Subscription... The subscription price is a little outrageous. There are already enough things in our lives that require subscriptions and not many people can keep up with them all when they all want to charge a fair amount to keep. $4.99 a week is quite excessive and a little absurd. That would about $20 a month for just stories. Good stories but still a bit much.

Why do I have to pay??. I have to pay just to read stories.. I remembered when this game was good and all there was were ads which was fine, Now we have to pay just to read stories which is complete nonsense and a stupid idea, I don’t even think people play this game that much anymore, they ruined the game experience and now I will be moving on to see better story game apps that don’t make you pay. I wanna give this zero stars. This is probably why YouTubers stopped uploading reacting/reading this games stories, because it’s a waste of money and a waste of time. I really hope they change it back, but they most likely won’t and it will end up having no one playing it.

Not what I thought. I’ve heard good things about this app, so I decided to download it yesterday… I was really exited for the stories and stuff until I found out you have to pay just to read any story in general? The fact I have to pay to read anything on this app makes it seem like a total rip off… So I’m not going to give this app the best rate for that reason… at that point you might as well just have people pay for the app. All in all, I was really disappointed and I’ve deleted it. I really hope the developers can do something about the whole paying thing… maybe have people pay for certain stories, and not the whole app- maybe more people wouldn’t be so disappointed and the app would get more good reviews.

Needs more content for audio books (especially horror). I’m a horror fan and the horror books I’ve listened to were great but there’s only a few and I wish there were more because this app is great it’s got videos now also! But if this app had more audio horror books I’d definitely recommend this app to anyone

payment. i had this app around 2 years ago and it was a great app. i loved it and i loved reading the horror stories with my friends! it was a very fun app back then. i downloaded it again and realized i had to pay money to actually have the app and read the stories. i feel as if the app was better before than it is now. they could have just kept the same things that they had before, like paying to see the pictures and things like that. i think it’s kinda extra to pay $5.00 to read some stories. and i know many of people can agree with me on this that they should remove the payments t read the stories. this app would have been 5 stars before, but now it’s only 2 stars because the payment ruined it. (only 2 stars because of how good this app was before the payment). consider changing the app back to how it was before.

Change the app how it used to be. Hooked was a great app it had some addictive stories I used the app on my old phone then i got a new phone and downloaded hooked back and it said i had to pay 5$ a week for some stories for a say u had the app for a year u paid 260$ 2 hear some stories I think is a rip off they should have kept it where you just have to pay for the pictures but that’s I feel have a good day thank you for reading

Used to be so good, we could submit our own stories. I USED TO ABSOLUTELY LOVE this app. When I had it I could submit my stories, one of them even made the top fan horror list. It was amazing! But what really saddened me was that you got rid of that feature. Like WHY?! It was the best feature of the app, well besides being able to read stories for free and earn the other chapters. I wish you would bring back the old feature. It would really make the app great again. Until then though this app is pretty much not even worth downloading.

A bit too much to pay but had good stories. Hi I’m Londyn and I really think Hooked is a bit TOO expensive to use. Don’t get me wrong, it has great stories but it just costs too much.4.99 a week just for stories? It’s overpriced. 4.99 a month is better for this app but 4.99 a week is overpriced. It has amazing stories those but I’ll rather stick to WEBTOON and other things that are free. -Londyn

Seriously. Hello I have an actually tried the stories on hacked they seem good so I downloaded it but I couldn’t even get past the first page I have to pay 5.99 a month not going to happen I hope the developer this app will change that because people aren’t going to want to get your app I made the stories if they can’t even get past the first page I think at least you should do a year I have no payments and see how that goes if it goes well then i think you should keep it that way the fact that you can’t even get passed the first page without paying seriously people are going to want to delete it right away like me I hope the developer will change this

Used to be good…. I give it one star only because how much this app has downgraded over the time, it used to be one of my favourite apps to start off writing stories and everything and being able to actually use a app to write your own stories and read others and see all the interesting stuff others had to talk about and whatnot but now, now you can’t even write your own, you have to pay for loads of stuff now, and I’ve spent a little time scrolling through the reviews and comments made on the app and each person is saying the same thing. I understand that developers of this app need money themselves for the app but I don’t see why we can’t write our own still and be able to view free things without having to pay for everything, I’m sure you get money out of the advertisements that’s no issue but just things here and there we have to pay for, for enjoyment? Really? The app is somewhat of a ripoff and seriously downgraded over time

Couldn’t even try…. I downloaded the app because the add for it was pretty interesting but when I opened the app i had to pay to even get into the app witch I thought was ridiculous because usually I wouldn’t mind but it costs a lot and I read other reviews and they gave a 1 star 2 at most all because you have to pay. I would use the app if you didn’t have to pay but I will be deleting it because I can’t pay. I will stick with the adds and the cliff hangers like in some books.

just going to stick to snapchat from now on.. like the title says: i’m sorry, but i’m just going to stick to snapchat to read these in the morning when i wake up. no offense, but i don’t want to have to spend four dollars PER WEEK that i have this. it’s kind of bizarre and quite annoying. i want to read these for enjoyment, but i have to worry about having money to last me through college. because by the time i finish maybe one or two stories, i have to pay again. that’s appalling. i find it kind of insulting that wattpad-level stories are worth this much money weekly. at least let me log in and pay when the week is over or almost over. i can’t even get into the app without having a card available. just going to stick to snapchat for my hooked stories now. ridiculous cash grab now.

I know they’re stories, but they’ve got unrealistic endings or expectations.... I know they’re stories, but most are based on real-life experiences, and if this is the case, there’s got to be some realistic and logical circumstances, communication, etc., right? Some “horror” stories seem more satirical, and the “romance” ones have unrealistic moments to show how relationships work. For “horror:” one story was concluded the protagonist went to a bad place for “meanness.” Most of the stories are “Oh no, I can’t call 911,” “ I’ve tried, but I’ve got no signal,” or “They’ll never make it in time,” but they can somehow text in a play-by-play fashion (meaning everything they say or do is texted...everything...) without any signal errors or never try calling again for legitimate help 🤦🏻‍♀️ For “romance,” one story had a guy being tested via text how to find a girl that swiped his “girlfriend’s” phone without question. She used it to play out a movie like “The Game,” playing extremely hard to get with this guy. After all the gauntlets thrown at him of running around all over the city, in the end, he still wanted to go out with her??? I would’ve given up after the first time: “Why do you have her phone? Give it back! I just can’t take this seriously...

Used to be free to use. I loved reading the stories in this app, but now we have to pay to read the stories we enjoyed so much! I really would appreciate it if you made the app free to use again. I wouldn’t even mind if you used ads. Not everyone can afford a subscription, even if it is $5 a month or a week or whatever it is. If we do have to pay, then as many, many others have said, let some of the stories be free while others are locked behind the ridiculous subscription. Don’t lose all of your old customers because of money reasons. When money becomes the deciding factor for decisions, you always make terrible ones that end up only hurting you in the end.

was my favorite until... i always would read the stories and everything on here. and don’t get me wrong, but i loved them. but.. now that they are charging a bunch just to read stories on ur phone, it doesn’t seem worth it at all. the stories were pretty good, but not that good to pay a lot of money. i just find it very unreasonable to charge that much. it used to be “oh u gotta pay blah blah blah to see this pic/video” but now u can’t read anything. in fact, all u can read is H00KED unlock the most addictive . stories and shows. CONTINUE $4.99 per week after FREE 7-day trial i͟͟͟͞͞͞ a͟͟͟͞͞͞l͟͟͟͞͞͞r͟͟͟͞͞͞e͟͟͟͞͞͞a͟͟͟͞͞͞d͟͟͟͞͞͞y͟͟͟͞͞͞ h͟͟͟͞͞͞a͟͟͟͞͞͞v͟͟͟͞͞͞e͟͟͟͞͞͞ a͟͟͟͞͞͞c͟͟͟͞͞͞c͟͟͟͞͞͞e͟͟͟͞͞͞s͟͟͟͞͞͞s͟͟͟͞͞͞ THANK U FOR UR TIME 😌😌😌❤️

Honestly... I didn’t even know what this app was until I got a five minute ad with a pretty good story in it. It wasn’t exactly realistic but I thought it was pretty good and I wanted to finish it. So I downloaded the app.. and it tells me to pay money to actually get into the app at all. Okay now don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind paying to get into it but 20 dollars a month is kinda.. eh. But here’s the thing that confused me. You see I wouldn’t exactly have known about this but if you scroll down (and this is ridiculous because the only option we as the people reading see is the option to pay) you’ll see that there’s an option to sign in/sign up, and it doesn’t even work. And if it’s there in the first place, then why have the option to pay? Also if it doesn’t work then why just leave it there? Yeah so I may be deleting the app one way or another unless you fix this problem quick. I will compliment you on how good the ads are but at the same time that’s no excuse to trick us into paying. That is all I got.

