Fun Game, but $ Talks...Too Much. First and foremost, I want to say that this game is actually really fun. Woman or man, it’s very interesting. The storylines are interesting and the variety of stories keeps it interesting. However, there are a couple major issues. In order to complete the stories, you need passes. Once you run out of passes, it takes roughly four hours to get more which is a little excessive amount of time to wait. Not a huge deal however. Secondly, and the biggest inconvenience, you encounter several choices in these stories where you only have two choices and one will need gems in order to make that choice which would progress your character in a positive way. The other choice, which is free, will not and potentially do the opposite. The issue with this is that these choices cost upwards of 19 gems and you only get ONE gem per episode you complete unless you want to spend actual money on gems in the app. Now, since this app has minimal ads, I imagine the majority of their money comes from people buying gems and passes, but I don’t feel like it’s necessarily fair that people are almost forced to buy gems in order to make positive choices in the game even if they can’t/don’t want to spend actual money on them. I’m sure several people, including myself, would be willing to have more ads if it means we actually get more options.

Fun, but I hate some features. Let me get started by saying this game is really fun, and I enjoy the stories, and you can make your own and whatnot, but one thing I absolutely hate is the fact that some choices cost “diamonds”, I can agree that maybe some should, but I don’t want to have to pay for every single good choice, it ruins the whole story it becomes boring and unsatisfying. The only way to acquire diamonds is by buying them or earning them at the end of an episode. The “golden” choices cost diamonds, but the amount of diamonds they cost is ridiculous, ranging from like 14 to 30, which is crazy to me, I think it should be like 3-5, or maybe you could watch an ad. You don’t earn enough diamonds to be able to save up. You get 1 when you finish an episode, or you can buy barely any for a ridiculous price. So…. In conclusion I think this game is fun, and if you don’t mind spending a bunch of money to get a good result in your story, go for it I guess, but, really, truthfully, it ruins the game experience. Another thing is the tickets…. You get like 3 tickets every couple hours, the tickets allow you to play episodes, I think they should let us buy tickets using the diamonds, because I want to keep playing, but I have to wait three hours, or pay for more with real money, I also think they should give more diamonds at the end of an episode, maybe like 2, honestly this game just shows how money hungry people are.

Love episode. I’ve been playing episode since 2014 now , and there are certain features I miss with the old versions of course , like the mean girls which was ICONIC . The Demi Lovato stories too are just simply nostalgic to a lot of people . I think the gumball addition is so cute and fun ! , I love how they switch it up and it’s a new gumball theme every 2 days , and the prizes are really cute . The cottage core one is my favorite one at the moment , but I’ve won all of the outfits from the other ones too ! Adds a lot of backgrounds and more exclusive outfits to the game for your personal avatar which is really cool . Love how they added daily rewards too so if you like to play every day (like me) you get rewarded for it ! I am an episode VIP customer and love it , I feel like more people would be interested in getting VIP if you did a 3 day free trial so people can experience the luxury of no ads because I genuinely think I’ll never go back to watching those ads before reading . And pass free reading on episode official stories is GREAT for getting extra gems , and just enjoying the stories because you don’t waste passes if you are one of the people who read them strictly for gems . I think they could bring some of the old features back , like being able to write a story on mobile and stuff but other than that the new updates have been really great and I’m excited to see what’s new

Sorry for the lengthy review but…. I love love love this game so much. It makes it so easy to escape the real world. I love how I’m able to read a good story and see what’s happening in the story at the same time and the different outfits and life choices and everything are perfect. My only complaint is the money that I spend on this app. All the good choices cost so many diamonds and not only is it so many diamonds but it’s every couple of minutes that you get to chose a premium choice and it’s not fair because after buying one choice of 19 or more diamonds you don’t have enough left to buy another premium choice which results in buying more diamonds just to lose them all in one episode. This game is the best interactive story game out there and I really do love it but I hate that I’m spending about $20 for each episode. I’ve deleted this game so many times because it’s addictive and such a money waster. I won’t be downloading this game again until the prices are lowered or the rules are changed. I saw a review that said something about spending diamonds to buy tickets instead of waiting so long and it sounds like a great idea to me. I think episode is great but I don’t like spending so much money just to get a premium choice cause it’s not fair to those who want to read and choose the good choices but can’t afford to keep buying diamonds every episode.

Great app. I’ve always loved this app, and it has come so far over the last few years. One thing I have noticed though is that in all the main stories if you don’t have the money to get the coolest clothes or to do certain activities, you’re made to feel bad about it! I get that it’s a tactic to real in money but when young girls (and boys) learn this kind of thing they get subconsciously aware of their societal class and it’s almost implying that they won’t be able to get those clothes, fame, relationships, or hang out with certain people unless they have money. It’s not good! I think there should be at least some stories (that aren’t the user stories, even though those are great!) that don’t make you pay with diamonds for cool events or fashion. We’d rather watch some ads to be able to do these things, compared to spending real money on diamonds! But on a different note, they’ve got so many great stories in the User Stories section! I have literally almost read all of them. They have such talented writers on here! And in those stories you don’t have to pay for scenes, friends, or clothes, so to anyone who may want to consider getting this app, there’s a huge plus! Also they have updated the facial features and clothing on the characters to look much better and more realistic. Now they’re more varietal and very inclusive when it comes to skin tones, hairstyles and body types. I totally recommend this app if you like to read!

Pretty Good. I won’t deny it, the game’s entertaining. I find myself genuinely frustrated to have to wait 3 1/2 hours to keep playing again. I just wish the game would stop guilt tripping the player to constantly spend money so they can wear something or do an exciting action to change events in the story. It just bothers me how much manipulation is in the dialogue. The game should be happy to let you use the normal route, not trying to convince you to use your money about three times per chapter. (This applies to the story I’m playing through.) But other than that, the character design’s pretty nice, the story doesn’t seem half bad, and I do feel pretty happy playing when I’m not being asked to pay money. The storyline does seem to try to convince the player they’re supposed to be interested in one character, even if they don’t like them at all. I’ve seen multiple instances of this, but I don’t think I need to name any specifics. In summary, the game’s pretty great when it’s not trying to tell you what you should be doing. It’s truly great at the points where you have your choices to make. I think it’s pretty good, overall. I suggest it to people, but trust me, you don’t need to pay them money. The story will survive without it. If you want to spend your money, feel free, but don’t let them manipulate you too much. It’s called a “choose your story” game for a reason.

Please change the gems system. episode is a really great game for boredom as well as people getting hooked onto visual stories, but the problem comes when you have to spend gems for something and you have to buy them instead of watching ads. I would rather watch ads instead of having to buy every single time I wanted to make a premium choice. ads can get you more renovate revenue than you think and they could give the people what they want which is gems without having to pay for anything nor going through a bunch of episodes where are they basically pick the “bad choice”. I really don’t like picking the bad choice and I know that a lot of people don’t like it either and if you want to and if you want to have people play your game instead of hacking it then I suggest putting ads into the games or putting it in the offers icon to where people can watch ads for gems instead of just buying it all the time because sure get you more money but my god is it so annoying especially whenever you’re one jam away from making a choice that you really want to make but you have to pay for a bunch of unnecessary gems that you didn’t even want again rant over but still I would rather just have ads in the offer button to where we can watch ads for more gems instead of having to read four episodes of it a series that we are not very interested in

Looove the game but…. This game is absolutely amazing. It sends the reader into a separate world where they can explore different realities of themselves. But as that is all fun I do have a problem with the game. When I am reading a story and I really get into it, and then I get hit with a premium question but I don’t have enough gems to pick the choice that I’d prefer it’s honestly devastating (in my opinion) because I have basically built somewhat of an emotional connection with the story and when I have to be forced to choose a choice I know, I DON’T WANNA CHOOSE, simply because I don’t have enough gems to decide. First what I think would make the game more enjoyable for most people including myself is if you would give us a head start in the gems we have when we first get the game. Let me explain. Like if when someone first gets the game the game automatically gives the reader like 20 gems to start with, so that way they when they first start playing they don’t have to be disappointed instantly. Second. Whenever the reader gets finished with a chapter instead of getting only one gem Maybe they can get 3 or 5 gems, that way it can feel more rewarding whenever you finish an episode. These are just some of my suggestions but I truly think if the game would give us a little more freedom when it comes to the choices and gems the reader receives that it would not only make the game more enjoyable but also rewarding and exiting for the reader to experience. 😊

Personal dislikes. Over all I like the game! It’s fun, entertaining, and keeps me busy when I’m bored. But there are a few things I not a big fan of like I don’t really like that you have to work your way up to the full catalog I would see why it could be fun to do this but I think it would be better if you could just read the stories that appeal to you rather then what is provided (though all the stories are very interesting) I just feel it’s a lot of work just to be able to look at all the stories available diamonds are another thing you get one per episode and you have to pay if you want to have any more besides the little activity’s you can do the tickets limit you to maybe two or three stories per day it takes a long time to save up especially when some of the stories ask for around 39 diamonds or more just putting into account that it takes days and weeks to save up just for it to be taken away by an expensive choice so quickly and having to repeat this cycle again and again the diamonds was one of the reasons I stopped playing episode I first started when it was relatively new and at first it was fun kept me entertained I was glued to my screen but eventually I got tired of playing a story then having no diamonds after saving for so long and now a few years later I came back and do enjoy the game but these are just some things I find inefficient and I’m sure others do as well

The game has truly gotten greedy…. When I was younger I used to play this game all the time because of the stories and having access to do whatever I want I didn’t get mad at half of the time when I had to buy diamonds and stuff but it wasn’t an issue because I used to be able to watch videos for diamonds or tickets now it’s like I have to use the money to buy a full version of a game I downloaded what happened to this game? I understand that you guys need money but this is a little too much when did we ever have to pay diamonds for a full version of a experience where we could learn and be interested in stories written by other creators? This game has gotten greedy since it came out the only reason I re-downloaded it just to see how it was when I came in I was confused when I tried to get my account back from minor I am on iOS it kept saying I was logged out or logged in and logged out or logged in. The developers don’t care because they’re making money but don’t they know this is a little bit too much I miss the mean girls series and some of the old series I used to play when I was younger, but no! I can’t even have access to it because I have to do a story they force me to read because of sponsorship or promotion from somewhere this game wants money and the developers don’t care how people feel to get what they want!!

Amazing, but three complaints. This game is amazing, like the story are juicy and good, you can make your customize your episode character and make your own profile which is so cool, but I have three complaints. 1. THE DIAMONDS ARE STUPID! Each episode you complete you get just ONE diamond. ONE. And most gold questions are 14-30 diamonds. I would suggest instead of only one diamond you get two or three, now that would be a lot better and also there’s this chest thingy with 60 diamonds you can unlock but it’s 2.99 or something which is stupid to me. I would rather watch a bunch of ads other than that, and speaking of ads there annoying. 2. I know all games have them but at least how different ones! I keep seeing this one ad over and over and the app doesn’t even work so what’s the point of showing that? 🤦‍♀️ 3. After you log in for the day you get four passes which allows you to actually play the game but it’s so dumb that you only get four. Now there are some games that have an infinity number next to it meaning: you can play it as many times as possible which I like but there’s only a few story’s with them (two right now I think) I think it’s better if you get at least six passes because not all people are only reading two or only one story’s.. Please please please consider these and I’ll bump the rating to a five star. If not and the app because worse then it’s going to a two. Thank you so much for reading and have a good day 🙏

STRIKE. Hello I’ve had this app for a few years and as I played it I loved it more and more, but it has recently come to my attention how unfair episode is to the community. If you play episodes you know there is Ink and Limelight. Well in a attempt to get rid of ink authors and stories Episode has come with new guidelines. These guidelines apparently don’t apply to limelight authors but ink well we are really getting beat up with this. Some of these new rules include in fight scenes we can’t throw more than 5 punches during the duration of the whole episode, or no teacher and student relations. But it seems that one of there featured limelight stories have those relations so episode I’m afraid to tell you that your breaking your guidelines and now your going to have to change the whole plot of your story. Well at least that’s what you told one of your most popular ink authors to do! Last but not least Episode writers aren’t allowed crossovers due to copyright, even if you get the other authors permission. But episode has a Instagram post talking about a possible crossover but wait it’s only for limelight I guess. These are just a few of there new guidelines and it is killing me. The community wants Episode to listen. Listen to us I don’t even read featured stories or limelight I read ink by my favorite authors, and I’m deleting the app until episode listens to us. I hope you can finally hear us now that we aren’t playing or writing for you anymore.

Great app.. minor issue... but still amazing. First off. I love episode I have had this app since the sixth grade so that’s been what.. 5 years now. I’ve been obsessed with this app since their classic characters and I’ve never got enough. The people on here are amazing and truly have talent. I feel like episode is the perfect base for people to start and learn how to write. However recently I’ve been having this minor problem where it won’t let me get into the app. It just says error and exits me out. I’ve tried shutting of my phone and turning it back in and deleting/ re downloading the app and it still tells me this. I just wanted to put this out there for episode to see and if anyone else has this problem. But regardless this is an amazing app and I would recommend it to anyone. And if you are apart of LGBTQ+ they do have stories like that as well! And they also have stories that take place in Highschool/ college. And stories with mystical creatures and so much more. They have all sorts of genres to choose from so I’m sure whatever you like to read will be on there. It is more of a romance based app though but not all stories have that happy ending. If you’re deciding to get this app I would 100% recommend it and even if you feel like you’re not into that type of stuff. Just down load it and see how you feel. I’m sure it will change your mind on reading if you’re not a reader.

Ticket issues. I love this app to death but they make me have to wait about 2 to 3 hours just to get 4 tickets! I hate having to do that because there really good story on there and I would have to wait 3 hours for 4 more Tickets and do it again and again. Sometimes I just wanna delete the app but I don’t cus I don’t wanna loose the story’s, but it’s just hard when u have to wait 3 hours to read a good story. Why are people having to wait 3 hours for only 4 tickets, for that we should get like 18 tickets for 3 hours of a wait... the sad part is episode doesn’t even look at the bad reviews on there app! Some people have gem problems like we have to read 1 chapter to get 1 gem or we have to use like 5 gems just to get a outfit or to say a quote like”should I tell him I love him” and u gotta play like 10 gems for that but if u pick “I’m not going to say anything it will make me look weak” it’s free but it’s messing our story up! Episode should really change! People are hating the app for stupid stuff so much that hundreds of people are deleting the app everyday. I have been here since the first month it was out and this has away been a issue that they have never fixed! Episode please do this for us and fix the app if your gonna give us 4 tickets make us wait like 5 min for them instead of making us wait 3 hours......

I love this so much...but the diamonds. Episode has its ups and downs yes, but it’s a fabulous app for all kinds of stories and fiction! I don’t read a lot, and this is my source for literature! It’s like a moving comic book to me. Most of the stories on there are super fun and interesting, sometimes getting me all riled up. The only unfortunate thing I would say is how expensive some of the golden choices are in the front page stories. 40 diamonds at most! I only get 1 diamond per episode read, that is crazy! It takes me forever to even save up 20 diamonds. I get it you want us to spend money on you, but come on, one diamond per episode?...help a person out here. I’ve even stopped reading most of the front page stories because of this, and began reading the lesser known stories, which are much better in my opinion anyway. But also, those smaller stories don’t give you any diamonds for reading them.. so after I read a bunch of small stories and go to a bigger one, I have little to no diamonds to spend on the golden choices. Now, I’ve learned to get over it, mostly because it’s not like the golden choices really effect the outcome of your story anyways. Most choices in the stories really don’t. I say to any new readers, the lesser known stories are extremely fun and heartwarming! Give them a try they are the best ones.

love it but it needs help. I love episode and I like the idea of being able to read and have fun at the same time. My two problems are the two problems i’ve seen the most according to the other ratings as well. The diamonds and tickets. The ticket is the most aggravating thing, and I understand that’s how they make their money but only 2 tickets every 3 hours? That is very unfair compared to the 10 minutes I have reading the actual episode. And only if I read one episode and use one ticket in one sitting, the clock doesn’t start till all the tickets are gone! So the next time i’m excited to read I only have one ticket then have to wait more than 3 hours for 2 tickets. And I don’t have money I can spend on a game to but more of the app that should already be there then I get so aggravated that I just delete after all and how is that good for your ratings? Also the diamonds. The diamonds change the whole story and of course that’s the path i want to go down but i cant because i don’t have enough diamonds then it just ruins the whole story (that’s why i like the story’s that don’t have diamonds). And the last thing is the outfits! cmon guys if i’m going to a ball room dance and only have my pajamas to wear? and the other option it 29 diamonds!! that would equal 29 story’s worth of diamonds for just one little part of the story and the next thing you know you didn’t inpress the queen cause you couldn’t wear the dress. Anyways if anyone reads this i appreciate the rant😌

Great but kind of annoying. This is a great game. It has lots of good stories, it is just really hard to earn keys to actually play the game. I know it is all about the money and you have to pay to play, but it just makes it less fun and more people would enjoy it if wasn’t so hard to get what you need to actually play. Isn’t making your players happy more important than getting the most money? You could still have some things cost money so you are making a profit, like paying for no adds or paying for a very large quantity of diamonds or passes. But the passes themselves should be easily earned or at least regenerate over a reasonable amount of time not 1 or 2 hours for each pass, that is ridiculous. And one more thing. Some of the choices cost diamonds. This is a huge pain since diamonds are also hard to earn. Again, really with the money grab? They should at least cost 2-5 diamonds depending on the choice. Because if they cost so many diamonds, I usually end up not getting to choose the choice or look that I would have picked, so the game is really not as free flowing as you think it is. Half of the divisions are made for you since you can’t afford them, that is the worst part of the game i think. If you made it this far, thanks for reading, I hope this helps you decide to download (or not download) this game. And to the developer, maybe at least consider making some of the changes? Thanks!

Kinda good overall.. I wish that they would give readers more tickets or at least have to not wait as long for a refill. Also I have a huge issue with the whole gem situation. I’m currently doing a story that I would love to make some fun and flirty choices but I am unable due to not having enough gems. I wanted to make a choice to find out what someone was thinking about a situation but I would’ve had to use THIRTY-FIVE GEMS! That’s insane! I only have five because I just redownloaded the game and I can’t make any good decisions. My stories are going no where due to me not having enough gems. I personally think they should give readers/players like maybe 60 gems to start off with but even that will only give you about two choices. Another option is reducing the amount choices cost. I saw another review that said maybe limit the cost to 10 gems. I think that’s very reasonable, but it still has it’s cons. Players can save up gems and make more choices at a smaller price, but they also have to wait a LONG time to get this amount and by the time they get enough gems, the choice is long gone and they have to restart their story. My last solution is to give readers/players more gems per episode. Maybe they should earn 5-7 gems instead of one so that way they can make more choices and be more involved in their stories. Other than those issues I think this is a great game with great and very creative stories.

