Hooked for Negative User Reviews
✓ UpdatesHooked never used to be with money the new update is you need to purchase before you start reading i used to love this app but i know deleted it and no longer read it thanks to the new update it was better when the whole app was free and we just needed to pay to to see the images in the conversations..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Reasons why u should not download!🤍✌🏼🌴1. Doesn’t let u play app until u pay!😩🙄 2. There are heartbreaking stories that will make u cry!☹️🥺 3. might get scared and have trouble sleeping like I did!😩😖 4. U might see it fun in adds but it’s actually either terrifying or completely heartbreaking!❤️🩹😔.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Money suckers.You need money to do everything in this app it's annoying and the fact we can't see pictures!?, this is terrible..Version: 3.17.4
✓ Ehh was better beforeHad the app a couple years back and it was amazing. Honestly don’t remember why I deleted it. I redownloaded it recently and I can’t even read anything without having to pay $5 weekly… so $20 a month. Normally, I wouldn’t be frustrated Bc I understand that people gotta get paid and need to make money from their work and all but the fact that I can’t get anything at all is ridiculous. It shouldn’t have been free on the AppStore if I can’t use it without paying for it. It would be different if there was still things I could read without paying and then some stories were left for people who paid or something along the lines of that concept. Very frustrating because it was such a good app before..Version: 4.21.4
✓ It used to be good ..4 years ago or so I used to use this app when I would be bored and today I decided to get it because I thought it would be the same and atleast more fun, but when I first clicked the app it said I had to pay for it to use the app? Before it was free for all and now you have to pay to do all sorts of stuff, that’s such a ripoff and I read some reviews and they have the exact same problem like 4.99 isn’t bad but really for some stuff to read?? Thats probably the reason no one uses this app anymore. Worst app!! Never installing again. It should be free for all like before..Version: 4.22.0
✓ BroYou can’t even go on the app with out payment smh.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Your not allowed to read unless you payI am very disappointed. The last time I had this app I was reading stories all day and night then I got a new phone but I forgot about this app until I seen it on an advert so I thought I should download it again and in joy some spooky stories but when it had finished downloading i went on and I wasn’t even allowed to browse through the books you had to pay £5 a week to read stories. I am very disappointed hooked!.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Not good anymore 😕Hi! so I use to have this app 3 years ago and I loveddd Hooked! So I was just curious to download it again and which I did. So, I downloaded and it says I have to pay 20 dollars A MONTH! And I kind of think that’s just stupid. Because why would you pay $20 dollars a month for just an app or a book? I don’t understand now can some books be free and some like $1.00 or or something? I just don’t understand anymore. Like I just said that’s stupid that you have to pay $20 dollars a month. Hooked please fix this or I’m just going to delete this app. :(.Version: 4.21.5
✓ WHATYOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT NOW?.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Good story’s but a terrible platform.The story’s are somewhat good and out of the ordinary but HOOKED as a application is just terrible. Pretty much all you can do is read the text and anything else you try to do you need to pay for, and sometimes even that isn’t enough. The fact that you have to pay a fair amount of money to use the apps few but annoyingly needed features when most people don’t even use it often is ridiculous. Overall HOOKED was just made by some cheap low life’s looking for a quick buck out of people idiotic enough to purchases the features within this app and your just better off with a book..Version: 3.17.3
✓ Horrible.I got this app thinking i would be able to browse stories for free with no stress. wrong. a trial popped up with no X. it forces you to pay..Version: 4.21.4
✓ TERRIBLEThis is terrible, I was so ready to read a horror story but of course in the ad it says you don’t have to pay for it and you say it is free when clearly it isn’t, if you want a good horror story app for free download Addicted..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Please be FREE!Why you make it not free. People always want us to ply so they can get money. Stop and Change it NOW!!.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Love the paywallI was in the middle of writing something funny mocking the fake ‘free download’ and the annoying ads, but I tapped out of the review thing. Mighty not be a terrible game, but I wouldn’t know due to having to pay. Deleting this app might not be enough, I might have to throw my iPad against a brick wall and delete my Apple ID.Version: 4.21.4
✓ HorribleMade me pay extra plus, didn’t let me read anything.Version: 4.21.9
✓ Have to pay to use it now :(Sad that I have to pay to use the app.Version: 4.21.11
✓ It’s okI can’t even get in without having to pay.. I used to love reading the story’s and getting scared but now I can’t do that without having to get a “free trial” and I’ve clicked to continue with my Apple ID and my email and it still won’t even let me in to read anything I’ve tried closing the app too and it’s just stuck on unlock to read:/ they just want money now and that’s just not fun in my opinion I don’t even think they will be getting so much money bc people just don’t like how they changed it I don’t even see why you needed to change this perfectly good app to a money eater. If that makes sense it would be cool if you actually had a update to where it is free like the old times but that’s prob not gonna happen:/.Version: 4.21.4
✓ SubscriptionThe dumbest thing is that you have to pay to read a story. Just make it free, some parts premium, some parts not. I wouldn’t want to pay $8 to be reading stories every week..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Don’t downloadI was very excited to download this app for my sleepover but as soon as I opened the app I was so disappointed to find that u had to pay it was the first thing that popped up 😪😡.Version: 4.21.4
✓ So why do we have to pay now?So like, Hooked used to be free, then it went to “you can pay but you don’t have to” and now it’s “you have to pay”.Version: 4.21.1
✓ Can’t play without payCan’t even play the game without paying for it.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Nothing more than a tease for your moneyThey post adverts and tell you to download the app to read more stories, but once you do, it’s the same thing. You read until it starts to get interesting and then they cut you off. You cannot finish your stories or even see the pictures, which are seemingly integral, unless you are willing to pay outrageously large sums of money. I can buy nearly a dozen books for the price of a weeks subscription. Maybe make it more reasonably priced and you might get some people willing to buy.Version: 3.10.0
✓ HookedThis use to be free? Why have you got to pay for access now?.Version: 4.21.4
✓ What?It sucks that you have to pay. Make it free..Version: 4.21.4
✓ I can’t sign inFirst of all it doesent let me sign in, So You go into the app and it has this page it said something like buy a subscription or, if you already have one log in or something. and all the way at the bottom it says create an account. first I click the apple sign in since I have an I phone, then I put my finger on the button and it tracks it and the check mark pops up then it does nothing. So I go to the enter your email and I have mine saved, and I never changed it. I enter in my email and it does nothing..Version: 4.21.1