Use to be good but.... Hello. I had hook 2 years ago and It was fantastic made me a little addicted to it! Anyways I decided to download it a year ago again and I seen I had to pay in order to actually read the stories, I thought that was pretty much a rip off ... I understand that the payments and the money efforts but seriously? I thought you guys was going to remove that like it would’ve been better to pay for the videos that the people send on the stories and texts, (I don’t know if you do because I don’t have the app right now). But then again I wanted to download it now because I haven’t thought of anything of it ! I personally thought it was going to be good spooky, romantic, etc stories & then I forgot about the “payment to read” thing and I download it .. I get happy then I have to pay 5$ to pay and especially to finish at that? No thanks. I hope the people/person can develop and do something about that atleast? Thank you for reading I hope you have a wonderful day or night. Besides this report I feel hook was a good experience for me.

Stupidly high prices for everything. I used to absolutely love this app 2-3 years ago. I kept stumbling across ads and thought to myself “hey if I liked reading on this app so many years ago, maybe I would like rereading the old horror stories I loved so much.” But no, when I first opened the app it said I could pay to read. I thought it was just for exclusive stories and stuff, I tried looking for a way to exit the pop-up. Couldn’t find it so I thought maybe if it’s not too expensive I can pay for it. I looked at the price and it’s 20$ per month. I understand 5$ or so per month but 20$?! I know people need to be payed but they have ads running as well as other stuff. I’m probably going to delete this after posting this review I missed this app and now I’m just disappointed. 1 star from me.

Not good anymore 😕. Hi! so I use to have this app 3 years ago and I loveddd Hooked! So I was just curious to download it again and which I did. So, I downloaded and it says I have to pay 20 dollars A MONTH! And I kind of think that’s just stupid. Because why would you pay $20 dollars a month for just an app or a book? I don’t understand now can some books be free and some like $1.00 or or something? I just don’t understand anymore. Like I just said that’s stupid that you have to pay $20 dollars a month. Hooked please fix this or I’m just going to delete this app. :(

It used to be good. You used to be able to read free stories but just couldn’t see pics or vids in the chat for free. I’ve always had it and I decided to read a story. It then said I had to re sign in which cool then it said just to actually use the app you now have to pay. You can’t read any story for free anymore so if your not going to pay it’s not worth the download. I kinda wish they would just make you pay before you download the app so your not exactly disappointed but it’s fine :) anyway have a good day bye

Used to Love this App. The stories are great and I really enjoy reading them even if it means I have to wait some time to finish the entire thing. However, I don’t like the fact that it’s a “pay to use” app now. I’m not that serious about reading these stories so once I found out that I had to pay, I just deleted the app. There are many other apps that are trying to replicate Hooked but I just find some of their stories not as exciting. I really wished I didn’t have to pay to read.

Just 1 thing. This is a 3 star for me it would be 5 but I just want 1 thing added. The ability to make your own stories. I love this app and I would love to add to it but i can’t because there is not a create a story option I would even pay a one time payment for it but subscriptions are dumb so I wouldn’t do that if you start adding subscriptions I would honestly just delete the app and rate it one star because subscriptions are dumb but I’m going off track now hopefully the creators see this!

old ways. i enjoyed using this app whenever i was bored, but now i come back to it and you need to pay to even use it? why? the app was just fine before. you could’ve left it off where there were some free stories, and some were not. but now, for something that used to be free, you’re charging for it and it makes me upset. im sure many others agree. another thing, bring back the option to write our own stories. i dont know if this option got back, but since i cant get in on how the app looks now because i need to pay for it, im stuck in the subscription screen so i cannot see if that option is available now. i dont see the need for this many changes on the app, maybe a few bug fixes were fine but charging to use the app in general? have to disagree with you there. for now, im deleting it but i’ll come back and check in again, i really did love this app.

Please Respond. Hey there! I absolutely love the stories. However I have been trying to contact you guys on email for over two weeks and every single email address in your website is not working and saying that the address cannot be found. Every single day on Snapchat you guys used to update one story at 6 AM. For the last three months it’s been extremely inconsistent and now you guys haven’t posted for over four days. I would really just like an explanation as to what is going on and if this is going to be temporary or the future of hooked. Thank you!

tbh... i used to play this app A LOT a few years ago and i redownloaded it to play a story i saw on an ad only to find out i need a subscription to pay??? don’t get me wrong i don’t mind the fact that oh you need to pay for SOME stories but the fact that you have to pay to play literally anything is beyond annoying at that point just make the game cost money on the app store if something looks free i’m gonna assume i can do whatever but with some additional fees but literally the whole thing is me having to pay just to read/watch a few stories i REALLY hope y’all find a way around this bc it was a fun app

this book is a scam. I dont like this hook app anymore. Back when I use to have this app it was free to read and you only had to pay for the ads and the videos and pictures they send. But now you have to actually pay to read. When I saw a add about this app it gave my huge memories when I was younger so I downloaded it and found out you have to pay to read like what. Honestly I wouldn’t pay to read because that would be useless cuz i would just deleted it at one point. If I had to be honest with the app and everyone don’t download this app cause you have to pay to read and the ads are a scam and honestly they app has gone horribly bad for the past years.

No!. I saw an ad for the app and it looked interesting so I went to get the game and it said the game was free and as soon as I go in it makes me pay before I even do anything but absolutely not no I’m only 11 years old I don’t got that kind of money absolutely not it’s all a big scam! and I can’t stand how much the ads lie because I am currently really sick and I was looking for something to do because I was bored and I found this app and I was really excited and it won’t even let you in unless you pay a ton of money per month it’s a big scam and a rig! nobody should download this! And also I bet the creator of the game doesn’t even read the reviews because he’s too self-absorbed and covered in money!

It used to be good ... 4 years ago or so I used to use this app when I would be bored and today I decided to get it because I thought it would be the same and atleast more fun, but when I first clicked the app it said I had to pay for it to use the app? Before it was free for all and now you have to pay to do all sorts of stuff, that’s such a ripoff and I read some reviews and they have the exact same problem like 4.99 isn’t bad but really for some stuff to read?? Thats probably the reason no one uses this app anymore. Worst app!! Never installing again. It should be free for all like before.

Why do i have to pay. I was so excited to finally get this app again because i havent had it for a while but when i got the app it told me i have to pay to actually read the stories i get that the people who own the app need money but make that for something else because i dont think many people are willing to pay 5 bucks a week for an app, because im sure not. I dont recommend getting this unless you really want to pay 5 bucks a week. They need to change this.

Scam Likely Much?!. Okay, so the reason I have this app 3 stars is because you have to pay! I get it the creator(s) ant to make some money. I get that but you could at least have included it in the description! People want to enjoy games, and be able to play them for free! The app is literally reading text messages from a computer. Your not even reading messages from real people! My point is, you shouldn’t have to pay to enjoy something that isn’t even real, something that couldn’t happen, and you shouldn’t have to pay for...A SCAM.