I am a fan. Firstly, I like to say this is the best Episode reading app, the others don’t compare. I read different Episodes from others apps I download, it’s only words💁no movement. Only problem I have some Authors rub you the wrong way! Some Authors that doesn’t allow customizing only use their race, there is no ethic groups… stories are good, change it up once in while. Another issue I have Authors, if there is two love interest, Author either pull their story base on fan base, or if the Author has specific character they like the story goes in the way they chooses. But on good note their are some good Authors take their work very seriously. Another thing I forgot to add, buying gems, it’s gotten very expensive now we have to pay the Authors just to read story ahead time, gems customization, gems for clothing, gems choosing who we end up with, gems keep the story going. Episode has gotten very very expensive. That’s not including passes as well keep up to date with our favorite stories, fun out passes you are basically screwed…. I don’t know why I have been reader since 2018; I don’t have VIP, why I don’t know. I did have the 30 days unlimited passes for 9.99 that’s ended. It’s like I am not valued as faithful fan. Episode I hate this Shard task I have now just to get gems in exchange. Why don’t I have VIP. Tired of waiting read what I want, tired of adds. For that I took away star,

This is so silly. Even though there are like millions of reviews and no one will see this one I thought it would be fun to write. Honestly I just got this app and it’s super fun! I don’t really like how if you want a good option you have to spend money.. i’m a cheapskate LOL so I haven’t spent a penny on this game no matter how tempting. It makes me laugh because of how much this game will pressure you to spend money, i’m not even mad it’s hilarious. They will straight up be like: You can wear this STUNNINGGG beautiful gorgeous breathtaking amazing dress and wow everyone else and win your life savings for 29 diamonds 💙💗💙💙 OR you can wear that garbage bag of a dress i wouldn’t be caught dead in with stains all over that will make everyone else faint from horror for free.. 💀 and then when i pick the free option sometimes they will even second guess me like ARE U SURE UR PICKING THAT 🚨🚨 everyone side eyes me so hard and judges me and im like sorry bro i don’t have free will in this app 💀 but i just really like playing because it’s so silly and i love the emojis they put when an option has the smirking emoji if always makes me laugh and that’s all i have to say if ur bored play this app it’s funny and just so u know it will be okay if you don’t spend money you will be judged but it won’t affect the story drastically or anything

I mean I guess. It’s a great game honestly however it’s still got the same issues that made me delete it a year ago. The diamonds concept is stupid you can’t do certain parts of the story without diamonds but you’re expected to earn diamonds by completing chapters which you can only do 4 times at most every three hours. Yea that really motivates me to play.🤡 you miss out on so many things in the Beginning chapters bc you just started and there definitely ain’t no bonus diamonds you get the first option of every story free but that doesn’t do much when there’s 12 different choices that all take diamonds in different scenarios and if you don’t have $10 or more to put into a new app don’t expect to get far. The game has potential I used to love it before they made all these changes to it but as it sits in my opinion it’s just blatantly annoying. It’s got potential to be one of the top games on the market if they actually listen to their users and care about something other than stuffing their own money hungry pockets. Y’all have irritated and disappointed nearly every previous user of episode and you still refuse to turn any eye to the matter? Won’t be using this again until changes are figured out and better solutions are found I’m not playing a game to stuff your pockets it’s a waste of my time and I’d enjoy reading a plain book so much more I don’t mind missing out on the experience episode offers.

It’s good but..... The game is really good but I’ve seen some issues that I have and some that other people may have the first is the passes issue I’m not getting mad I don’t really like that you have to wait hours just to get three passes sometimes I don’t even get three I get two I was thinking maybe watching adds to get more passe. 2 gems I know that you have to pay or watch episodes for gems but I was thinking maybe just giving more than just one an episode maybe like ten or five. 3 choices when I do an episode like Cameron dalles or pitch perfect I sometimes run into choices that require 20 gems I certenly do not like that I think that no choices should give gems and I understand that the choices are pretty big like you get a cool dress but I still don’t think choices should require gems it’s just unnecessary and I think you should take that out and lastly I don’t think this happens to evreyone but every time I try to make a a episode of my own it dosent let me it says story has eneded would you like to create and it doesn’t let me create that started about a week ago and last every time before that happened I finessed my episode series it wouldn’t let me post it to real and i got mad cause I worked really hard on it so those are some things I think you should fix but otherwise I really love the app and think it’s amazing

Episode. I really like Episode I’ve played it off and on for a couple of years now. I just recently downloaded it a couple weeks ago since a year ago. The first thing I noticed was the new stories that seem really good. I also know that there has been a lot of changes and I’m not so happy about it. First off you have too many choices that I have to spend diamonds on. I don’t remember having to spend money to make a good choice. I get it y’all have to make your money but not with ALL the choices. I shouldn’t have to use diamonds to make a decision on a change of clothes. I can’t change into nothing different with out having to use diamonds and that’s not fare at all for the reader. Make the game a little more useful for us than you and stop being so money hungry he’ll we all got to eat and I’m not about to keep spending my money on no games that I might not keep that long. So I feel like y’all could at least make it a little more interesting and fun because this is not it. You all are wrong for this and the tickets take too long to refresh. I use to be able to read for hours because my tickets would renew while I read now it don’t start until the chapter of the last ticket ends. THIS GAME HAS OFFICIALLY IRRITATED ME change it back the way it was. Like I said before my rant. I love the new stories I’m glad I don’t have to keep seeing the Pretty Littler Liars, and Mean Girls anymore. Just make it a little more fun to read instead of braking the bank for diamonds and tickets.

Pros and Cons. I like Episode, but there are a lot of faults. First off, a lot of the stories only have choices that cost gems. For example, Protect Me (Always) had not a SINGLE choice that didn’t cost gems. Also, I think the rewards for reading an entire story should be more than 1 gem. Finishing a story should be at least three or four gems. I appreciated how in the Demi Lovato story you could earn gems in the actual gameplay, which made it much more appealing to me. Also, many of the stories have inappropriate material, and a majority of users are children, but I do appreciate the addition of warnings about content. I have seen many reviews about passes, but that doesn’t bother me too much, but maybe as time goes on, you can earn more than 4 passes as added incentive to continue playing. That being said, there are definitely some perks to episode. I think that many of the stories are beautifully written and they compel me to keep reading. Most of them portray real life problems and issues but I still feel they are captivating. I definitely appreciate how most of the stories if not all are LGBTQ plus friendly. Also I think the aspect of designing your own character’s appearance and deciding a name is super fun and useful, end it lets the reader feel in control, as well as doesn’t give the opportunity to discriminate between races or anything. Overall, although there are so many things I would change about episode, this is definitely a game worth keeping!

Love This Game But....... About two years ago, I installed this app and FELL IN LOVE with it❤️I would ALWAYS play it, but an issue had begun and I had to delete it. Last week I re-installed the app because I missed the stories. When it finished downloading and I started reading, I noticed that after the 3 tickets it gave me, I had to wait 20 minutes to play AGAIN. Which kinda surprised me because the last time that I had played the game *2 yrs ago* I could watch an ad, gain a ticket, and easily start playing again. But since nothing ever stays the same, I accepted the fact and waited the 20 mins. Today I went to play again, wasted my 3 tickets and it told me that I had to wait 3 HOURS. Now I understand 20 minutes but to wait 3 HOURS FOR 3 TICKETS IS KINDA STUPID. People are more likely to stop using the app because nobody spends money on a game, and waiting 3 hours doesn't make sense. I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if you could find another way for us readers to gain tickets. For example , if the reader were to finish reading ,“Watch This Ad For A Free Ticket” and instead of making the person wait, have them watch an ad and start playing again. That will benefit both you, the creator, and us, the readers. I would really love that. I really do like this game but I disagree with having to wait more than 20 minutes on end. I hope you take this into consideration. Have a good day❤️

Passes and Time. I love the interactive stories this has to offer and their plots are intriguing as well. However it not only takes forever to get passes but the timer on it is glitchy. For example, just now I went back to the app around 6 o’clock 6:30pm and it is currently 9pm. I used the rest of my four passes before 7 and it showed 3 and a half hours left but when I just checked it was telling me I still had to wait for 2 and a half hours instead of one and a half. That’s an hours extra wait time. Players shouldn’t have to use all four passes in order to reset the timer to earn more. It should be an hour or even half an hour for each pass with the option to watch ads (limited number per day) in order to earn more. Additionally players should be able to watch ads and earn gems, even if it’s just two or three at a time because we want to be able to play the game fully. Also for whatever reason I feel super guilty when I don’t do the premium option but that could just be my anxiety and lack of friends in the real world. Anyways the timer can be super glitchy and needs to be fixed as well as the opportunity to earn passes or just have a shorter waiting period. The pass timer being glitchy and awful has happened to me before on multiple occasions and I would like that to be fixed. The lack of ways to obtain extra passes and the unearned wait time really sets what otherwise is a really fun break, back two stars.

AMAZING. Dear,whoever made this game:) OK so in this review I will be telling you all of the good things about this game. None of the bad things about this game. So this game is really great and I really appreciate the developers and yeah, so this game has a lot of stuff and okay I will be telling you one of the bad things I just barely downloaded this game and I read a review just very that said if you play it for a long time you won’t have to wait three hours to get your tickets back so you can play the game and I had to wait three hours for one I don’t know well I haven’t stop having to wait three hours I really appreciate this game and that’s why I’m kinda disappointed about this. Sorry that was a really long sentence. Ok here we go OK here we go I said that’s what is sorry I know this is it really bad or you OK if we talk about the good things then one of the things is that the characters are honestly to me it look like real people like the way you rock the waiting room and like the way that they kind of like I don’t know like what kind of talk there like talking like a real person moving like a real person and it’s just kind of like honestly if I were to be like a Real person in one of those characters I am are you a joke I would not know how to do this I honestly do not act like that but yeah there’s a lot of things that are really good about this game OK will thanks for making the game I guess:) Love, Makynli

Like it/don’t like it. Don’t get me wrong, great game! The stories are all nicely hard worked on, and detailed. But then it comes to hatred! Seriously, I know this isn’t real life but...would you have to pay diamonds to wear something nice that you already have in your closet! No! At least have a source of some sort to earn them, instead of waiting a day to only earn like 1. I understand you want to make money off of your game, but this is to much! Those people who are insanely rich probably don’t have a problem, but I’m sure those people who don’t have iTunes money and stuff are sick of having to wait a whole day for diamonds and 3-4 hours for only 3-4 tickets! Really, in all honesty I would actually watch like 17 ads to get a few diamonds and tickets rather than waiting a day, and 3-4 hours. It’s true. I just want to watch my story without waiting a whole 3-4 hours. Also the diamonds is just outrageous. How would you feel, in real life, there’s a nice dress/suit in your closet. Would you straight out pay 20 diamonds when it’s already in your closet. Or would you just stick to a old, ugly outfit? I’m so tired of this, it honestly wants to make me delete the game from stress of diamonds! Who knew a diamond could make you stressed? Yes! I am STRESSED! So please fix this or this game goes in the trash for me! Not trying to be rude but it seems it’s the only way I can make my point! So for random review readers..if your about to download the app just know what’s coming your way!

Tickets and Gems. Sadly I’m only putting 2 stars not because of the story’s themselves but because of what you have to do just to read another story. Like it’s not ok that you only get two tickets when the story has like 3 characters each, and when you run out of tickets you have to wait hours just to get two more. Honestly if there were 5 maybe even 6 tickets we wouldn’t have to wait so long just to see another story,and even though I like the cliffhangers I want to be able to make a choice if I want a cliffhanger or not, like if I want to continue reading or not. Also another thing is that it’s annoying that you only get one gem every time you finish a story, and I say that’s unfair because if you want to make a good choices in the game you have to almost set yourself up for failure because you don’t have enough gems so I think if we were given at least 8 maybe 10 gems when we finish a chapter of a story we would not have to wait so long before your able to make good decisions. Also one more thing if you don’t put the (make a good decision gems) so high because with it being so high and not getting enough gems you have to pick a choice that you never wanted to pick and possibly not have the best story. So if you could lower the good decision gem amount not so high so that if your a beginner you can still enjoy making good ones and ones that are unexpected. So that you. But other then that it has good story’s so far.

BRING BACK OLD EPISODE PLIS :,). i really do love this game but a lot of things have changed with the prices and the ways to earn gems & passes without having to pay i don’t know why you guys decided to remove the daily prize thing were you could earn passes or diamonds after certain days and earning extra passes after reading 4 chapters of a story it’s sad plus the vip subscription is very expensive $15 for only a month seems overpriced & even buying gems & passes alone are overpriced also the episode official stories are honestly interesting and i would like to read them but the choices in chapters of getting to pick better options/actions and better looking options is so expensive you guys charge so many diamonds for one single outfit change i’m pretty sure i’ve seen ones that cost up to 50 gems just for a pretty looking outfit it would be better if you were to decrease the amount of diamonds for these choices the episode official stories would probably even get more reads than the community stories if it were to be like that either way for now i’m sticking to community stories they’re really good to read and have better story plots and choices than the episode official ones and choices are free it also seems u fair how in order for authors to get their stories to be popular the readers must donate gems for this to happen even though the author gets millions of reads and positive feedback that’s not enough anymore

Review from someone who’s been playing for years. Over the years, I’ve seen many methods invented by the developers to for lack of a better term “better” Episode. The concept of the game and how it works isn’t the problem. However I (and multiple other people) have a problem with the system the game uses to function. I understand that these games probably take a lot of money to run but having ads after every chapter of every story seems extremely desperate. Additionally, the ads don’t give you anything beside access to the chapter and many of the official games require a LOT of diamonds to make choices the story “favors” you make. Also, I hate how the “Episode VIP” pass offers barely the minimum for the game while being $15, I know it’s your choice to spend the money but $15 a month is a lot and in many places the minimum wage is under $14. AND, I don’t know if this is just for me but after a few chapters I get a message saying “The chapter will be released in a few hours…” which is so frustrating especially when I have tickets left, the tickets don’t go over the number of 4 unless you purchase them/get them from the daily streak it ruins the experience for me and makes it very frustrating. I also see many people talk about how the game is inappropriate but that is how the game is advertised. But in essence, episode is not a bad game, it’s just very frustrating with the credit system they have right now.

Not just me. Episode is great, don’t get me wrong. I honestly love it so much and I play episode almost every day. But the passes and gem situation is very frustrating. You have so many downloads, and you guys probably want to keep it that way. So if I were you, I would try putting yourself in a different position and ask, “Would I be frustrated if I waited 4 hours to get 2 passes?” I definitely would be. 2 measly passes after waiting for 4 hours! That’s insane. Now I need to point out one thing though, they do give 4 passes every 4 hours of you continuously play episode. that seems a bit more reasonable. As I said I love episode, but maybe change it to 4 passes in 4 hours all the time, not just if u play episode a lot. Some people can be very inpatient and might just delete the app as soon as they see how long you need to wait. Also, maybe consider a thing where you can watch ads in order to get a pass?! please consider. One last thing. Some stories actually have tons of choices to choose! There’s the rlly bad choice you have to choose, or the really good choice. But you don’t really get to choose the one you want unless you have TONS of gems. And I mean TONS. Especially the pretty little liars. I honestly love it sm. But srsly? Almost 40 gems just to choose a good choice?! It makes me furious. Maybe have a limit for authors for about 10 gems per choice.

Great app but needs some adjustments. Okay, so when im saying this im saying this for everyone I’m not the only who’s mad about the diamond pricing? The major issue in this game is just diamonds i understand it gives u a free diamond when u finish a story but it’s just 1 and the choices cost 19 diamonds or more and some people can’t afford these diamonds even if the price is set low im not saying you should change the choices of option to a lower price im just saying to fund a solution to the diamond like finding a way to get diamonds easier maybe like a daily log in or a special event every so often so mire people could enjoy this game without spending money I’d think this could really boost the game if you make getting diamonds much easier and most of the complaints and ratings are mostly because of the diamond issue we understand you need the money for the game, but maybe fix some issues like the diamonds first if you do that it could really boost the game and you would be earning a lot more money. If the developers see this please make the issues solved or find a solution, like i said you could add special events for diamonds, a daily log in, make the diamond price higher when you finish a story LIke getting 5 diamonds instead of 1, or even watch an add for diamonds these wouldn’t be such bad ideas hopefully you take this review to mind and deal with the issues thats been told.

Stories by Episode are insufferable due to gem price. I absolutely love the user stories, there are no premium options and the story actually goes how you want it to. I have seen so many reviews on how annoying the premium options can be on stories created by Episode. It's very true and you'd think the creators would have changed it by now. The cost for the premium choices range from 14-30 gems which is absolutely ridiculous seeing as there are about 6 premium options in every episode and you only get 1 gem per completed chapter. If you don't pick the premium options, then you get the crappy side of the story. The only way to afford them is to buy gems. It costs $2 for 22 gems, which gets you one premium option. It's absurd how much you expect us to pay if you're not going to take into consideration the feelings of the people playing and using your app. Not to mention, when we download your app, play your games and watch the ads on your story, it's already giving you money per person. I mean how greedy do you guys feel the need to be? If you download this, I suggest reading the stories you have to in order to unlock everything and then going straight into the stories created by users of the app, instead of the gem inspired stories. Sorry this was so long but if you read it then thank you!

Love it!!!. I love this game I love story games there cool I think but if you think you don’t like the game well that’s okay it’s not me it’s you that don’t like the game so I play this game every day and I really like the story love on fire it’s cool and in that story I look hot and I’m a lesbian so I date girls on the game but sometimes you have to date a boy and that’s okay to me and and I also love the story my brothers hot friend I love that one but do not not look like my family because I did not know they were gonna look like that because they show you then but that’s ok I love the game I am 18 so I can get this game and my sister is 11 her name is max and my name is opal and i love this game so much and will forget this game and my sister has this game it’s her birthday in 6 more days and I can’t wait that means she is gonna 12 because she was 11 can’t wait and add more to the and story’s so there is more cool story’s to do and I also have a brother he’s 20 years old and he’s name is mike and I have a girlfriend she is 18 like me and her name is Blake and she’s really cute and kind the only thing that is sad about her is that she has cancer 😔 her brother died 13 yeas ago her brother was 16 and he was kind helping her sister and he’s friends and family and people he’s name was Zach and I have a job but I’m not gonna tell you where and I live in Canada and thank you for his game it is my favorite game I have played in years!!!

Best Interactive Story App. I have had this app since the beginning. It’s the one app I’ll never delete. So many amazing stories with beautiful storylines and plots and incredible animation/directing/art work. Once you’re done with one story then there’s thousands more to choice from. Literally every storyline you can think of is on here and I love the diversity. The app itself is great and easy to navigate and I love how you can personalize your own profile on here and have a list of recommended stories. My favorite part of the app is the fact that anyone can create stories in here much like Wattpad but I’m strictly a reader as I don’t have the skill set to direct my own stories on here because it definitely takes skill to create the ‘episodes’ but I enjoy the other users story greatly. The only thing I don’t like about the app is the featured stories that the app’s team makes because they often cost a lot of money for gem choices and sometimes those gem choices are the only desirable option or the only way to dress nice and for people who cannot afford those choices can miss out on important scenes and also those storylines tend to have terrible plots so you waste your money on gem choices for a mediocre story. I do use the unlimited passes for $9.99 a month which is worth it if you read a lot on this app though!

Way to expensive. I’m going to start off with all the things I like about Episode. For one thing, I love how it is interactive and the stories are super fun to read. But I don’t like how much the outfits cost that don’t even really effect the story for example, I bought an exclusive outfit and used up all of my gems and all the characters were super impressed, but then, it gave me the option to pay for an exclusive scene so really!?!? I wasted all my gens on an outfit that didn’t even get me a bonus scene which is ssuuppeerr annoying. And if I don’t get the exclusive outfit? Everyone overreacts and says I look awful which is also annoying. Then there’s the fact that I saved up to get this outfit I really wanted and I was reading the last story that I needed to get the last gem when all of a sudden it gave me a choice to pay for a scene but I didn’t want to but, my finger slipped and hit the exclusive option and I didn’t even get a chance to confirm which was super annoying because I didn’t even want that in the first place!! The gems are also basically impossible to save up because you only get one per chapter which I think is unfair. Last but not least, I would like it if you could make it so that I can change my characters height and body type because it is not realistic that all the girls are shorter than all of the guys and all is the guys are super fit and have six-packs whole all of the girls are super skinny and have big hips and a small waste.