✓ Ughhhh!I really hate the fact that you have to be a member - and pay money to be able to actually enjoy the app. I was reading a story I was really into and like that I had to wait 15 minutes to read on. And the fact that you can’t access pictures when you haven’t paid money is stupid. It’s a PICTURE. Why should you have to pay your own money for some cheap Google image that’s been poorly photoshopped (and doesn’t look authentic)? And the thing is, if you’re reading one story and the time limit comes (which is even worse considering the chapters are super short) if you try to look at a different one to read while the time limit for your previous one is going, you can’t! You’re prevented from reading any other one. It just makes people want to download another app - not waste their time paying money for a story that isn’t even that good. A lot of the stories are really predictable too. And this review will probably be deleted by Hooked because they don’t want any possible ‘customers’ being swayed by the person who didn’t like the app. If you ask me, no wonder they currently have 3.7 stars out of 5..... Oh, and it was a month ago when I wrote this. Since then, it’s gone down to 3.6 stars. Just sayin..Version: 3.15.6
✓ Just 1 thingThis is a 3 star for me it would be 5 but I just want 1 thing added. The ability to make your own stories. I love this app and I would love to add to it but i can’t because there is not a create a story option I would even pay a one time payment for it but subscriptions are dumb so I wouldn’t do that if you start adding subscriptions I would honestly just delete the app and rate it one star because subscriptions are dumb but I’m going off track now hopefully the creators see this!.Version: 4.19.1
✓ Is it worth it? no.So I saw and ad to this app and i was like “wow i wanna read more of this story”. So i waited a little for it to download and Icreated an account and when I finished creating an account it doesn’t let me see options of the story’s. but when i press continue it’s telling me to confirm a purchase of $4.99 A WEEK. I CANT AFFORD THAT. everything now a days is already expensive and i have to pay 5 dollars a week FOR A READING APP. Absolutely not, this is ridiculous I will not be using this app, I will be uninstalling this app until there is something fixed..Version: 4.21.9
✓ You have to payI downloaded this game and played it a few years ago and I didn’t have to pay or do a email but now when I downloaded it again it says that I have to pay and do a email why isn’t it free anymore? So if you don’t really want to have to pay I would suggest not downloading this game and also look at all the bad reviews this game has..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Why do I have to pay??I have to pay just to read stories.. I remembered when this game was good and all there was were ads which was fine, Now we have to pay just to read stories which is complete nonsense and a stupid idea, I don’t even think people play this game that much anymore, they ruined the game experience and now I will be moving on to see better story game apps that don’t make you pay. I wanna give this zero stars. This is probably why YouTubers stopped uploading reacting/reading this games stories, because it’s a waste of money and a waste of time. I really hope they change it back, but they most likely won’t and it will end up having no one playing it..Version: 4.21.11
✓ Money grabbing piece of rubbishMoney grabbing piece of rubbish.Version: 2.27.0
✓ DisappointmentMake it free 😐.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Have to payYou have to pay to read the stories and it is super annoying. I downloaded the app hoping to be able to enjoy the stories but then had to see you have to pay. Super annoying.Version: 4.21.4
✓ .Didn’t it used to be free?.Version: 4.21.9
✓ You have to payI can’t access any stories, please make it free again.Version: 4.21.9
✓ Was my favorite until..I always would read the stories and everything on here. and don’t get me wrong, but i loved them. but.. now that they are charging a bunch just to read stories on ur phone, it doesn’t seem worth it at all. the stories were pretty good, but not that good to pay a lot of money. i just find it very unreasonable to charge that much. it used to be “oh u gotta pay blah blah blah to see this pic/video” but now u can’t read anything. in fact, all u can read is H00KED unlock the most addictive . stories and shows. CONTINUE $4.99 per week after FREE 7-day trial i͟͟͟͞͞͞ a͟͟͟͞͞͞l͟͟͟͞͞͞r͟͟͟͞͞͞e͟͟͟͞͞͞a͟͟͟͞͞͞d͟͟͟͞͞͞y͟͟͟͞͞͞ h͟͟͟͞͞͞a͟͟͟͞͞͞v͟͟͟͞͞͞e͟͟͟͞͞͞ a͟͟͟͞͞͞c͟͟͟͞͞͞c͟͟͟͞͞͞e͟͟͟͞͞͞s͟͟͟͞͞͞s͟͟͟͞͞͞ THANK U FOR UR TIME 😌😌😌❤️.Version: 4.21.4
✓ UGHHHH👹😒👎😡I really hate this, i have to wait soo much and i wasted 1 hour of my life.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Used to Love this AppThe stories are great and I really enjoy reading them even if it means I have to wait some time to finish the entire thing. However, I don’t like the fact that it’s a “pay to use” app now. I’m not that serious about reading these stories so once I found out that I had to pay, I just deleted the app. There are many other apps that are trying to replicate Hooked but I just find some of their stories not as exciting. I really wished I didn’t have to pay to read..Version: 4.21.9
✓ Make it free😐The last time I had this app it was free and now it costs money. This app is horrible, and if you guys want scary typing stories just search “scary type stories” on YouTube..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Don’t Buy This!This is a bad game you need to pay $8 dollars come on you can get better stuff than this find a new story game also this has really bad reviews so please don’t get it only if your rich and want to spend money instead of saving money please do not buy this bad story game. I really do not recommend this game to even be on the App Store if apple sees this please shut it down for maintenance and be banned for little kids under 18 with not much money to buy it I hope no one buys this please do not buy it WARNING if you buy it you need to give your email and make a password for your "account" so yeah do not buy it only for entertainment purposes or other purposes but this crappy game it still tells fun stories and it’s a good story game it’s probably one of the best story game’s you’ll find ever so if you want to do it do it but I,m just telling you to not buy it it’s also $8 a week.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Annoying, read before downloading this app!One thing that annoys me a lot, I downloaded the app I went on it X off premium as I do not want to buy it then the video game on and I got really excited it was so interesting but then after a few seconds it stopped and came up buy premium is X it off again and then it says wait 4+ minutes to watch the rest what annoying me because it was a good story and I only got to watch a bit and that gonna keep happening over and over again, I preferred when the app give you longer, it should show you a chapter then say wait for like 10 or something minutes depending on how long the chapter is so I’m very disappointed I wouldn’t recommend downloading this unless you want to pay £4:49 a month just to have a longer time watching it very disappointing. This app used to be amazing I keep looking for an app like this but so you don’t have to pay I think more you watch you should earn points and be able to buy points so you can watch longer and unlock things like 2 points for chapter. That would be good. BUT THE good thing is that it get longer to watch and that ..Version: 3.32.0
✓ What!!!The only problem with this app is that you have to pay to get access I’m not attempting to act entitled, I just wish that for specific stories have to be paid for but my story should be free, And again I am not attempting to act entitled I just wish that some stories to be free.Version: 4.21.5
✓ HookedGood story's.Version: 2.28.0
✓ Not what I thoughtI’ve heard good things about this app, so I decided to download it yesterday… I was really exited for the stories and stuff until I found out you have to pay just to read any story in general? The fact I have to pay to read anything on this app makes it seem like a total rip off… So I’m not going to give this app the best rate for that reason… at that point you might as well just have people pay for the app. All in all, I was really disappointed and I’ve deleted it. I really hope the developers can do something about the whole paying thing… maybe have people pay for certain stories, and not the whole app- maybe more people wouldn’t be so disappointed and the app would get more good reviews..Version: 4.21.9