We have to pay. This app was great when I played it like 2 or 3 years ago. I deleted the app and then decided to get the app back. When I got it back I had to pay for it. The developers need to let some of the stories be free. This use to be a free app. I feel like by them making people pay for it no one is not going to pay for and it’s going to be less people reading. I hope this helps the people that want to download this app it’s not worth it unless you trying to spend the money

Why so much money. Honestly this is a really good app. I love reading the stories and they’re very entertaining. The dialogue is amazing and to be honest I wish these were actually books. But the problem is that now they make you pay $20 a month! That is too much money for a month. Also you can’t read the books without paying. There’s not even a demo book! Maybe you can take away the paying $20 a month thing and make it so some stories cost money and some stories are free. Honestly that’s a much easier and faster way to earn money then doing $20 a month. I’m disappointed because I was so excited to read the books and they look so interesting and then the screen pops up. I have no words to describe how disappointed I am. If you see this app I know it’s tempting but do not download it. It’s not worth it. Unfortunately I will be deleting this app and I recommend you do the same:(

Paying to read the stories. I had this app since I was in 5th grade (I am in 10th now) and I remember when me and my friends would read the spooky stories when we would have sleepovers. I had switched phones since then and when I went to go download it again to read more stories like that, I see we have to pay to even read stories at all. I think that is completely unreasonable. There were only fees for passes to read with and when a picture or video came up. I am honestly disappointed to find this out when it wasn’t like that for years. I hope the maker of this will go back to the way it was before.

READ. When I first started got hooked I was probably like 10 or so but a couple years later I decided to download it again and guess wut. I HAD TO PAY TO WATCH THE STORIES. I wish I could still watch it for free☹️😭. I hate it when apps do this. The game is free but you have to pay to do anything. What’s the point of making the app free then 🙄🙄🙄. If the creators see this then plz get rid of it. Probably a lot of people will delete like me. Anyways have a nice day everyone and your magnifique don’t forget that.

Why do we have to pay?. I loved this game when it came out but when I return to re download it I find out we have to pay to get in! I definitely do not agree with this and neither does anyone else for that matter. It would be much more wise to market like you once did with seeing the videos, pictures, and reading more past your set limit. This has made me extremely sad seeing as I don’t have the money to pay for a game that I could very well re create in real life. In the end this game is very entertaining and I used to love playing it. But as of recent I can no longer play because of an entrance fee. This is a story game, not an amusement park.

Used to love it. I used to love it and would spend hours reading on it , that was until they changed it from the perfect app to the app that’s all about getting money instead of about the costumers . I used to have the app on my old phone and you didn’t have to pay to look at a story on there . To come to find out when I got my new phone before you could even look at it or even think about it you would have to pay a subscription fee to go on the app .

Used to be good. I used to have Hooked a 3+ years ago and decided to redownload it today to see what the app looked like. When I first had it, I liked it quite a bit (at least 4-5 stars) but uninstalled it because I didn’t have the storage to keep it. The stories on the app were free, it was great. When I reinstalled it today, I learned that there’s about a $5 reoccurring fee after a 1-2 week free trial. This alone discourages a lot of people who may take interest in using the app because they don’t want to pay for something just to read these stories, myself included. Thank you for reading, and for the time being my review out of 5 will remain at 1.

is it worth it? no.. So I saw and ad to this app and i was like “wow i wanna read more of this story”. So i waited a little for it to download and Icreated an account and when I finished creating an account it doesn’t let me see options of the story’s. but when i press continue it’s telling me to confirm a purchase of $4.99 A WEEK. I CANT AFFORD THAT. everything now a days is already expensive and i have to pay 5 dollars a week FOR A READING APP. Absolutely not, this is ridiculous I will not be using this app, I will be uninstalling this app until there is something fixed.

I can’t sign in. First of all it doesent let me sign in, So You go into the app and it has this page it said something like buy a subscription or, if you already have one log in or something. and all the way at the bottom it says create an account. first I click the apple sign in since I have an I phone, then I put my finger on the button and it tracks it and the check mark pops up then it does nothing. So I go to the enter your email and I have mine saved, and I never changed it. I enter in my email and it does nothing.

Stop Making Us Pay A Lot. this has to be a 1-2 star. I loved this app until i found out i had to pay. I have to wait for an hour or more to read another part of a story which makes me so upset. I have to pay for mostly everything and i hate that. This app should be free why make everything so expensive? I would love this app if it was cheaper but other this app really is bad. The stories are great but waiting for long and paying so much? No! Make this app cheaper and free and no more waits and ads ! other than everything i don’t like the money and ads. This app used to be good until the creator of this app decided to make it expensive! The stories amazing the creator with money not amazing. Ads as well is not good and waiting as well. I genuinely don't like the payments and waiting to read another part of the story and so much ads. If you take those off i would download it again thanks.

The fact that we have to lay to use the app now. Okay so I downloaded hooked again after about five months of having deleted it and I come back to having to pay to use it... and at that five dollars?! I understand the actors may need money but what about the people who struggle for money right now? I feel like that was a bit selfish and I’m deleting hooked AND hooked TV because that was an outrageous update that just makes the creators and actors seem like money hungry tyrants... I’m done with hooked... I used to live watching the little skits and had no problem with ads or having to wait five minutes to see the other half instead of premium but what you (creator) did just makes you seem like a money hungry person.... it’s sad what the world and some people have come to now... it’s disgusting

Explain please???. I loved this app a couple of years ago and I wanted to download it again and when I did you have to pay now to even use it?!! And I even signed into my old account thinking that I wouldn’t have to pay if I did but nothing changed. There should be no reason that you have to even pay to USE the app. It’s completely outrageous. It would make sense if you had to pay to have no wait time between chapters or to pay for no adds or more stories. But to have someone pay to even have access to the app is outrageous just for a couple text stories that their most likely not even going to use a lot.

Pay to use?. A few years ago I downloaded this and loved it. The stories were really interesting and creative. I had deleted it to clear up my storage and I recently got a new phone and find out I have to pay 20 dollars a month to use this app? I mean, I understand if it was 1-5 dollars but 20 a month? That should at least be able to pay for 4 months. It’s just so expensive. 80 dollars in 4 months? That’s not a great deal. I’m probably just gonna by a knock-off app that doesn’t make you pay. Will be deleting.

Not what it used to be……... Being an avid reader of various different titles and enjoying many different apps in order to access such titles, some time ago I used this app in order to immerse myself in the many stories this app offered. Now, quite some time later, I can no longer access nor read any of those stories, due to the minds behind this app no longer allowing people to read any of their titles unless they pay. It’s not a smart idea to not give users at least some stories to read, and leave others to be paid for. If you are reading this review, I recommend you use Webtoon, because it is far more superior in how they manage making money and keeping some content free for readers.

Used to be Great. I used to have this app maybe around 3 or 2 years ago and I used to be a complete addict because it used to be free and I was able to enjoy fictional stories for free but then, I decided to download this app again for the fun of it and maybe seeing if I could reread some stories but I go on the app and it seems now that you have to pay to actually read. 2 years ago I thought the paying to see videos and not having a wait time was pretty reasonable but not the actual stories itself. Plus the whole 4.99 per week seems a bit much just to read some fictional text message stories. Also reading the other reviews does not make your app look good when others read it so maybe take it into consideration that maybe you guys are overcharging?. Other than the whole paying situation, this app used to be amazing.

Ehh was better before. Had the app a couple years back and it was amazing. Honestly don’t remember why I deleted it. I redownloaded it recently and I can’t even read anything without having to pay $5 weekly… so $20 a month. Normally, I wouldn’t be frustrated Bc I understand that people gotta get paid and need to make money from their work and all but the fact that I can’t get anything at all is ridiculous. It shouldn’t have been free on the AppStore if I can’t use it without paying for it. It would be different if there was still things I could read without paying and then some stories were left for people who paid or something along the lines of that concept. Very frustrating because it was such a good app before.

it’s ok. I can’t even get in without having to pay.. I used to love reading the story’s and getting scared but now I can’t do that without having to get a “free trial” and I’ve clicked to continue with my Apple ID and my email and it still won’t even let me in to read anything I’ve tried closing the app too and it’s just stuck on unlock to read:/ they just want money now and that’s just not fun in my opinion I don’t even think they will be getting so much money bc people just don’t like how they changed it I don’t even see why you needed to change this perfectly good app to a money eater. If that makes sense it would be cool if you actually had a update to where it is free like the old times but that’s prob not gonna happen:/

Fix this!!. Honestly miss when you could create your OWN stories for everyone else to read. I deleted the app once got rid of that feature. Today I got bored and figured I’d te download the app to see if you could create your own story again. Clearly you can’t. This app was the easiest 5/5 star when you could create stories. It would be awesome if we could create stories again even if that means the subscription is a little more expensive. The HOOKED app is an awesome app but it won’t get anything more than 2 stars unless they add back the feature of creating stories.