Issue. Just want to say first that I really love episode and I have been reading these stories for a very long time but just a few days ago I was having some issues with the app. I went to read one of my favorite stories and it popped up telling me I had to agree to the terms and conditions and it has never done that before and also I noticed that all my stories were not listed on my favorites they were back in the genres. Also when I tried to read my story it took me back to the very beginning and I was already on chapter 20 or so in fact it did all my stories like that. It wouldn’t even let me save them to my favorites. I’m am really upset about this so I sent in a complaint to support and they sent me an email telling me they had to restore the app and that I had to uninstall the app which I did and that they would let me know when I could reinstall the app which I haven’t heard anything back from them yet and I have been trying to find out how long this process would take because I miss reading my stories but they won’t answer me back which is really aggravating. I’m just trying to find out about this issue so could you please find out something for me and let me know cause I would love to get back to reading my stories cause I love episode. Thank you

Too much for me, but fun for being stupid.. Episode is a fun app for making stories. It allows you to create practically any kind of story you want. Each separated into two categories: serious and stupid. My stories are on the stupid side. Now, you may be wondering - what else is good about the app? Not much. First off most of the stories that are made by the community or the staff are... well... gross. They’re all about sex and love and dating “bad boys”. This isn’t my interest. Now if you’re into that genre, be my guest. Another problem is how you cannot share your original story on the iPad app. It is a pain in the booty to work on the episodes on the website. To me this app does not have much to it; once you find the beautiful, comedy stories though, the app becomes heaven. Oh! And the advertising - the ADVERTISING for this app is so horribly done. How does this app even have people using it? How about come up with a better marketing idea rather than really annoying, stupid ads about complete random stuff like ‘peeing on someone asleep on the toilet’, or being pregnant and some guy saying ‘yay it wasn’t a food baby!’. Honestly, what. The. Heck. If you wish to make everyone smile by writing and creating a hilarious story use this app (I extremely recommend it for this use). If you are searching for something steamy to read, pick this app. Personally, I use it for writing stupid and pointless stories and showing them off to the world.

Kinda getting annoying. This is a pretty cool app, I love the story’s and the design but there are really on two problems I have. Number one is the diamonds, it isn’t really fair for the people who can’t buy them to have to wait to get them. We have to choose options that effect our story but because we don’t have the amount we need we get stuck with the bad ones that almost ruin the entire story for us! The fact that there is only two ways of getting them and one of them is just playing is annoying. We either have to push through not having them and choose bad options or we have to waste tickets on a story just so we can get diamonds! Please fix this. My other problem is the story’s we can make ourselves. It’s a great idea and I absolutely love it, especially sense you can’t have diamond options but the design of the characters are different and it’s to hard to make. The episode story’s have an amazing design and I really applaud the people who make them but why don’t the users get the same design? It’s unfair and really a waste. I’m sure a lot more people would use episode if they had the same chances for characters. My other problem with the story’s is it’s way to hard to make. I’ve tried several times to make it and I’ve failed every time because of the difficulty. You should make more animations, backgrounds and clothes. Also give a better tutorial so we understand how to do it more. Other than that this app is perfect, change those things and it can be five stars.

Love!. I downloaded this for an offer in another app. I had seen advertisements before on social media, but didn’t seem like anything I’d get into. I expected to only get through the few chapters I had to, in order to receive my gems in the initial game. But after those fewchapters, I ended up reading more and more, finding myself constantly checking for passes. Sometimes, it can get frustrating to not have passes when you’re reallyinto reading the story, but you can watch ads to reduce time, or you can get so many after reading a certain amount. They also give so many passes after a couple of hours. I normally rate an app, based on how much they keep my interest, as well as their support/customer service. It’s definitely kept my interest, as I’m constantly coming back to the app each time I get the baby settled or he’s distracted. I’ve only dealt with customer service twice with once hoping for something I’d googled about subscriptions to passes (which are no longer available/offered), and the other with an issue with one of the ads. Both times were responded to within 24 hours (very good timing, as most take days, or never respond), and the issue I had with an ad freezing, they were aware of and looking for a fix, but compensated me with the loss of my items (very quickly). I definitely have to rate the app a 5, and the customer service. They’re great!

Please Listen to Us!!. I first downloaded Episode years ago way back when it was first being released. And I loved it! For a little while. I found a lot of little flaws that eventually built up and made my experience awful. So I deleted it. Then a year or so after that, I redownloaded it because I wanted to create a story and I missed reading all the stories. But again little things got in the way and I deleted it. And downloaded it for a third time because I really wanted to play. This last time I downloaded it I saw that a lot of things had changed like the ticket and gem/diamond situations. It has already begun to frustrate me and I’ve had the app for 20 hours. So, I decided to check out the reviews to see if other people were feeling the same way. I went back four months, which isn’t a whole lot, and people back then were complaining about the ticket and gem issue. That means that Episode has not fixed this problem for months but the app has the holiday design and says it was updated more recently than that. This means that the people at Episode aren’t bothering to listen which is really disappointing Honestly, it is a really fun game but I would not recommend downloading it unless you’re okay with not having any choices or having the options and spending a bunch of real money. As someone who was there at the beginning, I am very disappointed. I wish the Episode team would read these reviews and understand that people don’t want to pay.

Great app but needs improvements. I played this app for many years, and I always loved it. But I was reading other peoples reviews and couldn’t agree with them more. The fact that we have to go through all these tasks surveys and watching ads to get diamonds is becoming a little annoying. A lot of the stories have choices with diamonds but the diamonds a are way too expensive. If the diamonds were cheaper, maybe we wouldn’t be complaining. When it comes to changing an outfit, that should be free. And I agree with one of the reviewers that the diamonds should maybe go towards tickets instead. However, I do like that we get achievements throughout the stories, and the achievements go towards our gems Another thing I want to add is we should have the option of taking off tattoos on our crushes. I know the characters are supposed to represent a bad boy but I just don’t like tattoos on my men soooo. lol. Option would be great to change that if we have the choice to change features anyway. I just find the that the process we have to go through to earn gems is really making the app less exciting. Maybe there can be other ways to earn such as fun booo related contest. Or POLLS is a good idea. The gumball machine keeps giving me clothes for my profile which I don’t need. I also feel like there should be an option to reset the story if we mess up instead of that story being saved.

many things could be improved. Although this app has many great stories there are many things that could be improved. Number one, diamonds, I find it ridiculous that if I wanted to wear a cute outfit or do something like go to a party I’d have to pay 15 diamonds. They could at least make it reasonable like 5 and give u at least two diamonds at the end of each chapter. Just because of this I only watch the stories where I can choose whatever I’d like even tho there are many that’d I’d like to watch but they don’t allow you to choose the best options unless u have that number of diamonds. Number two, tickets, I feel that we should be given more than four tickets per refill. There are many stories that have a least 50 episodes so it’s kind off annoying that I can only use 4 and then have to wait for like 3 hours for the tickets to refill. Which leads me to number three, waiting time, I absolutely hate when I get to a really good part of a story and my tickets run out and I’m forced to wait 2-3 hours before the refill. I will say they have added ads that you can watch and in return you get 30 minutes off your time but you can only use those about 1 to 2 separate times a day before you are forced to wait another 2-3 hours. In conclusion it would be great if the amount of diamonds needed to pick the most appealing choice could be reduced as well as the amount of time needed to refill the tickets, and if the amount of tickets could be increased.

Amazing but there’s some suggestions.. AMAZING GAME. It has so many good stories, it’s like reading a book or watching a movie but it’s just so much better because we get to search through all these peoples creativity not only giving readers a good experience, but make authors express themselves in a good way to make them feel proud! But there a some suggestions I would like to make...So, number ONE. The Diamonds. Yes, the diamonds are very hard to get for a reason and I get they put that in the story for reasons too. It’s like an exclusive to make a story more...more...juicy. BUT. JUST BUT...Why only one diamond a chapter. I feel like I have been ripped off every time I finish a chapter and get only ONE diamond. I have to like watch at least 15 chapters just make one choice in a story! And I need to watch so many ads and get so many passes for that! I feel like there should be at least 2 diamonds given. Or maybe a limit to these prices of these choices to all of the diamond choices. If not, I pity you. And problem number two. The Creating Process. So, I’m the game, you can make some stories. But, why would you limit the process choices to add in your story while in mobile? That’s just way to much work to actually make a GOOD JUICY story on mobile. And the creating on computer is so complicated! You have to do all these codings and stuff. It’s just so confusing! Please, fix this. That’s all I got. But I will keep playing your game because it’s over all a cool app.

Suggestions. i really enjoy playing episode but I've noticed it's really buggy. sometimes while watching ads, right when they're about to finish and i'm able to ready it'll freeze and i have to close the app and start over with the ads. my profile also tends to disappear or log me out and i can never log back in so i have to create a whole new account. and now recently i'm trying to buy vip but a bunch of symbols like %@/ will show up instead of the price and when i click buy, it doesn't work. my suggestions would be to first fix the bugs and 2, even though everyone always says this, decrease the time for the passes. 3 hours is a long time and i have other things to do throughout the day and because of the wait i'll often forget about episode and it'll delete itself. and maybe consider making it so after you read a story where u can add gems, depending how long the story is you should be able to earn anywhere from 1-3 gems. i've read a lot of LONG stories with many gem options and they're always 20-30 gems just to make a decent option to keep the story going in the direction you want and then at the end you only earn 1 which isn't gonna get you anywhere in the story. and lastly idk if this is an option or not since i'm not an episode author but i would suggest making smoother animations or having it so authors can make their own so it doesn't look so choppy and animated if this isn't a thing already.

Fun but money hungry. Ive been playing episode for a long time and at the beginning I enjoyed it. I remember not always having enough diamonds to make the better decisions and that’s how I found user stories. Not only were user stories well written they also did not force you to spend 29 gems on one decision and they had way more episodes then the regular stories produced by episode. I thought I had hit the jackpot until episode noticed user stories were deemed better so they gave author’s the ability to make choices cause gems. This upset me as I enjoy supporting author’s but it’s not fun to read my favorite stories when every time I make a decision it cost me money .Years ago you would get 4 tickets every 3 hours and now it’s only 2 tickets. Inflation in episode is everywhere and its very upsetting. Every choice in an original episode story cost 29 gems. Making 5 choices would cost you 145 gems. To even get 145 gems you would need to spend $20. Thats insane and there are way more then 5 choices in one single episode. I have 1 more ticket left and now they are telling me I can’t read the next 3 episodes of a user story unless I wait an hour or unless I give them 7 gems. This is insane you can not do a single thing or you will be spending money and a lot of it. Please do better episode and make this app usable again, if this keeps up I will be deleting my account soon and taking my business elsewhere.

Needs Some Work.. The concept of this game is amazing, having a bunch of different stories, choices and personalities to chose from but the fact that most of the choices are locked away if you don’t have gems is really disappointing. Even in the first 3 stories you are given nothing really happens if you don’t have any gems, all you get to do are the blander choices and the stories goes on and on with filler to get that ONE chapter that you read 12 other chapters for. Honestly it’s very disappointing, even though that may be the case it may still be fun seeing what happens without them. But also the way tickets are given is very strange, the 2 tickets that you get are given ever 3 hours, but the 3 hour timer doesn’t start till after you use all of them. Which means you get to read 2 chapters every 3 HOURS, even though it only takes maybe 5-15 minutes to read a chapter. You should instead just get them every 3 hours no matter if you’ve used the previous 2 or not. The gem choices should be lower especially in the starting 3 stories. Some of the choices will be from 20-50 gems even though you start with 0 gems at the beginning of the game. The fact that this games REQUIRES you to buy big amounts of tickets and gems is ridiculous. If the game developers would find a better way to profit the game would become much more enjoyable for its players/readers.

I love the game but theirs a bit an issue and a problem.... Okay so I have been playing this game since I was in 5th grade but I deleted because I was really busy, then a past of months plus year’s have been past so I re-download it again but now I have this problem, it won’t let me in then it would like take like a bit of 5 mins or maybe more to let me in but it didn’t. Well if you open the app the first thing is you see Is Welcome We can’t wait for you to start your new story okay then so you look down and see this red thing which is loading part but for me it didn’t EVEN load properly to be honest like it suddenly glitch. So then I was just waiting to open my game then suddenly this sign thing or a warning pop out-( idk if this is a warning but I didn’t do anything like I didn’t cheat or etc. I just want to play this game again because I’ve missed it for such a long time )- Like out of nowhere and said this to me: TIME OUT The connection is timed out. Please retry to connect the server, okay so I did fix my connection so then I try again but it didn’t so I try and try again but it didn’t even work. Okay so I have WANTING to play this game again but the problem is I can’t i don’t know if this a problem or something but please try to fix this! that’s all I want plus I want all kids or everyone to enjoy this game again please fix this issue. Please and Thank you.

Suggestions. Absolutely love this game. The only things I would suggest is making it to where instead of using the diamonds to chose the best option in the story we read, why not let us use our diamonds towards tickets? We are only granted 4 tickets in an allotted amount of time. Why not let us buy tickets with the diamonds and let us make our own decisions in the game without being charged for them? And instead of getting just 1 diamond at the end of every episode, why not make it 2 diamonds? Each ticket should cost one diamond that way we can continue reading. You can still offer your deals to buy diamonds and tickets, but for people that use this app to read the stories they love and escape reality to go into fiction, it would be nicer and more combiner for us. As far as designing, please add more backgrounds and maybe add music that people listen too daily to kinda make the story revolve around their preference! There are a lot of stories that involve parties and dancing and the music you hear sounds like it came from the early 2000’s version of strawberry shortcake. We get to customize what our characters look like and their names. Why can’t we pick the music we like too? You can make safety features that make you verify how old you are so you know what music content is suitable for younger and older ages. Again these are just suggestions and the app is amazing. But I feel as if the suggestions would better accommodate your users.

Acquiring the Gems. Episode is an incredibly fun and interesting game. I love the way you can customise the characters, choose their names. So far, I have only come across is how difficult it is to get gems. I don’t particularly want to spend money to get gems in a game. To me, that’s kind of pointless. I do, however that paying for things in the game is the way that the company pays their engineers, but it would be nice if you make it a feature to watch a short add to get, 5 gems. Just a small amount of gems like that. I know that you could get old his in the premium version or something, but I’ve only had the app for a day and I’m not sure if I want to pay to get a couple adds. All I’m asking is that we can watch an add to receive gems, and it’s a daily thing. It would make this game so much easier to play. I have had this game for a full day now and only have four gems. I need more than fifteen gems to do anything interesting in the stories. I haven’t spent my gems on anything at all because nothing I’ve come across is worth half a gem. Please just upgrade the game.

Good and bad. This app can be really pay to win with the “diamond choices”. However there are free versions of stories which are well written and there a lot of talented writers on this app. The diamond stories are advertised a lot almost forcing you to play them and leads to stories where you are forced to make the “bad choices” if you don’t have diamonds, which you can earn for free by reading lots of chapters of the diamond stories or buying them for unreasonable prices. I don’t mean to sound like a freeloader but when it leads to bad choices that can make young girls or teenagers feel annoyed or insecure about the story they’re reading there’s a problem. Another problem is the ads. I don’t mind the ads, but some of the ads you literally cannot click off and glitch the whole app. An example is one of the demo games, there is no cross button and you have to reset the app and watch another two ads to read your story. The only bypass for ads in this is to buy a bypass that isn’t even permanent. Another issue is there was once a very erotic ad displayed on an app young girls play.

Great app but needs some changes.. Episode is actually a great app but as I said, it does need a few changes. Some stories give you options to change clothing, what to do, or accept an invitation to the raddest party in the town. But some of these options cost gems. A lot of gems to be precise. If you are playing a mystery story and trying to escape from the cops, to hitch a ride you need to spend gems. This may not sound like a bad thing but there are tons of stories like this. I have been playing a story and it has asked me for one of the gem costing options and I spent 20 gems. Later on I have to escape from the cops and to hitch a ride I need to spend another 20 gems. You are only given around 15 gems and I had already been given a choice to spend 15 gems in another story. Whats more is that, it isn’t easy to get gems. Yes, some stories do offer a gem after finishing 1 episode but you can’t always read these stories because you probably have run out of tickets to read stories. Which take a whole 2-3 hours just to refresh 2 tickets unless you spend real money to buy tickets. Tickets take too long to refresh and too many stories need gems to advance the story. Episode really needs to create a more efficient app. It is a fun app but as I have said, it needs a few changes within the app.

amazing but has a few issues. Episode is a great app, for those who like to read different genres of stories, to people who create them. I just think there should be a few changes. Including: Ages. It’s annoying that there isn’t ages. I know that they’ve added babies, but not like toddlers, kids, tweens, or teens. Another would have to be sizes. A main issue I don’t like creating stories is weight sizes or height. Although when you squish them down they just get smaller in general. Not in length. If you could choose how tall or wide they are, and their weight size. Having more customisation like this would mean a lot to us who create stories. Also, a little idea; try to bring in animals. Maybe start off with household pets. And the last thing, gems. Now it’s a cool idea to get a gem/diamond after reading one of episode’s stories. Although in every chapter there is a deal to get that good ending, or path for gems. And these ‘better paths’ aren’t necessarily better. Maybe you end up doing something more fun, or get to wear something better, but the cost of it is like 15-20 gems. And these deals of paths occur every chapter. Please shorten the, down to 5 at max. Maybe even try to not use them at all. I know that it’s for profit, to get people to buy more gems. Doing this will probably not do that. It’ll probably be the opposite effect. Please listen to these ideas.

What happened?. Like many people Episode was a classic game from when I was younger. It was fun, and sure waiting around for tickets was a pain, but no where near as much of a pain as the whole app is now. It’s become so exclusive and the whole “read x amount of chapters before unlocking the full game” is stupid. If you’re gonna do that at least provide some variety, because I know for a fact there are more stories than just romance on this app. And having those stories be “use gems to pick this choice” kind of stories is also bad because no one who first opens the app is going to have the 19 gems to pick a good option in a story they don’t like. In fact the whole concept of having to pay to select a choice is terrible because it means that there’s a TON of people who don’t get the full experience of a story and it isn’t fair. If you’re advertising as a free to play game it should BE a free to play game. Not a “you can play for free but you don’t actually get to choose” game because that defeats the entire purpose of this app. You really have something going with app, and it was always cool to see the lesser popular stories and go through them because those were my favourite. But with this new set up you have I am required to wait 20 hours before I can even LOOK for those stories. Surely if this game is able to afford every second tumblr ad it can afford to make the changes to improved

WHY THE GEMS!!??🤬🤬🤯. This is a GREAT gam but the gems RUIN it. I was playing the Cameron Dallas story and he guilted be into wearing a dress he bought me and he was like “I got u a dress, rlly hope u can wear it u would be so disappointed if u didn’t” 😔😔 and the the dress ended up costing something like 25 gems!!! 💎 this really annoys me and your game could b incredible if they weren’t there. It’s not like u need to make something achievable in the game cuz that’s not the purpose. It really ruins the game if there r gems so plz just get rid of them. In real life there would not need to be money paid to make a choice of clothing u already own. Also the adds are quite annoying and they glitch a lot. I once had to watch 6 adds before an episode and didn’t even get to read it! Others than these two MASSIVE 🦕🐋🐘 issues that could be easily fixed, this game is awesome. The stories are great and I love how almost every story lets u customise urself. This - overall - is a good game but some changes need to be made. Sincerely a person.

