But when I was creating my story called A Player and I could not publish the first chapter it was because I could not log in. I have now double checked everything and it says valid email. I don’t know what to do and I really want to publish this romance story. If you are reading this I recommend getting this game if you like to read texting story’s but if you want to creat your own story don’t get frustrated because it’s not just you it’s everyone. If an update before January 15, 2024 to fix this would be great and even sooner would the great. Another thing is when creating a story you need to go on a website if you could please allow people to do this on the site and add photos from your camera roll instead out of photo apps would be great. Sorry for the long message just fix this and your game will get five star. I’ll write another review when this happens but not for 3 years is my guess. Love this game just fix this bug and continue with your business. Eliza Young Book I wanna publish: A Player - December 9th, 2023 ### 2/5 — Login sucks *2023-09-16, version 2.1* I cant even make an account, the send email button is covering up the agreement box so I cant even tap it ### 1/5 — Can’t write *2023-05-01, version 2.1* The other day I downloaded this app and I logged in w/ gmail and I wanted to write a story and it won’t let me and the website is asking for a code. The out that I have to use my number so I typed it in and there is an error. So if you can fix this then my rating will change. 👎🏼 ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-01-24, version 2.1* This app is amazing! I love reading text stories!!! I’ve had it for years and it’s awesome! I only gave it 4 stars because I hadn’t opened it in a while and recently, I opened it (3 different times at 2+ hours apart and once just a minute ago) and it just constantly tells me to come back in an hour or 2 because I’m “reading too fast”. I sent an email 2 or 3 days ago and have gotten no response so I don’t know what is going on, but I won’t give 5 stars until that issue is worked out. ### 3/5 — It’s ok but *2022-12-22, version 2.1* So, obviously the app is great! You’re able to read many stories and create your own stories! The problem is when it comes to creating your own stories you have to login to Texties author through a separate device like a laptop or a tablet. In my opinion it just seems to over complicate things. We should be able to create stories inside of the app, instead of going to web browser to do that. I think there used to a time where we could create inside of the app but maybe an update had changed that. If possible PLEASE. PLEASE. PLEASE. Bring cresting a texting story INSIDE the app. ### 5/5 — This is the best app ever *2021-03-01, version 2.1* This app makes u wanna read ALL DAY like Ik sometimes someone wants to read a book but as soon as they start reading it gets boring the stories on this app NEER gets boring ### 5/5 — Woahhhh *2021-02-16* The app is beautifully well designed. Simple yet effective. Plus the stories are amazing, I’m gripped on the first one I’ve read- had to drop this review bc I was impressed by how little people have actually noticed this app. ### 3/5 — Cant sign in *2020-12-12, version 2.1* I’m having issues where I can’t sign in. It says it can’t find my phone number (when it’s the correct one) and when I tried email it won’t send me the confirmation code. Could you please fix this? This app is enjoyable beyond this technicality. ### 5/5 — Good Reading App :) *2020-09-24, version 2.1* Very nice stories to read :) ### 5/5 — Need help *2020-08-30, version 1.2* I really love this game but when I needed to log in I put my phone number and it won’t sent the code plz help ## Frequently asked questions about Texties ### What is Texties?