App is in bad shape. I agree with most of the other reviews here saying that it used to be good but those days are very far away for Hooked. Paying 4.99 a week to even use the app is insane and unreasonable and pretty soon it isn’t hard to imagine the entire userbase drying up. On top of that the stories themselves aren’t that good and have gotten much worse over the years and the exclusive video content is just as bad. Low quality content for a ridiculous price don’t download this app the only thing free is the pay screen.

DO NOT GET!!!. i used to have this app when i was in 5th grade and i absolutely loved it. i got a new phone in 6th and got it again then i got a new phone like a 1.5 years later and forgot about the app. i wanted to get it again since i remembered about it and now i see you have to pay to read any of the stories!!! this is so stupid!! i do not recommend getting this app at all. it is not worth it i promise you! this app is also for ages 12+ so it make absolutely NO SENSE for it to cost money to read any and all stories.

Updates. Hooked never used to be with money the new update is you need to purchase before you start reading i used to love this app but i know deleted it and no longer read it thanks to the new update it was better when the whole app was free and we just needed to pay to to see the images in the conversations.

I don’t like it. Why do we need to pay $8:00 a week to play this a game you can only read stories that’s it and you Make us pay so much so I can’t even read one story because of how much you need to pay so I hate it so if you respond and you updated the game so we don’t need to pay so play it I will read a story and then I will make a new review

GOT IT WORTH IT!. I am literally in love with this app I love everything about it and I like the fact that most of the stories have videos but honestly, you don't need the videos because reading the stories already give you a visual video in your head and that's the best I have downloaded a lot of apps but this is by far the best like tap and cliff but they were all starters compared to this one but if you were talking to someone you'd always want them to get to the point kinda like this situation enough talking more downloading this app bye

Dont buy this. Worest app ever! So I got a new phone and downloaded this again but it said buy a subscription for 8$ hell nah dont but it you HAVE to pay find another app for horror texts

Middle of the road. It’s a fun app for specific personalities. I really like it. My siblings would be frustrated with “the over acting”. I think trying to turn words into a short story it’s necessary. Story wise no complaints. But the app needs to do a better job of remembering what you’ve already read/seen. It seems to run out of new content fast. If it was a completely free app I would rate it 5. However having to pay or waiting hours to be able to watch another 5 minute story you’ve already seen is pointless. The least the app could do is remember what you’ve see /read already.

Homophobic.. I hate this app.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I do not recommend, the story’s are great and get a week free. Won’t I don’t like is when my subscription was over it still took money out of my account when I canceled the subscription as well. I DO NOT RECOMMEND

It’s nothing special. I got the free trial (thank goodness) because I remember the old version where it was free, and wanted to look back at the old stories (+ the ones I made in the past), turns out they removed all user-created stories and replaced them with new more high quality stories, although they’re all nothing special and I got bored after reading 2 I wish they kept the old user created stories because there would’ve been more variety, not to mention that there’s not many stories in this new version anyway and it’s a shame what happened Perhaps worth the free trial but not a subscription of 8 AUD a month..

Don’t Buy This!. This is a bad game you need to pay $8 dollars come on you can get better stuff than this find a new story game also this has really bad reviews so please don’t get it only if your rich and want to spend money instead of saving money please do not buy this bad story game. I really do not recommend this game to even be on the App Store if apple sees this please shut it down for maintenance and be banned for little kids under 18 with not much money to buy it I hope no one buys this please do not buy it WARNING if you buy it you need to give your email and make a password for your "account" so yeah do not buy it only for entertainment purposes or other purposes but this crappy game it still tells fun stories and it’s a good story game it’s probably one of the best story game’s you’ll find ever so if you want to do it do it but I,m just telling you to not buy it it’s also $8 a week

I'm hooked!. You can definitely sign up to receive the stories completed but to me having to wait that extra time makes this app so much more appealing. You're mind really starts to go into creative writing mode. I usually hate having to wait to proceed onto certain apps but for something like this where the plot is constantly thickening it really works out. I'm pleasantly surprised and gave this app a try after reading one of the reviews which plainly stated download it you won't regret it. All I can say is this person was right! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5

It's Okay. I love the app. I love the stories and it's cool how on any device you get to pick the stories you want to read. Unlike on Yarn which I still have, you can only pick the stories you want if you have a iPhone which I don't. There are only a few bad things: You have to use real life money to look at the pictures which can get really annoying when you want to understand the story more. You have to wait 20 minutes just for another chapter is annoying especially when the author has left it on a cliffhanger. I don't have too many issues though. It gas its ups and downs but all and all, if you can, you should download

Good app but has issues. This is an awesome app, I love reading the stories when I'm on my work break of if I just have nothing to do. There is one huge problem tho, I've found that the wait time says to be 30 minutes, but on multiple occasions it has taken way longer. For example I read before work, it said wait 30 minutes, worked for 5 HOURS jumped back on it to read some more and it said it still had 15 minutes. If this issue was fixed it would be a 5 star rating app.

you have to pay. i remember downloading this app years ago and really enjoying it because the stories where free and interesting, although you still had to pay if you wanted extra stuff but that was fine because it was still useable without paying. but today i downloaded hooked again because i just remembered years ago when i used to play, but i was greeted with a screen telling me to subscribe (which meant i had to pay money weekly to use the app). the game isn't free anymore and now you have to pay to use it! this would've been fine if it wasn't free to download, you cant use the app now! this new update is so stupid, the app was so good but now they ruined it by making it for money. don’t buy hooked, instead get another text horror game.

Writing your own story’s. Last year in 2017 I had this app and I loved it cause I could make my own story’s. Since then I had deleted the app cause I had gotten bored and had no space left of my phone. Today I have re downloaded the app after seeing a YouTuber using it and I was wanting to create my own story but when I logged in the part that lets you create your own story’s wasn’t there. I have gone through the whole app looking but what I want to knows is where is it? And if you have gotten rid of it, why did you get rid of it? And can you bring it back?

Bite sized stories for the instant gratification generation and time-focus challenged. This is fabulous! I'm loving reading stories as text messages. It's relatable and how we communicate often these days. Although I have to wait a half hour to keep reading for free every time I've used all my clicks to the next message, it means I can read a small amount of the story in between doing other things, not get caught up in a book, and stay productive with little exciting reading breaks inbetween! I set myself goals to get something completed in the half hour wait and once done can read some more! Fabulous idea!

Good story’s but a terrible platform.. The story’s are somewhat good and out of the ordinary but HOOKED as a application is just terrible. Pretty much all you can do is read the text and anything else you try to do you need to pay for, and sometimes even that isn’t enough. The fact that you have to pay a fair amount of money to use the apps few but annoyingly needed features when most people don’t even use it often is ridiculous. Overall HOOKED was just made by some cheap low life’s looking for a quick buck out of people idiotic enough to purchases the features within this app and your just better off with a book.

8 dollars a month!!!. You have to pay 8 dollars a month to use the app it is false advertising saying it is free don’t get this app

Consider this?. I love this app it's like reading a book, it keeps you hooked and it's more interesting to find out what's next. But the time is really annoying you don't get enough time to read and it 40 minutes to wait till you can read more, I think you could still keep the time just maybe decrease the time to 10-15 minutes.

HOOKED.. HOOKED is an amazing app and is great fun to read. There are some apps where you read book by audio but this one is so much better and different because it makes it so much more exciting when it is written in text like they were actually texting each other. There are apps like this but no as good as HOOKED!😃😃 HOOKED, I hope you feel proud and I have given you a five star rating. Well done. You have earnt it.

