✓ Lower the amount of diamondsThe stories are really good but I miss out on so many opportunities because it costs like 20 diamonds to make a decision. I always end up choosing the simple choices and it’s not as fun. There needs to be an easier way to get diamonds cause you have to read like 20 episodes to get 20 diamonds which is a lot of episodes. You could lower the amount of diamonds needed to make decisions because it would allow the game to be more fun..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Diamond useSo far I’ve been playing choices for about 4 months. I’ve actually enjoyed the choices the company has made into the story, whether it’s a cliff hanger or a romantic scene to remember. But when it comes to particular choices there’s always a cost to it. I feel like the diamonds choice is really expensive. In that case, complete in episode you’ll receive one diamond. But in one episode you’ll use up to 20+ diamonds depending on how big the choice it. The diamond choices should be reduce to a efficient amount for everyone to play. So both the company and player is happy. I’m certainly not happy about this, big down for the company. Things you could add are daily rewards or wheel of fortune for diamonds and keys, for those who can’t afford to buy in game packages..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Still waiting for books!No royal heir 3. It says there’s one. And how royal heir book 2 ended, there needs to be one! But somehow it skipped right past it and goes to royal holiday?! Did royal heir book 3 never get added to the app? Also still waiting for more chapters for open heart book 2. I might give up on the app. Seems very silly that we can’t even complete books. All that time spent and even money spent for diamonds and choices only to have it waisted. Very disappointing.Version: 2.7.1
✓ Too expensive!!I actually love this game and got totally addicted to following more story and seeing where my choices led me. The problem is the cost! The Keys don’t bother me as much as the diamonds. If order for you to get your character to work toward their goal is to spend diamonds on premium choices...you can only earn 1 diamond per chapter but a premium choice can cost anywhere upwards to 30 diamonds for only one. So I find myself spending ridiculous amounts (which I refuse to do) or clicking through other stories and not getting as involved as I’d like to because I want to earn diamonds for the story I am most engrossed in. There needs to be a way to earn more diamonds quicker...and still have the option to buy some if you do wish to....or make the prices more fair...it’s like £5 for 20 diamonds which doesn’t necessarily even buy you 1 premium choice. It’s outrageous. This game has so much potential...people are going to lose interest if something doesn’t change..Version: 2.2.0
✓ It's sucksWhy we need to pay for diamonds and keys?? This is sooo insane. That's why candy crush will ever stay my number one game..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Good, but annoyingI really wanted to give this four stars, if not, five. The stories are great and have good plots. There’s diversity. The stories are interesting and always leave you wanting more. Updates happen often. But there’s one issue. Diamonds. (A bit of a spoiler) for example, I was playing Desire and Decorum, and unfortunately her father died. Yeah, well his funeral? I had to pay diamond to wear black clothes. For a FUNERAL. They at least could’ve given another choice of outfit that WAS black. It’s idiotic. I ended up having to wear this bright blue to a funeral. And the lowest prince for only TWENTY diamond (the least amount I’ve ever spent is twelve. And that was only ONCE. Every other time, it’s at LEAST 15, leaving you with nothing else to spend) the lowest amount of money to spend on diamonds is 1.99, aka 2 dollars. For twenty diamonds. And literally if you EVER want to make the choices you want; it’s diamonds. Too. Many. Diamond. Choices. I’ve had to stop playing games for a while till I can afford the diamond choices. Oh, and for any of this romance, adventure stuff they tell you ? Yeah, doesn’t happen unless you have diamonds. I would’ve given it a one had the stories not been entertaining. Either lower your prices to buy diamonds, lower the amount of diamonds for each choice, or take them out in all. It seriously lowers user experience and it makes the app much less enjoyable than it should be..Version: 2.3.7
✓ Boy has my obsession with this game ended.So I’ve been playing this game for a few years now and boy is it bad. While I still believe it’s the best VN game on the market (only slightly beating Fictif and The Arcana because of choices more regular schedule)the bar is pretty low- it’s not a good game. The quality of the stories have plummeted. Series that have been running for a while have been butchered *cough* Open Heart. It’s like the writers lose interest half way through and completely give up by the ending. Ever since the release of VIP it’s like the devs are just putting out barely decent content so it seems like they still care about the members who don’t pay. The last book I actually enjoyed was Queen B and that was because it was intended to be VIP before they changed their minds. I would say I’m excited for the sequel but I’m not, because I absolutely expect it to be ruined before it’s even released. In my previous review I said they listen to their audience, which was a lie. They don’t. The only redeeming quality is they have a regular update schedule and things don’t tend to deviate. And while they’re diving more in to the trashy book side, they don’t have community written trashy books and their trashy books are still 20x better than the likes of episode and chapters. Quality wise, Nix Hydra obliterates you. And they are a tiny team, so while you guys beat them scheduling wise, it’s still not that impressive..Version: 2.8.5
✓ DiamondsOverall, a very enjoyable game. I love the variety of stories there are to play and each twist in the story lines. However, I’m a little disappointed with the diamonds. I think there needs to be an improvement in this area if you want a higher rating from your reviewers. Some ideas to improve this area would be to either let the players earn more than two diamonds at the end of each chapter or drop the prices of the golden choices and outfits. Personally, I think dropping the prices of the golden choices and outfits is better as they are ridiculously high and in the first book I played I was only able to afford one outfit and nothing else for the whole book, which to me is a little disappointing. If this change were to occur in any updates that would be greatly appreciated and I would definitely rate this game higher..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Diamond Choices so expensive!So I’ve been playing choices for a couple of months and I’ve become addicted. I’m currently on Book 3 of ‘Royal Romance’ and don’t get me wrong, the story is amazing and the scenery and special moments are really good, however if you want any chance of having a good game experience, you need to have the good outfits, which cost 25 diamonds each! (There are SO many opportunities to get these outfits but you simply can not afford them) also, if you want your story to be at all romantic, you have to pay diamonds, usually you get 1 or 2 options per episode to go out on a date or whatever, and both these options cost between 15 and 35 diamonds each. Now seeing as you only get ONE DIAMOND for completing and episode (sometime you can double it with a video) this is totally unfair and shouldn’t be how the game works. Another factor about the diamonds is that when you watch the minute long videos to get the extra diamond, more often than not it says ‘something went wrong and we couldn’t add your reward (diamond) to your account. We will do this as soon as we can - it has never given me all the rewards I should’ve received. Now I do love this game and the content is addictive, however I think the diamond choices and diamonds themselves are way WAY to highly priced 😫 Ps I want to give 2.5 stars but I can’t so I will have to do 2 as it doesn’t really deserve 3 in my opinion :) x.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Great game but expensiveThe diamond costs really put a damper on how good this game is. I think that if charges for items ranged from 5-10 diamonds it would be more reasonable. And trying to incorporate a way to earn more diamonds without paying so much real money would be good. The writing is the best out of any story type app I’ve seen, unfortunately, by costing so much in game, it really steals the spotlight away from the brilliant storylines..Version: 2.2.1
✓ So much fun! But o’ so expensive :( people ask for a fix for years but no changeIf you like to read AND play games this is a really perfect game. Icing on the cake if you are a romantic at heart. ….Now here comes the draw back (for me at least). The diamond for choices are too expensive. I played an entire book with all diamond choices and it cost me a $15 subscription plus $50. That’s more than a novel cost at a book story. And if your into purchasing novelty books such as vintage or graphic novels like I do it’s still not quite this price tag( maybe 50 to 60 dollars) You cannot make the choices you really want to make or wear what you’d really want to wear if you don’t buy diamond. An easy fix would be to make the choices half of what is costs to make a choice . It’s choice is 17 - 30 diamonds when it really should be in the single digit range. I’d be adapt to spend more if I knew it was taking me farther . Alas, if I read two books and choose like I really want to choose I will be spending $75- $120 per books. It stifles the fun for me and I cannot imagine how heart breaking it is for the people who cannot spend that especially in today’s time. The game is already designed to get you heart pumping with the interactive decision and not be able to choose something because you are broke is not fun play- it’s STRESSFUL! Also this is no discount for subscribers either and I think that should be a thing ..Version: 2.8.5
✓ DisappointingI love the stories but feel that it’s completely misadvertised, only some of the choices you make on the game are actually yours, the choices that you want to make you have to pay for because you need diamonds to select those choices and of course you’re only given 2 diamonds to start off with. We’re not talking 2 or 3 diamonds here we’re talking 18 diamonds to make one choice and it’s 1.99 for 20. So to actually play the game how you want to it’s expensive. Then of course we have the issue of keys, to unlock a new stage in your story you need keys and you have to buy them too which completely ruins the excitement of the story because you get to the end of a chapter and then either have to wait for 2 hours for 1 key to be added to your account automatically or pay for a key, when I’m interested in a story I read fast and have already spent enough so for me, as engaging as the stories are I’m going to have to find something else. Bit disappointing really, maybe focus more on the people that you’re designing these apps for as opposed to what you can make out of them..Version: 2.2.0
✓ The most expensive game ever!Stir clear unless you’re willing to pay a lot to finish a story. To keep going on the story I accept the VIP offer. Turns out that only gives you 10 dimonds a day. You can get another 2 for finish a chapter and another 5 a day looking into adds. However, you do need at least 2 outfits per chapter that cost 20 - 25 each and the story path choice many times is charged too. Sometimes there is one option free another if you don’t pay the 17 dimonds you don’t go anywhere. I paid £1.99 to buy my first outfit and was told I would get to keep it in my wardrobe. That didn’t happen. Basically you have the choice of the expensive one or the worse jeans and tank top possible. And that’s it. All the other outfits vanish. I got quite far in the book as a new VIP member gets 300 dimonds free but that was gone after 6-7 chapters. I wonder how much a whole book actually cost. The design is good. Works well, if you have a hundred pounds a month for it you will enjoy. Most people I know can not afford that. I want to see if I will get my cancellation money back as it was promised if I cancel within 7 days. And I did in 24 hours. Not happy. I thought £14,50 s month was a good value, and more than my movie tv signature..Version: 2.7.1
✓ A little disappointedWould give a 5 if diamonds were easier to come by.Version: 2.4.2
✓ I’ve been playing on this app for years and I’m disappointed.I’ve had this app and have been playing all the story that have come out, I have really enjoyed myself and I’ve brought a lot of diamonds. But now I see that they have come out with a V.I.P and it’s kinda annoying, I liked this app because you could enjoy all the story even if you couldn’t afford diamonds but now we’re not allowed to play some stories without paying almost $40 a month. Which is a little bit unfair when you already had to buy diamonds to get exclusive scenes and now we have to pay to even read some of the books..Version: 2.7.2