✓ HiYou have 1 week free then you have to pay.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Loved it but now hate it here’s why….I used to love this app so i decided to get it again bc i deleted but it said i have to pay and my sister had this app and didn’t delete so we tried it on my sister iPad Hooked but it still said u have to pay and the update made it worse so please change it back If u wouldn’t have paid i probably give a 100 💯 out of 5 From:Tanisha To:This Person Who Made This App.Version: 4.21.9
✓ Please RespondHey there! I absolutely love the stories. However I have been trying to contact you guys on email for over two weeks and every single email address in your website is not working and saying that the address cannot be found. Every single day on Snapchat you guys used to update one story at 6 AM. For the last three months it’s been extremely inconsistent and now you guys haven’t posted for over four days. I would really just like an explanation as to what is going on and if this is going to be temporary or the future of hooked. Thank you!.Version: 4.21.2
✓ It’s not free 😐Please make it free.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Used to be good…I give it one star only because how much this app has downgraded over the time, it used to be one of my favourite apps to start off writing stories and everything and being able to actually use a app to write your own stories and read others and see all the interesting stuff others had to talk about and whatnot but now, now you can’t even write your own, you have to pay for loads of stuff now, and I’ve spent a little time scrolling through the reviews and comments made on the app and each person is saying the same thing. I understand that developers of this app need money themselves for the app but I don’t see why we can’t write our own still and be able to view free things without having to pay for everything, I’m sure you get money out of the advertisements that’s no issue but just things here and there we have to pay for, for enjoyment? Really? The app is somewhat of a ripoff and seriously downgraded over time.Version: 4.21.9
✓ 🤨It sucks you have to pay for the app cause I was excited to read the stories 😔.Version: 4.21.4
✓ BadYou have to goddamn pay! What nobody will that buy that!.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Not good at allAWFUL I tried everything I could I have them my email I gave them my phone number and they would even let me see any of the front covers or anything to do with the actual app without having to pay and I shouldn’t have to pay at all there’s other apps and I don’t have time for this.Version: 4.20.0
✓ I liked when it was freeI had it before and it was free. why do we have to pay? please fix this..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Fix this!!Honestly miss when you could create your OWN stories for everyone else to read. I deleted the app once got rid of that feature. Today I got bored and figured I’d te download the app to see if you could create your own story again. Clearly you can’t. This app was the easiest 5/5 star when you could create stories. It would be awesome if we could create stories again even if that means the subscription is a little more expensive. The HOOKED app is an awesome app but it won’t get anything more than 2 stars unless they add back the feature of creating stories..Version: 4.21.10
✓ Tbh..I used to play this app A LOT a few years ago and i redownloaded it to play a story i saw on an ad only to find out i need a subscription to pay??? don’t get me wrong i don’t mind the fact that oh you need to pay for SOME stories but the fact that you have to pay to play literally anything is beyond annoying at that point just make the game cost money on the app store if something looks free i’m gonna assume i can do whatever but with some additional fees but literally the whole thing is me having to pay just to read/watch a few stories i REALLY hope y’all find a way around this bc it was a fun app.Version: 4.21.10
✓ 🙄😡Used to be completely free now u have to subscribe and pay monthly or something. !!⚠️Needs to change⚠️!! Because I used to really enjoy.Version: 4.21.1
✓ 😭😭U have to pay-.Version: 4.21.4
✓ DO NOT GET!!!I used to have this app when i was in 5th grade and i absolutely loved it. i got a new phone in 6th and got it again then i got a new phone like a 1.5 years later and forgot about the app. i wanted to get it again since i remembered about it and now i see you have to pay to read any of the stories!!! this is so stupid!! i do not recommend getting this app at all. it is not worth it i promise you! this app is also for ages 12+ so it make absolutely NO SENSE for it to cost money to read any and all stories..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Not what it used to be……..Being an avid reader of various different titles and enjoying many different apps in order to access such titles, some time ago I used this app in order to immerse myself in the many stories this app offered. Now, quite some time later, I can no longer access nor read any of those stories, due to the minds behind this app no longer allowing people to read any of their titles unless they pay. It’s not a smart idea to not give users at least some stories to read, and leave others to be paid for. If you are reading this review, I recommend you use Webtoon, because it is far more superior in how they manage making money and keeping some content free for readers..Version: 4.21.10
✓ Old waysI enjoyed using this app whenever i was bored, but now i come back to it and you need to pay to even use it? why? the app was just fine before. you could’ve left it off where there were some free stories, and some were not. but now, for something that used to be free, you’re charging for it and it makes me upset. im sure many others agree. another thing, bring back the option to write our own stories. i dont know if this option got back, but since i cant get in on how the app looks now because i need to pay for it, im stuck in the subscription screen so i cannot see if that option is available now. i dont see the need for this many changes on the app, maybe a few bug fixes were fine but charging to use the app in general? have to disagree with you there. for now, im deleting it but i’ll come back and check in again, i really did love this app..Version: 4.21.1
✓ The picture is a liePay 2 win hacks.Version: 2.27.0
✓ It used to be free, and didn’t overload u with ads but now it does.Seriously change it back to before I wait 15 minutes every 2 mins to read and I still pay for garbage.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Love it & Hate itLove the app and the whole idea around it but I can't stand the waiting.. it's frustrating.Version: 2.26.1
✓ We have to payThis app was great when I played it like 2 or 3 years ago. I deleted the app and then decided to get the app back. When I got it back I had to pay for it. The developers need to let some of the stories be free. This use to be a free app. I feel like by them making people pay for it no one is not going to pay for and it’s going to be less people reading. I hope this helps the people that want to download this app it’s not worth it unless you trying to spend the money.Version: 4.21.4
✓ It used to be goodYou used to be able to read free stories but just couldn’t see pics or vids in the chat for free. I’ve always had it and I decided to read a story. It then said I had to re sign in which cool then it said just to actually use the app you now have to pay. You can’t read any story for free anymore so if your not going to pay it’s not worth the download. I kinda wish they would just make you pay before you download the app so your not exactly disappointed but it’s fine :) anyway have a good day bye.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Could be much better.Like everyone else, the waiting time of 30+ minutes is extremely annoying, why not have an ad instead in place of the waiting times (but reasonable amount, overdoing it will be overkill). Also I had a waiting time of 28 so minutes, half an hour later I check the time and there's 24 minutes waiting left???? There also seems to be a crashing issue each time it's loading back to the story. The idea of the app is alright, there's just these problems that bring it way down. If you want us to read the stories give us a chance!.Version: 2.26.0
✓ F*CK OFFLiked this app until it stopped in the middle of the story and asked for money. Deleted..Version: 2.16