I highly recommend it. This app is certainly the best “choose your own adventure” app out there, with a variety of stories, genres, and opportunities to create or read. A lot of people are upset about the gems in the game, however there are stories that don’t include gem spending (that I find are actually more interesting than ones that cost gems) and ways to get around spending gems (such as watching an as instead of spending them). Since the gems don’t bother me that much, and there is always a downside to a review, I must say that when creating a story that you want to release, it requires intense coding without much guidance to how to use it. It would be helpful if there were guides to work it out, even for the simplest of codes programmed on the app. However, compared to the rest of the positive features this app provides, this issue is close to insignificant and can be avoided by searching guides online (though it would be helpful for episode to provide them). I truly recommend this app if you want a place to create, choose and read - it is brilliant!

Amazing… and needs MORE credit!. I’ve been an Episode player since 2016 and despite the many changes it has gone through over the years, I’ve never stopped loving it. It took a while for Episode to implement more diverse customisation options, but I’m really pleased at the variety they have now. Gem options is something that Episode usually gets critiqued for but for an app that’s free, they have to make their money somehow. A lot of people disregard community stories when first playing and I understand. Since Episode requires new players to read a certain amount of chapters to unlock the whole thing, many people see Episode for the whole ‘pay 30 gems to look hot or pay nothing at look ugly’. Once the whole app is unlocked, you can now access community stories. They are longer in the typically paid story which is around 12 chapters, and has little to no gem options. If there are, it’s usually an option to unlock bonus content (which are extra scenes that don’t affect the main plot), or a chance to support the author. Community stories need more recognition because their are definitely some amazing stories out there with 10/10 coding and plot. I’m not hating on the paid stories, but I wish people would stop judging Episode purely for its outrageous gem options, without giving community stories a chance.

Disappointed. I used to play this game so much, it was such a great app, just re-downloaded and you have to read stories to unlock more stories and then you need to complete 6 stories before unlocking all of them. It takes for ever to get the passes and I’m not gonna pay for them the amount of passes and time you would need to use to unlock all stories. Honestly not worth it. So disappointed in this game. If it was the way it used to be I might actually spend money on it if needed or for fun. I have an idea that can help improve the game! You guys should have mini games and achievements and the prizes should be gems! To the point where it’s still fair to the players. But still have to option to buy if you want more then what’s given. Or add some ads or something so you still make a profit and the gamers still have fun. And have the option to collect gems by watching ads! Also you should make the passes more then what there is. Like at least 6-10 and then wait for more!

A Shortfall. Despite it’s great story creation and character animations, I’ve felt dissatisfied with a handful of things in the app. Firstly, with a quite below average rewards system, people like me (without access to purchasing diamonds) cannot purchase premium choices in stories, no matter how little those premium choices make to the storyline. Secondly, a story offering premium choices without a diamond reward for every chapter read really turns me away from reading as, in mentioned above, I have no way of purchasing diamonds to purchase premium choices as I have been locked out of money purchases through my Apple devices (thanks Apple). Third and finally, many of the stories (including ones with premium choices) have predictable storylines, predictable upcoming premium choices, a plateau of emotional intensity through love interest scenes, action scenes etc. and doesn’t do the app justice in helping engage the customers, especially with overlapping plot points in similar genres. At this point, I’m not bothered if I read anything more from the app or not. I’ve nothing to gain or lose and nothing to enjoy in continuing to use it. Maybe I’ll come back to it if a better reward system is introduced.

My Review (kind off bad). This app is good in many ways. But like all things it also has its downsides. Most stories written are absolutely amazing (I especially love he romance section). The customisation and overall storyline is entertaining. But there is a problem. The passes. A few months ago, I upgraded my phone. I managed to back everything up just as it was with much ease. It was done and back to normal in a day. It saved absolutely everything. School started and I didn’t have time to play episode. For about a month and a half I didn’t play. A couple weeks ago I opened the app to see that there were many new stories (YAY), and the stories I had saved and begun had been saved at the exact spot I had ended them. Everything was identical to what it was, except my passes. I had over 30 passes on my episode and when I started playing again I had only one. This made me quite upset as I had gained those passes. Loosing my passes isn’t quite the problem here (although very annoying), it is the fact that I (and other episode users) have to wait 3 hrs 25 mins for a pass. Either shorten the time you have to wait for a pass or make readers watch an add to receive a pass. I have never seen anything like this. I hope you take my comment into consideration.

Just a suggestion <333. I love this app, but I wish there were more ways to get diamonds rather than blow money off on a lousy deal that would only last me one day— due to how expensive the choices are getting in these episodes. I would also suggest a feature that allows one to download a story, so that the person could access it without internet— in the past I’ve wished for this, and it would always be frustrating for me to wait till I have proper internet connection to play. Other than the gem issue and my little idea, there’s just some minor details that irk me from time to time— such as the templates for the face, body and hair are very low pixel, yet for some reason the eyes are more highly detailed? There’s also a few assets, such as the back of the heads are always the same shape, and a bit awkward looking— as well as; the hands always seem stiff, background resolutions are always horridly low quality, there’s not many diverse animations, and objects/entities have a very faint outline of colour that obviously shouldn’t be there. But those are just the little things. As an artist, I tend to find those details better. This app has a great community, great memes, and an ever growing creativity— if these little minor fixes are done, this app would be perfect. I love everything else about this app. That’s all. <3

Amazing App with a few problems.. I really, really like this app. It’s really addiction but there are somethings I don’t like about it. First of all, unless you buy a ton of the diamond thingies, you are stuck doing all the boring activities. Situations come up now and again when you have the choice to do some thing exciting, but you can only go through with it it you spend up to 30 diamonds on it. This usually means your stuck doing the boring actives instead of enjoying it properly. I understand that free apps like this need to find an income some how, but by in creasing the amount of diamonds you get when you finish a chapter and decreasing the amount you have to pay, the game would be more enjoyable. Another thing I find annoying is that to move to the next chapter, you have to pay tickets. This is really annoying because whenever you finish a chapter, it usually ends on a cliffhanger. I’m saying that this is a bad thing, but then, to go into the next chapter you have to pay tickets. You can either buy or wait for the tickets regenerate. This usually takes about three or 4 hours. This app is really good, but if these things were cleared up it would be a lot better.

Great gane, and i love it but things beed improvement. I’m seriously in-love with this game, the stories created are just so engaging and the fact you can choose what you like not just a list of things to do. But i would like to see inprovements, i’m not saying that this game is bad but i just think this would make it even better. I would suggest in having less of you need a ticket to continue, or you need this many diamonds for this.. oh wait im going to give you one after you finish this chapter so you cant do this until you finish... I just find it quite frustrating when these qualities come in to play. So prehaps remove the feature of tickets or at least give us more then 2... and maybe even add more ways to achieve diamonds or for it to be more common to get more then one, because at this point in the game im grinding for diamonds despite the fact that i cannot afford to buy them for money. Yet i understand you have to make something from this so these are only suggestions and what i think would make this game so much better. Kind regards, Me

My favourite app now my least. I used to love this app but now that you have to use 20-30 gems to pick the most reasonable choice is a terrible mistake by the app. Me and my friends all used to play Episode and only recommend stories t each other that are worth playing - which means making use choose between paying real money or not having a choice isn’t looking so good for you. Users do not receive enough gems to regularly or even rarely make those choices which can ruin the stories for the audience. Many people are not willing to pay for those gems which are reflected in your other reviews. There are also not enough passes given out often enough. I have noticed that you have recently retired the mobile creation on Episode which for me used to be a great way to attempt making my own stories to match up with some of the other amazing ones out there. The mobile creation was limited to only the Episode INK character and had extremely limited outfit choices (the outfits also had to be chosen all together rather than mixing and matching different seperate pieces). It would be great if you could create some way for users inexperienced with coding to make their own stories in Episode LIMELIGHT. It’s disappointing how my once favourite app has turned out and reading through the recent comments makes it clear to me that you have no value in what your users want or want improvements on. Try listening to them and I hope your app gets better :(

I love this game. I really like this game and I’ve been playing it since my sister showed it to me years ago. I don’t play it as often anymore because I don’t like how now you can get vip and skip ads and what not. I get that the creator/s want more money (as game developers do, it costs money to make games) but I prefer it much more as it used to be. I know it won’t really change but thought I’d say that. Overall I love the game though, the fact that you can make your own games (no idea how to do that though), create a personalised account and play one of the many different stories made by other people is just so cool to me (mainly the last one because all the stories are really impressive). I don’t mind how some choices cost quite a bit of diamonds because I don’t usually want to choose that option but overall I quite like this game and would give it a solid 4 stars for the positive reasons I’ve stated and because I’ve played for a while but if I could a more accurate rating I’d say around 3.7 but close to four stars. :)

I love this game but.... I love this game and have been paying it for years. It is the best interactive reading and choices app I have ever had. It has great animations, heaps of stories and some authors put free choices which I love. When I first got this game it had a feature where you could easily just create your own story and not having to publish it. Now you have to create stories on a laptops or computers using coding which is much harder to do and not everyone has access to a computer. The old version of create story mode was easy to use you. Just simple make the characters you want, pick from the number of different backgrounds, type the want to say and use the many animations. Do this many times to create a story it was as simple as that anyone could do it, now it’s complex coding that people can’t all do. This game is so amazing and highly recommend but the only thing it needs to make it a five star is put that easy creation of stories back. BRING IT BACK PLEASE. I’m not the only one who things this way either listen to us please. Thanks for the amazing game though.

Episode isn’t the same. I am appalled at the updates on this app. I just re-downloaded to find it is completely different. There is no way for people with less money to collect gems to unlock special scenes or outfits you have to wait to get new stories this once fun and cool app has become restricting irritating and outrageous. I miss the old episode, this game use to be so good and me and my friends use to always play it but now are restricted from playing this game how we and hundreds of other people want. You have to read 3 chapters before you can get a new book and every book you get you have to use gems to access the fun scenes. There’s no browsing or searching for stories, you are unable to get free gems from watching videos or finishing chapters like before and you have no choice in which books you get given. I think episode has reached a point where it is going backwards instead of forwards, if this game wants back it’s old users it needs to make some serious changes, here’s a tip get rid of all recent updates

Just amazing!. I have been playing episode for a while now it is super fun and all the stories are great this is a super addictive game and totally recommend it. But like all reviews there is always a down side.. I don’t like the fact that gems are really rare to get. I know how you have to watch the stories that have a thing that lets you earn a gem every episode. Some people can’t get gems for reasons like parents won’t allow or it’s a waste of money. I watched a video and this YouTuber (Yammy)she spent so much of her money on gems on episode. I myself am not allowed to get gems because of my parents (thanks mum..)another hung about gems, I hate in stories that are like do such and such for 29 gems like these story writes already get like ten million gems a day and I don’t think it’s fair like why can’t we have this thing where if we do the right thing we get 2 gems? I know it won’t happen but really 20 GEMS TO DO ONE THING I aM LiTeRALlY RaGInG!! And passes are probably the easiest thing to get even though you have to wait 2 hours for 2 passes.. but the questions that give you passes I find amazing. Over all... this game is great but JUST DONT MAKE US WASTE 20 MILLION GEMS FOR ONE CHOICE ITS A WASTE OF TIME LIKE ITS JUST A CHOICE!!!!!!!!

Review. I have played this game for many years, and it’s been such a journey through all the updates and I really love the game so much but there is a few touch ups that I think people would like to change ,, first of all instead of having 2 passes you should make it up to 4-5 because 2 passes go verry quick and it’s like a 4 hour wait for another 2 passes,, which is sometimes really annoying, if this was happend to be changed I can guarantee you people would be a lot happier with it ,, also I would like to add in about the Episode stories ,, there’s a lot of choices that costs gems,, I would like if that was to change to ,, because some people just don’t have enough gems and not enough money these days,, and they just want to make choices without gems these days so I suggest for the choices to be sometimes costed with gems and sometimes not so people can have an equal chance to experience the fun choices ,, but overall this game is still fun and enjoyable no matter what Keep up the good work , Thanks. ❤️

okay. i enjoy EVERYTHING about this app. i love the stories, how u can create ur own character, the qna option, almost everything. but the gems and ads are a HUGE problem. 1. gems - some stories ask for too much gems and u only earn a bit from ur streak or u can earn 1 gem from reading stories that use gems, so i always avoid stories that use gems because i cannot afford to buy some more. 2. ads - this is a HUGE problem!! why should i watch 2x ads PER cHAPTER!! ur ads last 30-15 seconds so im wasting 4 minutes max from reading 4 chapters!! #lessads. however the option where u can watch ads to remove 30 minutes of waiting time for the tickets are a really good idea!! here are some improvements: 1. allow people to comment on the story and show their ratings 2. 1 ad per chapter!! (none preferably 😂😂) 3. gems should be 5-10 pre choice!! OR allow a way to earn lots of gems, like more gems being earned from reading a story that uses gems, watch ads, from rating a story, etc. 4. allow authors to make announcements and allow readers to comment in them so that the author and readers can connect more also side note, i see episode ads that have really cool options and wonder what story they are from and can never find them... fake advertising? please just put the name of the story in the end of the ad so that the author gets credit pls. smh

Needs more on create your own.. I'm not gonna go on about how great the game is (you already know how amazing it is) and just cut to the chase: 1) In create your own, it is so fun. Although, there is no hugging action, filming on phone, TALKING into a microphone, bowing, running, etc 2) More backgrounds? There are limited background options, making it hard for times like: Eating, there is no table or dining room. Fancy bathroom, only that messy, 3rd class one. Dressing room? Shopping but you can't really try anything on. Closet? More classrooms? I'm publishing stories but all the schools only teach science... More options on a work place/school area. Back yard, pool, front yard? 3) It would be amazing if we could make elderly people, adults, teens, children AND babies/toddlers! Different outfits and all, of course! 4) Having more than 20 characters in a story would be heaven, almost. 5 characters on the set at a time is NOT ENOUGH! 5) While playing other episode stories, we get offered many things as a choice but the only good choice is ALWAYS (and I mean EVERY TIME) at least 15-20 gems. Now, it is very hard to make gems, collect gems. We have to BUY the gems to continue playing the stories! This caused me to delete the game but then I missed the only GOOD thing, creating a story. So please, either make the choices 2-5 gems each or make it easier to collect gems! PLEASE Thankyou for taking my thoughts into consideration. I bid you all a good day, bye.

My Honest Opinion.. Hi all. I just wanna state this is my personal opinion. I see ads for this application on a daily basis almost. So one day I gave in and downloaded thinking ah what’s the worst it could be. After all it looks like a fun narrative that has endless options and outcomes. Boyyyyy I was wrong. Straight away I’m being pestered to pay for the “cool” or “interesting” stories that have been shown in such ads, I ignore and proceed to find the stories. And instantly. There were only 3 or so stories to choose from. So I frustratingly picked one knowing that without paying this is all I’d be able to play. Not even 5 minutes later (keep in mind this game does NOT have skipping features in between dialogue) I cannot “proceed” with that story as I have to pay. And as I am not going to pay to play a game that I had no interest in playing in the first place I uninstalled this. I would not recommend unless you want to spend money on a rather boring game as it turned out to be (the little that I played of it anyway). I have to give 2 stars. They have the idea there but definately not the right go about it. I hope this gets listed in the recommended reviews as I believe this shouldn’t be a biased list of only “pro” reviews and should be an even list of against and for reviews. Thankyou for reading this far. James E

Before downloading read. I love this game so addictive fun and enjoyable I love the warnings and how there are different styles of people how you can puck girls or guys. It’s all amazing but I have a couple concerns. First of all what is with it with the gems? Like you get 1 single gem each story and it’s really annoying like 35 gems to go see dolphins? Like they should be lowered to how enjoyed they can be. Not all of us can get the gems that cost money to get the fun choices it’s honestly super unfair. Also instead of 1 Gem each episode maybe you can do that but also get gems of how you complete the story or like a daily log in streak if you go in everyday for a week you can get some gems. Also there should be more choices because it always does choices that I don’t want say I’m at the shop and she says can we get this and I say yes but it didn’t even get me a choice. Like please and how it takes 3 hours t

Pros and cons of this app. I used to play this game all the time when I was younger. It was really fun and always entertaining. I’ve suddenly gotten into it again and I’ve got to say that the new update is quite disappointing. It is very limited, and not as fun. You either have to buy everything to get the full package or read six chapters of a story you don’t enjoy. This is very inconvenient, I understand that you need to make money but is it really necessary to take away pretty much everything that we were use to having? I’m extremely disappointed with how Episode is running their app. It used to be my all time favourite game and now it’s turned into a massive bummer, it really isn’t that fun anymore. I also don’t like that you have to pay to pick a choice in a game. Nobody who plays the app should have to pay gems to pick an option in the story. I feel that gems should be used for other things such as certain features for when you are designing your characters. That would be much more reasonable don’t you think? I hope that you take my suggestions into at least a little bit of consideration. Because overall your audience is what matters, they keep your app running.

All Background hair etc!. I love this game but it would be almost perfect if there were some changes. I would love to be able to use all of the hair,backgrounds,emotions etc! I don’t think it’s fair you can only use it on episode interactive, also on more of the popular stories please make the prices to pick choices cheaper!!! It’s very annoying how expensive they are and I think with these changes that it would be super awesome for you to do so, please listen to this advice cause I have wrote multiple reviews about this topic and nothing has changed since 😕. It would be 👍✅ if you would please change the app by doing so, when I was changing my character on the profile there was all of the backgrounds and I got really excited for the create section cause I thought that changed as well... Please change it and I’m sure there are more people who feel this way also, Thanks!

I love it but.... This is one of my favourite apps and I use it nearly every day. somehow this app seems to pull me towards the dramas and the romances, the only thing is... I have been writing my story recently and I’ve realised that the Mobil creation part of the app only has very limited options. I am very grateful at the fact that the app has added choices to the list of things we can do but I feel as if we should be able to do things like have more backgrounds and limelight features on our characters. I have also noticed that our clothing choices are very limited. For the clothing choices I think that we should have a lot and I mean a lot more options. I think we should be able to choose what top we want, what bottoms we want and what shoes we want. I have visited the website and created characters on there and I think that the character creation part of the Mobil creation should be more like that. But other than that great job on your success and I hope you can make some changes to make your app even more wonderful.

Great ideas behind it but..... I love episode but for 1 ticket you have to wait THREE HOURS?!?! I find this more than slightly off putting especially since I don't want/can't spend money on an app. I do understand that you have to make a profit but 3 hours to play one 5-10 minute chapter? I find that ridiculous. I suggest making it maybe 30 minutes instead of 3 hours. Then the gems.... How many stories I have played that for the only reasonable choice or the choice that allows you to get close to a person or save someone costs a huge amount of gems. I don't think that KISSING someone should cost money. Like that is so freaking dumb. Maybe if the character is shopping for like a special outfit it can cost something but wearing an outfit that you ALREADY OWN? Again really stupid. Yeah at the end of most chapters you get 1 gem but every chapter you have like five choice that dost at least 15 gems.I have gotten no where and have had to make really cruel choices in some of my games because I don't have enough. I strongly suggest you consider some of my ideas and others because from looking through these reviews everyone feels similarly to me.

Great but…. This game is really fun and relaxing to play, it has great paths to choose and really inspiring stories. I enjoyed playing it for the first two days. But then I need gems to pay for the best options like ‘shoul d I wear a sparkly dress or wear something plain?’ Of course I’m gonna wear something plain because choosing a sparkly dress would cost you gems (when I first started the game). The only ways to earn gems are by playing an episode, doing surveys, joining a club and earning shards (100 shards=1 gem). It’s overpriced for the deals, the best deals are 1500 gems for $160. They encourage you to get deals, other games give you welcome gifts but you can only get welcome gifts from VIP. I was completing a mission but then realised need VIP to claim the prize. VIP is $22 a month, it’s a good price. Making a story is free, fun and cool. Not hating, this is a very enjoyable game and you can easily love it in minutes this game is one of my favourites overall but it needs some adjustments, I highly recommend this game and hope more people love it in the future. Please download this game and enjoy!