✓ ExpensiveIt is more expensive than buying a best selling book. I’ve decided to delete it..Version: 2.5.5
✓ InappropriateInappropriate picture on the game logo. It shows people kissing naked when the app isn’t always what it is.Version: 3.0.7
✓ Not enough keys...Story's are good (so far anyway since I've only gotten through half of one BECAUSE of the amount of keys were given...) It sucks a lot. I downloaded the other app like this called "episode" because of this apps lack in keys, and ways to get keys... I should be able to watch a ad to get a key now and then or SOMETHING. Or you guys could fix the amount of time we have to wait for keys to like 10 minutes at MOST. Waiting almost two hours for ONE key is ridiculous! The only thing I like about this app more then episode is that you don't have to pay for every single thing you do and wear.. Also this app makes it possible for us to build up diamonds without actually buying them.. So we're able to get at least a few things that cost diamonds. You guys need to fix the key situation... It makes all the other awesome things on your app useless since we can't use it with no keys....Version: 2.4.2
✓ Pornography for childrenReally?!!.Version: 3.1.1
✓ So annoying!I love this game. The graphics are great. But I hate the diamonds! It is so annoying! I can’t enjoy the game as much as I should be able to because of the diamond. 30 diamond just for one choice then 26 for another?! It’s too much! Get rid of them! The prices are way too high! And almost every option you have to pay diamond for the good choices. I don’t have the money to buy diamonds. It’s so frustrating. Get rid of the diamond, tons more people will play then..Version: 2.0.3
✓ PLEASE READ THESE SUGGESTIONS TO HELP IMPROVE GAMING EXPERIENCE.I love this game and i appreciate the new updates that your guys did and i always appreciate when you guys add new content. the only thing i recommend is giving us 5 keys instead of only 2 keys. that would make me want to play more. it takes forever waiting for the keys. also if you invite facebook friends you should get keys for that and you should be able to gift your facebook friends keys just like a-lot of the other games in the app store. my next suggestion is being able to go back and reread old chapters you've already done in case you haven't played in a long time and you have forgot whats going on. also you need to make the premium choices less expensive. i mean it does takes us forever to get enough diamonds to make one premium choice. you guys need to add a choice in settings that allows us to delete all progress and start over as if we've never played before. also you guys can add achievements and give us diamonds for completing each achievement. also please add offers that we can complete to receive free diamonds. also you need to make it so that if we purchase any amount of diamonds that we will remove ads forever. the final thing i suggest is offering a subscription service that will make us a VIP members and we will have content to VIP episode and also VIP members will receive daily diamonds. there is alot of things you can add to this game to make it better such as daily log in bonuses..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Great Concept, Costly Execution.The idea of this app is great. Create your own story, through choices you make. What lets it down hugely, are the attempts to extort money from the reader at every opportunity, in order to play out your desired choices. I totalled the cost of purchases in two books and it exceeded £50! You literally pay for each page you turn. Needless to say, you wouldn’t pay that for the most popular block buster book or film. To add to this particular injustice, none of your choices are permanent. Constant wardrobe changes, that you can’t reuse/hairstyle choices. The continual purchase of diamonds, it’s outrageous. No matter how good the concept, spending that amount for an app is unjustifiable. I would suggest that the designers treat their customers with more respect! Introduce free options after spending a qualifying amount and make purchases permanent. Also work in free incentives. Shame really, as they are on to something. One last warning, parents beware! Unbeknownst to you, your child could be racking up some hefty charges! Be sure to monitor use, as there are no child friendly options to some very adult themes or locks in place to limit expenditure!!!.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Fun but horribly flawed with bad developersI’ve been playing this for a really long time it’s been fun for the most part. The thing I hated was the “premium choices”. Now the choices alone aren’t bad it’s just the fact that they’re really expensive and really hard to earn; flaw number 2. So you either have to wait a lot of days and earn by flipping through chapters in books you don’t really like or buying them, which isn’t fair. But I guess they have to make their money too. But not everyone can afford it. A couple years ago when I first started playing it was definitely out of the question. I’ve spent about 7 bucks on it so far. The third thing is the ads. They let you watch up to 3 a day (only one diamond each) and they don’t always reward you after. They said I didn’t watch it all the way through but I watched it much longer than I should have to. Now the last thing something I just recently noticed and honestly pray to god isn’t true. I think they’re making the books’ endings bad on purpose so you have to read the sequels. I just finished The Royal Romance, which I think is the first book they suggest to you when you download it, and the ending was trash. And it literally said play The Royal Romance 2 to fix it. That’s disgusting. I was only playing it to collect diamonds but not everyone playing it was and it’s not fair to them. I still like the game but too many flaws and the developers are extremely corrupt..Version: 2.8.9
✓ New update and concernsI’ve played Choices for about 2 years and it’s been one of my favorite games so far. The stories are very interesting and some books surprise me. My favorite so far is the Royal Romance and it’s a great book but the new update leaves more to be desired. At first I seems thrilled that new books are being added but then I saw that I need to pay money I order to play the stories. The new VIP books that you guys have added seem very very interesting but it’s a shame that in order to play them you have to be a VIP. Let’s be honest not everyone has the money to pay the price and quite frankly it seems a bit unfair to the people who want to play the new books. Another thing we need more interesting stories that everyone has access too. On another note some of these books are very very detailed in some scenarios and younger kids need to be aware of that. I feel like Choices should rated 17+ instead of 12+ because it explains many things throughly. It’s a great game over all but some things need to change. Also it seems very ridiculous that I need to pay a ridiculous amount of diamonds in my “choices” and I wish I were to see the whole book plays out and not worry about the diamonds. 20 diamonds seem like a lot to pay when the choice is one like 5 sentences long. I applaud the daily diamonds but they really need to lower the amount of diamonds it takes to make a choice..Version: 2.7.2
✓ Good Concept, Decent Execution.I quite liked this game. I used to play HSS and transferred across to Choices when it was first released. I absolutely loved The Crown and the Flame and Most Wanted, but I wasn't a fan of the rest. It is clear to see that more effort is put into romance, and I can understand that, but I really wanted another book of Most Wanted, particularly with the cliffhanger ending in Book One. I wanted to support the Devs. I have had great times playing this game. But I also feel slightly betrayed, because I remember the devs talking about free diamonds for watching the ads - the ones you have to watch every episode. A year on, and that still hasn't been introduced. So you still get one diamond per chapter. And each diamond decision costs about 15 diamonds minimum. You need to play a whole book to get one decision. Each time, it led up to a momentous decision, until you realise you never actually needed the choice. But if you don't make the premium choice, the text is designed to make you feel bad about it. Some of those choices are questionable anyway, particularly in "Rules of Engagement" why should you need to pay diamonds to eat the cake that is given freely to you? Devs, I am grateful to you for creating this app. I have had some fun times playing it, but the cost of decisions and the time it takes to rack up the diamonds to make it kept me from having a full experience..Version: 2.0.3
✓ HorribleAll of the best choices cost diamonds and doesn't really let you play the open story.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Gems and Waiting? But over all fun!I really like this game, the stories are usually well written, interesting and fun! However, when playing the game you quickly run into issues. First of all, there are way to many golden choices (where you have to pay gems) then necessary, often these choices are pointless and very expensive. It takes a long time to gain gems for such choices just for you to spend all of them in one go on a option that shouldn’t need to be a choice. Secondly, you can only read 2 chapters at a time due to the lack of new incoming ‘keys’ which take 3 hours to renew. This means you wait an incredibly long time to read the next chapter which can be painful. Overall, this is a good game with pretty entertaining story lines and features, however there are a few annoyances you have to deal with in the regular. These issues are easily fixable and the company should take into consideration implementing changes to counteract these problems. - Regards a customer.Version: 2.7.0
✓ Good but frustratingI really enjoy the concept of Choices. The available books are interesting and fun to play. My biggest complaint (and apparently others as well) is the diamond earning situation. The title is Choices but in reality you have no choices unless you want to spend $$$ to buy diamonds. It’s so infuriating! You only earn 1 diamond per chapter but everything costs like 17+ diamonds. There’s simply no real way to earn them fast enough. So you’re stuck with the boring FREE storyline, which is no choice at all. There needs to be a better and faster way to earn diamonds (and keys as well!!) to play. I would love to choose a diamond choice but never have enough. So give more ways to earn more diamonds and keys! Also, it might be nice to include some additional free Choices. Why can I only have 1 outfit without using diamonds?! At least give a couple free ones as well as paid ones. Same thing with other choices. Don’t just give the boring choice which won’t move the romance along or the expensive choice. Give a third free option (or SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper one), that may move the romance a little but not as much as the paid option. I gave it 3 stars because I’m still playing it and I like the potential. However I get so frustrated at the diamond situation and that I can only read 2 chapters daily usually because of lack of keys, that I almost have it only 2 stars. Some upgrades are majorly needed..Version: 2.2.1
✓ First Impression ReviewI haven’t been playing long but this is my opinion in bullet form to keep it as simple as possible . - Diamond options require too many diamonds. Considering how slow it is to get them, it is like paying gold to get the more interesting options - Keys take too long to regenerate. You can only have 2 at once and it takes around 3 hours to get another free key (assuming that at least 1 key is used)... Atleast increase the key limit or give us other ways to get keys if you are going to make us wait 3 hours to get more keys - Too many diamond options. It really isn’t a choice game if the more interesting choices cost diamonds and there aren’t enough ways to get diamonds for there to be that many diamond options and cost that much... If the options costed 1-5 diamonds then that would be more fair but the options cost 16-30 diamonds to use them - Romance stories. It is mainly romance stories, yes they have other kinds of stories but I noticed that more of them focus on relationships than anything else - A pay to choose game. If you are like me and unwilling to buy diamonds then your ability to choose your options is extremely limited. Whoever had the idea for this game should had just written novels instead - Ad stories. No story you see from their ads is here, if you are here because of the stories in the ads then expect to be disappointed since you will not see any of them. Ever . I wanted to give this app a higher rating but it received the rating it got because of what I just said here . I will still be playing because this game doesn’t spam pop up ads at me like the other ones and will save my progress, if it wasn’t for that then I would had dropped the app by now . I use to play another choice game long ago but stopped when all my progress was lost, from what I remember was that you didn’t have to pay diamonds for the options and there were other ways to get the story passes, real money options were truly optional in that game, If there was a way to restore my progress then that other choice game would be better than this.Version: 2.7.1