✓ Every story is incompleteThis app used to be great and I used to like waking up and reading the stories on snapchat and then ended up getting the app. However, ALL of the stories lately are incomplete or left on massive cliffhangers...it gets frustrating and old after awhile. Maybe if they started actually putting in the effort to finish stories it would be better. They also put every single story on Snapchat FOR FREE, so don’t waste your money on the app since there are no new stories on the app..Version: 4.19.1
✓ Bad gameMake this game free, some of us are kids yk.Version: 4.21.4
✓ You can't use unless you pay..Horrible app you can't even look at other stories unless you pay.....Version: 2.27.0
✓ Used to be goodI used to have Hooked a 3+ years ago and decided to redownload it today to see what the app looked like. When I first had it, I liked it quite a bit (at least 4-5 stars) but uninstalled it because I didn’t have the storage to keep it. The stories on the app were free, it was great. When I reinstalled it today, I learned that there’s about a $5 reoccurring fee after a 1-2 week free trial. This alone discourages a lot of people who may take interest in using the app because they don’t want to pay for something just to read these stories, myself included. Thank you for reading, and for the time being my review out of 5 will remain at 1..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Explain please???I loved this app a couple of years ago and I wanted to download it again and when I did you have to pay now to even use it?!! And I even signed into my old account thinking that I wouldn’t have to pay if I did but nothing changed. There should be no reason that you have to even pay to USE the app. It’s completely outrageous. It would make sense if you had to pay to have no wait time between chapters or to pay for no adds or more stories. But to have someone pay to even have access to the app is outrageous just for a couple text stories that their most likely not even going to use a lot..Version: 4.21.5
✓ Spent $4.49 of my money without telling me!I saw an advertisement for a free one week trial and entered my password to get it. I don't know when this happened but I lost some money off of my account and I had no idea where it went until I checked my subscriptions. The free trial didn't tell me that it would take my money after the trial ended and didn't give me a clear option as to not pay! I want my money back! I got charged even after I deleted the app!.Version: 3.6.6
✓ No!I saw an ad for the app and it looked interesting so I went to get the game and it said the game was free and as soon as I go in it makes me pay before I even do anything but absolutely not no I’m only 11 years old I don’t got that kind of money absolutely not it’s all a big scam! and I can’t stand how much the ads lie because I am currently really sick and I was looking for something to do because I was bored and I found this app and I was really excited and it won’t even let you in unless you pay a ton of money per month it’s a big scam and a rig! nobody should download this! And also I bet the creator of the game doesn’t even read the reviews because he’s too self-absorbed and covered in money!.Version: 4.21.9
✓ Writing your own story’sLast year in 2017 I had this app and I loved it cause I could make my own story’s. Since then I had deleted the app cause I had gotten bored and had no space left of my phone. Today I have re downloaded the app after seeing a YouTuber using it and I was wanting to create my own story but when I logged in the part that lets you create your own story’s wasn’t there. I have gone through the whole app looking but what I want to knows is where is it? And if you have gotten rid of it, why did you get rid of it? And can you bring it back?.Version: 3.12.2
✓ It’s nothing specialI got the free trial (thank goodness) because I remember the old version where it was free, and wanted to look back at the old stories (+ the ones I made in the past), turns out they removed all user-created stories and replaced them with new more high quality stories, although they’re all nothing special and I got bored after reading 2 I wish they kept the old user created stories because there would’ve been more variety, not to mention that there’s not many stories in this new version anyway and it’s a shame what happened Perhaps worth the free trial but not a subscription of 8 AUD a month...Version: 4.21.10
✓ Bad reviewsI strongly don’t like this game having to pay for it is ridiculous distinctly terrible I’m trying to download a Game buT i Have To freaking pay stupid I cloud be bUyING gRoceries instead of this game HATE IT ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE GAME BAD EFFOTS!!! I mean look at you’re reviews!!.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Make it free againBefore u were able to read the stories and “wait🙄” 15 mins, and now u litterly have to PAY to use the app. This is seriously terrible..Version: 4.21.4
✓ It is ok.The premise is good but to get a proper experience you must get past a past a pay wall.Version: 4.21.4
✓ I can’t even get into the app without payingThe title explains everything.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Pay to play and cancerThis app is so boring, the stories are filled with uninteresting, unintelligent stories that seem overly generic and don't really show real life; like someone says don't do this 1 thing, other person says imma do it, person replies; be careful. So boring. Then on top of that, to see images you have to pay. You have to pay to read more of the story. Legit out for money. When I was young, I had cancer. It wasn't the best of times. The doctors didn't think I'd pull through, but after a few different treatments I managed to survive and it took me years to get back to what they considered would be full health. I've had a few scares since then which was worrying at the time, but after downloading this app I know I don't need a doctor to tell me that the cancer has returned. This app legit gave me cancer.Version: 3.2.0
✓ Stop Making Us Pay A LotThis has to be a 1-2 star. I loved this app until i found out i had to pay. I have to wait for an hour or more to read another part of a story which makes me so upset. I have to pay for mostly everything and i hate that. This app should be free why make everything so expensive? I would love this app if it was cheaper but other this app really is bad. The stories are great but waiting for long and paying so much? No! Make this app cheaper and free and no more waits and ads ! other than everything i don’t like the money and ads. This app used to be good until the creator of this app decided to make it expensive! The stories amazing the creator with money not amazing. Ads as well is not good and waiting as well. I genuinely don't like the payments and waiting to read another part of the story and so much ads. If you take those off i would download it again thanks..Version: 4.21.1
✓ This annoys meWe can’t see the pictures without paying and we can no longer write story’s well we can but it is really hard to do. This app started off amazing and then plummeted down..Version: 3.10.3
✓ MehSo I got The app and then I know you have to make money but like 8 dollars a week is a meh for me I see so many good reviews for this app and watched so many videos for it so I wanted to get and my mum finally let me but now They are making you pay and I believe it used to be free so I am kind of disappointed because I really wanted to play.Version: 4.21.1
✓ How do I get into itIt will not let me get into it all it says it to pay how the hell do I get into it.Version: 4.22.0
✓ Middle of the roadIt’s a fun app for specific personalities. I really like it. My siblings would be frustrated with “the over acting”. I think trying to turn words into a short story it’s necessary. Story wise no complaints. But the app needs to do a better job of remembering what you’ve already read/seen. It seems to run out of new content fast. If it was a completely free app I would rate it 5. However having to pay or waiting hours to be able to watch another 5 minute story you’ve already seen is pointless. The least the app could do is remember what you’ve see /read already..Version: 3.34.0
✓ UghNot letting me in without paying, stupid..Version: 4.20.0