Cost too much. I really enjoy episode but some of these stories are ridiculous with the amount of gems you need to continue with the story. One for example is the character will suggest to the person she likes to hang out, but to actually do it is 20 gems. If you can’t afford to actually buy them with real money you don’t get enough to choose these options often enough, which results in choosing the “sorry, maybe next time” option over and over again. I agree with another review that maybe gems could be used for personalisation options such as certain hairstyles, clothes, colours, etc. but at this point instead of there being a basic option and a premium option it’s either play premium or don’t play the way you want. I don’t think it’s fair to be asking 20 gems for EVERY decision either. If you have to pay gems for that I think there should be different costs based on choice level. Hanging out to study or going on a date should not cost the exact same as some of the riskier choices like sneaking in somewhere with the crush character, etc.

Stories are great, a few suggestions. I absolutely love this app. The way the stories are told and the amazing content. The ONE and ONLY thing that was extremely annoying for me (and probably many other players) was that you now have to do some sort of CODING to make your story! A little while ago in an older version of the game you could create the character movements and speech bubbles as well as their position and clothes with ease. What’s more, you now have to do the coding on a computer! I really want to make a story but I have no idea about coding and we only have one computer that barely even works!! I really dislike this update thing and I am begging you to change it. I believe I also talk for many many other players too. A positive thing about this review is the thing where you can watch a video to have -30 min on your timer for your pass refill. The ONE thing I’m just going to say is it kind of annoys me is that sometimes it says there are “no more videos left” and you have to wait another hour. Other than that the stories are VERY VERY GOOD. One more thing I’m going to say is the gem choices impact the story very much but I can never seem to afford them. Tysm if you read until the end. One extra thing: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GAME CREATORS CHANGE THESE THINGS I WOULD BE SO HAPPY IF YOU DID AND IT WOULD GET YOU ONE EXTRA FIVE STAR RATING TYSM TYSM TYSM :D

Enjoyable but.... I love this game! So many great stories, great ways to make character, and I love that you can make an account and make your own stories. I also like the different art styles you can have. I play this game a lot and it is an excellent way to pass time. However, my one “concern” with the game is how much limited choices cost, and how often they are. It is extremely hard to earn enough gems in the game without in app purchases. I go through almost every story not doing any limited choice because they cost so many gems. Some people aren’t able to make in app purchases for fun choices in the game, and I understand the app needs to make money seeing as it is rising is popularity excessively, but, 39 gems for going to some party with your love interest!?!? I’m not saying you NEED to lower your price for choices (although it would be good if they were lowered) but if there was somehow a way to earn more gems easier rather than earning just one gem from reading five chapters. I understand sometimes you get free passes for certain stories so you get a gem for each chapter you read, but it is still hard to do more than one limited choice every 5 stories. I still love this app, it is extremely enjoyable and I play it most. Good job!

Two things that I’d personally like. 1- I’d say this is more Important than two. Limelight: I’d give episode and automatic 5 star rating if you could make Limelight stories on mobile. I don’t get why you can’t. It’s almost the same as Computer, and plus I’m not the only one. I’m sure many more people want limelight on Mobile. 2- I understand that it’s only fair if you have to pay your diamonds for some things. But it’s become a little to much. It gives you two options for outfits normally, there’s the really amazing one, and the ok one. The amazing one is always 20-40 diamonds and the plain/ok one is free. And situations, having a ‘romantic’ night out, it’s always costing diamonds, or you can just say no. I’m just going to say this in a, more, clear way. We shouldn’t be charged diamonds for every outfit we wear and every move we make. Apart from this I’d say episode is really fun, and interesting. There’s always a story for your specific taste too.

Best interactive story app. ☁️ After episode, I’ve seen so many other apps just like it but changed in style, stories and etc. But episode was the first one ever (i think) and it still is for me, such good stories from the community, amazing clothing artwork, avatar customisation, fanmail, creating your own stories and sharing it with everyone, the layout... you can put recommendations on your profile for others to consider what you personally love.. these are what makes episode unique and the best. ☁️ Maybe i’m biased because it was the first interactive story app 🐨. Because I use to play episode when I didn’t really like how to males looked but the girls were fine. Those times where you can skip ads because there was an X at the start. Those other times when you leave episode and come back to it and have 400 passes because they did not limit the amount you get (rip :( ) when episode didn’t decide to have you read 3 chapters to get another story when you start abnew account or that you’re new (which I hate). i have seen the journey of episode growing and it’s just so special to me and I do support them so much. They’ve worked so hard and gained popularity in the industry. Thank you for creating this masterpiece 💖 ❗️⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️❗️ But please.. fix the favourites tab of the stories we favourited because i have to tap “see all” to read the stories and it’s getting annoying. It has been like this for a while now (not this bad before though).

Great but annoying!!. I love this app tbh.. but it’s really annoying how they only give you one gem for every time you finish an episode. Like at least give us two. Because most of the episodes have 3 exclusive choices where you have to use more than 20 gems for each. And that’s only for 1 episode/chapter which means it’s about 60 gems you have to spend for one episode (if you want to). They need to put less than two exclusive choices in one episode. Because it costs a lot. And for the exclusive choices there’s usually three choices where you either keep what you don’t want/sorta destroy your relationship with someone, have to pay for something and have to pay for something else. Which means we don’t really have a choice and it’s really annoying. They need to at least give us some chances so we actually make our own choices on the app. I’m loving this app but i might delete it soon because it’s not really fair. I get that episode wants to make money so we buy gems and passes but yeah that’s just not gonna roll.

Diamond problem. This app is amazing i love the stories and all the romance but as alot of people have said about this app is the diamonds please shorten the diamonds to atleast 5 because we miss so many good oppurtunities no good dresses, no hooking up with nice people or going on a nice date i know its for profit but no one wants to spend money on diamonds there should be a way to get them for free like watch an ad or something because getting only one diamond after each chapter isnt enough when you need 20 for one opportunity its not fair like even if we got 20 diamonds for completing a bunch of chapters you'll spend it on one opportunity then your back to square one waiting till you get more we miss too many good opportunities the characters that we talk to buy us stuff or dress us up then when you get a choice its "wear this cool dress and impress whoever" for 20 diamonds or for free its sweatpants like are you serious atleast put something decent like a cheap dress like whos going to rock up at a nightclub in sweatpants and a singlet like come on shorten the diamonds or get rid of them otherwise watch your player numbers drop!!

Love Episode but Please Improve. Episode was an app I used to play all the time when I was younger - and I still go through phases of using the app on and off. But it is just SO HARD to play now unless you want to spend money to buy your way through it. It’s so unfair that you’re at a disadvantage if you don’t buy passes and gems - which quite frankly, ruin the story. It’s not really ‘choose your own story’ if you CANT choose the options you like because you need gems every. time. It’s also super hard to play because you can only hold 2 tickets and it takes hours to get them back? It’s such a shame because I’m sure you’d have so many more people engaging and playing if they could read and access their stories more often. Could you try and implement video incentives? Eg. giving users the option to watch a video to gain a pass? Or could you have incentives/mini games/awards to earn passes or gems? Or could you make other alternatives to the gem options so the story doesn’t suffer? I hope you value ALL your users and not just the ones that buy gems.

Great app but still not perfect. I've been using this apps for years now and have seen many improvements since then, such as getting 5 passes instead of 2 in the allotted time, which is now much better, but the app still has a way to go. The gem situation has improved but not nearly enough, they're still expensive and you have to use to many on an option. For example when there's a clothing option they want 20 gems but want the same for a a larger part of the story. I would spend more gems if it was reasonable, I would happily send 5 on a clothing option and then 20 on an important part of the story, it feels more reasonable. Plus without gems the main stories aren't fun, which I get is the point of gems but I'm already sitting through 1 and a half minutes of ads, so I know you're getting money anyway.! I get the need to make money but I think there's better ways around it and then this app could be perfect. I seriously love this app but I find myself disappointed at times.

Amazing. But a few annoying things. Overall the reading experience is amazing! I play episode on the Dailey and have never been disappointed with the amount of stories there are for all kinds of people with different preferences, wether is romance, drama, crime, horror, adventure and so much more. Now, I understand there have been a few comments about gems. If you read stories that episode have published themselves there will be gem choices. However if you read user stories (stories made by the public/episode community) there are no gems required. Therefor you will not need to spend money on gems. The first chapter of any story is a free pass which is great. Moving on to my things that could be improved. I enjoy making my own stories (creating on my phone) but on the app there are limited emotions and outfits. On the computer you can make and customize your own outfit and there are heaps more outfits. Please find a way to bring both of these the outfits and the different emotions into the app. That’s pretty much all I have to say. Amazing game haven’t been disappointed. Good work!

Needs Improvements. It’s a really good app where you have the option of fantasising about your deepest desires and experiencing stories in first person, however... their’s some elements in this app that it should work on to further satisfy gamers such as myself. For instance, for every chapter you finish in a story you get rewarded 1 gem. However, in some stories, there’s times where there are golden options available but costs like 25+ gems, and you could have up to 5 golden options in the one chapter! So the ratio of that is unfair and we’d either have to go out of way to purchase gems or even play other episodes to be rewarded one gem after finishing that chapter. Also, after completing a story on episode, if we wish to replay that whole story, we should be given free passes to replay all of it, not that we have to wait to for more passes to play it again. Nevertheless, it’s overall a good app that gives you realism and makes readers more engaged to reading in an unconventional sort of way, but there’s areas that needs improvement.

Great game definitely recommend, although few things I would change. Really enjoy this game, I downloaded it on an old phone and sad to see that I could transfer the date due to having an iPhone so I had to redownload the game meaning I had read episodes original stories before I could unlock the all the story’s which I’m perfectly fine with because you only have to read about one story (18 episodes i think) and I wouldn’t enjoy that but the gemssss!!!?? You get one gem per episode and it almost always cost more than about 20 gems to actually choice the good options which I think is absolutely ridiculous there is no way you could get those gems without purchasing them. I think 5 gems would be much more responsible considering you have about 2-5 choices an episode. I also think the waiting period between ticket refills should be shortened, 4 hours!! Just to get 2-4 tickets depending on how long you’ve had the game, but you can shorten the wait be watching ads witch I really love even though you can’t do it all the time and you have to watch about 5 ads. Other than that great game so many good stories to choose from and lots of genres and episode makes very inclusive stories, you can pick your gender, sexuality and ethnicity witch I think is great.

Episodes. Omg I don’t even have words to tell you how amazing and fun this game is, you get to make ur own character and customise what it looks like.I also noticed that you could choose ur own interest boy or girl but here is some glowing and growing feedback. The glowing feedback for this game is that it’s very fun especially when you have nothing to do,It never gets boring!, one growing feedback about this game is that when I tell you it’s hard to get gems I mean it even with the tickets like for example I have to play one chapter to get 1 gem and wait 3 and a half hours to get tickets so I can read and experience the new stories or even the one that I’m on. I think this game episodes should update and make the choices a bit cheaper on top of that maybe ride the pay checks of the gems? Because some people don’t have money to buy gems. Other wise this game is awesome and I love the features, stories, and even more!

Bad but good 📕. I love episode but reading other comments there right all the scenes you want to read are so expensive like 28 gems for the two love interests to go late night swimming to get closer to each other. But I still love this app I’ve played it for about 5 years and the way the characters look are very detailed and all the beautiful art scenes are amazing I’m a fan of the romantic story’s or fantasy I have a heart for my alien lover I would give that story a solid 10 out of 10 but anyways you guys can pick your own story’s and I just get so irritated when I have to wait a few days to play a story or I pay gems but it’s only some story’s so that’s alright unless it’s left on a cliffhanger this game is my life still so people who read the comments on apps which isn’t really me but just give it a go if it’s not for you then actually i don’t know just do what you do I hope this game doesn’t get kicked of the AppStore because one of my all time favorite game when I was younger was land sky I think and it got deleted :( but anyway have an amazing life viewers of episode ❤️

You don’t need gems. I have been playing choices for about 5 years. I do the monthly subscription a few months a year. But other wise I don’t spend on it. I am able to read great stories and support the authors with gems - how you ask? Community stories! They are amazing. You don’t need gems to choose nice clothes over ugly clothes or to make good choices over nasty choices. This is one of the best free interactive story apps out there. There are opportunities to get more gems by getting a 2x shards for 30 mins in the gumball then watching all the ads you can in that time. (Approx 30-40 gems). With community stories the gem support is not compulsory, it’s voluntary. You can support as little as 5-8 gems for the whole 60 chapters. I will give them all my gems because it’s a LOT of work to do!!! Episode stories can be good, but as many others have stated the free choices are ridiculous. That being said I can’t even count how many times I’ve played one for rewards and laughed my backside off at how horrible the characters and outfits are. Screen shot then sent to my friends. It’s still entertainment. The book club is great! Now I can talk to people about the stories we are loving and recommend to each other. It makes it so much more enjoyable <3 thank you episodes! I look forward to having better wardrobe options for curvy avatars. We aren’t in the real world - it shouldn’t be this hard to wear a nice fit because I’m curvy in the digital world 😭 that’s my only beef x

Episode Review. I really enjoy episode and I’ve had the app for about a year now. I find that it’s not only fun but a great way to pass time. I also love the way you let people get creative and make their own stories which is one of the things I love most about episode. Some ways I think this app could be improved is if you give out two diamonds for each episode you complete or if you don’t have to spend as many diamonds for special choices or outfits. This is because I find myself, and many people I know not enjoying the story because you have to start other stories to collect more diamonds from before you continue and you lose interest in the original story you were reading. I also think that you could bring out some more stories that are a little more original because the last few stories I’ve read have been quite similar. Overall I really love episode and if you took some of these ideas into consideration I really think that episode could be even better!

I love this game but…. I love episode so much. Everyone I know loves it too but we all have the same problem. Our parents won’t let us buy any of the deals so we can’t get the diamonds 💎. I never have any diamonds and only getting one per chapter, that’s not really enough. But if I was to say anything else, the episodes need more romance like I want all the romance that I can get 💋. It’s so good but I’m just not enjoying having to turn down opportunities that only people with parents that don’t care can get the deals and packages 📦. I don’t need to stress my parents out anymore so I am wondering if there is a way to get more fems. It was hard enough to get this game. I am in a very serious relationship right now and this game gives me tips so that is why I enjoy it. It’s based on real life and I enjoy the episode ‘ Love on fire 🔥’ so yeah I really need more gems 💎. Other than that this game is amazing!!!

OUTFITS, BACKGROUNDS, EMOTIONS, ACTIONS. I love this app so much! Personally its my escape from reality and a great way to be creative and share and create stories. But i have a few issues id like to bring up. Emotions, backgrounds, clothing and so on why is it all available on episode interactive but not on the mobile app? I don't think it's fair. Not everyone has access or can afford computers and so on. While you can go onto episode interactive on a mobile phone, it doesn't exactly work and its disappointing for so many users that we don't have the opportunity to actually pick clothing and create outfits , we don't have many options for backgrounds and we don't have many options for our characters actions or emotions, its disappointing. Im sure I'm not the only user of the mobile app that feels this way. This is so many people's way of escaping reality of expressing themselves, being creative! Please, please, please take this into consideration! This would improve the mobile app so much as the majority of us use the mobile app! Please add more backgrounds, give us the opportunity to select out of the clothing options and create our own outfits and give us more options for our characters actions and emotions!!

Episode on my iPad. On my iPad I have episode, and I’ve had this iPad for about 2 years and episode has been on there for the 2 years and I had read about twenty stories and had fifteen more that I had to continue on and one day about a month ago ALL of my stories were gone ALL the ones I had to continue were gone. I was about to finish the watchers, I thought mabey it’s just a mistake?, so I turned off my iPad for about one hour and got back on the game, it was still the same so I left it one night and got back on it the next day and IT STILL was the same from the start, and I’ve had to do all my stories again ( I forgot to mention I still have all my diamonds) so I started with the watchers when I used up all of my tickets I turned it off and got back on it that night, BUT it had restarted all over again from the very beginning! Now I can’t finish off the stories because every time I try to read another story then turn it off for the night it just starts again. So please is there anything you can do so I can have all my stories back please. But other than that it is the best app in my phone.

Disappointed. I have been playing this game for years now I have completed many stories and while that took a long time waiting and waiting and waiting for tickets I was fine with that but, recently they added this gem system for creators stories/chapters were you have to pay gems in their story to get a exclusive scene or pay gems for early access. Now I understand that creators spend a lot of time on these stories but in my opinion this is ruining the game even more, I have never and will never purchase gems from the store (mainly because I’m broke ) to get this stuff actually I went to community made stories for this reason they never made you pay gems to progress and get a good ending it was all for free and with some creators like episode there hella greedy they might make you spend 10 gems to get a special scene or make u pay 15 gems for early access. The only form of gem use in community that I got no problem with is the end were u can support a creator since it doesn’t impact the story or waiting time. Honestly I just don’t understand why this is happening and why this game decided to do this :/

Someone look at this... I like this app I like how you can change your characters names and features but I think you should be able to change your character looks and clothing after you started the game so you do it first like at the start of the game but then you can also change it whenever you want throughout the game so if you want to change your hairstyle you can go change it and I think it is absolutely ridiculous that it costs 30 gems to pick a choiceAnd you only get one after every episode it should be five at most and I was just reading a story and I got up to my third episode then it says I need to pay 16 diamonds or I need to wait 11 hours to get the next six episodes that is the most stupid thing ever it’s like I’ve got my time past things I know you’re making me pay diamonds to unlock the next six episodes or I gotta wait 11 hours you already go to wait three hours when you run out of themThings we need to useOne every time you read one episode this is getting ridiculous it’s not good someone should really update it and change it to something reasonable...

I don’t like this. I don’t like that this game does not give a daily Diamond reward. It would honestly be way easier.

trop d'achats. Se jeux et bien mais, on dois toujours acheter des gemmes pour avoir des conversation intéresante.😡

Ehh. Will delete the app eventually if it doesn’t stop being unfair with the gem requirements. I love to read, but everything is so expensive and that’s not fair.

Rip off need a refund. My child who is only 10 years old used one of my phones to play these games in my absence and ended up paying so much money for the same, she told me later that she kept getting prompted to purchase. I was shocked to see a $58 charge then $28 then $14 and more. I have limited resources and am a single parent and I got ripped off. Apple is always reasonable with refunds and my reasons were always valid but I submitted a request for refunds citing unapproved purchases and my requests were constantly denied! How am I going to afford these?

Hi. As much as I love the game I think the creators should put in more than a few passes at a time and I also think it’s kinda silly to be waiting 3 hours 20 minuites and 12 seconds. But if you are going to have any passes they’re should be more or you should have infinity passes. But over all I love the game!

Terrible!!!!. I got this because I was bored, ignored all the one star ratings and bad reviews just because sometimes their wrong! I played for less than 20 minutes, then deleted it. First of all: it took so long just to get into the actual story, and once you’re in, it lets you do NOTHING! I only got to make to choices in the time I played, and here is what they were: Go to the VIP area with your crush or chicken out and tell him to go with your enemy, and this: Go swimming like everyone else or chicken out. Sounds easy, right? Just pick the first option! But there’s a catch. The first option for both of them can only be chosen if you pay 15 diamonds! You start with zero diamonds and you only get one diamond per portion of the story you finish. ONE!!! Basically what I’m saying is even someone like me, who plays it for 20 minutes, can tell it’s one of those games that convinces you to pay for diamonds to do the good choices. And those are never worthwhile games. My advice: go play subway surfers or snake io. Those are much more fun, more reliable, FREE games. And NEVER download this app. Thank you.