✓ Good game but outrageously expensive.This game preys on people with addictive personalities. Gameplay is extremely slow and certain choices are unavailable, unless you’re prepared to pay extortionate costs. In certain ‘books’, success is practically impossible unless you’re willing to purchase it. I’m currently playing a book called ‘The Royal Romance’, where the player is urged at the start of each chapter to spend their ‘diamonds’ (which cost money) on a new outfit which will open up more possibilities and aid progression. A tiny amount of diamonds are awarded on completion of each chapter, but nowhere near enough to keep up with the game’s progressional demands. It’s easy to see how manipulative this must be for impressionable players, or those with addictive personalities. The stories, compelling as they are, probably cost vulnerable people a lot of money. This game is very good and has many interesting and even enthralling stories. I haven’t put any money in, and I’d urge all users to play responsibly..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Too expensiveHi. Love ur work. But I tend to make the most logical decisions I can, and a lot (actually almost all) cost a lot of diamonds. I can get them back by watching ads, which I don’t mind as I usually have a book at hand, but you can only watch a limited number of ads. I collected a lot of the rewards, but one of them is the sign in one. Problem is, whenever I try to, it says there is a problem reaching the server. And keys are also the problem. I tried to play a game using a key but it took my key and wouldn’t let me play! We don’t get enough keys. I don’t want to pay for them, but I want more than just two. All in all, I only have two requests: check out why I can’t sign in, give us more keys when we start and make the “Golden Choices” (aka the ones that cost diamonds) cost a little less. I’m not into that much romance, and I play a lot of adventure ones, but one of them that is actually a romance story that I am interested in, costs a lot of diamonds to go out with the guy. I don’t ask for a lot of things, but this is one of the few times I have asked for help. Thanks ⚜️.Version: 2.9.2
✓ Don’t BotherThis is a scam. It’s impossible to fully complete a book without spending hundreds of dollars on gems. Theoretically you’re supposed to get a diamond upon finishing a chapter but recently even that stopped working, as has the ad reward scheme where you earn a diamond for each ad watched. The writing used to be kinda worth it, but it has taken a marked downturn recently. A waste of time and money - go buy or borrow a graphic novel instead!.Version: 2.3.8
✓ ListenA lot of people don’t want to be spending too much money on diamonds and keys. I can deal with the two keys every FOUR hours thing, and I know you’ve raised the diamonds but it’s ridiculous! The outfits, items, scenes, in one chapter I’m pretty sure at least 50 diamonds are asked for! And yes we can decline, but it doesn’t give us leverage in the books! If you want more people to play you need to be more fair. I understand you need to make money but just increase the adds and give us diamonds for it so it’ll be worth our time and yours. If you’re going to be asking for so many diamonds at least provide us with some even if it’s a daily reward thing I would just like more without buying it makes the game horrible and is one of the reasons my friends stopped playing..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Fun but expensiveAn interesting concept and the stories and choices make the game engaging however the game comes at a real cost. If you are prepared to do one chapter every three hours and not really participate in better options then yes it is free but to fully enjoy the cost is very expensive. The app has ability to earn diamonds but only at a rate of 2-3 per chapter (bonus diamond earning options often crash so apologise but no reward) on average per chapter you need between 25-60 diamonds per chapter so for those expecting a free enjoyable experience think again. I enjoyed the game and paid for the pleasure but I have since deleted as frankly I can’t justify such cost . Good luck to those who chose to continue. I also suggest to developers that character once and outfit is purchased you can use it again as buying new outfit for every occasion is just annoying. Not very realistic either..Version: 2.4.1
✓ DisappointingI totally get that app makers need to make money. So I understand that keys are limited and take a long time to refresh unless you buy them. But the diamonds that you have to buy to basically play the game are not worth it. It’s a rip off and it’s a shame that only the good decisions can be bought with them. Unless you want your character to not be friends with anyone or be nice to anyone. Then you don’t need diamonds..Version: 2.5.6
✓ No diamonds means no choicesSeemed so much fun in the beginning, but now I’m just annoyed by how few choices you really have. You’re reading and reading, and when you finally have the option to choose, there are only two options and of course the good option costs like 20 diamonds. As previous reviewers said: diamonds are really expensive, so when you don’t buy diamonds, you really have no choice at all. Too bad there aren’t more opportunities to watch commercials. I’ve switched to another similar game, which gives you way more and way better options..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Too much work for too little rewardTakes so long to build up enough diamonds to be able to make a premium choice and when I did make a premium choice it didn’t even really do much so felt like a hard earned letdown. If you redo a book to try different choices you don’t even earn another diamond to help. Would be good to at least be able to go through books you’ve completed again without needing keys if there’s no reward in doing so. It only builds up to 2 keys max so timeplay is also really restricted. Too many road blocks to make it just flat out fun. I guess the idea is to pressure you into paying so you can play and make choices, but if it doesn’t seem worth it when hanging in to build it up diamonds, and wait out keys, it’s certainly not going to seem worth it to spend real hard earned cash on it. The premium choices are just too expensive and not enough ways to earn diamonds. A lot of them also take you out of the story. Like someone offers you something for free but to accept it will cost you diamonds. This makes it feel a bit jarring..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Fix your adsI love this game but honestly the family guy ad will not work. I can’t get my free diamonds as the ad always says I never finished watching. Fix it please. It is hard enough with how expensive it is to play this game waiting for the few free diamonds is bad enough..Version: 2.5.4
✓ Addictive but expensive!This app is surprisingly addictive. This is the first time I have downloaded an app of this sort and I am pleasantly surprised. The stories are fun and engaging. A big thumbs up. HOWEVER... this app is waaayyy to expensive to use frequently. You need keys to open a new chapter in the stories and it all adds up. The keys can only be obtained if you buy them (unless you are prepared to wait for 2hrs or so for 1 key to be added to your account automatically). So you can only imagine how much money this app will cost you if you are a fast reader or addicted. In my option, this takes away from your experience in using the app. One min your engaged, loving your character/ the dilemmas, next min you can't continue unless you are prepared to keep parting with money or wait a substantial length of time. It's really frustrating! Something for the developers to try and sort out asap. I know other reviewers have issues with the cost of diamonds (which allows you more choices) as the stories unfold but I've decided not to bother with the diamonds. Cause the cost of keys + diamonds = excessively expensive! Hopefully the developers value feedback and do something about it!! But right about now I'm looking at downloading another story app which is not as expensive to run. It's unfortunate...Version: 2.0.0
✓ Not working anymore, buggyMy game has stopped working, I clicked the story I wanted and it started the ad for gardenscapes but the ad didnt play it just had a grey background with a frozen video and an install button, I waited two hours and the exit button did not appear. I then downloaded gardenscapes by clicking the install button in the ad and that did not work either. I cleared the app from my recent apps then restarted my phone, I clicked on choices and its now just a grey screen that won’t do anything, I can’t click anywhere. I hope you guys fix this soon because I really love playing this game..Version: 2.0.3
✓ No Diamonds from AdsAfter playing an episode, I watch an add to get a diamond, but after it ends, for the last 8 or so episodes I’ve played, it ALWAYS says there is a connectivity problem and won’t award me the diamond! I’ve tried with wifi and even with my data to fix any “connection” problems, but nothing has worked. I’ve lost many opportunities to gain diamonds. Not great..Version: 2.5.5
✓ Not the best...I don’t mind this game, it’s actually really good with the fact that there are awesome (maybe make the chapters longer or more chapters/books of the same story)stories to read and how u can create your own character although there aren’t much stuff to choose from which limits interest (add more features that we can choose from to make more of a character)in making the person. I also dislike the fact that you always have to have enough diamonds because everything that pops up in a story as an extra scene is required diamonds, when in the first place it’s really difficult to earn a lot of diamonds or enough. Like I said I really like the story and the setting (create different music for each story and make more settings so they’re not the same as others) of them but I do wish there were more variety to choose from, so please improve it because I know that you can make it a whole lot better and if you guys don’t mind maybe add a little bit of movement to the characters to make it more realistic. (And I would like if u can make it easier to achieve diamonds). It’d also be cool if you can make more choices, things that will really effect the rest of story as it continues, it’s better if everyone has a almost different story line based on what you choose. If u read this thank you so much!!!! 🤟🏽❤️.Version: 2.4.2
✓ Good but I still have to say goodbyeI have really enjoyed the storyline of the games. They were very fun. However I do agree with some other reviewers that it’d be nicer if your choices actually affected the overall storyline more. In saying that, the main reason I have to finish playing and delete this app is the golden choices and their cost. Being able to earn 2 gems per chapter plus 1 bonus gem (that fails and is never added about 30% of the time) means that in order to really get the most out of a chapter, players have to spend like $100. Each Gold choice is a minimum of 12 and maximum of 30. I want to enjoy the games to the max but can’t afford the exorbitantly high prices. Even if it was just a little more reasonable I could concede - all apps try to make money. But as there aren’t many ways to earn gems (via watching more ads or downloading other games etc) and the cost of choices are so high I must delete on the completion of the current book. I promised I would to not tempt myself. Because honestly it would be a waste..Version: 2.4.2
✓ DisappointmentI'm really sad because I would love to play through the High School Story chapters but I just can't play this game with the current system it has. I used to spend a bunch of money on Pixelberry each year, happily, but this game is just so unfaithful towards its fans. You need diamonds to unlock any of the interesting choices and the diamonds are really expensive. If you do buy diamonds, your best bet is to stick to one story and one story only. The title of the game itself is a lie, because without spending diamonds you don't really have any choices at all. I would happily come back to this game and other Pixelberry comics if they stopped cheating their fans out of money. Please stop, I used to love you guys....Version: 2.0.0