✓ Garbage!It use to be free but now you need to subscribe. You can find apps exactly like this but they are free. DO NOT RECOMMEND! Don’t waste your time or money.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Used to be so good, we could submit our own storiesI USED TO ABSOLUTELY LOVE this app. When I had it I could submit my stories, one of them even made the top fan horror list. It was amazing! But what really saddened me was that you got rid of that feature. Like WHY?! It was the best feature of the app, well besides being able to read stories for free and earn the other chapters. I wish you would bring back the old feature. It would really make the app great again. Until then though this app is pretty much not even worth downloading..Version: 4.21.11
✓ MehStories are good but it’s stupid that it will stop in the middle of the story and have to wait 15 minutes before you can continue, and you have to pay like $7 a week. I’ve had the app for like 2 months and now I can’t read anymore because all it wants is for me to make an account and take my money before I can even read anything anymore. 🙄🙄🙄.Version: 4.20.0
✓ 0 starsAll the reviews were awesome but they obviously were lying because its not great at all. I have to pay to read ANYTHING. Actually, I had to pay to flipping use the app. I couldn't open the app without it asking for money. Please fix this, though I doubt you will. 😐.Version: 4.21.1
✓ WhyWhy do we need to pay in order to read???.Version: 4.21.9
✓ Don’t download this appSo I downloaded it after a year or 2 and now I need to pay for it!?U don’t think you should have to make and account and play because when I use to play it you just download it and you don’t need to pay or make and account but now it’s like wow why do I need to pay just to read horror and other stuff.I think it’s a little ridiculous to be having to pay 5 pound a month for an app! Do not download this app.Version: 4.21.2
✓ DisappointedI love this app as it has some good stories on there but since December I’ve been unable to use it or access stories at all as it keeps asking me to pay. Still haven’t heard back from customer service about this either..Version: 4.21.1
✓ GarbageIt's a waste of your time you have to pay for everything and you don't get to choose what story you read. Total garbage it's a scam just for money.Version: 3.3.0
✓ You need to pay a subscriptionsIts probably a good app but you need to have a subscription to actualy use the app.Version: 4.21.4
✓ TerribleThey bring us in, and then once it gets good they ask for some money..Version: 3.17.1
✓ Use to be good but...Hello. I had hook 2 years ago and It was fantastic made me a little addicted to it! Anyways I decided to download it a year ago again and I seen I had to pay in order to actually read the stories, I thought that was pretty much a rip off ... I understand that the payments and the money efforts but seriously? I thought you guys was going to remove that like it would’ve been better to pay for the videos that the people send on the stories and texts, (I don’t know if you do because I don’t have the app right now). But then again I wanted to download it now because I haven’t thought of anything of it ! I personally thought it was going to be good spooky, romantic, etc stories & then I forgot about the “payment to read” thing and I download it .. I get happy then I have to pay 5$ to pay and especially to finish at that? No thanks. I hope the people/person can develop and do something about that atleast? Thank you for reading I hope you have a wonderful day or night. Besides this report I feel hook was a good experience for me..Version: 4.21.1
✓ 8 dollars a month!!!You have to pay 8 dollars a month to use the app it is false advertising saying it is free don’t get this app.Version: 4.21.4
✓ App is in bad shapeI agree with most of the other reviews here saying that it used to be good but those days are very far away for Hooked. Paying 4.99 a week to even use the app is insane and unreasonable and pretty soon it isn’t hard to imagine the entire userbase drying up. On top of that the stories themselves aren’t that good and have gotten much worse over the years and the exclusive video content is just as bad. Low quality content for a ridiculous price don’t download this app the only thing free is the pay screen..Version: 4.21.11
✓ Not worth it…I get they need to make money but I wish they just kept it the way it was, by watching ads. Kinda wished they kept it that way. Oh hell, what they should’ve done was make it so we have to watch like 3 ads back to back and then make it uninterrupted for 30 minutes similar to how Spotify does it. And only shove the subscriptions if we want to remove the ads. On top of this, the stories aren’t even THAT great while it lasted..Version: 4.21.10
✓ Paying to read the storiesI had this app since I was in 5th grade (I am in 10th now) and I remember when me and my friends would read the spooky stories when we would have sleepovers. I had switched phones since then and when I went to go download it again to read more stories like that, I see we have to pay to even read stories at all. I think that is completely unreasonable. There were only fees for passes to read with and when a picture or video came up. I am honestly disappointed to find this out when it wasn’t like that for years. I hope the maker of this will go back to the way it was before..Version: 4.21.4
✓ StupidI know l may be stubborn when it comes to games and apps but this is ridiculous, l logged into my Facebook account and l said l already had access but it said nothing was found, don’t even bother, it’s a waste of time and l missed 10 mins of my life trying to figure out what the heck to do.Version: 4.21.9
✓ Don’t even tryI’ve been try by to figure how to get the app for free for the past 2 days and it still says I have to pay to read the books and my friend she got in for free no payment or anything so not recommended.Version: 4.21.4
✓ EhGood stories but it's stupid that it STOPS in the middle of a story and then you have to either wait to read more or pay...🙄.Version: 3.3.0
✓ TrashI’ll be 3 seconds in and then I’ll have to wait 5 mins to continue again so then I miss 5 minutes of it!.Version: 4.10.0
✓ Used to be free to useI loved reading the stories in this app, but now we have to pay to read the stories we enjoyed so much! I really would appreciate it if you made the app free to use again. I wouldn’t even mind if you used ads. Not everyone can afford a subscription, even if it is $5 a month or a week or whatever it is. If we do have to pay, then as many, many others have said, let some of the stories be free while others are locked behind the ridiculous subscription. Don’t lose all of your old customers because of money reasons. When money becomes the deciding factor for decisions, you always make terrible ones that end up only hurting you in the end..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Why so much moneyHonestly this is a really good app. I love reading the stories and they’re very entertaining. The dialogue is amazing and to be honest I wish these were actually books. But the problem is that now they make you pay $20 a month! That is too much money for a month. Also you can’t read the books without paying. There’s not even a demo book! Maybe you can take away the paying $20 a month thing and make it so some stories cost money and some stories are free. Honestly that’s a much easier and faster way to earn money then doing $20 a month. I’m disappointed because I was so excited to read the books and they look so interesting and then the screen pops up. I have no words to describe how disappointed I am. If you see this app I know it’s tempting but do not download it. It’s not worth it. Unfortunately I will be deleting this app and I recommend you do the same:(.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Worst appIts a scam to make money from ppl that are curious..Version: 3.3.0
✓ Not freeThe app claims it is free yet I’ve downloaded and can’t gain access to anything. Still stuck on a “upgrade to premium” screen.Version: 4.21.9
✓ I know they’re stories, but they’ve got unrealistic endings or expectations...I know they’re stories, but most are based on real-life experiences, and if this is the case, there’s got to be some realistic and logical circumstances, communication, etc., right? Some “horror” stories seem more satirical, and the “romance” ones have unrealistic moments to show how relationships work. For “horror:” one story was concluded the protagonist went to a bad place for “meanness.” Most of the stories are “Oh no, I can’t call 911,” “ I’ve tried, but I’ve got no signal,” or “They’ll never make it in time,” but they can somehow text in a play-by-play fashion (meaning everything they say or do is texted...everything...) without any signal errors or never try calling again for legitimate help 🤦🏻♀️ For “romance,” one story had a guy being tested via text how to find a girl that swiped his “girlfriend’s” phone without question. She used it to play out a movie like “The Game,” playing extremely hard to get with this guy. After all the gauntlets thrown at him of running around all over the city, in the end, he still wanted to go out with her??? I would’ve given up after the first time: “Why do you have her phone? Give it back! I just can’t take this seriously....Version: 4.21.4