Disgusting. This needs a PG rating…it’s appearing in ads in kids games. Apple, do better. Misogynistic sexist crap.

My daughter was obsessed. When my daughter first found out about the app she ran to me and was begging me to get it for her and at first I was I thought it was an innocent game but a couple of weeks later I noticed she was not letting her phone go and I was worried. One time I was driving and we were at a red light I asked her to maybe take a break from her phone but once I said it she started to turn her head slowly and say “leave me alone!” And proceeded to bark bark bark at me. I was very c concerned at that point I kept telling her in the most Play way that I could too stop spending so much time on her phone. She was barking and saying how much she needed this game and how this game is the reason she is still alive I know this sounds awful what I’m about to say but it needed to be done. I got so sick of it that I took her phone and she bit me! The I threw ur phone out of the car window at this point she was so mad we started fighting and it got physical we were fighting each other so hard that we eventually got out of the car that started traffic and at the end of it I won. But anyways it’s a fun game and all but too much money on the diamonds. ❤️😊 #WAP

5 hour wait. why do we have to wait 5 hours to read on. i personally find it dumb and it will make users delete the app

Great!. Episode is a great game! But, all the “episode stories” cost a lot of diamonds, which costs money...I recommend to play community stories instead! They are way better and all free! It is more realistic, you get to support the author😊It also has longer episodes😍 If anyone sees this...PLAY COMMUNITY STORIES! They are amazing 💕

so manipulative.... this game is so incredibly manipulative.. like i just want to make one good choice and it baits you in so far.. then its like lol nope to enjoy the game at all you gotta pay!! some of the options really make me feel like a bad person and i dont like it.. please change this or make the gems easier to obtain.. its so stupid..

So creepy 🧐😱. I was looking at the comments and somebody said something about a weird sound and they where not wrong I tried it and there was a creepy sound so if I could put -100000 I would put it don’t download 😖

My child is traumatized from this game. This game should not be coming up for ads on kids games. My child was playing a word game and this ad popped up. I don’t think this should be allowed to be on the internet. I downloaded it to see it and it was disgusting and racist . I saw the reviews that other people liked this but this is my opinion I think it is weird and gross. My child was traumatized

Help!! Fix please. Can we not make our own story on mobile no more?

They literally ruined the app. I used this for like 6 years and their new updates literally ruined it to the point where I don’t even wanna play it anymore. They make you wait literally five days just to read the an episode. I deleted the app because it’s just a waste of space on my phone. 100% do not recommend.

It’s good. If u don’t want to spend diamonds bc ur broke af, then read the community ones, they’re better. Some stories only have 3 episodes and then u have to wait for a timer to finish or pay diamonds but some stories don’t. YOU JUST HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT STORIES. And there are a lot of stories that are awesome in communities. U can also watch ads for diamonds so idk what the issue is ngl

This should be rated 17+. This is a very disgusting game, I can’t believe it’s available for kids 12 and older.

Good choices costs so many gems. I think it's a little lame that they often give us no choice to the story as the “good” choices costs like 29 gems….. it’s crazy! You might as well read a book as you don’t really have an impact on the story of you don’t pay

You should make another app for us to create a story. I love the app but I want you to allow to make episodes on the mobile app or make another app to create an episode. And allow us to make out own outfits

Meh. Stories are great but there are too many ads, you have to spend way too much money way too often, and you either get the choice of something great for $$ or the worst possible answer - there's no other option.

The new update. It was good before the big update now... we can’t make our own stories we can’t pick what category we like. It was better before it didn’t need any fixing. Please put it back how it was :)

I can’t restart it I turned gay now it’s straight !!!. Bad

not worth it. not even worth it. paying money just to make better choices in the story is a rip off. i just uninstalled the app cuz of this. i can find other apps that dont require money. goodbye

🪦. I used to love reading like psychopath obsessed stories but now it just crash’s and won’t let me in again

It's so so, don't buy gems though!. The ads are really annoying since they play twice. Sometimes, the stories have extremely short chapters so have to endure more ads! Also, sometimes the "better" choice requires you to pay which sucks, and sometimes if you have enough gems to chose the "better" option it's not even worth it at the end. So for the gems, don't waste your money of them (unless you want to). If not the stories are okay, some are quite cheesy, while others are funny and interesting.

Keep reading. This app is great if you are looking for something light to read and to take your mind off things for a sec. But yes some stories demand to spend gems or you are left with choices that are obviously wrong, but some are enjoyable whitout having to spend a dime.

Nonbinary characters?. I love this game but it doesn’t sit right with me and probably many others how there’s no they/them pronoun option anywhere ? it would make it more comfy for so many people + more media attention trust me it’ll help you guys get more people playing

stop making us wait 11 hours ever fee chapters ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️. please and thank u

Over Priced. Dear Episode, The app itself is fantasic. Can’t get enough! My problem is that the gems and passes are overpriced and the target consumers are young girls. They can’t pay what your asking. They could go and steal a debit card from their parents to see what happens next. Thats not something we should be teaching. Pay to play. Maybe watch an add for gems or passes. You would still make money. Sorry for being an SJW.

Love episode. I love the app but when do you think you will update the demi lovato series I can't wait to see the next episode 😊😊🤔🤔

Just a question... My mom says if there is one for kids I can have she doesn’t approve of some of the things that are on this app.. so if you could think you could make a kids one? I think a lot more people would play, also here’s an idea.. I see a lot of people complaining about prices what if it goes off another choice so you don’t have to spend money! You could still have tickets, so you will still get profit but people can be happy and play the same! Thanks for listening!

Racist. This game is so racist (or idk how to use it) anyways it’s just rude and not right. Please fix this!

Épisode. J’aime trop épisode Ç le meilleur mes vous donner trop de pour on plus a un ticket comme moi il faut 3:00 et la il reste 1:00 pour un ticket

Gems, gems , gems. I used to love this app. I even spent money on it to binge read user stories. Now it make after almost every episode I read I have to wait 1 to 5 hours to continue a story, which is ridiculous.

So greedy. At this point this app is basically just for people who have money

broken. i've been playing this app for 2 years or so so i have a lot of stories saved up. now no matter what i do there is an error with the episode servers. i don't want to delete the app because of my progress. i have run into this problem multiple times.

Waste. You can’t even play the game properly without spending money. You either pay money for diamonds or you get dumb choices. Such a waste of a download.

Problem. the app won’t load

Not a fun or a good game. The game isn't great. It advertises itself as a choices game but it's not. On some occasions, certain "choices" are locked unless you use diamonds to choose them. This usually happens when there are two choices, with one very favourable and the other not at all. Unfortunately, diamonds need to bought with real money. So unless you're willing to cash out on a dumb little choices game, you'll be making less favourable choices throughout the game. This is a "pay to choose" game. Not fun at all.

Not worth it. Used to be such a great app but now it sucks because you don’t even get choices without spending money. All the choices that are more favourable are locked and can only be unlocked with an insane amount of gems. The ones that aren’t locked are usually terrible choices too. You don’t care about the enjoyment of anyone who downloads this anymore, you just care about the money.

Episode. I used to love episode but now when our I try to do a story the ads don't work. After some of the ads, it just turns write and you can do nothing. I ALWAYS have to keep do the ads and it never works 😡😭😡😭😭ALSO the update I got doesn't work because I'm making a story and when i go to my characters it glitches out

What has our world come to. Seriously, what the hell has our world come to.

Absolutely atrocious.. This game is utterly and extremely click-baited and appropriate for my taste.

GEMS GEMS GEMS!. The game is fun aside from not being able to play it. I get you have to make money but literally every single good option costs gems. The only way to make gems is by either paying for it or getting one a chapter. Every single good option costs about 15+ gems. Also, there should be an easier and quicker way to make gems WITHOUT PAYING! Like a log in streak, watching ads or being able to make them somehow in each story. EX: You got on this girls good side 3+ gems!

truly greedy. the game creators do not care about making this game good all they want is money. if you dont spend money you arent truly making any decision theyll all turn out the same it was good years and years ago but now its just repetitive and you dont truly get to choose your own story its just like every other pay to play game that doesnt truly care about their consumers

😐. y’all have gotten money hungry as hell

Devastated. Episode use to be a really good game where you could read others stories. romance drama action! and now you have pay diamonds to continue reading after three episodes 😒 not to mention every frickin story seems to make buy the choice with diamonds mandatory RUINS THE WHOLE APP!!! and I stg if I have one more basic choice that’ll cost me diamonds I’m deleting the app!!! Used to be my fave game made me interested in telling stories myself I’m more than disappointed.

Not as fun anymore. I’ve always loved reading episode stories but now it’s not so fun anymore. The choices for gems and waiting 11+ hours to read a story is ridiculous! Especially in times like now with COVID-19 when people rely on things like this to keep them at home, or for those whose parents or themselves have lost jobs and cannot afford gem choices, this is so not fair! Gem choices was not a good decision on Episode’s part.

Love it!!!. I have been reading episodes for almost a year I think and I've never been disappointed with it :) I of coarse only read the completed stories too so I don't have to wait ;) and sometimes it sucks to run out of passes so quickly but with the right stories that have longer chapters it works out fine :) I love this app!!!

Episode. I miss the old episode where it was easier to create your own story can we have it back plz🙂

More tickets and diamonds please!!!. I love this game, i love the romance, but when i have to wait three hours to get only four tickets, it is so annoying! I have four suggestions, 1: when we finish and episode, plz give up 2 or more diamonds! Because when we don’t have enough diamonds to get good stuff in the story, it kinda almost ruins the whole story!!! 2: more tickets plz, like, maybe 1 every hour or 2! Because when i am at a really good part of the story, and the episode is over and i don’t have any tickets left, it makes me mad! 3: make it so it doesn’t take 3 hours to ONLY GET 4 tickets! It is a waste of time! Because when i run out of tickets, and then i wait, but then i do something, and then i come back the next day, i only get 4 tickets, and it is VERY annoying! 4:make it so we can reread the story! Because when i really like a story, i will want to reread it, but i can’t which is upsetting and annoying, but I love the app besides all of those issues, and u should get it is u don’t mind the issues! I love the romance. Well….might have a suggestion, if u can’t make it so the time is shorter, make it so we can pay for tickets with diamonds, like 1 ticket is 1 diamond, and 2 tickets are 2 diamonds, and 4 tickets are 4 diamonds, and 13 tickets are 10 diamonds! Plz!

A few flaws, but I love it!!. I don’t like the fact that I have to wait for what feels like an eternity to get passes, but that kind of sticks to the realism to the fact that these are still “episodes”. In real life on tv, if there’s a cliffhanger, we still have to wait for what feels like an eternity before the next episode shows. I also am not too fond that there aren’t many diamonds received after an episode, and I really hate when there are two options: one that costs diamonds (aka the better choice in some cases) and the other that’s free but would let someone down, or make someone sad, or something like that, and I can’t afford the better choice. I do spend my diamonds every now and then, but I think we as the readers should obtain more after each episode that offers diamonds. To add on, it’s also really frustrating when the better choice is outrageously expensive. Overall, though, I think the pros outweigh the cons by a landslide, because the stories themselves are truly brilliant! I am frustrated about not having enough passes after each episode because of a cliffhanger, and I really want to know what happens next!! There are some amazing writers on episode. I haven’t found a story yet that I don’t like!!!

New Episode Updates. I’m not sure how long this new update has been going on for but I truly don’t like it. I’ve been with episode ever since they created their app and there has been too many changes since then. I truly don’t like the new VIP subscription simply because it’s too expensive and I can go buy really good books to read for that price or less. I don’t like how they are allowing writers to practically force us readers to use gems in order to read more chapters. I’d rather wait the allotted time to read than spend extra money buying gems. Some people may be okay with that but I prefer not to spend the extra money. Some stories aren’t like that and I read the more mature ones so it’s basically the ones that people spend hundreds of dollars on their story covers and art through out their stories. I can see how their doing that to make their money back but also too no one told them to spend that kind of money either. I’m just not with the whole new updated version of Episode and I really feel like some things should be changed. I think us watching ads before we read an episode or chapter should be enough money being made since their are beyond millions of people on episode.

Why Do We Have To Wait 3 Hours for 2 Passes?!. I’ve been using Episode on and off for about four years now, and to be honest, I love the app so much. There’s good stories, good drama, good animation, but some things REALLY annoy me, and they aren’t small things, they’re actually pretty basic things that make Episode what it is. First off... there’s no reason at all that we, your loyal gamers, should have to wait 3-4 hours for a measly 2 passes, or else we have to pay to get passes. I mean, come on, you’d have to be crazy to think that people would actually keep your game after realizing that you’d either have to pay or wait extremely long to read stories that take a maximum 10 minutes to read. And you do realize that the only reason I and others do stay is because we are loyal and like the game and where it’s headed. We have hope for it, but we will leave soon if you don’t stop this shenanigans. Second, why do the friggin gems have to be so expensive and why do you have to pay 24 gems to do something as little as defending your self against a bully? Come on... If you guys don’t fix this problem I may be forced to delete this game, so please fix it soon.

Episode.. Episode is one of my favorite apps ever. You get to design your own character in most stories. Most people don’t like the gem stories because they want to do a choice they “have” to make but they don’t have 10 or 15 gems and they don’t wanna buy them. That’s ok just read a non gem story written by authors in the community. You get 4 passes every 2 hours or sometimes if your lucky every 30 minutes! After you use your 4 passes you might earn 1 or 2 passes or you can earn 1 or 2 gems and save them up if you really wanna read a gem story or if you wanna skip the ads. You can even make your own story on the computer. You can only publish the ones on the computer there are more options for clothing and other things on the computer. On mobile devices you can make a story but there are less choices and you can’t really do much on mobile when it comes to making story’s. Episode story’s are full of thrill and excitement, love and heartbreak. If you don’t like the mature themes on episode then read the stories that don’t have it. The authors warn you at the beginning of the story if there is mature content. Even if there is it’s not like bad bad. It’s just a few bad words. I would recommend episode to everyone!

Would give full stars if it weren’t for these issues!!. Hi, my name is Maddie and I got episode a few weeks ago after having it for a year and deleting it. I noticed right away that 1, you only have 2 passes, and 2, you have to unlock Six or seven stories to get the full catalog. I wouldn’t mind having to unlock some stories if it weren’t for the fact that, to get a story, you have to read 3 episodes. For some people,it’s not that bad to wait for a pass refill, but for me personally, I don’t want to have to wait 2 days to unlock one story. This issue wasn’t the one I’m really upset about. The issue I’m upset about is that (1) when I tried to log in to my old account, it wouldn’t let me. And (2) while trying to read an episode in the story “a little more me”, I couldn’t read the last episode I needed to unlock the full catalog. I tried reading my other stories because I thought that it was just something wrong with that specific story, but it was still not letting me read!! I restarted the game but it still didn’t work, I reset my WiFi and data plan but it didn’t work, AND I turned off my phone,restarted it, and opened episode, AND IT STILL DID NOT WORK!!!! I’m not saying that this is a bad game, but seriously, if the developer(s) is reading this, please fix this 🥺 - from M♏️

Do y’all read these reviews ?. I came to write a review because of the diamond situation. & immediately get on here and see MAJORITY of the reviews are that the story lines are good. Which I agree they’re amazing ! But the diamonds for correct answers are a problem. This is basically what I came on here to say as well. Why do correct choices cost sooo many diamonds (29, 19, etc)? But y’all give us no opportunities to really gain diamonds without paying for them? It’s like I can never play a story how I want to because the diamonds cost so much. We only get one Diamond per episode we finish & that’s about the only way to earn them. So by the end of the story I’ve made 15 diamonds cause most stories are 15 episodes yet one correct choice in a episode is 29 diamonds ? It doesn’t even make sense. It just seems really money hungry. & that’s why I play this every once in a blue moon hoping when I get on again things have changed but they still haven’t. I’ve bought diamonds before, but after 3 choices in one story I’d have to spend more money. Y’all don’t even give us the opportunity to pick a choice that makes sense. The choice that’s free is always rejection or being rude or something you know none of us would want. Can we make the game a little more fair ?

Fun but too many diamonds!. The only thing I don’t like about this game is all the choices that require diamonds! When I am playing the game, I have noticed that when there is a diamond choice, it’s not one option but two that you have to pay for and one isn’t as good as the top one but is less expensive. That leaves you with one choice if you don’t have/don’t want to spend diamonds. The free choice is usually not good and can ruin your relationship even though you can’t do anything about it so I will find myself quitting that story because of those choices. There was another review that suggested that instead of using diamonds for choices, making the choices all free and the diamonds used to get more tickets. This review also suggested making mini games where you can earn up to 5 diamonds and I think that this would improve the game a lot. That being said, I like this game because you get to shape your own story (more or less) while also getting engaged into other people’s stories. It’s just overall fun and enjoyable with so many stories to choose from. If you can back me up on this theory(btw thanks to dodgegirl97 for coming up with this) then we might actually be able to get them to change the app. Pls support this in other comments so that the app creators will listen!

Can I give negative stars at the moment ??. I used to have high hopes for this app. I mean, REALLY high hopes. I knew they could go places (if they did everything correctly). These past couple of years I’ve noticed them take a HUGGGGE step back. I don’t know what happened. They have gone from ignoring writers and readers when they are being harassed (especially POC of the community, they didn’t do anything about it), to having very bad communication skills with the writers and the community, to not sticking up for POC on the forums when people are saying hateful and disgusting things to them (yes, Jeremey i’m talking about YOU) and NOW they are STEALING writers stories and claiming them as their OWN and saying they are ORIGINAL. i don’t know what happened to this app (and the people working for it) but i do know i can’t support an app who clearly don’t care for EVERYONE equally. I just can’t. I want to support the writers on the app that I love, but now I might have to find other ways to support them. Please, please, please be mindful when downloading and using it. It’s more than a reading app, there are REAL people creating these wonderful stories and i don’t like them being taken advantage of and losing something that took hard work and means a lot to them. I’ll probably stick with other interactive reading/games for now.

Very Happy. Me and episode have had our tough times but I am happy to say that things have gotten better! I absolutely adore the stories I am finding, though some categories (horror/thriller) I wish I saw more of in the recommendations. I am very glad to see that we can have a refill of passes every four hours now(and thank goodness for that or else I wouldn’t be on it as much) Though some things have gotten to me... but it isn’t to any of the creator’s fault or a big problem, really, I just find it annoying. Most of the stories MC are girls, which is fine and everything but I would just love it if I could see more male MC’s (and also “fan mail”. ) Fan mail, love the idea but wish I could have a chat with the authors or just tell them have done an awesome job.. I don’t know if it’s just me but I think a chat room would be awesome! Plus diamonds. . . Yeah that’s been a thorn in my side but since we can gain them through reading a chapter of episode’s published books it wasn’t a big problem unless you actually want to spend gems. I know it’s a way for people to spend money but I think maybe five times a day we can watch an ad for a diamond(s). Anyhoo, overall am awesome app and I love the way the animation looks— it keeps getting better and better in my opinion.(oh and!) HAPPY NEW YEARS 🥳🎊🎉

Great App but... I love episode and they even have themed months, for example “Pride Month”, they made episodes based on pride and i loved it! I just don’t like how when you try to make episodes on your phone, you can’t do much. I don’t have a computer so I would like to do it on my phone but it is hard and there isn’t much actions you can put. Also when stories created by Episode itself, you have to pay gems for the right choices but you have to end up picking the worst one because you don’t have enough of it is just too much. 20 gems for an outfit? Just for better dialogue? No thanks. And you only get one gem for playing those games. Its hard to save up a lot. In the end you are progressing with the story just not with better dialogue and choices but im sure it’s the same ending. I just wish we wouldn't have to pay so many gems for gold choices. But there are other amazing episodes that give a great experience so it’s best to check those out if you don’t want to spend gems. If there could be an update that helps with making stories on episode and the gems that would be great. Maybe make it like 5 gems for an outfit if you really don’t want to take that out. Overall it’s a good app. Thanks episode.