🙄😡. Used to be completely free now u have to subscribe and pay monthly or something. !!⚠️Needs to change⚠️!! Because I used to really enjoy

Subscription. The dumbest thing is that you have to pay to read a story. Just make it free, some parts premium, some parts not. I wouldn’t want to pay $8 to be reading stories every week.

I love this app but. I love this app but it’s just a but disappointing you have to wait 15 minutes to read the rest of one chapter and if u want audio you have to pay and if you don’t want to wait 15 minutes you have to pay. Some people just want to read without having to pay. Although the stories are amazing and I love reading them.

Hooked but the wait D;. Love this app it's so good, and the stories are great but the waiting time is a bit annoying, I wouldn't mind if they didn't seperate the stories into little snippets at a time, if they don't change the wait time they should at least let you read a bit more before having too wait 30-40 mins before you can read a bit more... but other than that, it's worth the download! (:

Magnifico. This app is amazing. I love the gripping story’s that are there and how if you are not subscribed you have to wait which makes the suspense even better. Although I agree this app is great I fell like there are to many features in the subscription policy but I would probably only feel that way because I’m only thirteen and my parents won’t let me buy anything that costs money on the internet. Anyway I love this game so much and I am hooked but if it is possible to make a few more features available without having to pay that would be great. Thank you for this wonderful app.

Very well. I recently started getting into games like this one but all of them have forceful purchases but instead this game you can buy it or you can wait a certain amount of time to play it. In my opinion that’s a better way to go instead of begging for money with everything the player does you instead let them wait 15 minutes and they can continue. I like that feature cause people who don’t like paying for games and just like having fun once in a while don’t have to pay they can just wait. And as well they don’t have ads they may add them soon to earn a bit more but yet it’s great.

Pay to play and cancer. This app is so boring, the stories are filled with uninteresting, unintelligent stories that seem overly generic and don't really show real life; like someone says don't do this 1 thing, other person says imma do it, person replies; be careful. So boring. Then on top of that, to see images you have to pay. You have to pay to read more of the story. Legit out for money. When I was young, I had cancer. It wasn't the best of times. The doctors didn't think I'd pull through, but after a few different treatments I managed to survive and it took me years to get back to what they considered would be full health. I've had a few scares since then which was worrying at the time, but after downloading this app I know I don't need a doctor to tell me that the cancer has returned. This app legit gave me cancer

You have to pay. I downloaded this game and played it a few years ago and I didn’t have to pay or do a email but now when I downloaded it again it says that I have to pay and do a email why isn’t it free anymore? So if you don’t really want to have to pay I would suggest not downloading this game and also look at all the bad reviews this game has.

Garbage!. It use to be free but now you need to subscribe. You can find apps exactly like this but they are free. DO NOT RECOMMEND! Don’t waste your time or money

Love the paywall. I was in the middle of writing something funny mocking the fake ‘free download’ and the annoying ads, but I tapped out of the review thing. Mighty not be a terrible game, but I wouldn’t know due to having to pay. Deleting this app might not be enough, I might have to throw my iPad against a brick wall and delete my Apple ID

Wird game. I do not like it

Seriously?. Ok…. I was really excited to start playing this cuz I love playing story games but I have to pay? Seriously! I recommend you DON’T get this app if you DON’T want to pay! I saw the add and I loved but I did not except to pay!

Have to pay. You have to pay to read the stories and it is super annoying. I downloaded the app hoping to be able to enjoy the stories but then had to see you have to pay. Super annoying

Could be great. I could love this game, but it is hard to. My only problem is the wait and cost. Seriously 30 minutes for the rest of my story. And I would be surprised if anyone payed for the monthly or yearly, heck even the weekly. I think a good idea for this game is to have either 20 minutes of waiting time and the choice to watch an add to half that. And instead of weekly, monthly and yearly payments make it like bundles. So, for example ghost stories, 10 stories for $12 and so on. I know why they do annual payments and that is so they can get more money. I think it's BS. I know they won't take my criticism into consideration but if enough people agree with me please write out to them so they know that some of us want change and hopefully if there is enough of us they will.

Good.... I'm enjoying this app so far because the stories are very entertaining, however, it is quite frustrating when you run out of hoots because it takes around 30-40 minutes for it to recharge and you only get about 5 minutes of reading (depending on how fast you read). I am giving this app 5 stars because the stories are very well written and it is a very enjoyable to read

How do I use for free. I want to use this for free. How do I use this app without getting premium? Please reply quickly.

Hooked. I am 100% loving hooked keep going on the stories I'm down to read those stories all day. The only thing that let me down was the subscription I want to look at images and not have to wait 30 minutes for 20 dollars a month. My opinion hooked has got the best stories I have ever seen but cancel the subscription it's just to popular I think everyone will agree with me about cancelling the subscription

Well… the adds where interesting but you have to pay money.. I had a steady stream of adds from this app until I decided to download it so i was really excited with the add and I thought that this app would be entertaining, but when I got onto it I saw you had to pay 8 dollars a month, it’s to expensive! It would have been more popular if you made it free, I really want to see the stories.

Scam app and homophobic af. It is a scam app it makes you pay 8$ a week! That’s a lot of money wasted! And I heard it was homophobic cause of other reviews and I don’t accept that it is homophobic and I bet the creator is also sexist 😒 (that means racist) I hope someday that App Store will let us rate things a 0 star or half a star, also if the creator IS homophobic and racist and or sexist then we all hate you AF creator…

Meh. So I got The app and then I know you have to make money but like 8 dollars a week is a meh for me I see so many good reviews for this app and watched so many videos for it so I wanted to get and my mum finally let me but now They are making you pay and I believe it used to be free so I am kind of disappointed because I really wanted to play

Why do I have to pay?. Why do I have to pay $8 a week? That’s a hell a lot of money. So disappointed!!!

Review for hooked. Hooked is an app which tells a story via a conversation between two or more person chatting on a phone like a normal person would in a usual text conversation. Hooked provides a verity of genre of stories ranging from scary stories, which makes you hide under your blanket for days, to funny stories, which will keeps your cheeks stiff for a few days from all the laughing. In my personal opinion, this app is awesome! I love the stories! They hook me in. See what I did there? Although scary stories freak me out but it also won't let me stop reading. I even stay up late to read these amazing stories. Although this app is very good, and I would definitely 100% recommend it, the short wait, between episodes, lets this app down a bit. I recommend taking the short brake to relax your eyes from the intense reading you just did and think about what might happen next. Hope you enjoy the app as much as I do and have fun getting hooked.

Could be much better.. Like everyone else, the waiting time of 30+ minutes is extremely annoying, why not have an ad instead in place of the waiting times (but reasonable amount, overdoing it will be overkill). Also I had a waiting time of 28 so minutes, half an hour later I check the time and there's 24 minutes waiting left???? There also seems to be a crashing issue each time it's loading back to the story. The idea of the app is alright, there's just these problems that bring it way down. If you want us to read the stories give us a chance!

Gr8 app only 1 prblm. I have been on hooked since 2018 and it was the 1st app to introduce chat stories and I’ve also seen massive updates the team launches but I don’t know why in this update I can’t see any of the video stories once I waited for bout 30 mins but it was still showing that buffering circle.

Not free. The app claims it is free yet I’ve downloaded and can’t gain access to anything. Still stuck on a “upgrade to premium” screen

What!!!. The only problem with this app is that you have to pay to get access I’m not attempting to act entitled, I just wish that for specific stories have to be paid for but my story should be free, And again I am not attempting to act entitled I just wish that some stories to be free

Bad reviews. I strongly don’t like this game having to pay for it is ridiculous distinctly terrible I’m trying to download a Game buT i Have To freaking pay stupid I cloud be bUyING gRoceries instead of this game HATE IT ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE GAME BAD EFFOTS!!! I mean look at you’re reviews!!

Please be FREE!. Why you make it not free. People always want us to ply so they can get money. Stop and Change it NOW!!