✓ DisappointingWhy do I have to pay for the stories now? When I had gotten this app a few years ago it was free..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Homophobic.I hate this app..Version: 4.21.4
✓ A free app thats not freeAnnoying that its a "free" app but you cant even read a full story or see the pictures unless you pay? Should have it so you can read say 10 stories and then have to pay to read more or wait the hour to read more.Version: 3.3.0
✓ Do NOT downloadThis app is required to pay as soon as you open it! There is no way you can actually physically access anything unless you pay. Not even when you log in it sign up. Not even when you don’t make an account at all. Not to mention, the pricing is quite high. At least have some stories that do NOT require any payments and don’t make the viewers pay right when they open the app. Very disappointed especially that this has high ratings somehow...Version: 4.21.11
✓ Rip offYou only get to read bits of the story, then after it asks you to pay.Version: 4.19.0
✓ BruhMake it free 😐.Version: 4.21.4
✓ IrritatingIt only allows you to read one episode of every story abs u can only read for 15 minutes then you have to wait or pay money. You also miss parts of the story if you don't pay money..Version: 3.3.0
✓ Scam Likely Much?!Okay, so the reason I have this app 3 stars is because you have to pay! I get it the creator(s) ant to make some money. I get that but you could at least have included it in the description! People want to enjoy games, and be able to play them for free! The app is literally reading text messages from a computer. Your not even reading messages from real people! My point is, you shouldn’t have to pay to enjoy something that isn’t even real, something that couldn’t happen, and you shouldn’t have to pay for...A SCAM..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Worst EverTried to play the game but couldn’t get passed it asking me for money which means it is like you have to pay money to play it I couldn’t care less if I get the boring stories I don’t want to pay money, not worth installing I recommend finding another game.Version: 4.22.0
✓ 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡I saw an ad for this and I thought it seemed good but when I went in it slapped me in the face with a god damn subscription. I saw that there were in app purchases and thought that those would be for certain stories but not this bull crap.Version: 4.21.4
✓ StupidI dont understand why we are supposed to pay £5 a week to read stories. not to mention i cant imagine how many ads there would be? seeing these reviews make me feel disgusted, a fellow person in the reviews was scammed and forced to pay £5 even tho the game gives you a free trial. nice job at scamming people, wish companies weren't so money hungry..Version: 4.21.9
✓ Could be greatI could love this game, but it is hard to. My only problem is the wait and cost. Seriously 30 minutes for the rest of my story. And I would be surprised if anyone payed for the monthly or yearly, heck even the weekly. I think a good idea for this game is to have either 20 minutes of waiting time and the choice to watch an add to half that. And instead of weekly, monthly and yearly payments make it like bundles. So, for example ghost stories, 10 stories for $12 and so on. I know why they do annual payments and that is so they can get more money. I think it's BS. I know they won't take my criticism into consideration but if enough people agree with me please write out to them so they know that some of us want change and hopefully if there is enough of us they will..Version: 2.26.0
✓ This book is a scamI dont like this hook app anymore. Back when I use to have this app it was free to read and you only had to pay for the ads and the videos and pictures they send. But now you have to actually pay to read. When I saw a add about this app it gave my huge memories when I was younger so I downloaded it and found out you have to pay to read like what. Honestly I wouldn’t pay to read because that would be useless cuz i would just deleted it at one point. If I had to be honest with the app and everyone don’t download this app cause you have to pay to read and the ads are a scam and honestly they app has gone horribly bad for the past years..Version: 4.21.9
✓ Don’t get itYou have to pay for everything like what I would rather use wattpad.Version: 4.21.10
✓ Worst app everWhy do you need to pay this is just Wrong for an app that’s for free.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Good app but has issuesThis is an awesome app, I love reading the stories when I'm on my work break of if I just have nothing to do. There is one huge problem tho, I've found that the wait time says to be 30 minutes, but on multiple occasions it has taken way longer. For example I read before work, it said wait 30 minutes, worked for 5 HOURS jumped back on it to read some more and it said it still had 15 minutes. If this issue was fixed it would be a 5 star rating app..Version: 2.26.0
✓ DisappointedApp used to be free now I see you can’t read without paying … very disappointed.Version: 4.21.7
✓ Just going to stick to snapchat from now on.Like the title says: i’m sorry, but i’m just going to stick to snapchat to read these in the morning when i wake up. no offense, but i don’t want to have to spend four dollars PER WEEK that i have this. it’s kind of bizarre and quite annoying. i want to read these for enjoyment, but i have to worry about having money to last me through college. because by the time i finish maybe one or two stories, i have to pay again. that’s appalling. i find it kind of insulting that wattpad-level stories are worth this much money weekly. at least let me log in and pay when the week is over or almost over. i can’t even get into the app without having a card available. just going to stick to snapchat for my hooked stories now. ridiculous cash grab now..Version: 4.21.11
✓ Why do i have to payI was so excited to finally get this app again because i havent had it for a while but when i got the app it told me i have to pay to actually read the stories i get that the people who own the app need money but make that for something else because i dont think many people are willing to pay 5 bucks a week for an app, because im sure not. I dont recommend getting this unless you really want to pay 5 bucks a week. They need to change this..Version: 4.21.4
✓ GreedyDoesn’t let in without paying.Version: 4.21.11
✓ This App sucksThis app is really hard to use it cost money and there’s so many ads DO NOT BUY.Version: 4.21.4
✓ I don’t like itWhy do we need to pay $8:00 a week to play this a game you can only read stories that’s it and you Make us pay so much so I can’t even read one story because of how much you need to pay so I hate it so if you respond and you updated the game so we don’t need to pay so play it I will read a story and then I will make a new review.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Do not downloadIt just asks for money and you can’t browse a single book without money, if you have payed for the free trial delete the app right now..Version: 4.21.4
✓ $6.49 per week!!You only get 7 days free and then they make you pay $6.49 not per month, PER WEEK. They literally will try to drain your wallet dry. Don’t waste your time..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Trash AppMake the app need to pay for, NOT inside the app. Freeeeee.Version: 4.21.2
✓ Have to payI used to use this app all the time for free it just didn’t let you answer the calls or see the pictures you also had to wait about 15 minutes half way through in order to finish the story. I didn’t mind doing that but recently I went on the app and it wouldn’t let me in unless I payed the trial I was very disappointed as it was a good app sad it had to ruin it. I am 15 so don’t plan on paying for apps :(.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Why do I have to pay?Why do I have to pay $8 a week? That’s a hell a lot of money. So disappointed!!!.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Worst app everWorst app ever you have to pay to just watch texting stories.Version: 4.21.4