✓ UnfortunateThis game has two stories that I absolutely love and I’m completely obsessed with, but most choices require between 15-30 diamonds, which is unfortunate because free diamonds can’t be obtained near fast enough to unlock half of them. The diamonds are, in my opinion, obscenely expensive, it was $7 plus tax for 60 diamonds and I’m never paying it again! The game would be so much more fun if the diamond choices either were rarer or more diamonds were given, either with different opportunities or just as a larger reward for reading..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Addictive but EXPENSIVE!!Absolutely love the game but part of me wishes I’d never downloaded it as it’s so addictive & in order to play on I’ve spent a small fortune in just a few days. The cost of keys in order to unlock a new chapter isn’t too bad (5 keys for £1.99 which allows you to play 5 chapters) however the cost of diamonds is absolutely ridiculous! You get 20 diamonds for £1.99 but considering you need anywhere between 15-30 for each choice it’s SO expensive. There really needs to be a way of earning more diamonds (other than just earning one measly diamond for each chapter you complete) I could of easily spent £50+ in just a few hours play if I wanted to make all the interesting & most rewarding choices. The stories leave you wanting more, the way they are designed to do, and the graphics are great, although it would be fantastic to see some characters in action completing the choices you make rather than just talking heads & scenery. If you have an addictive personality I’d avoid or your bank balance will no longer be your friend!.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Save yourselves!!!!I have mixed feelings about this game. On one hand, it's pretty fun with an entertaining stories however all the most interesting choices are locked behind a paywall. My annoyance at this grew every time I play the game. One blatant example of this that truly bugged me was the game "Hero" where you have to pay to pimp out your secret hideout. The "free version" wasn't even a less cool version of this. It was just... nothing. Yes. Your secret hideout was an empty, abandoned clock tower. The fact is, the paywall always blocks the most interesting choices. If the story is a romance, you won't be able to spend time with your romantic interests. If it's a mystery - sorry, but some a huge part of the plot will remain unsolved because you didn't pay for it. You can earn diamonds (the currency), but you earn them at a pathetically slow rate that they mean nothing. Finishing one entire story is perhaps enough to make one paid choice. I've (stupidly) put money into this game and now feel like I can't uninstall or all my money will go to waste. But for those of you who have yet to download it, save yourselves. Don't do it..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Cant go farI just downloaded this app yesterday. I have been wanting to play this game for a while now. I like the storytelling of the game and the different books you can choose from And the different choices you get to make, But I must say if you do not get very far in this game without having to purchase more keys or more diamonds. To buy a new outfit cost at least 20 diamonds and when you want to make some of the bigger choices that leads to something better those also cost a lot of diamonds. So you will find yourself spending a lot of money on this game if you want to actually go far. I think that in order to get a new outfit or choose A bigger choice that cost diamonds that are really expensive and I don’t really think that is fair because some people can’t keep purchasing diamonds and just to take a different choice or buy a outfit. Yes you can watch ads that will only give you one dime in which I think is ridiculous. I think there should be many games or something to help you earn more diamonds and cheese and also don’t make the choices and the clothing so expensive because it will take you days just to get enough diamonds to do one thing. And some people don’t have the money like that to keep putting into a game. Just saying you should make some changes to this. Or I may just be deleting this app I love playing yet but everything cost so much and you get a little in return..Version: 2.5.5
✓ Love it! But could be better...I love this app so much, and there are so many more stories than there were a couple years back! I particularly love Open Heart, it’s had me addicted the entire time, and really hope you are thinking of releasing a third book (and more!). The best books on here are definitely the underrated ones, I found that the stories on Choices that has a lot of books (eg: The Freshman series and The Royal Romance) just weren’t as interesting. I think that there could be a few more ad options, maybe being able to get four diamonds from ads instead of three, or being able to watch a couple of ads to reduce wait time for passes. After every chapter you are meant to get an opportunity to get a gem from an ad, but sometimes the app glitches and I don’t get that opportunity; as gem choices are quite expensive I’d appreciate if that bug could be fixed (as a minimum) so i at least have a chance to receive a couple more gems. Otherwise it’s a really good app and I love it. Apologies for rating this one star. I would rate four but I found the team tends to reply, listen to and sort out the problems of the people that rate the game lower..Version: 2.8.0
✓ Fix the diamond problem!!!Now this is one of the best choice driven games I’ve played in a while, but the fact that you have to pay over 25 or more diamonds to get the result you want in a story is completely ridiculous. You shouln’t have to pay to choose the choices you wish to make in the story every time, especially if you have to waste all your saved up dimonds that you got by playing a random story you weren’t even interested in. At this rate It’ll take me months just to finish one story. One way you people can fix this is by adding a way to get diamonds faster. For example, what if when you log in the game every day you get a certain amount of diamonds that slowly increases by choosing to play every day. And when or if that streak is broken the number of diamonds you get goes down again and you have to build it up again. Also one major problem is the limited number of keys. Like C’mon give us at LEAST FIVE keys... If these problems aren’t resolved in due time Im honestly just going to keep telling the friends I know who play these kinds of games that this one is just not worth their time and effort. Because it has become enfuriating having to wait months just to get a few diamonds to pick the choice that’ll move the story in the direction that we want to take it. I hope this helps the developers fix these simple things that will honestly improve the game and make it a hundred times better, and more enjoyable. Thank you for your time. 🤗👋🏼.Version: 2.3.4
✓ Good game (imo) but that illusory feeling of choice without spending.So, I'll get right to the jist of it. I've liked what I've played so far. The stories are pretty good and entertaining (as far as I've gone in and read so far). But, the big but in the game that makes me rate it as 3*s is literally due to it feels like you have choices, but that feeling of progress feels like an illusion without dropping diamonds to unlock certain choices and also outfits. I mean sure you gain 1 diamond for everytime you comple a chapter in the story. But that doesn't really get you anywhere unless you grind for it (by the looks of things.) Also, there's also a matter of the 1 key every 2 hrs. and it's limit of 2 keys (playing free). So essentially 2 chapters every 4 hrs. due to it recharging in 1 every 2 hrs to a maximum of 2. I mean sure if you do pour in money, there's the unlimited key allocation for either a week or a month based subscription style payment. But the game overall outside of that key situation feels pretty pricey and/or grindy just to get all the choices and costumes unlocked. I mean sure it's a mobile game but Abit of fairness and leniency on the choices, diamond acquisition and costumes would be nice to make the game better. Overall, it's a good game. Specially if you're like me who's a sucker for these kinds of stories. 👍👌.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Love and hate the gameI love the stories in this game and I love playing but the reasoning for the low rating is you can't do anything you want because of how many diamonds a lot of the choices cost. There should be a better system for it or charge like $2.99 for the game and get rid of the diamond system completely because I rather pay a one time fee than waste my money on diamonds, because I refuse to pay the money for them. That is the main reason I don't recommend this game to others is no one would want to deal with it. Not only that, but the timing it takes for you to earn free keys takes so long and it will only go up to a max of two and then stop earning them until you use one you have to wait another hour and thirty mins for each of them to come back. And you blow through through the keys so fast it's upsetting. I was actually debating not playing it anymore because it's so frustrating. I have played other games that are free and you earn so many of the diamonds for free you can actually enjoy the game fully. With out wasting a dime. Last if you do use diamonds to make a choice if you decide you want to do the story again that option cost diamonds every time it doesn't save options you already paid diamonds for. Same goes with keys even if you opened a whole book already you need keys to to it again. Overall I wish they would makes changes and I bet a lot more people would download the game. It almost makes the game unenjoyable..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Good but badI love reading and I do love this app for the reading part. What I absolutely do not like is the fact that 1. You only earn keys if you are down to 1 key and it takes 2 freaking hours to earn 2 keys that’s bs and if you purchase keys you don’t even earn keys until you are back down 1 key. 2 every outfit except like 2 or 3 you have to use diamonds for which unless you purchase them are hard to save up because you only get 3 diamonds at the end of every chapter. That’s bs especially since everything clothes, choices to spend time with characters and even putting a character in their place costs diamonds. I get the app needs to make money and I’m all for it but you should give more opportunities to earn keys and diamonds. Like when we make the right choices or when we finish a chapter. 4 we have to use keys to even start a chapter but we can only earn keys when we are down to 1 key and it takes 2 hours to even earn 2 keys. This is terrible we at least earn 3 diamonds at the end of each chapter. It’s only fair to let us have a chance to earn keys as well. I only gave this app 3 stars and that’s because I love to read and the interaction. I truly only believe this app is worth 1 or 2 stars because of the lack to earn keys and diamonds. I gave it 3 because of my love of reading and the concept of being the character and interaction. Monica.Version: 2.6.5
✓ DiamondsThe game is very good and addictive however it is completely barbaric when it comes to the diamonds. I myself is reading the royal romance and it is indeed a very good book however the flaw is that to enjoy a splendid experience you have to use diamonds for each amazing experience. For each experience it varies between 15-35 diamonds and you only start off with 60. At the end of each chapter you get a diamond ( 2 if you watch an advertisement) so you can only afford these amazing experiences if you pay which me and many others among the community cannot afford the diamonds so it would be nice if you were rewarded more after each chapter (5 diamonds for chapter and 4 diamonds for an advertisement) or perhaps you got a daily reward we’re for each day you play the more diamonds you are rewarded with starting at 20 diamonds as this would help many people enjoy the game and many more people join the game so it would be nice if you kindly took my review into consideration. Kind regards, A customer that has been here for a while Xx.Version: 2.5.5
✓ Fun to play butYou must buy diamonds to unlock interesting choices, wait hours to play 1 chapter. What a rip off...Version: 2.4.2
✓ App stopped working as soon as I declined ad trackingEnjoyable app despite too-expensive in-game currency (gems). I would buy gems more often and overall spend more if the benefits such as quantity of gems were greater, or gem expenditure was lower. I have thoroughly enjoyed the stories even though sometimes the more adult descriptions in the books are ridiculous to try to keep the app PG (finding her center, hahaha!) which I understand is due to limitations on adult content in the App Store. I am extremely unhappy though that the app now wants permission from me to track me across all of my activity such as through other sites and apps which I declined, this is extremely inappropriate and a major invasion of privacy..Version: 2.7.3