This app would be awesome if?. The one thing I truly hate about this app is the amount of gems 💎 you have to use for choosing what you want to do in a story !! It’s totally ridiculous that you only get one 💎 at a time after each chapter verses the amount of gems 💎 you need to use if you wanted to do the challenges in the stories .. oh and the amount of money you have to pay to even buy some is a rip off !! I bought some and feel I got ripped of !! I’ve tried getting into it and did do a few stories but the outcome was always really disappointing because half the time you cannot do what you really would like to do .. it be ok if it be 2 or 3 gems 💎 needed to perform the challenges but it be ridiculous from 20 💎 to 35 💎 on most stories.. and the tickets 🎫 are somewhat fair to keep reading but also get disappointing .. it be a lot more fun if it was reasonable.. Also the earn gems 💎 button doesn’t work for me at all!! If this wasn’t the case I totally like this app!! But am definitely gonna delete it now! And believe me I totally get that people need their profits but come on be reasonable!! Oh & by the way I totally don’t get why people rate this app 4 stars rating when they know they cant accomplish a lot of stories challenges without paying so much !! Smh unbelievable 😮 I wish this would change because then I totally would recommend this app!! But as of now am gonna just delete it and go back to reading regular stories!!

Awesome app! but.... I have been using this app for probably over a year now, and I think the app is very great! I love how there’s a lot of stories, and drama, romance, comedies, there’s always interesting plot twists. These are fun to read, and I love the animations to it! I definitely suggest this app because there are a bunch of stories to read, it’s very fun too! I love picking out stories and getting to pick my own options, it’s like your in the story! I gave it a 4 star rating because.. I feel like we have to use every good thing for gems. Like during the story, to dress a cute outfit I need to spend like 29 gems. And gems are really hard to earn, especially if your not gonna buy it for money. And to get rid of ads it’s gems. I feel like every good thing is gems. Mostly in stories. So I recommend to either lower the price so if I want to wear a nice outfit maybe make it 15 gems or 10. Or, make some things not be gems at all. Because I can’t always spend my REAL money on purchasing some gems. But after all I think the app is amazing. A very creative, fun, app. It’s like a dream come true. But please make the gem problem better. Because I feel so upset when i have to always go with the boring option since I don’t have enough gems. Definitely recommend this app! Install it if your up for it :)

I adore this game but.... UPDATE: Now they have subscriptions. 2.99 weekly which is almost $150 a year. 7.99 a month which is almost $100 a year and then annually is $40 which is the one I would suggest if you decide to spend money on subscribing. The gems are not the only issue, now I’m not getting tickets at all. They are not being replenished after a few hours like before. I don’t know what’s going on but I hope they fix it. I’d rather pay for the app a month with unlimited passes and pay for gems IF I choose to. Having to pay for both seems greedy to me. I’m hoping this gets better because I love the stories and have had the app for over 2 years but if this doesn’t change I might have to delete it. The only problem I have is the GEMS. The amount of gems we have to use during the episode is insane. .99 for 10 gems, 1.99 for 22 gems, 4.99 for 60 gems but the kicker is usually you need 25 gems(sometimes 15)just to make romantic moves, wear something nice, or do or see something important & fun for the story. 25 gems per episode of 20 episodes is 500 gems which is worth around $50😒. That’s if you’re not playing something super popular like Pretty Little Liars which I remember them asking for well OVER a 100 gems in ONE EPISODE to make what seems like really important choses to where you feel like you have to buy them😩 I am fully aware you don’t need gems to read the story but I hate how they try to make you feel obligated to buy them.

Insane monetization. The only stories worth reading on the app are the community stories. I used to buy the 9.99 unlimited chapter pass to read. Now it is 15 dollars for the “amethyst” pass for basically the same thing. However, it is now a subscription vs a one time purchase, so I have to be ready to cancel if I can’t find anything I want to read. This could all be forgivable, but now they’ve put a lot of pressure on community authors to offer gem choices. A lot of people don’t want the good options to be hidden under a paywall, so they opt to have readers have to wait 12-48 hours before they can continue reading the story—even on fully published stories. Makes the subscription I bought feel totally worthless if I can’t read more than a chapter or two before hitting a paywall. Y’all need to restructure a lot. If someone has purchased the VIP pass, having paywalls like that make it so they are unlikely to buy again. Yeah, you got my 15 dollars now, but you’re not getting another cent out of me until this option is gone. And pay your community authors something decent. You know that they are the main reason you have any revenue. You have them recreate their stories for you so you don’t have to come up with new “episode” brand stories. Except, of course, you rewrite moments for then that are extremely dumb so that way a person has to spend gems to get anything good to happen. Honestly. What a freaking joke of an app.

This is an amazing game. This is honestly a great game being that I’m in quarantine it’s one of the main apps I use lol but I one I thing I’m suggesting is maybe we should be able to use our diamonds to buy tickets maybe just a suggest though but this is really a great game and the stories are so interesting and actually keep me entertained during this time of boredom 😂this is really not even a problem at all so don’t take this as a complaint but omg I have to wait 3 whole hours for another two tickets like omg but this is an amazing game I’ve had it for a whole 2 years now and I just have to say it’s honestly very addictive and entertaining another suggestion is maybe you should add bigger choices ! Like that affect how the story plays out like how the whole thing goes like changing the entire story type choices and also can you do a free way to earn diamonds because I was playing just today and I really wanted to confess to my loved but I didn’t have enough diamonds please have free ways to get diamonds like watching adds or have a wheel you can spin at least two or three times a day or even one is reasonable but please have different ways it would probably get you more ratings and people might emoji more !

Why. I downloaded this game as a joke and mostly out of boredom, but why am I addicted!!! I find some things really annoying which are in order #1) if you do the stories that are promoted on the front page of the app the gems are basically required to do good in the game and this game is promoted towards 12+ so that’s asking kids to use money on a game... how much sense does that make. Also, the outfit differences between the gem outfits and the regular is really annoying they give you the choice between a perfect outfit and an either destroyed, ugly, or just confusing outfit and your character always makes some type of petty response about. It’s so irritating #2) the whole “ticket” set up is really irritating too. I don’t understand why you have to wait 4 hours to be able to start another season or whatever, OR again you can pay for it but 12 year olds don’t have money..?? I understand the need for companies to make money but it’s seriously irritating. You shouldn’t be putting into kids minds if you don’t have money you basically fail at life situations it’s just not okay. Why am I getting mad over the fact I need gems to wear the cute outfit to a fake party to impress a nonexistent ex. And why have I actually spent money on this app, which is how I know the money makes a difference. I took off 2 stars for those reason but the game is fun and a good stress reliever at times.

diamonds. ok so this app is really fun and interactive but obviously there’s a huge problem with the game. it is literally NEAR IMPOSSIBLE to get gems and when you do, you have to spend them all on a choice that barely makes a difference in the story. most of the users on this app are children and teens and they don’t have the money to be spending 20 bucks on 100 gems that will get used on choices that should already be available to us. most choices are around 20-30 gems, but it is so hard to get gems. i think that it should either be easier to get gems (through ads, challenges, etc.) or that the choices should be a lot cheaper to make the gem/choice ratio more balanced. i also think it’s unfair that if we don’t spend any gems it causes a huge difference on our characters but if we do spend gems, it barely does anything. for example, if we choose to use gems on a cute prom dress, we’ll get a few compliments from our crush but if we don’t spend gems, we have to wear an old victorian dress and ruin the prom. i know that the reason behind making gems so unattainable is so you guys can make money, but please keep in mind the feelings of your readers because they are the reason you are even making money. i would also like to point out that this app seems to have a lot more hackers and cheats than other apps. i don’t think this is a coincidence.

I love the game but... So I’ve been playing the game for at least 4 years, so obviously it’s a great game. I love the stories that show from others! But I never read the stories you create because what’s the point? You guys always have the gems like 35+, so you’ll obviously not have any good choices because I’m not gonna spend money on gems. The recent update you guys made let’s people who create stories put gems for choices. Are you serious. If that shows for every story you’re going to lose me as a reader, and I’m sure thousands, maybe even millions of more. Because who wants to read stories knowing they can’t pick what they want? If you guys are wanting to do this lower the prices for gems or jack up the gem amount you get. Some of my favorite stories that I have read in the past, now have the gems put down. Like I get it if the creators wants gems, and they can put it at the end when they ask to support them. It’s annoying. Also the tickets to read why do we have to wait 4 hours to get 4 tickets? I get it like 1 for each hour, why not put two tickets for 1.30 and while the time goes on for the other two tickets, the readers have a chance to read while they wait for the other two. The time thing you guys have to get tickets faster is a good thing to put down even though it only lasts for so long. Please take this into consideration readers and the episode creators

Good Game But Difficult To Enjoy. The stories themselves are really well done, I love the mysterious you get to solve and the established characteristics of each character in the stories. However, it’s difficult to really enjoy the game when you can’t make decisions without diamonds, and the most efficient way to get them is through paying money. I would understand if the diamonds would allow you a bit of extra ( i.e a hidden scene, backstory, etc ) but when how many diamonds you have dictates every little thing you do in the game, your not really enjoying and making up your own adventure. The amount of diamonds you have also dictates the quality and overall experience of a story which is even more disappointing. As well as the animations, most of the moving animations with their poor quality kind of take away from the story itself. Overall, the game is okay. It’s expensive to have a good experience with, but the experience of a story in the game is decent if you have the money to pay for it. I feel like there had to be a line between extra experiences with expeensives and the story itself and I’m having a hard time identify where that line is with this game.

I like this but...... Let me just say that this app has many great stories with great plot lines. I like that you can choose how a story can go. With that being said, however, if you want something good to happen, you will have to pay gems that cost lots of money. I understand you want to make money off of this game which is a really important thing to do, but lots of us don’t really have that much money to burn away. I think it would be better if you had the option to either pay gems or watch an ad to make something good happen in a story. I understand that many gold choices vary greatly in gem values. So I am not sure how this would work out completely. Maybe have interactive ads play for the more expensive stuff? Then maybe a simple ad for the less expensive ones? I know this would kind of defeat the purpose of having gems, so I would think that gems could be used in other ways like buying more tickets/passes if a viewer decides he/she doesn’t want to wait so long for new free tickets/passes. I was also wondering if you would make it to where we can go back to episodes we have already seen and read them again. That way lots of us like me would enjoy reading a story over again that we really liked. I honestly would not mind if we had to pay gems in order to do that since I think it would be totally worth it! ;)

Amazing. I really like episode. It’s really good to get ur mind of things and all. Different genres and types of stories are really exciting to start and play/watch. One thing that is a bit bothering is that most stories created by the community have such a long story. But no matter what choice u pick, it’s the same ending. Like, what’s the point of my choices if it ends the same way.... it’s basically a story to watch. Not play and have a different ending for thing s. Of course, there are a lot other stories that have a lot of different endings and I like those. If episode could have a section that specified different endings that would be cool. And also the love interests in the story( if there is more than one), u always have to pick one on the end. Like it can’t be during the story when u pick the choice of who you spend more time with or who u support more. It’s always the end u pick the important things. Well if there was a rule(not a rule but like a message sent to authors to inform what makes readers happy) that would help a lot. Other than that I love episode and I don’t mind the cost of gems because if u make other choices right, it makes up for it. Like in the “Kiss List”. So that’s only one problem of episode that I want to point out. Thanks for your conideration.

Recommendations:. I love episode! It’s a great way to distract myself from the world around me. I buy ticketed and diamonds all the time but I thought “What If you could by tickets with your diamonds?” Think about it. We buy diamonds to use for skipping ads, or getting a special scene in the chapter. We should be able to use them for buying tickets. I also think that the prices of “special scenes” should decrease. I just bought 150 diamonds and they are almost all gone because each special scene is 20-30 diamonds. It would be better if they costed single digits, or 10-15 diamonds. I like to read the non- episode stories to avoid spending my diamonds. With those “episode stories,” they used to be long and have 10-15 chapters. All of the new ones are fully released with around 8 chapters. You finish the story so quick and it isn’t as enjoyable compared to a story with 20-40 chapters, especially if your putting money into getting diamonds for those “specIal scenes.” Another thing is, when I try to write my own story, the characters are in the original episode character form. I’m not sure how to switch it and I think you might have to pay for it or something. That should be changed.

App is going DOWN HILL. I used to love playing Episode because it was a good time waster but now it’s really gone down hill! For example, you have to pay anywhere from 14-29 diamonds for a simple action like adding a tattoo to your character, and only get back 1 diamond per episode meaning you have to play 14-29 episodes to make one simple choice especially if you really want it. It’d be WAYYYY better if we could at least get more diamonds per episode like maybe 3-4 (WITHOUT CHANGING THE CURRENT CHOICE PRICES!!) that way we could at least be able to make choices without regretting it cause “now you’ve started a new story and there’s a better option” or instead of upping the diamond rewards have a daily wheel that gives diamonds and stuff or let us watch videos to get more diamonds. There are still soo many people who have agreed with me on these points, plus many people have said that by adding choices that people can’t possibly afford has made most of the stories that these authors have worked HARD on terrible, not because of the story line but simply because there aren’t enough diamonds being passed out for the amount of diamonds being asked for per choice. Once this simple little thing is fixed you’ll get a higher rating on your app but until then, I and other people are uninstalling or deleting your app.

Manipulative and awful app. This app is just absolutely sick in the way they try to make money. You will play a story and the most basic answers will cost “diamonds” (real money) to select. For example, in one story I would be helping the love interest battle her fear of heights, and you get the choice to either help her (which you need to spend real money for) or “call her a coward and leave”, a real quote. There is honestly no excuse for this, because they still employ ads so they don’t need this extra money. Why not implement more ads instead of manipulating your players’ basic human emotions to try and milk money out of us? It’s a wonderful game, and a few years ago my review would be much more positive, but the developers have gotten so greedy that it’s blinded them. Another thing is that, in order to simply be ABLE to possibly read the full library of stories (by the way, you can only read one chapter per three hours), you need to read 18 different chapters of the awful, manipulative “episode exclusive” stories. There is a selection of 6 books total, all the same generic girl meets boy boy is bad girl dates boy anyways. I came back to this app after 2 years expecting the same friendly community and safe getaway from this world that I used to enjoy but no, it’s become a money-grabbing scheme and nothing but. I can’t even play it anymore because as someone who is mentally disabled, the manipulation stresses me out beyond belief. You can do better, developers.

Episode. This APP can be addictive. I prefer community or fan made stories to the ones episode produces. For the 2-3 years I have used this app, I chose to purchase “unlimited passes” for $9.99 plus tax each month. It was well worth if for the reading without adds, etc. After an update on this game APP, Episode took away this choice for me and many others. You can read on social media, such as Facebook, that other fans of Episode are not happy. I would have given 5 stars, no problem, if my unlimited passes were still an option. The newer option is to pay $6.99 a WEEK but the perks are only for Episode stories... and do not even apply to the other stories that so many in the community have taken their time to create. I hope Episode will hear the cries of the APP fans and bring back the original $9.99 unlimited each month. Since the $9.99 has disappeared, the only time I really access this app now is to check and see if Episode has had a change of heart and brought back the unlimited deal, or at least something very similar to support it’s community based authors and it’s many fans that read with consistently who support Episode and have for years. If they don’t bring this unlimited pass option back (or something similar) save yourself some time and do not invest...you will be paying a lot for a little.

Everything expensive for no reason. I like the game and all of its types of genre, but I have this a one star because everything mostly about diamonds which makes sense, but some should at least be free to choose. For example when you are choosing an outfit from your closet and it’s a really good outfit, but then you have to use diamonds to wear it. Which makes no sense because it’s your own clothes and your not actually buying from the store, so it should be free since your at home and not at the star, Also some points in the story would cost diamonds but you really need that choice ,so that your story can progress better for an example in Kiss list there is a lot of choices which include using diamonds and some choices do make sense to have diamonds for, but some of them don’t need diamonds and needs to be free. Also another thing about the clothes is that when you don’t have the right amount of diamonds to pick that choice you have to go with the other outfit which is really horrible and effect the story in a bad way sometimes. I understand that you need money, but at least make some way to get diamonds easier and quicker so that we have more of an enjoyable time playing your game. I hope you understand and have a good time By Jerrod your long term episode player

great app, buuuuuut. So this is an amazing app, but I find the only flaw with this app is the amount of gems needed, and that we do not get enough tickets! If every three hours, I get four tickets, by then I would be probably be occupied with something else, which takes me away from the feeling of using the game. I honestly think you should stack up on the tickets, let’s say if you missed six hours of gameplay, you get 8 tickets, for nine hours you get 12, and so on and so forth. OR you could give us up to six tickets with three hours. You could even do five. With the gems, it’s another story. You would typically get 1 gem from watching any episode story (created BY episode or some authors who work with them) but from any other you get zero. I’m thinking, we should get two gems per ‘episode’ (episode’s organization with authors) and from authors around just on episode that aren’t working with the team of episode should give us one. And the amount of gems needed to wear a dress is kinda ridiculous. for a dress, it should be five, and for a big decision, 10-15 or if it’s a crazy game changer then 20 at the most. Ads are a pain in the back as well, we don’t need two at the beginning of it, but rather one at the start and one at the finish. I also believe everyone should gain five diamonds when they finish any book. Thank you for your time :)

A few problems. I downloaded this app about two months ago. When I first got it, like any new app, I was very excited and started playing all the stories. However as I started really getting into the plots of the stories the whole gem situation got really annoying. Now I know other reviews have talked about this so I'm not going to go too in depth about it, but on top of what everyone has said, I think the purchasing of gems is insanely overpriced! You can only get 10 gems for $0.99, which may seem like a lot of gems, however most single options cost about 20 gems, which means you would have to pay TWO DOLLARS for just one option that only lasts a couple minutes. If you get this app I would recommend community stories so you don't have to deal with gems. Also I've found that community stories have fun customization of outfits, which you can't do in the regular stories and would cost gems. Another thing I wish this app incorporated was the effect of the decisions. Everyone knows that in Episode you can "choose your story", but I've noticed that even when you choose your option, it doesn't really effect your later game. I don't know, just an addition that I think would improve the game. Overall, though, I think Episode is the best storytelling game on the market and you should definitely consider downloading!

Unrealistic Pricing. I enjoy the app (for the most part) but I find the pricing of its in-app purchases are ridiculous! It costs $1.99 (not including taxes which they will add) for a bundle of approx 20 diamonds, the diamonds are the currency which allows you to make choices within the story. But each action or choice cost averagely 12 diamonds, so while reading one chapter to make one choices you would have to spend that and be left with 8 diamonds which are basically defunct until you buy more or earn the painstaking 1 diamond per chapter. The episodes are fairly well written and enjoyable but ones created by fans also ask for a tip (of diamonds) after each episode regardless of if you've donated or not. It’s frustrating because there is sooo many options to spend this currency but not enough options to have it without paying astronomical real world money for an unfair amount. Yes you can play without buying the currency but most stories will have major plot points be decided with these payable options and give you two monetary choices and one free causing most of us to be forced to chose the one free option, which isn't really giving you much freedom within the story. If I could change one thing about the app it would be to add more options within the stories to earn diamonds so that it would be worth reading more that one story.