✓ BadNow I have to pay 7.00 a week to read stories it used to be free nothing is free. DO NOT GET THE APP 🤬🤬🤬.Version: 4.20.0
✓ Pay to use?A few years ago I downloaded this and loved it. The stories were really interesting and creative. I had deleted it to clear up my storage and I recently got a new phone and find out I have to pay 20 dollars a month to use this app? I mean, I understand if it was 1-5 dollars but 20 a month? That should at least be able to pay for 4 months. It’s just so expensive. 80 dollars in 4 months? That’s not a great deal. I’m probably just gonna by a knock-off app that doesn’t make you pay. Will be deleting..Version: 4.21.10
✓ WHY YOU ALWAYS LYINGOn the add it says it completely free but you have to pay guys don’t waste your time.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Stupidly high prices for everythingI used to absolutely love this app 2-3 years ago. I kept stumbling across ads and thought to myself “hey if I liked reading on this app so many years ago, maybe I would like rereading the old horror stories I loved so much.” But no, when I first opened the app it said I could pay to read. I thought it was just for exclusive stories and stuff, I tried looking for a way to exit the pop-up. Couldn’t find it so I thought maybe if it’s not too expensive I can pay for it. I looked at the price and it’s 20$ per month. I understand 5$ or so per month but 20$?! I know people need to be payed but they have ads running as well as other stuff. I’m probably going to delete this after posting this review I missed this app and now I’m just disappointed. 1 star from me..Version: 4.21.9
✓ Why do we have to pay?I loved this game when it came out but when I return to re download it I find out we have to pay to get in! I definitely do not agree with this and neither does anyone else for that matter. It would be much more wise to market like you once did with seeing the videos, pictures, and reading more past your set limit. This has made me extremely sad seeing as I don’t have the money to pay for a game that I could very well re create in real life. In the end this game is very entertaining and I used to love playing it. But as of recent I can no longer play because of an entrance fee. This is a story game, not an amusement park..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Tap RIPOFFHas anyone but me noticed that this is a deliberate cash grab off of the popularity of Tap by the people who made Wattpad? What's next, an e-book service where you have to pay for each page? Plus the advertisements look like they were made with iMovie, even stealing the text format from the app. If you want an app better, go to Tap, and stay far away from this piece of crap (P.S I am not a staff for Tap/Wattpad, just my opinion).Version: 2.26.0
✓ SeriouslyHello I have an actually tried the stories on hacked they seem good so I downloaded it but I couldn’t even get past the first page I have to pay 5.99 a month not going to happen I hope the developer this app will change that because people aren’t going to want to get your app I made the stories if they can’t even get past the first page I think at least you should do a year I have no payments and see how that goes if it goes well then i think you should keep it that way the fact that you can’t even get passed the first page without paying seriously people are going to want to delete it right away like me I hope the developer will change this.Version: 4.21.4
✓ You have to payI remember downloading this app years ago and really enjoying it because the stories where free and interesting, although you still had to pay if you wanted extra stuff but that was fine because it was still useable without paying. but today i downloaded hooked again because i just remembered years ago when i used to play, but i was greeted with a screen telling me to subscribe (which meant i had to pay money weekly to use the app). the game isn't free anymore and now you have to pay to use it! this would've been fine if it wasn't free to download, you cant use the app now! this new update is so stupid, the app was so good but now they ruined it by making it for money. don’t buy hooked, instead get another text horror game..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Don’t get itThis app was so thrilling but u needed to pay this is very disappointing.Version: 4.21.4
✓ I DO NOT RECOMMENDI do not recommend, the story’s are great and get a week free. Won’t I don’t like is when my subscription was over it still took money out of my account when I canceled the subscription as well. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.Version: 4.21.4
✓ :(It was free like awhile ago now u have to pay and if u wanna pay like 7 bucks a week then u do that but I’m not paying for it.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Well… the adds where interesting but you have to pay money.I had a steady stream of adds from this app until I decided to download it so i was really excited with the add and I thought that this app would be entertaining, but when I got onto it I saw you had to pay 8 dollars a month, it’s to expensive! It would have been more popular if you made it free, I really want to see the stories..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Scam app and homophobic afIt is a scam app it makes you pay 8$ a week! That’s a lot of money wasted! And I heard it was homophobic cause of other reviews and I don’t accept that it is homophobic and I bet the creator is also sexist 😒 (that means racist) I hope someday that App Store will let us rate things a 0 star or half a star, also if the creator IS homophobic and racist and or sexist then we all hate you AF creator….Version: 4.21.4
✓ READWhen I first started got hooked I was probably like 10 or so but a couple years later I decided to download it again and guess wut. I HAD TO PAY TO WATCH THE STORIES. I wish I could still watch it for free☹️😭. I hate it when apps do this. The game is free but you have to pay to do anything. What’s the point of making the app free then 🙄🙄🙄. If the creators see this then plz get rid of it. Probably a lot of people will delete like me. Anyways have a nice day everyone and your magnifique don’t forget that..Version: 4.21.4
✓ I’m a kidWhy does this app want me to pay so much i have been like there for 1 hour and still do not let me read the Tiffany and mom story and I can’t pay because I am a kid I can’t just steal my mom’s credit card that is robbing I want this app to not let me pay so much so rude of the app.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Do not download and here’s why.This day at the very moment I saw the ad of this app, I thought I was going to be able to read a nice horror story for free just for fun. If your expecting to relax for free and read a book, your about to download the wrong app. I read all the reviews telling me that this app is free and works perfectly fine, their all lies. I bet they are all paid to write such good reviews on this app. This app is below my expectations, I downloaded the app thinking it was just books that your read without any source of payment. I was so wrong. When I opened the tab is wouldn’t let me even browse the books on the app without signing up. So I signed up for it and I press ‘cancel’ to the payment. Then my mother walks into my room and hands me her phone asking me “what having you been buying without my consent?” Then I realised that the app had scammed my mum and I deleted it straight away. Even tho it took money from us, I still couldn’t read a book. I am very upset that such a high rated app could do such a bad thing. Very horrific app, do not download it..Version: 4.20.0
✓ Couldn’t even try…I downloaded the app because the add for it was pretty interesting but when I opened the app i had to pay to even get into the app witch I thought was ridiculous because usually I wouldn’t mind but it costs a lot and I read other reviews and they gave a 1 star 2 at most all because you have to pay. I would use the app if you didn’t have to pay but I will be deleting it because I can’t pay. I will stick with the adds and the cliff hangers like in some books..Version: 4.21.9