Worst app ever. Why do you need to pay this is just Wrong for an app that’s for free

Amazing but could be improved. This app is absolutely incredible. But I feel like we shouldn't have to wait so long before we can start reading the next part of the story. Within the next 6 updates I would love to see the time reduced to 25 minutes please❤️. I also would like some audio if that's possible? Other than those 2 small detail there is nothing wrong with the app. Thanks a lot. I ❤️ the app. P.S I gave the app a 5 ⭐️ rating

Great but has a problem.. These story's are great and I couldn't give anything short of five stars! BUT I hate the way you have to pay the read on, because I don't have enough hoots. You should be trying so kids could read free or something like that. In summary I love the reads there absolutely spooky, but they should be free to read and not have to use-in app purchases!

Garbage. It's a waste of your time you have to pay for everything and you don't get to choose what story you read. Total garbage it's a scam just for money

i liked when it was free. i had it before and it was free. why do we have to pay? please fix this.

Not worth it…. I get they need to make money but I wish they just kept it the way it was, by watching ads. Kinda wished they kept it that way. Oh hell, what they should’ve done was make it so we have to watch like 3 ads back to back and then make it uninterrupted for 30 minutes similar to how Spotify does it. And only shove the subscriptions if we want to remove the ads. On top of this, the stories aren’t even THAT great while it lasted.

I’m a kid. Why does this app want me to pay so much i have been like there for 1 hour and still do not let me read the Tiffany and mom story and I can’t pay because I am a kid I can’t just steal my mom’s credit card that is robbing I want this app to not let me pay so much so rude of the app

F*CK OFF. Liked this app until it stopped in the middle of the story and asked for money. Deleted.

Horrible. Made me pay extra plus, didn’t let me read anything

$6.49 per week!!. You only get 7 days free and then they make you pay $6.49 not per month, PER WEEK. They literally will try to drain your wallet dry. Don’t waste your time.

I hate how they made that you have to pay 7$ a week like just make it that every story like an ad. Not free

Make it free😐. The last time I had this app it was free and now it costs money. This app is horrible, and if you guys want scary typing stories just search “scary type stories” on YouTube.

UGHHHH👹😒👎😡. i really hate this, i have to wait soo much and i wasted 1 hour of my life

Disappointing. Why do I have to pay for the stories now? When I had gotten this app a few years ago it was free.

:(. it was free like awhile ago now u have to pay and if u wanna pay like 7 bucks a week then u do that but I’m not paying for it

This App sucks. This app is really hard to use it cost money and there’s so many ads DO NOT BUY

READ THE REVIEWS. I liked the app when it was free I don’t see the difference between paying and not paying ur like ur review stars are a 3.9 take the hint and READ THE REVIEWS if u made it free trust me this game could be a high 4-5 star cause the story’s in here are rly good

A free app thats not free. Annoying that its a "free" app but you cant even read a full story or see the pictures unless you pay? Should have it so you can read say 10 stories and then have to pay to read more or wait the hour to read more

Disappointment. Make it free 😐

Hooked. Very good app.. and it’s free!! Love the stories

You have to pay. I can’t access any stories, please make it free again

Tap RIPOFF. Has anyone but me noticed that this is a deliberate cash grab off of the popularity of Tap by the people who made Wattpad? What's next, an e-book service where you have to pay for each page? Plus the advertisements look like they were made with iMovie, even stealing the text format from the app. If you want an app better, go to Tap, and stay far away from this piece of crap (P.S I am not a staff for Tap/Wattpad, just my opinion)

Bad game. Make this game free, some of us are kids yk

Don’t get it. You have to pay for everything like what I would rather use wattpad

Bad. You have to goddamn pay! What nobody will that buy that!

Make it free again. Before u were able to read the stories and “wait🙄” 15 mins, and now u litterly have to PAY to use the app. This is seriously terrible.

Bad. Now I have to pay 7.00 a week to read stories it used to be free nothing is free. DO NOT GET THE APP 🤬🤬🤬

It’s not free 😐. Please make it free

WHY YOU ALWAYS LYING. On the add it says it completely free but you have to pay guys don’t waste your time

Dog Water App. Makes ads of thrilling stories and when u download the damn thing it shoves their stupid merchandise right in your face making you pay. Almost as bad as sImPlY PiAnO for crying out loud.

Make it free again. I liked it when you could read the stories without having to pay but now if I want to read them I have to pay please make it free again

Meh. Stories are good but it’s stupid that it will stop in the middle of the story and have to wait 15 minutes before you can continue, and you have to pay like $7 a week. I’ve had the app for like 2 months and now I can’t read anymore because all it wants is for me to make an account and take my money before I can even read anything anymore. 🙄🙄🙄

🤨. It sucks you have to pay for the app cause I was excited to read the stories 😔

Worst app ever. Worst app ever you have to pay to just watch texting stories

Have to pay to use it now :(. Sad that I have to pay to use the app

Every story is incomplete. This app used to be great and I used to like waking up and reading the stories on snapchat and then ended up getting the app. However, ALL of the stories lately are incomplete or left on massive cliffhangers...it gets frustrating and old after awhile. Maybe if they started actually putting in the effort to finish stories it would be better. They also put every single story on Snapchat FOR FREE, so don’t waste your money on the app since there are no new stories on the app.

Don’t even bother.. Your app sucks. You have to pay to read stories when a year ago they were free. I hope nobody actually buys your stinky stories.

Hoots shouldn't exist. Stop making me wait 30 minutes, I'm not paying you any money, especially not after waiting for hoots, only to have to wait for more after reading for 30 seconds

waste of time. i saw the ad and the story thing seemed interesting but they did me dirty and want me to pay money

Worst app. Its a scam to make money from ppl that are curious.

Bruh. Make it free 😐

Irritating. It only allows you to read one episode of every story abs u can only read for 15 minutes then you have to wait or pay money. You also miss parts of the story if you don't pay money.

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡. I saw an ad for this and I thought it seemed good but when I went in it slapped me in the face with a god damn subscription. I saw that there were in app purchases and thought that those would be for certain stories but not this bull crap

This is a complete scam whoever pays for it would be a shame.. Does not scare at all just gets you panicked for like a second and after that you would get really bored. If your curious go on YouTube to check out what is it like.

It used to be free, and didn’t overload u with ads but now it does.. Seriously change it back to before I wait 15 minutes every 2 mins to read and I still pay for garbage

Rip off. You only get to read bits of the story, then after it asks you to pay

Disappointed. Why can’t I read for free I used to have the app and I could read for free. I don’t have money to pay for them and I don’t have access to a library. I miss it being free. I am super disappointed and kinda frustrated like, you want people to use the app but a lot of people can’t afford the fees for the app. I mentioned it to my friend who I knew used the app, they have all deleted it and left bad reviews.

Eh. Good stories but it's stupid that it STOPS in the middle of a story and then you have to either wait to read more or pay...🙄

What?. It sucks that you have to pay. Make it free.

Good game. I love game because it gives me something to do When I am bored on thing I wish is that you can get on scary stories

Great. Great!

Hi. You have 1 week free then you have to pay

Confused. I’m confused how to get it for free I can’t get passed the opening thing and I logged in and everything

Used to be ok. Used to have this app years ago and thought it was okay. Made stories on there too that went big. Redownloaded recently and you have to pay 4.99 a week?!! Just for access?!!! Are you serious? your app is nowhere NEAR good enough or worth even a dollar a MONTH let alone $4.99. Get over yourselves. You should fix this otherwise yall r gonna have absolutely no users. There’s plenty of other better chat story apps that are free and miles better than HOOKED. You guys ruined your own app. Congrats

Paying what?!?. When I use to play this game it never gave you options to pay well it did but not just to read the stories. Before we use to use this app with ads and stuff now you have to pay WHAT- and the fact that the creator(s) of the app never even mention it got me a bit mad. Anyways yea this definitely deserves one star and don’t waste your money on it it’s not worth it.

