1. 2/5Used 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.

2. 1/5Use 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.

3. 1/5Honestly..

   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.

4. 1/5Used to be free

   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. Edit: I did the calculations for the subscription. It’s $9.99 a WEEK. There are just over 52 weeks in a year. That means you are spending $520 a year on books and stories you most likely will not have full access to if other reviews are accurate. How many books (physical or ebooks) could you buy with all that money?

5. 1/5Used 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