✓ Here’s why this app is not a good idea.First of all, this app makes you pay before you can even get into the library and if you don’t do the trial, the ads are all you have. Secondly, nowhere on the description or the ads does it say you can’t get anything for free, which, in extent, could be false advertising, although I am not knowledgeable in that area. Thirdly, although I have not experienced this first-hand, a fellow reviewer states that they started the free trial and cancelled almost immediately yet still were charged. I deeply wish the developers had more than just money on their mind and I would also like to file a complaint with App Store for not enabling us to rate 0 stars on these sorts of apps. Hoping all is well, Phoebe 12 year old girl who just wanted to read some stories.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Don’t even bother.Your app sucks. You have to pay to read stories when a year ago they were free. I hope nobody actually buys your stinky stories..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Seriously?Ok…. I was really excited to start playing this cuz I love playing story games but I have to pay? Seriously! I recommend you DON’T get this app if you DON’T want to pay! I saw the add and I loved but I did not except to pay!.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Honestly..I didn’t even know what this app was until I got a five minute ad with a pretty good story in it. It wasn’t exactly realistic but I thought it was pretty good and I wanted to finish it. So I downloaded the app.. and it tells me to pay money to actually get into the app at all. Okay now don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind paying to get into it but 20 dollars a month is kinda.. eh. But here’s the thing that confused me. You see I wouldn’t exactly have known about this but if you scroll down (and this is ridiculous because the only option we as the people reading see is the option to pay) you’ll see that there’s an option to sign in/sign up, and it doesn’t even work. And if it’s there in the first place, then why have the option to pay? Also if it doesn’t work then why just leave it there? Yeah so I may be deleting the app one way or another unless you fix this problem quick. I will compliment you on how good the ads are but at the same time that’s no excuse to trick us into paying. That is all I got..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Dont buy thisWorest app ever! So I got a new phone and downloaded this again but it said buy a subscription for 8$ hell nah dont but it you HAVE to pay find another app for horror texts.Version: 4.21.4
✓ I hate how they made that you have to pay 7$ a week like just make it that every story like an adNot free.Version: 4.21.4
✓ READ THE REVIEWSI liked the app when it was free I don’t see the difference between paying and not paying ur like ur review stars are a 3.9 take the hint and READ THE REVIEWS if u made it free trust me this game could be a high 4-5 star cause the story’s in here are rly good.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Hoots shouldn't existStop making me wait 30 minutes, I'm not paying you any money, especially not after waiting for hoots, only to have to wait for more after reading for 30 seconds.Version: 2.26.1
✓ Subscription..The subscription price is a little outrageous. There are already enough things in our lives that require subscriptions and not many people can keep up with them all when they all want to charge a fair amount to keep. $4.99 a week is quite excessive and a little absurd. That would about $20 a month for just stories. Good stories but still a bit much..Version: 4.21.9
✓ Change the app how it used to beHooked was a great app it had some addictive stories I used the app on my old phone then i got a new phone and downloaded hooked back and it said i had to pay 5$ a week for some stories for a say u had the app for a year u paid 260$ 2 hear some stories I think is a rip off they should have kept it where you just have to pay for the pictures but that’s I feel have a good day thank you for reading.Version: 4.21.4
✓ This is a lie you need to pay liarsssss do not download this app it’s for money do not trust themTrust me don’t download this app.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Waste of timeI saw the ad and the story thing seemed interesting but they did me dirty and want me to pay money.Version: 4.21.4
✓ DONT BUY FAKE REVIEWSITS A GIANT SCAM.Version: 4.21.0
✓ Used to be GreatI used to have this app maybe around 3 or 2 years ago and I used to be a complete addict because it used to be free and I was able to enjoy fictional stories for free but then, I decided to download this app again for the fun of it and maybe seeing if I could reread some stories but I go on the app and it seems now that you have to pay to actually read. 2 years ago I thought the paying to see videos and not having a wait time was pretty reasonable but not the actual stories itself. Plus the whole 4.99 per week seems a bit much just to read some fictional text message stories. Also reading the other reviews does not make your app look good when others read it so maybe take it into consideration that maybe you guys are overcharging?. Other than the whole paying situation, this app used to be amazing..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Have to payCan’t use the app at all without paying which is super annoying. But most of the positive reviews have very fake usernames so I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re fake to give the app a better rating..Version: 4.21.1
✓ Wird gameI do not like it.Version: 4.21.4
✓ Dog Water AppMakes ads of thrilling stories and when u download the damn thing it shoves their stupid merchandise right in your face making you pay. Almost as bad as sImPlY PiAnO for crying out loud..Version: 4.21.4
✓ The fact that we have to lay to use the app nowOkay so I downloaded hooked again after about five months of having deleted it and I come back to having to pay to use it... and at that five dollars?! I understand the actors may need money but what about the people who struggle for money right now? I feel like that was a bit selfish and I’m deleting hooked AND hooked TV because that was an outrageous update that just makes the creators and actors seem like money hungry tyrants... I’m done with hooked... I used to live watching the little skits and had no problem with ads or having to wait five minutes to see the other half instead of premium but what you (creator) did just makes you seem like a money hungry person.... it’s sad what the world and some people have come to now... it’s disgusting.Version: 4.21.1
✓ This is a complete scam whoever pays for it would be a shame.Does not scare at all just gets you panicked for like a second and after that you would get really bored. If your curious go on YouTube to check out what is it like..Version: 3.3.0
✓ PayYou need to pay weekly.Version: 4.21.4
✓ PaymentI had this app around 2 years ago and it was a great app. i loved it and i loved reading the horror stories with my friends! it was a very fun app back then. i downloaded it again and realized i had to pay money to actually have the app and read the stories. i feel as if the app was better before than it is now. they could have just kept the same things that they had before, like paying to see the pictures and things like that. i think it’s kinda extra to pay $5.00 to read some stories. and i know many of people can agree with me on this that they should remove the payments t read the stories. this app would have been 5 stars before, but now it’s only 2 stars because the payment ruined it. (only 2 stars because of how good this app was before the payment). consider changing the app back to how it was before..Version: 4.21.1
✓ Its not freePay to read some made up txts? its a dope idea but it's expensive for what it is, "pay to read" yeah nah.Version: 2.28.1
✓ DisappointedWhy can’t I read for free I used to have the app and I could read for free. I don’t have money to pay for them and I don’t have access to a library. I miss it being free. I am super disappointed and kinda frustrated like, you want people to use the app but a lot of people can’t afford the fees for the app. I mentioned it to my friend who I knew used the app, they have all deleted it and left bad reviews..Version: 4.21.4
✓ Absolutely terribleIf I could add 0 stars I would here is why: I just wanted to read a scary story but you have to pay for each month or just never use the app, worst service ever🤬🤬.Version: 4.21.4