You have to pay now ;(. I used to love this app in 2018 but later stopped using it. Yesterday I remembered a story that I read on here and I got nostalgic so today I downloaded it only to find out you have to pay now.. I mean $20/month, really?! The app was so much better when it was free. You just had to watch a few ads and after reading for a while, it makes you take a 15 minute break before reading again, I’d prefer that over paying money any day.

why?. years ago you didn’t have to pay for this dang app. you just had to wait some hours to continue reading a story. the stories were way better years ago anyways. anyways, you can’t even use it if you don’t pay for it. we’re in a pandemic and you want people to pay 5 dollars to use a reading app? that was free before? y’all got money hungry i see. which makes no sense seeing the big platform y’all have now (mostly to kids) the app probably isn’t worth 5 dollars period. and you still get ads and long wait times??? what are we paying for exactly? we pay our money just to be limited?? makes no sense you lose people that way more than “well make em wait so they can come back” no ma’am. you’ll get away with ripping kids off but not the now adults that used this app years ago. shame on y’all.

Everything costs now. I remember like maybe a year ago this app was almost all free and I could read stories and it was annoying i had to wait fifteen minutes to read like another page or two but the stories were entertaining. Now everything isn’t free and this is exactly why I deleted this app and won’t associate myself with it it’s way to expensive to read like a couple of stories

Payment. I had this app a few years ago, it was free. I decided to get it again, it is now pay every week! I don’t think so. A complete rip off! Apparently you guys aren’t reading these comments as well. If you were you would see that everyone is complains about the price, and you guys would have changed it by now. You are losing people by having us pay $5 per week. No one wants to do that! Fix it and it’ll be downloaded again.

You have to pay. I was so excited to get this app after listening to some of the stories on other platforms, but when I got it I realized that you have to pay for it now. I understand that they need to make money off of this app but it’s still irritating to not be able to listen to these stories for free.

READ THIS!!. so I want to start off by saying, the story’s on adds are entertaining so I wanted to finish it and download the app. then I noticed several things wrong with it. first of all, it requires money to get into it at all. I don’t mind paying 28 dollars but 28 dollars a month is a bit much, don’t you think? Anyways, and even if you do pay the 28 dollars a month, it STILL doesn’t work. I want this app to be fixed immediately.

Hooked. Hooked is literally my all time favorite app… it is so fun to be able to read books online-well,not exactly books, but you know what I mean….. anyway, I really do think that whoever made up hooked was almost the smartest person in the history of people.

Like others have said use to better. So I had this app some years ago and had fun on the app a lot like the story’s that were their and making my own but then deleted the app and I decided to get it back and found out about the paying thing which isn’t really that good to buy since you have to pay weekly and honestly just isn’t good something I'd pay for weekly,I hope maybe the can make it like it use to be 😔

Well. So I saw an ad on this game and I thought that’s kinda cool I think I’ll try it out but little did I know you have to pay before you can read/listen to a story. Yes I understand you guys need money but why can’t you make it so that you can pay for more story’s and make some free and some so that you have to pay a buck or two but most of the people’s parents don’t like to pay for something like this so if your parents or you don’t want to pay it’s a pretty useless app.

Used to be good. So I had this app a few Years back And I loved it, but i tried to get it back and it's like 8 BUCKS! It was better before because it was free, and I was so excited to get it back and read some scary stories. I think it would be better if it was free, not because IM broke, it's because if kids want to read on this app, they just CANT. Which I think is unfair to kids who just want to read some stories, and again this is MY opinion so you don't have to agree but, if you do please like.

Why. So basically I had this app a few years ago and I’m not sure when but that’s honestly beside the point. The last time I had this app it was free and it had great stories I could read. Now when I get the app because I saw someone use it, it makes you pay. Honestly I feel like paying for this app just to read some stories will make less people get it. So please don’t make people pay for it because you are attracting less people for this app. DON’T GET IT, IT’S NOT WORTH IT!

I guess you have to pay now?. I enjoyed using this app, I had deleted it awhile back because I didn’t use it. I remembered it not to long ago and I wanted to download it, I did but I guess you have to pay to use this now. After I read a story I would wait till the time counted down. I’m not paying 20$ just to use the app. Kinda ridiculous, if they change it I will use this app again I really enjoyed it before you had to pay. (I don’t mean to sound harsh I’m just stating)

Lying to the world. Honestly I think that sounds like a good game but it’s not because you have to pay to actually play the game and I don’t understand if you have a count you still have to pay to play the game they should’ve in the first place they should’ve just made it money but now you have to get the game for free but then pay to play the game that doesn’t I don’t understand if you want to tell me how actually to do it then you can tell me but unless I just don’t understand but yeah

High Prices!!. Back in the good old days, this app was free. Now although the stories weren’t that good, free stories are free stories. Now you’re offering the same stories for a five dollar up-charge? INSANE. This is actual B.S. Soon after this review has been sent, I will be writing to corporate. I will be reporting this app for hacking and scamming. I personally, don’t know ANYONE who would pay the price of five dollars a week. Please fix your app, and maybe you will get more customers. Worst Regards- Patrica A.K.A Patty Ferguson 😜

What I think. I used to have this app a couple of years ago and I loved it. Recently I wanted to redownload it just to see for fun but tue first thing that happens when you open the app is that you have to pay. You have to pay money to be able to read stories. It wasn’t like that when I had this app before. I was okay with watching ads and waiting for my time before I could read the next story. This is dissapointing.

i used to like it.... i have had the app downloaded in the past, and i absolutely loved it. it had the best horror and suspense stories, but, unfortunately, i had to delete it so i could have more room on my phone. i have been subscribed to hooked on snapchat for around a year now, give or take, and i absolutely love the stories they post, but they only post the first chapter, so i wanted to re-download the app to finish off those stories. i re-downloaded hooked only to find out that i have to pay just to use the app at all? what the heck! i mean, i understand making a profit but this was a really poorly made decision and i refuse to come back to the app unless hooked decides to rethink the payment requirement. some of us can’t afford $5 a week to read stories when there are plenty of other options to choose from. thank you for your time.

SUUUCKS. Bruh, you guys never thought a kid might want some horror in their lives! I’m 11 and I’ve been looking for something scary… but NO. You know why? All the apps like these have to be paid. At least put a kids version so they can have SOMETHING scary that they don’t have to pay for. I mean, you ever put any THOUGHT that kids don’t like scary things? You think we’re too scared. And if you put at least some thought into it, MAYBE PUT IT INTO ACTION!!!!!

I USED to love it. I loved reading stories on this app before you actually had to pay for it... there was always an option to pay without having to wait to watch a different part of the story or not receive any ads but I just dealt with them so i didn’t have to spend money. Now you actually have to pay $20 alone each month just to use the app?!? I’m sorry but that’s pretty high in price and disappointing because I used to like using this app a lot.

Fix this please!. I had this app 2 years ago and i was addicted! This was the only thing i would read😂 But then i got a new phone and i had to re download the app but i have to pay for it this time!? Like what a rip off. I miss whenever i can just reaf the stories without paying😭

A scam. I’ll say why.. April 1st, 2022. I consider this a straight came as you have to pay for a trial— dumb, right? 12 year olds are children and you can’t assume they/their parents have that type of money, as of some families are less fortunate than others. I think it would be better to just let the kids get on the app..You know… for free? I see that you want money and your marketing towards kids. But it’s not a great way. And I’m no business expert, but you should just let us get on the app. You may say “You sure are hooked on it if your saying to make it free.” No, I just wanted to finish an advertisement story. And I downloaded the app, and it turns out to cost money. And again, I’m no expert, I just rather it be free. Sincerely yours, Anonymous.

Not worth it anymore. I used to read these stories on Snapchat and I wanted to reread some of my old favorites that I have been thinking about. But when I downloaded the app it says I have to pay 5$ a week! That’s expensive for an app like this. Why would someone want to spend 20$ a month on reading fictional chats when you can spend 10$ month or less on most streaming service. I used to really enjoy the stories but now I’m just going to find something else.

honestly what is…. I used to have this app a few years ago. It was great it had interesting stories. I redownloaded it to only see that I have to pay in order to even get into the app. seriously?? wth. I get that people need to make money but if you’re gonna do that then at least don’t mark the app as free when it’s really not. The app is also very very overpriced. So disappointing. I was excited to see what new stories this app had.

Bad app. I can’t sleep and a 3 years ago I downloaded this app it helped me a lot but I deleted the app because I found a better way, I downloaded this app again and now I have to pay in order to read stories that is a ripoff I do not recommend this app unless you don’t care about spending your money for stories I give this 1 star but I love the stories and the kinds of stories. In my opinion, I think this app is a complete rip-off.