✓ Too expensiveI have really enjoyed playing this game for the most part. I really enjoy the stories, they are very well written and addictive. The game is also very well animated, I enjoy the customisation of the characters but I do strongly agree with everyone else that he games is way to expensive in that every damm episode most of the fine two or three times you have diamond options which I have been able to use are very well written but I am a teenager and have no money to spend on the game meaning I have uninstalled and reinstalled this game MANY MANY times just please please please stop having some god damm many diamond choices and just let us have the same choices to follow though on love interests and wear the clothing we want I understand you need to make money but personally I would play this game as often as I could if there were not so many diamond choices please listen and read these reviews I am going though I really tough tune and this game really does help to distract me and make me happier but I just can’t play it because I simply can’t have can’t fun playing it because me nor my family could possibly afford it ..Version: 2.5.5
✓ Players bewareWhat’s the point in playing if there is a glitch every time you collect diamonds after watching ads. This has happened over 7 times. Comes up with message there is a glitch. Rubbish, there is a scam in playing this game. Players beware! They do this toward the end of finishing a book where you addiction for the game is heightened. You’ll spend weeks playing a game and then will need to pay over $3 for every 20mins of playing to finish it..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Like everyone says addictive but expensiveSo I’ve been playing this game on and off for a couple of years now. It’s a fun game the stories are interesting and the choices are fun I started this game with episodes and stuck with choices, however like everyone says the diamond prices are ridiculous you’re better off purchasing an actual book, I think it’d be better if you could just buy the book allowing you to unlock everything rather than pay for diamonds. At least that way you can cap the amount you spend, which can be ridiculously high if you’re too invested in a story. God forbid you purchase diamonds and they don’t come trough their ability to solve these issues are way too slow. Especially when you usually buy diamonds mid story. It’s a good game but know what you’re getting yourself into before you download. This game can seriously hit your wallet. Would be better if you could just pay a monthly subscription for the game rather than diamonds, I refuse to spend on diamonds.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Why is it back down to 8 ads again?I’m genuinely so so disappointed. I was so excited when there was 100 ads, it felt like I could finally play the game. Now that it’s back down to 8 I won’t be playing this game anymore, and I know many other fans share my sentiment. I thought the 100 ads was a permanent feature? It is clear that you guys don’t value your fanbase..Version: 3.0.9
✓ Interesting gameThe game is interesting and could be a lot of fun. The problem is these keys and diamonds. It takes ages to wait for more keys to be available so you can play the next chapter and slows progress too much. However, you can tolerate that. The most annoying thing is the diamonds! Making certain choices costs diamonds (usually around 20 of them) which only accumulate at 1 per chapter. I can understand some choices costing diamonds, e.g. when buying clothes, but other choices, such as who to talk to and when, also cost diamonds which is ridiculous! In the end, unless you pay real world money, you cannot make the choices you want and so the game doesn’t go the way you want it to. The game already forces you to watch ads so surely enough money is being made from that alone. I’m afraid the diamonds situation ruins the game and I’ll be deleting it. Looking at the reviews, I’m not the only one wishing that situation would change..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Frustrated!This app was my favourite, because it only ever charged you gems for an exclusive scene or a premium outfit, and the story remained the same regardless. Now with this latest ‘bodyguard’ story it seems that it’s going down the same route as every other app. Chapters take me two minutes to get through because I don’t purchase scenes, and it’s requiring us to purchase everything or our character is rude/misses out on the romance. Also the stories are becoming more cliched (baby bump? Body guard?) & are starting to only offer one or two options for LIs. This is the exact reason I stopped playing the app Chapters, and I’m so disappointed that Choices has decided to go down this route. I’ve recommended this app to people frustrated with other ‘choose your story’ apps, and now it’s become the same. This game was fun & original and now I’m just bored and frustrated at feeling ripped off. If this is a pattern with the newer stories I’m out, and I’ve played this for years. I miss the original stories, the variety of love interests, the individuality, and the ability to play a game without feeling like you’re missing an entire story because you can’t afford to be purchasing gems constantly. So yes, frustrated, but also so, so disappointed. I loved this app. I’ve spent money on this app because I wanted to support it and I felt like it deserved it..Version: 2.6.9
✓ RewardsThis issue has been happening for the past 3 weeks. Every time I watch an add, and try to claim the diamond. There’s always an error saying I didn’t watch the full add. Please fix this..Version: 2.5.4
✓ Improvement on earning diamonds, but deleted choicesI began playing this sometime after the James change, but before the Sebastian change. It was much harder to earn diamonds back then (only new chapters earned you diamonds), so the watch an ad to earn a diamond option is a much appreciated improvement. However, the ad for a diamond does not always work. Either, the pop-up doesn’t show up, or it’ll say I’ll get credited for it later (which I did not). My settings are set to show the ad for a diamond every time. I understand that the ad does not pop up after the 1st chapter since you don’t have to use a key to play, but this is occurring on the subsequent (non-1st)chapters. Also, when I went back to replay some older chapters, some of my choices (which required diamonds) are gone—I have to repurchase them! I don’t think this issue for outfits, since I still have my purchased outfits; I’m speaking of the purchased choice/scenes. I wanted to see the different scenarios/responses to the different answers I picked, but only to find out I’ll have to accumulate 30 diamonds again to play that scene. Not cool. I haven’t revisited those chapters since before the Sebastian change, but it would be nice to still revisit my prior storyline choices w/o having to save up on diamonds again. (The character of my love interest hasn’t changed when I tried to replay the storyline, so it’s not like I’m trying to replay w/ different love interests)..Version: 2.3.4
✓ I used to love this appI love this app and still do but only because of the old meaningful, interesting, and amazing stories they used to make. My favourites are: It Lives In The Woods, It Lives Beneath, and Veil Of Secrets. The storylines and depth of those stories are honestly so captivating and they could make great movies and books! But now the authors at pixel berry are trying way to hard to become like the app ‘Episode’. All they put out is cheesy, stupid romance stories with basic storylines and predictable plots. What happened to the depth? What happened to the originality? Really disappointing. Where is the variety in these new books? Not every reader enjoys corny love romance.. the ‘It Lives Anthropology’ is the best series on this app, so upsetting it isn’t being continued. Currently reading ‘Veil of Secrets’ again since it’s the only good mystery book on this app. But seriously, look at all of the content under “Romance” and compare that to the horror and mystery! Start putting out more diverse content. Also disclaimer: I literally love romance! Just not the idiotic ones pixelberry makes, very cringy! I don’t think anyone is going to read this but if you do, please make a change! For an old fan. Thank you!.Version: 2.7.1
✓ DisappointmentsI’m a firm believer of customer satisfaction, especially when it comes to my work. However, this app fails to live it to satisfactory standards. Many a time, I have been frustrated by having to choose choices under a timer when a timer should not be issued, having a short timer meaning options were unreadable forcing a panicked choice and even missing the choice you had intended for and, when it comes to optional choices through payment of diamonds, leaves to another disappointment in itself. Simple, non-critical choices are locked by payments, despite not needing to be. It feels like the company is searching for the easiest way to take absurd amounts of money from its customers, despite already having sponsorship. There are many people who cannot afford to pay for diamonds, forcing their freedom of choice out of their hands and limiting their enjoyment of the stories. Also, some stories just make me want to throw my phone by the predictability and, sometimes, stupidity of the stories I read. If I wanted a multiple choice story, I’d buy one from a book store..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Just delete the diamonds already.I love this game. Don’t get me wrong, I also do appreciate the fact you need to make a profit but you can do that through keys. I really enjoy the game the artwork is beautiful the story lines are addictive however it’s all ruined once you add the concept of diamonds in. Missing out on scenes and having characters judge yours because you don’t have enough diamonds for an outfit? It’s frustrating that such a well put together game is ruined because I for one feel like I’m missing out on half the fun in gameplay. Maybe lower the price of diamonds or add additional ways to spears them or just delete them all together it’ll draw in many more players. keep up the good work, I hope you take my review into consideration xx.Version: 2.0.0
✓ It has potentialThis game has potential if the gems weren’t so expensive or difficult to get. 25 diamonds to make a choice (to pick the better choice) and you don’t have enough! Or you can pay £1.99 for only 20 diamonds so that’s £2 for just ONE choice so if you come along to another choice that costs 20-25 diamonds you have to pay more money or wait until you’ve got enough diamonds which can take ages. I would highly suggest making it easier to gain diamonds, and lowering the price of them as well. Most players will only ever be able to pick the choices that don’t cost so we’ll never be able to find out how the stories can end if we can’t pick the other choices! I really do like this game, I’m currently playing Desire and Decorum but I’m having to pick the options that don’t cost and it’s annoying because I’d like to be able to pick the better options. Most of the time it’s 20-25 diamonds to pick the better outfit or something silly like that. Please sort this out for all of us players!.Version: 2.5.2
✓ Not 12+I installed this app thinking it can’t be too inappropriate if it’s 12 plus. however, one of the first games i see has a rating on it that said seventeen plus! and believe me, just from the first few seconds that story was definitely NOT twelve year old appropriate. i was completely grossed out. in a different story, just a normal one, there was another inappropriate bit. there was absolutely no warning, and no way to skip it. it made me feel very uncomfortable. i think if you are going to have games labelled “17+”, then your app needs to be rated 17 plus. because you rated 12+ i am giving a low review. the rest of the game is fine, i enjoy playing it sometimes. but i will be uninstalling it due to the inappropriate content..Version: 2.7.4
✓ Such a great game but...This game is so good. Really fun to play. A few improvements could be made by making the keys refill more frequently and make more of them instead of just two at one time. They also take forever to refill which is annoying cause the storylines are amazing and I only ever wait to keep going. Also maybe make the player earn more gems easier such as through watching more ads instead of just 1-3 gems at the end of each chapter. Instead maybe make it 5-10 gems per ad cause it is EXTRMELY FRUSTRATING to never have enough to get to the sections in the story that actually make the story work. One gem an episode never seems to get very far when the cost of some options are 10-25 gems per option. If this doesn't get changed there is LITERALLY NO POINT as u can't actually get to the important stuff. Other than this this is an AMAZING GAME! So much fun to play. Really addicting!! Love the royal romance storyline. Really good..Version: 2.4.1
✓ Waste of moneyWhy are choices so expensive? The choices I want to do cost so many gems. And I'm expected to pay for gems. No thanks..Version: 2.7.7