Get this game. I advise y’all u to get this game because I’ve had it for 3 years and I really like it. Reading isn’t the best to me, but language art is my favorite subject. My mom always tells me that I need to read more so I found this app and I can read and also enjoy the mysteries and the romance and all the other subjects. If you don’t like certain things then you can pick a different subject to read about. Also if you do not want to pay gems to get a different outfit or a certain option then after you’ve played the game for a certain amount of time then you’re able to play different ones that don’t require gems but also after you play you play the Episode you don’t get a gem back. My only problem with Episode is that sometimes the ads don’t have (x)’s on them so then you have to refresh the entire app and when you’ve already watched two ads and then you have to watch two more and two more you kind of gets upsetting because now you’ve watched all these ads multiple times and none of them have (x)’s. The problem with the ads, also have just started these past couple months. I’ve never had these problems before so I don’t really know why they’re happening but, I definitely think that someone should fix those ads.

Great game that could be so much better!. Dear developers, This game is amazing but it could be much better! The gem situation as many people say is ridiculous. I like that you can earn gems after the chapters but I would like more options that don’t include paying we’re I can get more gems like watching one ad for five gems everyday or something like that also the ticket situation is not good. I don’t think it should take three to four hours to get a one ticket or even two. If you are going to keep the timer at three or four hours we should get at least five tickets either that or you need to shorten the timer to 30 minutes or something. Also if you start playing the game for the first time the first gem choice should be free and you should get a complimentary 20 gems at the start of the game that would be a very nice touch. I understand games need money and in app purchases but it is unfair that the only way you can get gems is to read a chapter of a story and only have two tickets every three or four hours. Other than that this game is amazing! The stories are awesome as well as the plot and characters! Don’t change the stories and whoever is writing them props to you! Please think about what I have said because I’m telling you these small changes can turn your game from a four to a five star game! Keep writing and developing! : )

Been here since 2014 launch.. still great. I’ve been a LONG time user of Episode. When it launched in 2014, I loved it. I thought it was a good app before but after 7 years, wow. I was 11 in 2014. This game been with me through the end of elementary, middle and high school. It has grown so much. There is so much diversity and each story is so unique in their own way. Now in 2021, I am SO glad they have the VIP pass because it was so annoying having to watch 2 ads every time you want to read a new chapter. Back then, you can get more passes by having referral codes. That sucked but now, I feel like it’s way easier to get passes. The gems used to be hard to get and now, it’s faster and easier without having to pay for them. My only problem is with the searching. I wish you can search “Pregnant” and every single story that has a baby. Not a small selection of stories. Also, there should be a private section on your profile for stories you started but have no saved to favorites yet. Sometimes I start a story but then get distracted and come back to the app then I can’t find the one I was reading. I think it would make the app better. But that’s my only suggestion. It’s a great app. I loved it as a kid and I still love it as an adult

Concern. I have been playing episode for a very long time. Since I was in middle school. It has brought me nothing but join and excitement because I enjoy the different stories on it. I love the fact that we get an option to reduce or time waiting for our tickets by watching ads. Great Touch!!! Recently I have started playing episode again. Last time I played it I know for a solid fact that I could read any story of my choice with no problems. Now they have a feature that limits how many episodes can be read. I thought maybe it’s the episode originals but it’s not. I went to old stories I have enjoyed and they are doing the same thing. I read about 3 chapters of the story and at the end of the 3rd episode it save I have to either wait a certain time or contribute 7 gems in order to continue reading the story. I think this is completely irrelevant and insufficient. I think this feature needs to be removed and go back to allowing the readers to be able to read endless chapters at their own free will without having to wait a certain time in between a certain amount of episode. I don’t agree with this at all and I don’t think I am the only one. Episode is an amazing platform and I have tried to find other games but they’re not the same. Please fix this problem.

Love it but...... It’s a good app to read and I really can’t complain about it but I hate that the app didn’t save my stories because I logged in with my Facebook but it didn’t save my place in the story. For example if I was on episode 43 in a story that was 50 episodes long I’m going to have to start over from the beginning and that happened to all of my stories so I deleted the app. Maybe 8 months later I decided to get the app again I login with my Facebook as always and I just started with different stories. But I have to wait 4 hours for 2 passes and I’m not going to pay for cause i don’t have money like that. But every 4 hours I get 2 passes and sometimes 1 of the passes get wasted because for some stories the author will write questions and answers for just one episode. So I really only have 1 pass every 4 hours. I’m not going to lie I love the app but it’s not my fault that something happened to my phone and the app couldn’t save my progress. Before something happened to my phone I had at least 14 episodes on there and every 4 hours they’ll add more. But now I have to wait just for 2 and that ridiculous. But I’m going to keep the app this time cause it don’t make sense to delete it and keep having this problem. But they use to give 4 passes for 4 hours. My question is why did they change it?

All the bad options unless you pay. I really like the story ideas for this game, but honestly it’s so incredibly annoying when I want the character to make a good decision, but I CANT because if I want that, I would literally have to PAY FOR IT. That part of it honestly ruins the game so much. You should honestly just call this app, “Pay up or Fail” because you don’t even get the fun of making your own choices without CONSTANTLY having to pay for diamonds, which you NEVER have enough of in the first place. And if you ever do, it takes forever to get enough to make even one good decision. It’s ridiculous, repetitive, and super predictable. It’s like every single time something good happens or some good opportunity happens in the game it’s swiped away because your character suddenly doesn’t feel like it or something, because you declined the option of paying for some diamonds. This whole thing honestly makes me want to delete the app. If you actually want this to be a good app, stop milking people for their money on virtual diamonds that continuously ruin the path your character goes on. Until you fix that, you lost a user. And I’m sure people will get tired of this money milking app at some point unless you turn it around.

Great but just one thing. Ok so, I LOVE absolutely LOVE episode so much! It’s so cool and fun and the stories are amazingly addicting. But the thing that kinda makes me upset is the fact that I can’t make a story on mobile, I already had a story in mind and was going to turn that into an episode story, but then I found out that you can’t make a story on mobile, and I’m on mobile! I don’t have a computer since I’m not aloud to have one yet, and my mom won’t let me use hers so now there’s literally no way to make story’s. I remember a few years ago you could make story’s on mobile, but now you can’t, and it honestly makes me feel excluded. So my suggestion is to allow people to make story’s on mobile again. Also why do we only get 4 tickets? Sometimes I get really invested into a story and then I can only read a few chapters because I only got four tickets it’s honestly super annoying to me how I have to wait HOURS just to get more tickets. Now, I understand if you want to get money from your app, but not everybody, including me can’t get them because some of us may not have the money to get it. I don’t want to sound like a Karen, but I also would like for your to think about my suggestions. But other then that, great app!

I love this app, it’s not like the ads (in a good way). I came on here just to give you guys some suggestions❤️ A great way to personalize the characters a bit further is to maybe pick the exact chest size and the body size so the girl would look more personal. As well as choosing the height. I know you only make avatars and we have those to choose from, but it would be cool if it was really personal kind of like how bitmoji does it. Maybe even a bit further you can create different proportions to make it more personal. Also, I feel like the ads don’t really show how good this app is. A lot of friends I recommend episode to, they all think episode is corny because the ads make it seem really sexual and too dramatic. Anyways that’s really it. I have nothing to complain about LOL this app is amazing and I love episode music😂 (I would really improve the ads tho.... show that you can customize your character to look just like you, and you can customize your love interest. You can also show that there are a bunch of different genres to choose from. You can show romance scenes and action scenes and you can also show that it caters to all sexualities. That would be really cool)

It’s ok. I like some of the stories I wish choices for episode stories didn’t cost so much in gems. You can’t continue with the good part of you don’t have enough gems then your sitting waiting forever to earn enough or you have to spend money. I don’t so the stories sit there unread. I do like some of the community stories like pregnant by a vampire and similar mystery but some stories are unfinished and it’s understandable because they have lives. It’s hard to find stories that are worth reading in the meantime waiting for updated content hoping the author created more or earning enough gems for episode stories. So I had lost interest, and I don’t come on as often anymore. I will come back from time to time to see if a story continued from a user. There is one I follow who I really like but she is busy so I basically have only cane to check for her updates. I’ll still browse to see if a new story is interesting but so far none have been as good as hers. I do follow her on Twitter. I can’t remember how to spell her name or if it’s ok to say it here but she does have good stories and customizations if you read her stories you’ll know who I’m talking about anyway. So if episode didn’t have their stories cost so much in gems I’d be on more and I’d give a better rating so that’s why it’s ok. And the only reason I haven’t deleted the app is because the user I follow. The app should thank her. She’s really good.

My episode rating. This is my review on episode. It is an amazing game, especially for when you are bored and have nothing else to do. I really enjoy myself, but some of the things that bother me about this game are firstly that there are ALWAYS ads. It is good for when you can skip them, but when you run out of passes and are deeply invested in the story you have to wait 3+ hours to continue playing. Another thing that I do not favor about this game is that in SOME stories let’s say you have one hairstyle, and the game wants to offer if you’d like to change it but then does not let you go back to your original hairstyle. I understand that those issues are just opinions and not the overall games fault but it is quite annoying. Also this game is very high quality and very fun to play, but after a while of playing (a span of a year or two) and you’ve completed most of the stories, then there are only stories that you don’t seem interested in left what are you supposed to do? Personally sometimes I replay certain stories, but honestly the game gets boring after a while. I still absolutely love this game and am not showing any hate to the developers and creators, I am just leaving my honest to god opinion on the game.

Two Big Problems. Episode is quite a fun and engaging app. However, a common theme that has been arising is gems and passes. Passes regenerate VERY SLOWLY, and you can’t acquire more without real money. Meaning if you want to binge a story, too bad. With gems, there is no way to acquire them naturally. You can either get one gem per chapter when playing specific stories that Episode selected as “gem stories” (most are Episode originals, and they only give gems on the first read), get a few gems throughout the first Demi story (multiple times), or there is, of course, buying them. Gem purchases are pretty ridiculous too. Some are reasonable (say 5 gems for a dress) then maybe you’ll find yourself staring at a 50 GEM PURCHASE for something ridiculous like a dinner with someone. Most of the time, when presented with a cool gem purchase, you’ll end up saying, “No thanks, sorry!” because you only have a few gems. It is beyond tedious to always be presented with a gem purchase you’d like to make, but only having so many to spare. And this same theme applies to passes. A story leaves off at s big cliffhanger, you want to continue but...sorry! Gotta wait a few hours. Daily or weekly gems/passes would be a miracle, as they’d allow people who don’t have the money to spend on gems and passes to be able to experience the bulk of Episode stories, which a lot of us are missing out on.

So poor. I still remember episode app used to be so great on the old days or years and I am like so disappointed with everything on this app I expected so much thing like I could get free passes by watching ads although it’s not that much OK all they need is money and nothing else I remember episode used to be so great before you could just read through everything and diamonds and passes were not that hard to earn but now everything is literally changed I hate this so much I can’t even login in there it says I can’t and I can’t even make stories on my iPad I cannot do anything in that only thing that I hate about this is just because of these update i want the olderVersion one or used to be so exciting and fun before but now it’s also boring and you can’t even like read a story fully without getting interrupted by those passes and things and slowly the time counter gets so fast and you can’t even get a lot of passes to watch a literally a single thing or a story I’m so disappointed of those and I hope on the future you will you guys would not worry about money and you guys would actually make us happy I don’t know why people are commenting so good although they know it was so good before but now it’s so bad everything is literally so rude and I’m so upset about this everything and I hope and a future you would be able to make this a more predictable and more fun for everyone. Sorry episode team I’m literally so disappointed with everything.

It’s fun but frustrating. I have downloaded and deleted this game a few times. All because of the tickets and diamonds. I was hoping that in time maybe they would come out with new updates on ways to earn more diamonds or up the tickets you earn. Literally two tickets and once your done it’s like 3 hours before you get another. The diamonds are outrageous. It costs so much for choosing clothing options and choices that if you really want the story to be “your” choice you would have to come out of pocket, and quite a lot. The community story’s are great. No cost but so far I am on my first book and my options of choosing the story is limited. That could be just the one I am currently reading so I’ll find out once I start another. That is why I went with those story’s though because I don’t have to pay for the diamonds. But only two tickets is really frustrating. Why not start people out with 5? It seems like the makers and story writers of the games too focus is making people spend their money. I know ads are annoying but if it cut back on the diamond and tickets down fall I would be willing to deal, or even pay to eliminate ads. This game is great and has awesome potential but can really make you livid when you see the amount of money you have to spend to even play, choose what you like, or have the story line go your way. It should be called Episode: PAY your way to your story.

Could be better. The only reason this game is good and that I play it is because of creator stories. I only watch episodes made by community creators. The episodes made by episode are not enjoyable and actually frustrating because you can’t have a good story unless you spend 50$ per story. Everything in the story that would be good you have to spend diamonds on meaning spend money bc you only earn ONE diamond per episode when options pop up every two seconds in story that cost a bunch of diamonds. If you only earn one diamond per episode the options should cost a lot less diamonds or there should only be one choice per episode instead of like 5. I have put money into episode choices and always regret it bc they aren’t even that good and it ends up being a waste. Its just a money grab bc they want you to pay to have a good story and what they give you usually isn’t even worth it. It’s so annoying. Where as I can get a story twice as good and not have to pay a single diamond! And every outfit doesn’t cost diamonds and every choice is FREE! So in conclusion, the app is good, but only because of other creators. Wish you would fix it but I know you won’t because you don’t actually care and just want the money.

episodes. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EPISODE! but there are some things i will say, i wish i could change. the gems, there about all the GOOD choices. but you only get 1 per episode. and it will take 40 episodes to get 40 gems. that’s a long time! and most of the good choices cost 15-30 gems. and you can buy them, but my parents barely have enough for my phone. so i think, gems shouldn’t either exist or something simple to get gems quicker and easier! tickets on the other hand are pretty great. if you read 40 episodes you get 4 tickets. all though they re-fill every 2 hours. you can buy them as well! but i don’t really mind passes, it keeps me off my phone so i’m not on it as much! so thank you to episodes for that. the only thing is if i get really into a story and my passes run out, i get really upset about it. 😂 but other then that it’s ok to me! i don’t really mind it as much! other then that, the game is perfect! 😍 you can get GREAT story lines, and pick your own lines and character! it’s absolutely amazing and is a great app. i highly recommend! especially during this whole pandemic, it keeps you very active and you will never get bored of it! thank you to the creator of episode, without you i don’t know how i would get threw my quarantine without this app! 🥰

VIP. Back in late December of this past year I bought the VIP option on episode and I honestly thought it was great to be able to have unlimited tickets and no ads for ANY story in fact it made me want to continue buying VIP after the 30 days. I’ve been playing on episode for years and saw it as a way to support the app and read be able to read as much as I want which was great. However, it’s been a bit since I’ve opened episode and I finally got back on and purchased the VIP again thinking it’d be the same (my mistake I understand I should have read the terms) but I find it just irritating how only episode official stories are unlimited as most of the gem options are overpriced and require you spending nearly half the gems you earn with the vip in just one chapter and overall removes the excitement/thrill of what can be amazing stories. Moreover, most episode official stories are 15 chapters long and it’s quite frustrating when because other non episode official stories tend to be 30+ and you still have to wait for the timer to unlock every 3 episodes or spend more gems to quickly unlock them add it and wait for your tickets to replenish because no longer are tickets unlimited when you pay for vip. Honestly, it seems as though even with VIP your getting nothing and more of a waste than anything.

My favorite app, have some suggestions. Episode has always been fun but it keeps getting better. The stories are great quality and the characters are beautiful to customize (like they just look nice). I especially like the feature of watching ads for tickets - our prayers have been answered! I do wish that not accepting gem choices could have less of a negative effect on the story though. Maybe make gem choices cause an EXTRA fun experience and declining the choice is a neutral experience. It feels rn like declining the gem choices disappoints the other characters and you have a less fun experience which isn’t super fun if you don’t want to pay money. Another suggestion: I’d love if you could make it so that we can write stories on a mobile device. I only have episode on my phone and I’d love to write stories, but I’m not able to. Also also: It’d also be cool if we could customize the characters’ body types instead of just face shape. The bodies on all the current characters are fine, but it’s weird that they’re all the same (all the dudes have abs and all the girls are slim with curves. Not super realistic). I know that sounds like a lot of complaints but I really do love this app and I am so grateful that it’s the amazing quality that it is.

OMG I LOVE DIDNISNDODNIDND. I play this since 2019 and it’s literally 2021 this game is just so addicting like all the stories which is all like sometimes I wake up and just go straight on it I know it’s really not good but like the game is just to Good I used to do it to Roblox but roblox got really boring all and just like really I don’t know what words could pronounce it but yeah now I sometimes I wake up and just go on this game and usually just play for the rest of the day this game like it’s some of the stories are inappropriate but it’s just so interesting it’s hard not to watch like I know it has some sexual thingsLike it’s so interesting it’s so hard really not watch and I’ve been really trying not to watch the stuff but like it’s just hard like I keep saying it’s really just hard but I’ve been like I said play this game from 2019 and it’s just a great game I feel like the creators did a good job it’s so bad like I’m blast with words it’s not much else to say about it because it’s just over the top is too much to say in one little page but oh my God guys like just just read this before trying the game my tablet just drop-anyways try out the game bye. From my missed spelling I was using this through the microphone and you know how the microphone could be sometimes anyways bye again

gems 👎🏼. this whole “spend 25 gems to wear this dress” or “spend 25 gems to go do this daring thing to accelerate the plot” thing is really frustrating. seems to me everyone has been complaining about it in the reviews but NOTHING has been done to fix it. instead of giving only one gem after you complete a story, how about you give 3 or 5. that way, gems add up more frequently and you can make those better decisions more often. i get the whole “we need money to ensure we can operate the game!” thing but instead of charging money for passes AND gems, just do it for the passes. i don’t really mind waiting 4 hours to get 4 however it would be nice if there was an added “watch ads to get passes/gems” feature. because then, the creators will get money to operate Episode & the players will get more passes and gems. it’s really annoying to be in the middle of a great story to then make the worse choice because i don’t have enough gems. if you think about it, if you get 4 passes in 4 hours, that’s only 4 gems every time you play. that would take literally almost a week to collect 20 gems which isn’t even the regular base price for a better choice in the game. this game is focused around YOU (the player) making choices in the story to make the plot go how you please. how am I supposed to control the plot if i don’t have gems? just doesn't make sense.

Love it! But.... I love this game so much! Usually I don’t have a problem with it it’s a fun interactive game that has so many different things and stories to read. I love all of the different varieties of stories you can read ( my favorites are the ones that have a lot of drama, mystery, romance, and a lot of hot guys lol) it’s so much fun and I’ve had it for such a long time. The only real problem that I have with it is the gems...They are just so annoying. Now if your someone that has TONS of money are your parents don’t care if you waste it on random crap then your all set. ( not me ) unlike others I am one who must suffer through the pain of no gems 24/7. I just think that the “exclusive” options in the game to change your story is dumb and that it’s WAY to expensive. No one really has the money to buy so many gems and just spend it wisely. And I also think it’s unfair that the people with gems get the “better” ending in their story. Like if you don’t but the exclusive option the story is basically ruined. Your whole good Story just got trashed just because you didn’t but the exclusive option. Other than that I am a complete huge fan on the game! I love the game, keep doing all your hard work to make the game better and better! Sincerely, a human being