Only (2) 5 ⭐️ reviews in the last year. Can’t believe you have to pay to even open the app, to use ANY features of the app. This app is ONLY free to download, not use in any facet. I’m clearly not the only person who thinks this is ridiculous &/or is unhappy—I scrolled through all of their reviews for the last year, and I only saw (2) 5 ⭐️reviews, maybe (1) 4 ⭐️, a couple 3 & 2 ⭐️s, and a whole lotta 1 ⭐️s. The stories & variety aren’t good enough to warrant paying $7.99 per week. Just sayin’….🤷🏼‍♀️

Love ittttttt. Ok im 12 years old I’m in love with this game it’s awesome.I can’t stop playing my room needs to be cleaned my moms told me to clean my room like 6;times but I haven’t been able to take my eyes a off the game make that 7,she told me to clean my room while writing this review and I don’t wanna get grounded;so ima end my review here but I’m in love with this game.

Rip off.. Hi, so this is my rating because this app has changed so much since 2-3 years ago. I was addicted, caught up on many stories, and put EVERYONE on this app. Until today, I saw an ad for this app called “Yarn” then I remembered about “Hooked”. I was just noticing that in order to read a story, you have to pay. I think this is an absolute rip off. I would now be rating a 2, and finding another app.

Tbh. I gave this 1 stars because I found out that you had to pay for it and I don’t mind doing that but it’s just, I see it as a rip off for paying something just to read just a few story’s. I get that you have to make money off of apps but I don’t think you should pay to just read something. Maybe I’m just dum. It’s just my opportunity I’m sorry if you guys don’t feel the same but I just wanted to show everyone my feelings and how feel.

I’m disappointed. I come to the App Store every so often to check on this app , I download it and you still have to pay smh it was sooooooooo much better when you could use the limited edition. You could watch half of a movie then wait until the timer runs out to finish watching it. I use to love this app but I don’t anymore.. it’s ridiculous that you have to pay 😐

Hate that you have to pay in order to read the stories. I had the app for about 2 years then deleted a year later I decided to download it again because of the scary and other genre stories that were on this app so I downloaded it again and saw that I had to pay for it just to read the stories whoever made this app and did that could you fix that because I I loved reading all of the stories

it’s not the same anymore. i decided to download hooked bc i remember watching a YouTuber play it years ago. it came up as an add so i decided to give it a try. the YouTuber i watched didn’t need to pay a single thing to use the app. but when i tried it made me pay. I get u need to earn money from a app but just to use the app entirely. That’s insane. It’s not the same anymore. I hope that the creators of this game change the game back to when u didn’t need to pay anything to read the stories.

I don’t want to pay. I used to have this app on my old phone and it was fantastic but now I actually have to pay to read the stories and it’s just sad,and why do we have to pay anyway? Like I want to read these stories cause it’s really good and now I’m just sad :(

It use to be good. I use to use this app a lot because I love scary stories and I wanted to see the app again so I got it back but now you have to pay to use and have no other option and now I won’t be able to use this app again and I was completely fine with waiting 15 to 20 minutes to read the rest of the story but now it’s just a waste of space

I have to PAY now?. So, I have had a great experience with hooked, YEARS ago at least. I downloaded it a couple of years ago and saw it was free. But then, I downloaded it now and I have to pay?? Please, it’s JUST a READING app!! I’m fine with epic, the other reading app, because it has a reason to pay for a subscription , and a good one. The new hooked players, or should I say readers, will never get to experience the joy of having it free.

Thank you.. I honestly just love this app, I love stories and even when I’m in school and my teacher reads a book I love it. I’m just grateful this exists because I like being read to. It’s Like my mom is reading it. All I want to say is thank you for making this.

Too bad I can’t use the app read to understand..... You guys should not have people to pay to use the app this app was amazing and I loved listening to the stories but it got terrible after I open the app one day seeing that I had to pay to listen to the stories I had fun reading stories but I guess now it’s time to find another app. One day maybe one day you guys would change your mind about having users that pay.

It used to be great…. I had Hooked about 2-3 years ago and played it everyday because it was so addicting, but I changed phones and didn’t it again until now I decided to get it again because how much fun I had on it but now it’s pay to watch. 2-3 years ago I’ll give this app a 5 star but now that it’s pay to watch I’m sorry it’s a 1-2 star.

Glitch. When I got this I was really exited but when I got it it was like “but my the in app purchases” and I didn’t want to right then but no “x” at the top of the screen would appear I tried to restart my phone and check for a IOS update but nothing and it still dose it I really want to read these stories my friends have this app and said what is happening did not happen to them or they where Abel to make the purchase please let me know when this is fixed A.S.A.P I look forward to reading on this app thank you

Ruined. When I was younger I loved getting to read all the fun and spooky stories so when it popped up today as an ad I downloaded it and was excited to read some stories today. When I saw you had to pay I thought maybe it could just be for vip stories but nope you literally have to pay to read some silly little fun stories. Totally ruined the movie, guess all just have to find a different app that does it for free.

This Is Great. I love this app and here’s why. First of all this app has very interesting stories to read and is it just me or does this app take away all of my stress. One thing I would recommend is that you should make more categories to chose from. And that’s all.

Pretty good. It’s pretty good but the thing about is that there is a lot of old stories from like 5 years ago or 10 years ago when it comes to the horror section it seems they don’t have anything new

A review and requests for the app. Hi I have downloaded the app for fun but it asks me to sign in or pay to read the stories which I feel is not okay to children who have downloaded the app like me if you could pls have a sign up option for people

Cant unsubscribe without account password. I need to unsubscribe but am having difficulty because my grandson subscribed to this and I don’t have his account information. He apparently forgot it. I’m being charged every month for the last two years and I can’t afford this. I have tried going to the website for the app but unfortunately it didn’t give me anything useful.

ugh. I wish i could give this 0 stars. When i downloaded the app, i was so excited! But when I opened it, i couldn’t get past the ‘hooked unlimited’ page. I never saw an X or an option to continue with the free version!! This is soooo annoying because i never got to actually use the app!! Developers, if you are seeing this, can you please help me try to fix this because i would love to use your app!!

My honest opinion. Summery for those who don’t want to read my paragraph: It’s an amazing app overall, but paying to read is stupid Recommend: Horror- Dzuma Where is she Deal with the devil The pill 20 questions Drama- The pill Magic Locker I’ve been on and off of this app for a while, honestly since one of my favorite YouTubers posted it (Around 5 years ago) It’s been a good app, I’m still addicted to it, but paying to read is bloody stupid. Only some stories should cost, ones that I think are amazing such as Dzuma and Where is she (Both I would recommend to horror fans). That’s just my feedback, but overall it’s an amazing app!

used to be great…. about 3 years ago i downloaded this app after seeing it everywhere. i would read those text stories every single day. i was definitely addicted. i deleted it and about 2 years re down lord it in hood that there would be some new stories. however, i learned that i has to pay to read these stories. i somewhat feel that nobody should have to pay 4.99 A WEEK to read some fictional stories

This app used to be good back in 2017. I used to be addicted to this app back when it was free now you have to pay more than a netflix subscription its not worth it anymore (dear devs, just go back to ad revenue youll get more downloads and people would actually enjoy it better than breaking bank.)

Such a scam. Ugh. This game is just… a scam! I downloaded this and waited forever for it to finish and then when I got there, it just made me pay for subscription! I’m under fifteen and you make me pay?! Probably other kids have already tried to download this game and end up deleting it because it is such a scam. DONT download this. It charges you FIVE bucks. That’s just too much. A normal magazine would be $2 or smth. Please don’t waste your time. There are other apps you can try. Thank you for reading!!!

Why the money grab?. This app used to be very good. The stories were interesting, and I enjoyed them. But now it seems like you have to pay to even read them. It would make sense to pay extra for certain stories, but having to subscribe to this app just to even read it is unacceptable. it feels very selfish. Personally, I don’t know anyone that would pay five dollars a week just to read these. Although they are good, just not worth the money.
