I don’t want to give a bad rating if it’s just a technical issue today that can be fixed. I’d still like to be able to use the app and change my rating if fixed. ### 1/5 — Feels like a scam since I paid but cannot make an account *2025-10-12* I purchased a month subscription for $5.99, which was successfully charged to card, through an add on Instagram. But now, no matter what I do, I cannot make an account. I’ve tried on the website, on the app, I’ve tried using my Google account and Apple account and just inputting info myself. It will NOT let me create an account, it either times out or says “error.” Please either fix this issue or I’m going to have to do a charge back **Developer response:** This error has already been fixed, we apologize for the temporary inconvenience. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-09-25, version 1.38* Nothing works ### 1/5 — Not ready yet *2025-03-21, version 1.20* I wanted to like it. I think choose your own adventure story games a greater application for generative AI. But whatever model Talefy is using isn’t there yet. The stories get lost in repetition, don’t advance and quickly grow stale. A lot of potential but just not ready. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-03-18, version 1.20* Do not use this app. They will not provide service and when you email them repeatedly asking them to cancel they’ll just ignore you. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!!!! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-03-15, version 1.20* I bought the subscription, closed the app, and when I reopened it later it was a blank screen that never loaded. ### 1/5 — App issues *2025-03-07, version 1.20* The app never opens for me unless I delete, re install, and sign back in. ### 1/5 — Don’t try *2025-03-02, version 1.20* Wanted to just try it out but just looped over and over trying to get more expensive subscription. Customer service is lacking and just in a hurry to make $ !! Don’t try!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-07-20, version 1.47* I like it ### 5/5 — Talefy *2026-07-12, version 1.47* I love the non restriction in gameplay ### 5/5 — Super fun *2026-06-26, version 1.47* It’s a fun app to play and create stories and play the ones they have!! I have a blast ### 5/5 — It’s good *2026-04-19, version 1.46* Friend suggested, gave it a shot, setup went smooth, stories adjust to choices well, no bugs found ### 5/5 — Super fun *2026-04-03, version 1.46* It’s a fun app to play and create stories and play the ones they have!! I have a blast ### 5/5 — Superb *2026-03-13, version 1.45* Superb ### 5/5 — App not working *2026-02-26, version 1.44* Addicted. I love it. So much fun. ### 5/5 — Talefy *2026-02-14, version 1.44* I love how they suggest personalised stories and think of LBGTQ+ people. I also love how it’s easy to get coins, the stories are entertaining and how you could ask for a different timeline for a show or film or book you like. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-01-23, version 1.43* App has some wierd freeze ups but overall great app ### 5/5 — My Favorite *2025-11-14* I usually don’t ever write reviews, simply because I don’t care. I’ll just delete the game if I don’t like it or wouldn’t need to write one if I do, but this one is different to me. The amount of pure hype I get from the unexpected situations and the ability to craft my own decisions makes me feel like a child watching my favorite movie for the first time. The ability to craft my own story and massively effect the world around me with the choices I make, truly leaves me flabbergasted. The only gripe I have is that sometimes my decisions that I personally write completely mess with the story. Like changing some of the situations and making it feel like I didn’t even meet those npcs or was even there in the first place. Granted I haven’t done a full deep dive yet, I’ve only made one custom story so far. I know what to avoid doing so it’s fine and I’m hoping the updates make it so the game acccounts for this or something, still I wish it didn’t do that. Overall I completely enjoy this app, and stays as permanent purchase for me. This app may or may not be for you, that’s swell. Although I know it is for me. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