✓ The DiamondsI love this game especially when I’m bored. I also accept the fact that you have to wait for keys to see more chapters. But I would chose Story( Another game with choices and characters) because of the diamonds. I mean you have to pay to make the better choice. Or have better clothes or have more spirit. Overall this is a good game and I have a lot of fun on it but you should delete the diamonds or just make them easier to get with out having to buy them..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Good to badWas originally exciting but diamonds then became everything and the storylines fell flat. Some stories should not have had sequels after sequels and some stories that needed sequels never got theirs.Version: 2.9.1
✓ Bring back open heartOpen heart was the one if the best books on choices and it’s been like 6 months since it’s ended and you keep bringing back a bunch new stories and stories that aren’t that good. So would you please just bring back open heart already. And fix ur gem system bro that crap is fricked up like u literally can’t choose the options u want bc y’all be givin us like 5 gems and if u want to choose an option that cost gems in the books it’s like 30 gems like the highest the gems should go for an option is 15..Version: 2.7.1
✓ Daylight RobberyThe game kept popping up as recommended app, and I thought I’d give it go and see what it’s all about. At first I thought it was silly, but the concept got me hooked. I couldn’t stop playing and fell in love with the game. I’m giving a 3 star, the 3 is for the game itself, it would be 5, but I can’t bring myself to do that as each chapter requires so much of my own money in order to access the majority of the game and outfit choice, which also requires money, and if you don’t select the paid options then you’re missing out on the scenes that are crucial in the book. It’s ok to have items to “add on” at a cost, but in order to ask for users money, you need to be fair and look at having the main options as free, and any extra bonuses users won’t mind paying as they don’t feel like they’re being taking for a ride by the creators to take all their money. Rethink your structure, rethink the user experience and determine the experience you want them to have. Look at Hayday for a great example, you can play completely for free, but you’re always tempted by extras that cost money to enhance and advance in the game at a quicker or more effective rate. If you do that, I’m sure your users would be wrapped with the game and in turn, you’d make more $$ and gain more users. Be smart about YOUR choices!.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Why are the Gems so much.Great game - but the gems are ridiculously over priced and now it won’t even let me select the $2.99 or $7.49 option only the expensive ones. That’s frustrating and makes me want to delete on the spot. The gems don’t change the course of the game to much except for character moral or relationship building and no one wants to actually pay that money for outfit changes..Version: 2.3.0
✓ VIP IS A WASTEI absolutely adore this game, the scenes, the details, the stories are all just beautiful. I’ve always wanted there to be a subscription as I have found the prices for diamonds and keys disgustingly expensive! HOWEVER, £14 a month for just free keys basically, is defiantly not worth it. £14 a month is £168 a year, just to read through chapters as often as you want and receive only 10 diamonds a day?! That’s not even enough for one “choice” a day!! People are more than happy to pay for this wonderful game, but I can’t see how ANYONE would pay £20 for 250 diamonds (which btw wouldn’t even last you half a story...) Surely if you’re a VIP you should get access to all chapters, perhaps 100 diamonds daily (which is at least 4 good choices) and not have to use diamonds for the outfits? It’s just a lot of money for what you get... beautiful game, disappointing prices. You’d make more money by offering more for your deals as I’m unsubscribing next month :/.Version: 2.7.8
✓ Pay to play is getting real oldI’ve been using the app for a few years now and i’m really over the whole paying for EVERY choice that makes the book fun. don’t bother with this app. just go read an actual comic book since the “choices” in the book don’t ever affect the story anyway. the vip isn’t even worth it. 10 diamonds a day when every choice is 15+ diamonds??? what a joke. do better pixelberry. i would gladly pay a monthly fee to not have to use diamonds to make choices but y’all are too cheap to ever do that. i’m deleting this app, anyone reading this should too..Version: 2.8.9
✓ What Choices?For a game called choices there really aren’t that many to be made. And out of the few decisions you can make half of them are money grabs where you need to spend money to interact with it.... huge disappointment..Version: 2.5.4
✓ Too expensiveI like the concept of the game but the gems are too pricy for how little you would get for them. It’s not worth it as you end up with little to no choices. I’ll finish out the first story I was given but will delete the app after that. I want good value for money and you could easily spend $100 on one story which is just ridiculous..Version: 2.7.1
✓ Beating the dead horseThe stories are interesting and well written and the art is fantastic, this is definitely the best of these types of games that are out there. The only problem with it, as you may have guessed by the title, is that often times you need to spend diamonds for the “correct“ choice in the story i.e. the one that will get you the best ending. The aforementioned and diamonds are nearly impossible to get in any significant quantity without spending money, I realize that the purpose of any product is to make money, And I’m not saying remove the option to spend the money on it, what I am saying is that there should be some form to get more diamonds without spending money. Maybe five diamonds per ad as opposed to one, and a daily reward system, And perhaps most importantly lower the cost of the diamond scenes when they have around 30 and only being able to get one or two a day it’s nearly impossible to enjoy the stories without spending hard-earned actual money I’d say cut the cost of most of the time and stuff by half, 15 diamonds is a lot even if The ad amount was increased that’s still three ads, which make the game money, And two sometimes three diamond choices the story Would be 30-45 diamonds on average if you cut the price of each choice by half, still a lot, but much better than the 30 to 45 PER CHOICE. all of this being said the game is fun.........when you have enough diamonds to play it.Version: 2.5.6
✓ Book quality is awful.I’ve been playing choices since release and following PB for years before choices existed. From about 2016-2019 the books were always high quality and you could tell they had effort put in. They made books for every genre and worked hard to make each book interesting. The past couples years, though, the target audience changed. They only seem to care about middle-aged women and most books are romance/steamy. So many players who have been around for years are leaving the app because every book is bland and the same plot. Book series that were amazing have dropped so much in quality. What was once my favorite book now only focuses on one male LI, who is the ONLY white main character. I really used to enjoy this app and it makes me sad to think about what it’s become..Version: 2.8.3
✓ Fading Gem Beginning To Prioritise MoneyThis company used to be amazing, brilliant at customer support and it didn’t prioritise money. Rare right? You’d be right - as the company is becoming a shell of its former self and taking Choices with it. They no longer care about player satisfaction but instead money, shown in an overpriced, overrated VIP system at £15 per month, more and more paywalling in books and giving cherrypicked players easy opportunities to get free gems. If you’re looking to play a game that had good books, download the app. Been a fan for 3 years and I love it but it’s on a downward spiral. Don’t expect many new books that are good, currently there’s only one being updated that’s good - and there’s sequels planned for a few good books but that’s it. The books have started to get worse in quality and diversity. By all means, download it. You’ll fall in love with many perfectly brilliant characters. But you’ll run out eventually - if Pixelberry stays on this course..Version: 2.7.3
✓ I’ve had enoughI love the content in the Choices app; the characters, the relationships, the world building, the art. I’ve been hooked since day one 4.5 years ago. I’ve invested time and money. I’ve replayed my favs and written my fanfics. But I’ve had enough of the paywall. I’ve had enough of the cancelations of good content for smut nonsense. I’ve had enough of your choices not actually mattering. I’ve had enough. My heart breaks to say goodbye to Chris, Zig, Liam, Drake, Jax, Lily, Hayden, Damian, Bryce, Colt, Cal, Tyril, Mal and so many more. You’ll be in my dreams. So I’d recommend the app but with a huge warning: it will cost you..Version: 2.8.0
✓ Addicting but it will costThis game is fun and keeps you wanting more but having to wait 2 hours for a key to continue playing is not worth it. You can pay $3 to get 5 keys but it’s not worth it, you’ll might as well read the 50 grey of Shades series and get the same results for less or better yet, free from you local library. Also, if you don’t have enough diamonds to pick the perfect outfit or make the best decisions, your friends take it out on you and you lose the best fate. Perhaps make the keys and diamonds more accessible..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Yes it’s addictive but...It’s a very addictive app and I enjoy the book bloodhound series quite a bit. But the negative part is the gem and key features. I understand you have to make money, but if we have to make choices to have better experience of the chapter or take an outfit it costs quite a bit of gems. Also with the keys you only get a free key after 3 hours.. To the developers is it not possible to at least lower the amount of gems or have unlimited chapters instead of waiting for a key to finish the book? I hope you will take my thoughts into consideration, as there are others on here with same complaints too. Thanks..Version: 2.6.4
✓ Its ightI’ve played this game for years and stopped for a bit after realising how expensive it is to choose essential choices :/ most premium options are just too high. Other then that however, the stories are interesting and can’t wait to read more..Version: 2.8.7
✓ Used to be great, but now is a shadow of its former gloryChoices around launch time to about a year ago was great. They had many different types of stories you could choose from. Now, it’s just getting very typical “here’s another romance story.” There used to be plenty of interesting stories like endless summer and most wanted- it really is unfortunate that they’re unwilling to continue not only Most Wanted, but also A Courtesan of Rome. All of their best books are singular or short. I understand that one of their writers left, but if you don’t think you can do their story justice enough for a second book- doesn’t that indicate a writer quality problems with your other writers? There must be a reason why we keep getting books like Wishful Thinking, Passport to Romance and SunKissed- and its not very good. Besides that, it’s really crappy how they look story content behind diamond paywalls. I understand it for “romance scenes”- and only kind of understand it for “premium” outfits (really? We can’t get at least decent non paid outfits), but to collect clues that contribute to the storytelling? That’s really crappy for a company to do. I guess I just had a lot of faith in this app when it launched, since I was here in the beginning, and I remember how great the surviving high school and Cause of Death apps were... but it’s become obvious that choices has become a sub par cash grab from the pixelberry team..Version: 2.5.6
✓ All the male characters have too tiny headsAnd all the female characters look like they’re either slack-jawed or have beards. Truly the ugliest game of its kind. Also you have to pay to make choices so it’s essentially an ugly brick of a game..Version: 2.7.8
