Devs pls don’t make everything paid ### 4/5 — 😍💔 *2026-08-16* Mui legal soq as vezes trava um pouco ### 3/5 — Legal *2026-08-08* Muito bom mas não dá para mandar vídeos ou fotos , inclusive nem dá mais para colocar foto de perfil para fazer as histórias , MELHOREM!!! ### 4/5 — GREAT *2026-08-02, version 7.3* IS NICE BUT ITS CONFUSING FOR STARTES ### 5/5 — multiplayer (?) option ?? *2026-07-28, version 7.3* I absolutely love this app!! Though, I feel there should be a feature where if another friend has the app,you two can have a group chat and make a story together!! I think it would be a really cool feature considering that I want an app like this but can’t find one. This app is very close to it and I hope you can someday add this feature !! ### 4/5 — GREAT App! *2026-07-26, version 7.3* This app is amazing! So fun to create stories with imagination, and then make it into a text story! Also, this app is FREE! So easy to use. 10/10 ✨! ### 5/5 — Why I love texting story *2026-07-26, version 7.3* Kinemaster ### 5/5 — bro memories *2026-07-22, version 7.3* i loved this back in 2019 i made so many stories its so good i promise ### 5/5 — THIS APP IS SO FUN! *2026-07-20, version 7.3* This game is fun when u want to make a story, coming up with different topics and scenarios me and my sister play this game together and we pretend to be different characters in a classroom or just a friend group it’s still so much fun! And u can use it for hat a like ### 2/5 — Why *2026-07-17, version 7.3* I used to love texting story. I still have videos from when I originally had it. But, I deleted for a while and when I redownloaded it 2 years later, it’s completely different. I don’t like the style, or that you can’t actually “enter” the chat, instead having most of the screen taken up by settings. I liked the original. Please change if back. It was such a good app. ### 5/5 — 5 star *2026-07-15, version 7.3* I’ve been watching Gacha videos and been wondering where is the story from and where can I chat from so I looked it up and saw this this is amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing and just make one. Wait a little bit more free. ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-07-14, version 7.3* Beautiful ### 5/5 — Its amazing!!! *2026-07-13, version 7.3* I love it sm!! I use it for lore and characters!! Thanks for making this app. ### 5/5 — Hazel Pim *2026-07-13, version 7.3* Ben Sean ### 5/5 — Idk *2026-07-10, version 7.3* GAY ### 5/5 — So good *2026-07-08, version 7.3* Best texting game ever honestly, you can make videos and share to your friends and there are no adds and I think it doesn't even need wi fi so you can play it whenever you want 😍😍 10/10 game definitely worth getting the app!! ### 5/5 — the best of the best *2026-07-04, version 7.3* i’ve had this app for about 6 years and its so good like soooooo good ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What happened… *2026-08-13, version 7.3* I remember using this app all most like 24/7 back then but this game definitely fell from grace. Like what do you mean chat colours are locked behind a paywall now? And to get the old version it’s locked under pro (NOW THATS SCANDALOUS) Honestly crazy.. ik the prices could be way worse but it’s disgusting to have all most every feature free at one point to slowly start locking each feature behind a paywall. ### 1/5 — What happened!? *2026-07-12, version 7.3* I have to pay to put a pfp!? It’s really confusing! I miss old texting story! I will download it if you make it less confusing or you make the pfp feature free ### 1/5 — have to pay for everything *2026-07-07, version 7.3* Now we have to pay to make a profile picture for the characters? Hell nah, I deleted your app Edit: why haven't you responded to my review? Edit: make ai free, you money hungry idiots ### 1/5 — This app is horrible *2026-07-04, version 7.3* I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW!!!! JUST AS I WAS MAKING MORE STORIES ALL OF A SUDDEN IT RESTARTED AND ALL OF MY STORIES ARE GONE!!! DO NOT USE THIS APP I RECOMMEND IT!!!! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-06-28, version 7.2* I wanted to make a texting story and post it on YouTube but this app sucks booty. First of all the WhatsApp knockoff thing is locked (which is the one I wanted for my story) and you have to pay for it. This wouldn’t be too bad UNLESS u didn’t have to fricking pay for the PROFILE PICTURE too. And then they give u these ugly ahh avatars as an option for pfp instead of choosing from your camera roll. I feel like locking the PROFILE PICTURE mind u, is a bit much, and no one wants those AI looking avatars. For the WhatsApp thing I can kinda understand but at the same time don’t. I wanted the WhatsApp background because I wanted to make the texting story feel real because the default Texting story background is not real. I don’t understand locking it though because like WhatsApp is a basic app to make ur story feel real and locking it to a subscription can make u lose users. Guess what? I just got ur app today, and guess what? Ur losing a used. SUCKS! ### 1/5 — My opinion *2026-06-05, version 7.2* Back a few years ago when I first got the app it was great I used it all the time but now you have to pay for everything like even to change the character colors to anything other than the 4 main , it’s kinda ridiculous and really annoying I used to love using the app but now all the payment stuff has really turned me away from it maybe consider taking the colors and pfp off of the payment part make how it used to be. ### 1/5 — have to pay for everything *2026-05-26, version 7.2* Now we have to pay to make a profile picture for the characters? Hell nah, I deleted your app ### 1/5 — My opinion *2026-05-13, version 7.2* I don’t like how it cost money to take send a video ### 1/5 — Horrível *2026-05-11* Eu queria editar a foto dos personagens mas está bloqueado odeio esse aplicativo ele está com quase tudo bloqueado ### 1/5 — have to pay for everything *2026-05-08, version 7.2* You have to pay just to add more than 2 characters, why do we have to pay for everything? Respond to me if you want to update this app and make the add more than two characters free. I want to add more than two characters Edit: my bad, this was for ChatTales but paying for everything sucks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool texting game *2026-08-30, version 7.3* Hehehehehehehheehhh ### 5/5 — Great for manifesting *2026-08-18, version 7.3* That’s all I had to say bye bye ### 5/5 — I don’t love it but I like it *2026-08-18, version 7.3* It is really good sometimes it can get a bit annoying but it’s all good I think you should get it so you can try it I love making up my own stories I know it is a short review but that’s because I didn’t know what to tell yow all ok bye ### 5/5 — I LOEV this app *2026-08-18, version 7.3* It’s really good Ive gotten 25+ followers on my TikTok account and a lot of likes and I like doing this when I’m bored ### 5/5 — I want old texting story back *2026-08-17, version 7.3* This app use to be good.

It’s a great alternative to character AI which was very addicting and harmful for me/the environment. It’s a great role play alternative for people who add too anxious to rp with real people ### 5/5 — A,AOWKAJAKAJW’WNKWMW *2026-08-08, version 7.3* hi I made a.
