Always had a good experience until now. Every time I try to access my library in the app, it crashes. I can't play anything anymore. My phone thought a webview update caused it, but resetting that to factory settings made no difference. Using a Galaxy S20 FE. Solved the issue by having to uninstall and reinstall the app. 3 stars now. Might increase if no more issues pop up.

Lots of stories aren't free, but it's so worth it. One gameplay of a particular story took me 2 days to finish, and that was for only one possible branching path. The stories, of course, can vary since hosted games are stories that are hosted by a wide variety of authors and artists. It does its job well enough, being a hub for these stories so you can find and read them easily all on one app, thoughit lacks a lot of features such as a "read later" or history feature.

I really enjoy the stories available, but I can't rate this app higher because there are a few issues with the general menu. It's hard to avoid swiping past several stories on the store page due to some sensitivity issue, and the search tab resetting the order if you tap on a book and then go back. These are small issues, but they have existed for many, many years and it gives the impression they don't really care enough to make these simple quality of life improvements