✓ Great game just one large issueSo far from playing this I’ve gotten pretty addicted an in LOVE basically. Don’t get me wrong I honestly really like this game (well I’m only playing elementalist right now) but there is ONE TREMENDOUS problem is the cost of these “golden choices” and the frequency of them. Why must it take 13-18 diamonds just to sped time with one character or to ask a QUESTION. It is completely unfair! Especially since we only get one or two diamonds after each chapter with the additional bonus of you watch an ad. I understand that this game probably needs money but please take it down a notch. Like less golden choices or a higher rate. I remember the first time I played it awhile back, I was so overwhelmed by how many golden choices there were after a few days of playing I deleted the app since it was such a turn off. So please do something about this, since things like this is a BIG turn off. But even with this negativity it still is a good game! And if you have the money go for it! And even if you don’t it is still a good experience so give it a go!.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Long Waits and Money Grabbing!!!The first story I started to read was Blood Bound. Great I thought, got some free gems too which were actually useful in the story as you got to go on extra adventures and get closer to people. Although this only worked for the first few as you only get extra free gems at the end of each chapter (have to use keys to unlock each chapter AND you only get One key every like 3 hours!!) you get two free gems and can watch a video to get a third. Yet each chapter requires between 16-50 gems to get extra perks or spend time with romance interests. Therefore prompting you to buy the gems. It cost 2 pounds to get a measly 20 gems! So to help you on one chapter of a 16 chapter book. It’s ridiculous. Then when you’re getting into it you have to either wait 3 hours for one more key (unlocks 1 chapter) or again spend 2 pound to unlock 5 keys - which wouldn’t even get you to the end of the book!! It’s so expensive just to be able to complete the book properly! They should reduce the costs drastically or give out more free gems/keys. So annoying and not fair at all!.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Too expensiveThe storyline is good and well written, but I refuse to spend so much money on playing a game. Each chapter asks you to purchase an outfit so you can unlock an extra story feature and each chapter asks you to pay for going on the date or improving your relationship with another character. These options cost between 15-35 and you only get 2 diamonds for completing the chapter + 1 for watching the ad so it's absolutely impossible to afford these without paying. The stories without the extra purchases seem a bit dull. If there is a 20 chapter story, it means you would need around 700 diamonds to afford all the perks and you can only earn 60 out of these. The rest comes somewhere around £55 and I am not speaking of the keys, which are extra purchase if you're not willing to wait for 3 hours to enter another chapter. I can easily see someone with addictive personality spending hundreds of pounds on this. And that is the reason why I will be deleting this app..Version: 2.7.0
✓ Extremely expensiveThis app is a waste of time because all the good/smart choices cost diamonds to unlock. Sometimes the chapter ends early if you don’t cough up. Only play this game if you have a couple hundred dollars to burn..Version: 2.7.1
✓ Only good if you’re prepared to pay $100’s of dollars of your own hard earned money.I love this game but unfortunately I will need to finish the stories I have been playing and delete the app as I find it extremely annoying that we only get 1 diamond per chapter! Most of the outfits cost 19 - 25 diamonds yet each story has about 19 chapters! So in order to unlock 1 outfit I pretty much have to either play a whole story and a half missing out on any extra gold choices in the chapters or I have to spend my own money which is very expensive for the amount of diamonds you get! The game also is geared to make the gold choices affect the whole outcome of the story! And the story will manipulate you in a way that the characters will basically say to you that without choosing the golden outfit you’re not going to get a good outcome! Literally after choosing the non-gold option will the characters say “I knew you didn’t have taste in fashion”, or “you won’t impress ... now”, the best reply you will get is “this will do I guess”. If the amount of diamonds you get per chapter were upped to 5-10 per chapter I would continue to play. In order to fully enjoy this game at the moment you would literally have to pay $100’s of dollars to get full enjoyment from it..Version: 2.3.3
✓ Ads for diamondsAfter the new update, it is very difficult to gain diamonds through watching ads as the apps continuously says 'you didn't watch the video to the end,' even though you very clearly did. You are required to tap the 'download' button to take you to the App Store but it often doesn't work, especially when the most common ad shown doesn't work. It's sort of, kind of, really, incredibly, unbelievably annoying. There's a lot of unnecessary dialogue and monologue that makes the chapters VERRYY boring..Version: 2.5.4
✓ For real?!…The germs cost to much! I can barely choose a nice outfit and all that…Plus you have to pay for keys? Nah nah nah. You game is fun but reduce the cost of the germs and keys. Thank you!.Version: 2.9.0
✓ Costs too muchFree play is not good enough.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Really good. ButI absolutely love this game. It’s heaps of fun being able to choose your own story. However while this game is heaps enjoyable and I totally recommend it. There is only one problem I have with it. And it’s pretty big. A lot of the main choices that do actually have an effect on the story are locked and the only way to unlock them is with diamonds. That wouldn’t be such a problem if the choices didn’t cost so many diamonds or if diamonds were a lot easier to come by. If you really do want to choose every single choice in the game with diamonds then that’s a lot of real money that you’re going to have to spend. And it’s such a shame because I play this daily but it isn’t fair some times Becuase I have had to make heart breaking decision in my story that I couldn’t do anything about simply because the diamonds were just not accessible. So as much as I love this game and would love to give it a more positive review. I can’t give it anymore than 3 stars just for that reason. It is something you can fix though. Maybe make some choices only accessible if you watch an add or if you can pay to unlock all of the choices that require you to spend diamonds on. But if this isn’t fixed then the game is going to keep on getting more and more frustrating.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Love this app but...To be completely honest, this game is wonderful. I love all the stories in the app. But, some choices cost diamonds. The game starts you off with about 65 diamonds and most of the choices that cost diamonds are 20 diamonds. So, if I want more, I have to either pay money for them, which I don’t have the money to do so, or watch ads for 1 diamond per ad. At that rate I have to watch 20 ads for 20 diamonds. In addition to that, you can only watch four adds within 3 hours. So if i need to watch 20 ads to get 20 diamonds, it’s gonna take me 15 hours to get them, and i don’t have that kind of free time on my hands. This app needs to add easier ways to get more diamonds or just start you off in the game with more of them. Plus, if I want to restart a chapter, I have to immediately press restart after I finish it. If I press continue so I can get more diamonds, I can’t go back to that chapter. If I spent a certain amount of diamonds on something in that chapter and press restart, it doesn’t give m back the diamonds I already spent which I don’t think is fair. This app is wonderful, but it could be much better if I have the option to have more diamonds, or the choices not to cost so much. If you are willing to spend money on in-app purchases, by all means, do so because this game is very entertaining. But I do think these are easy fixes for the app and should definitely be considered to make a better game..Version: 2.5.6
✓ GrrI love this app but i’m so angry because the dog costs 30 gems in elementalists it’s so stupid you make us spend gems at the most ridiculous times it’s kinda unfair :(.Version: 2.7.1
✓ Chapters is betterI love this and love the stories but the cons far out-weigh the cons. You have to wait TWO HOURS for one key- in chapters you only have to wait half an hour for one key. The diamonds are ridiculously expensive and if you don’t spell diamonds you miss a lot of backstory and don’t have as strong an army as some people who can afford to buy diamonds for every choice. In chapters they give you options to use diamonds but if you don’t, the choice which you would have spent diamonds on is actually addressed later on and you get the same outcome with or without diamonds, such as in Chapters, if you don’t use diamonds to sleep with someone, you will still sleep with them, just a chapter or two later, or even a couple lines later. In Choices, that doesn’t happen. A good app with good stories but the diamonds that restrict you seeing everything it has to offer is annoying. And having to wait 2 hours for one key is already enough of a reason to uninstall..Version: 2.3.7
✓ Disappointed with recent recent issuesI love this game so much but it makes it so frustrating to play with all of the reward glitches. I constantly watch ads from which I get an error telling me “the balance will attempt to be added later”. It never is. More recently I would get stuck in a loop of an ad that would tell me I stopped watching too early. Also, the 3rd reward in the daily rewards never loads. It makes the game so much less enjoyable..Version: 2.5.4
✓ Gotten Worse Over TimeThe stories are great, characters could do with better customisation and diversity, nice that they have LGBT options. However, I’ve had this game for a couple of years now, and despite all of the complaints they get about the diamond system, the most recent update has made it so you can only get 4 diamonds through daily check in, instead of 5. Really, developers? Sure, there are now other ways to get them through goals, but those are limited and you get 15 maximum (only available twice), which is the equivalent cost of maybe one choice. All of the ‘updates’ the developers are making are gradually inclining me to make sure I never give them a single penny of my money. Don’t even get me started on the price of the VIP option. For £6 worth of diamonds you can get through maybe 2 episodes, there being 15-20 episodes each book. Introduce the vip option for £5/month, or 250 diamonds for £5.99. That’s the maximum you should be charging if you actually want to make money from your users (other than ads), given your target audience are teens or young adults - typically in education, on low income, and unlikely to be able to spend £15 on the diamonds required for one book when they could purchase a real book for considerably less..Version: 2.8.0
✓ Ads!I originally gave this a five-star review because the game and its stories are just amazing. Like honestly I suggest trying out the Americas Most Eligible and the It Lives books. Completely amazing. But what ruins the fun is that if you don’t want to spend money it quickly becomes almost impossible to gain the diamonds (or gems, whatever you wanna call em) due to faulty ads. Because you get two diamonds every time you finish a chapter and possibly another four every twelve hours. But besides finishing the chapter, and one of the other four all the rest require you to sit through ads. And almost all of these ads are the Lost Island Blast Adventure. And after watching them a little pop-up will appear and say that something went wrong, error, etc and that they will try and fix the diamond balance as soon as possible and never do. I’ve lost at least twenty to thirty diamonds because of this error and it is enough to make me want to delete the app. I do recommend playing it but I just want to warn you that you’ll likely become angry at how messed up the ads are and how it’ll become impossible to get diamonds out of certain ads..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Amazing game but it needs some improvementsIts an amazing game with interesting and amazing stories, but, considering how you get two passes within the space of 4-5 hours (have to wait 2hours 30 mins per pass if I remember correctly) i think that either the passes should increase having 4 passes and having 2 passes regenerate every 2 and a half hours or just having both the current passes regenerate within two and a half hours without increasing it. I also think, that considering how you get 2-3 gems per chapter considering how the gem choices are really expensive, in order to make game play better and more enjoyable, the amount of gems you get at the end of each chapter should increase or the gem choices need to be made cheaper for players. Other than that the stories are really good, and im currently waiting to see if there will be a book two for multiple books ive read and finished. This game is still really amazing and i still would recommend it to friends..Version: 2.7.9
