  1. 5/5Regarding “Blaze” Currency.

    I downloaded this app when it first launched on the App Store. The app had an incredible idea with users being able to publish their stories and read other stories completely for free. The new “Blaze” can be used to tip creators and to get more traffic to your story, however this is outweighed by the fact it cost blaze to read the story at all. There are many people who would agree that they would rather the app be loaded with advertisements than to constantly buy blaze to watch a featured series or to read a story. For a fix I would recommend you to give readers daily credits. These credits only last for that day and will allow readers to read 3-5 stories in one day. After they run out they could be prompted with watching an ad or buying credits. Buying the credits would of course be permanent and not just for that day. The main problem with blaze is that it makes the description of the app inaccurate. While we can technically do these things for free it’s not able to be earned by an average reader/watcher. It’s not a bad idea on paper to use blaze, however I would consider changing a few things about it before you do anything else. Some of my friends have started uninstalling the app or just making a new account for more blaze.

  2. 5/5Not just a platform; A warm place to stay.

    I should preface this by saying I am not swayed by any outside factor, this review is genuine. Around the launch of this app, I downloaded it just to test the waters if you will. I ended up writing a 10 part series, followed by an ambitious 19 part series and a couple short stories. Needless to say this app got me excited to write, and has actually molded a career for me; yes I am a full fledged writer BECAUSE of StoryFire. This app does a lot of things well, but instead of being a jack of all trades, master of none, it actually rivals bigger corporation owned platforms such as YT, and Twitter. Social media? StoryFire has you covered. Writer? That too. Blaze allows you to monetize your work, and with so many users you’ll feel right at home instantly. All in all, I wanted to thank Jessie and Brian for all their hard work in this app- as well as the users who make it so fun to sit down and write a story. Hope this review helps sway you to join the inferno that has started, Stay lit — #Litmas

  3. 1/5accessibility issue

    hi there I don’t know your name and I love the platforms idea however I will say this I’m blind and I have an iPhone and I have been trying for over two years now to log into the site or app or whatever however it will not let me select my birthday correctly whenever I try it says it selected but then when I hit done it didn’t select please fix this also there are blind people out there who use a screen reader called voice over make sure that buttons are correctly labeled and that it’s easier to navigate when selecting your birthday the sign in is complicated and I think that if you sign in with Google or Facebook you should be able to tell the birthday based on the account this is a big accessibility issue and could draw people away from using your app. Also please reply back. And you should list how to contact you in case of any feedback or questions. For those who don’t know and for you as well screen reader is a built in well, voiceover is a built-in screen reader that is on all Apple products this has to be accommodated for which you did not do very well. If you need help please reply back with your contact information i’ll be glad to help. Please reply back to my review I’m sorry it was so long but I had a lot I wanted to say also you should make the app able to be used on the M1 MacBooks which is the 2020 model and I love the app again it just needs some work.

  4. 3/5Make it easier to navigate and see thumbnails of videos

    Just downloaded this app it needs work it needs to be easier to view videos for example the thumbnails are clipped sometimes and when you’re watching a video and want to raise the volume when you swipe down it pauses the video that may be beneficial to some viewers but I think it should have an option to either pause when you swipe down on the screen or the video can keep playing also it needs a better theme I think there should be a dark theme and a light theme and maybe you could make custom or other themes with different colors for color deaf people that can be purchased for cheap with blaze points I also hope you never sellout or let any major billionaire buy you out I also hope you don’t censor ANYTHING on this app no matter how gore and messed up the subject may be I also wanna let you know don’t let fake online bots sway your view on how you should do things people like major news stations pay to make thousands of bots attack you online so you can censor a certain subject to further push a political agenda thanks