✓ Expensive & addictiveExpensive & addictive is great for the game developers not so great for the customers. I understand the point is to make money but something has to change to give people a chance. We can choose to watch 3 adverts for 1 gem each, while I like that the ads are optional, it would be good if there was a higher limit or even unlimited opportunities to watch an advert for a gem. I also think you should have an option to watch an advert for a key (to unlock another chapter). It’s incredibly frustrating that you can only read a story for 10-20mins & then you have to wait 24hrs to read on. I would never willingly choose to read a book for 20mins & then put it away for 24hrs. The stories are great and I’d love to read more but the only way I could really use this app the way I’d like to, is if I had the vip pass. Unlimited keys, double gems after completing a chapter, it would be fine but I don’t feel comfortable agreeing to the privacy T&Cs which state that they can the access all kinds of sensitive information on your phone. It feels way too risky for me. I was enjoying the app but I can’t afford to enjoy it properly so I have to delete it. It’s such a shame as I was getting invested in the characters..Version: 2.8.0
✓ Dont waste your timeThis game shouldnt really be called choices, you dont earn anywhere close to enough diamonds to make half the choices offered to you bring down the whole game experience, you dont earn keys to move on to the next chapters on storys that you are doing, unless you wait 2 hours at a time to earn 1 single key. Its pretty much half the choices in this app your forced to make by the app makers, unless you spend real money on fake currency for the app to make your own choices.Version: 2.3.5
✓ GreedThe game its self and the stories are great well thought out plenty of choices different paths to stories THE ONLY ISSUE with the game are the makers are greedy you only get 2 keys in total(energy to play a chapter) and they take 2 hours to regenerate 1, obvious choices that everyone would want to press cost an absurd amount of diamonds (special currency) for each chapter you get one diamond and a possibility to watch and ad every now and again to earn a diamond now ordinary this probably wouldnt be that much of an issue but the cost for special choices were you need diamonds are extremely over priced som cost 30diamonds this is just greed motivated makers wanting everyone to spend money to buy keys and diamonds: my thoughts,if they developers fix this issue by increasing the max value of keys held to say 10 and regenerate times to 1hour each and either allow more diamonds earnt per chapter or reduce the cost of special choices making it still reasonably hard to use diamonds but not nearly impossible which is what it is now it would probably be the best game app in its genre No doubt only time will tell if they listen to feedback and want the best version of the app it can be.Version: 2.3.0
✓ Quite fun to play but very flawedAs I’m sure many have said before me, diamonds and keys are the major flaw in this game. The golden choices in this game are way too expensive, costing 15 to sometimes 40 diamonds. Furthermore, the diamonds are hard to get, especially since you can only get one diamond after each chapter, and maybe a second one if you watch an ad. However, this issue was somewhat fixed when you added a new tab in the game to get diamonds by watching ads. I’m not sure if it’s just my game, but when I opened the game today, it wasn’t there! If this is just so you can milk players for more of their money, I can understand that. However! I’m sure you earn PLENTY of money from all of those ads, and it’s shouldn’t be an issue to put that tab back in the game! Another issue with this game is keys. Although I am not a hardcore player and the wait time doesn’t affect me, many other people would be stuck waiting for keys, which only has a limit of 2, at a rate of 1 key every 1.5 hours. This is completely unreasonable. There is no point in making players wait this long for keys and only for them to be stuck at 2. It would be much better if you either reduce the wait time or increase the number of keys we can have. Apart from all this, the game is pretty good with interesting stories and a wide variety of them too..Version: 2.6.4
✓ Not bad.I've been playing the crown and the flame, and will continue to play it until I have finished the series. The other genres aren't to my taste, they focus on romance and drama. They really need to add more fantasy or sci-fi stories. I found the game quite pleasing, the role playing aspect of the game is incredible. The only fault I have is if you accidentally click forward you don't have the option to go back and re-read the last speech bubble, which is kind of annoying when you are playing something like the crown and the flame. Every piece of information is vital. Another downside to the game is the keys, the gems I can understand . The game has to make money from somewhere right? But the keys you get are 2 every 2 hours, and stops at 2, unless you use them everytime you fill up which is really annoying when you're on a roll. I would at least prefer the option to watch an ad for a couple of extra keys a day. Other than that the game is ok..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Ok but...Downloaded because I was getting annoyed by the ad popping up on my Instagram... I looked at it thought it would be a good time waster and got the app. Started the first book and was enjoying it ... but though the story is good the characters often have too much to say about nothing, this makes the chapter live slow causes me to tap quicker to skip some of the dialogue. And it seems that though the app is called choices I’m not making a lot... there is not enough times the character I play gets asked to make a choice ... which brings me to another issue ... most of the story forming choices cost way too many gems (unless u buy them!) I appreciate this is a free app but when u get just one gem for finishing a chapter and most story choices cost 18+ gems it leaves u with the only real choice being the free one. And u get a key to a new chapter every 2 hours? The max must be 2 keys cos unless I go onto the game and use a key I don’t get more than 2 .... It’s addictive though ... I’m onto book 3 .....Version: 2.3.8
✓ Too much moneyI loved this game until i realized it charged you ridiculous amounts of money to even play. You don’t get any diamonds for progress, romance or friendship points and it takes forever to load chapters. Massive money grab for the developer. I refuse to pay for something trivial, I’m deleting it and finding another story app to enjoy..Version: 2.4.2
✓ Disappointing creativityI used to really enjoy this game, going back a while. However I feel like others that the gems are too expensive. And for me, perhaps more than anything else, all the stories seem to be about weddings now. It almost doesn’t matter what story you choose, by book 3 you can guarantee it’s about a wedding (Red Carpet, AME, Royal Romance, Desire and Decorum) and that’s without mentioning ones that are more likely to be based around it like Rules of Engagement. It would be good if they stuck to the original premise and not get swept up into “oh let’s make them have a wedding” as all these stories seem to have done. Things like AME and It Lives are such good ideas that can be easily reset eg a new season or a new setting (as It Lives did do) so I refuse to believe that other things such as Red Carpet needed to go the route of weddings. It’s lazy story writing and makes all the stories too similar to be enjoyable. I haven’t played a book since AME 2 finished and upon the finale of that (realising it was another wedding rather than resetting it with a new season and cast of characters), I doubt I’ll be back to play again..Version: 2.6.1
✓ The game’s amazing, the system’s flawed.Choices is awesome! I can say that wholeheartedly because I love story games that allow you to simulate specific choices and thus change the results of your story. I was an original fan of both Surviving High School and High School Story, So when I first saw Choices’ released announcement, I was so excited. It’s been, I believe, two years since I stopped playing this game and just continued about a week ago. I started to play again and I’m happy I did since the stories make me smile at every turn that comes about in the plot. Well, up until the choices where diamonds come in. I don’t spend money on apps mostly because I don’t have any of it to spend on small things. I can understand the keys and the time to get more for them but it’s absolutely ridiculous how you only get one diamond after playing a story. The minimum amount of diamonds you need for a specific choice is (to my knowledge of the few stories I’ve played) 12 diamonds. Even then, I’m being run dry. I will admit that I splurged out of anger and bought a bundle of diamonds, but it’s also extremely overcharged as compared to the average roleplaying app in similarity to Choices. I just kind of wish someone in Pixelberry would work to change the way diamonds could be given (for example: a certain amount of diamonds for logging in per day, do this task and get diamonds, get more diamonds for completing the chapter or depending on specific choices, etc.)..Version: 2.3.0
✓ Choices?It’s true that the game is addictive and has some good stories, but it is not a game about choices when you have to spend lots of money to follow some paths and to take some important decisions. The fact that you have to pay for everything ends up turning the game pretty boring and frustrating, as you can just know one part of the story. Plus, the rewards for playing a chapter are absolutely ridiculous, just a diamond per chapter? I guess it wouldn’t be profitable if you could get a lot of them and choose all the cool decisions, but it’s not fair that you can just get enough diamonds to select a good decision for your character every 16 to 30 played chapters. Also, you have to wait a lot of time (like 3-4 hours) to get keys that are needed to play the chapters, and you can just get two for free every time! So you will have to spend a big amount of money again if you want to play more than a couple of chapters a day. I’d rather pay a small amount for the game if that made all the decisions free to be chosen and all the episodes free to play or, at least, get another way to earn diamonds and keys, like watching ads (which the game is already riddled with btw) I hope the creators think about the feedback and improve the game or I will end up uninstalling it..Version: 2.2.0
✓ Diamonds are the downfall.I do love the game and the stories however hate how many diamonds you need to use for the choices especially when you only get 1 diamond after each chapter. Makes it hard to progress. 250 diamonds for about $30 is ridiculous considering that 250 diamonds will last maybe 3 chapters depending on how many diamonds the choices require. I don’t want to spend money on games like this for it to be completely gone in just a few chapters. I get completely lost in the stories and could play them all day but the cost of diamonds and lack of free ones stops me and discourages me to play anymore. Suggestion: earning diamonds throughout the chapters might be better. For instant when a relationship or career improves from our free choices we could get some diamonds. I think earning more throughout the chapters is better than just getting one at the end of each, as I would have to play 25 episodes just to get 25 diamonds to make one choice of outfit..Version: 2.2.1
✓ This game is trashThis game was a waste of my time.Version: 2.0.0
✓ I love this game but is it purely to make money?This game is my favourite game on her! I love all the stories on here and I’ve deleted and redone loaded this a lot! The only thing that’s the problem is is the diamond and the keys, every option on the story is diamonds and 20+ at that or you get stuck with the Boring stuff, you get 1 diamond over time you finish an episode and a chance to get 1 more by watching a video but that’s it? And keys you get 1 key every 4 hours do you can only do one episode every 4 hours if you don’t purchess any more keys, that’s what makes this game quite boring as you read one episode then you’ve got to wait 4 hours to read another so you actually forget what’s gone on in the episode before! And that’s a way of making people buy your keys! I love this game but please either add more free keys every four hours or do a free key every hour, and for diamonds either lower the amount of diamonds needed for an option or add more free diamonds because it just feels like you’ve made this game to make a lot of money, also to buy Dimond and keys is stupidly high!!.Version: 2.3.5
✓ Great stories however I have issues with my app updatedUpdated: just finished playing ride or die bad boy romance it felt so unfinished I BEG OF YOU to give us book 2. I’m surprised with myself how much I enjoyed this book. Very enjoyable stories. I really enjoy playing this game however sometimes I watch the free diamond videos and at the end it says I’ve ended the video too early and miss out ( I watch until it counts down and then goes to “X”). Also the “play for 30 days” reward was removed not sure why or if it’s a glitch with the game? I’ve tried updating the app. It is a great game and I’ve had plenty of laughs with some of the story lines. I did purchase the vip member ship because it’s very addictive. I just wish there was more ways to be rewarded I have made diamond and key purchases before. Can’t wait to see more adventures from the pixel berry team..Version: 2.9.5
