5/5I don’t like it.. I love it
So I recently got this, app called “ hooked” and it’s absolutely not worth it at all. But this app is a whole different story. It’s so much fun and you never run out of stories. All my friends got this app and it’s so good no glitching at all but the ads are just very annoying. I would definitely recommend, I just wish you can make your own stories for free. Whole app is good and free use. For every story it’s free and it’s so detailed that they even have pictures. They should even add calls. People are just telling lies in the most critical one. One person said that they saw a creepy creature which is obviously not true. And one person said they hope this game gets banned and it’s not a game first of all and plus this game is so awesome. Just say that you’re jealous and mad because it’s not your type of stories💀 anyways. One person said that it’s not that scary and it’s not supposed to be that scary like bfr so do not believe the most critical ones because most of them are just not true.

2/5Please update it or fix some stories
Addicted is a app where you can read scary text messages, but none of them are scary actually. I read a couple of them, they didn’t spook me at all. It does have bad words in it and words kids shouldn’t know, but it’s not over the top, this should be 9+ or 4+ because all of the scary stories is like a 3rd grader made it. Can you please put thought into your stories and make the start and ending make sense? The begging of the messages is just going right into the horror, for instance: “OMG A MAN IS IN MY HOUSE!!!” Do you ever seen a begging like that- and what’s up with all the exclamation marks? You’re only supposed to put one or at least two if you’re doing question mark and exclamation mark. I read a lot of them and they’re like: “A man is in my house” or “Omg y/n just died!..” The photo of the story looks cool and kinda scary, but.. When you read it it’s nothing like the story, the story is boring and not scary. Can you update this and give more work and details into it? I’d appreciate it if was actually scary. I’m 10 and I’m not even satisfied with your stories, I can even do better than that. I mean like c’mon- But the stories do get me a little entertained so I’ll give you a star for that.

5/5i love this!!
where do i even begin??? okay so, at first i’ve been very interested in scary texting stories and so i downloaded the competeters app “hooked.” which is absolutely not worth it, then i found this one. and oh my gosh how did i not choose it in the first place!? it’s free to read everything, to look at the pictures and to read stories there’s only like 2 second ad’s that you can skip and it still gives you the pictures/stories! even the texting stories are great, i’ve only read a few and they aren’t dirty or have loads of swear words that aren’t realistic, i’d say if it was a movie it’d be probably PG. just cause of the few swears that they use but it’s not like f-bombs ever second, it’s realistic because i don’t think if a weird ghost was in your apartment and you were scared to death, i don’t think you’d say “son of a biscuit.” anyway, 10/10 wish i could give more stars it’s amazing!!!

5/5Perfect
All right, do I use this app particularly on the weekends because I don’t need to sleep on the weekends if I don’t want to. I have a later schedule etc. For some reason I love watching or listening to scary stories, and sometimes make up my own. When I was 6 my dad told me about the boogeyman. And I was very scared. I started using nightlights and teddybears. I still use led lights and I have MUCH less teddy bears. (They are mostly squish-mellows) After that I boosted up my scaring tolerance. I watch scary movies all the times. And scary ones. This app really makes me happy and sometimes scared. I just downloaded hours ago and I’m already on my 28th story. This is truly explicit. I make-up stories with an app called TextingStory. You should download, because you get to make up stories and Post them as videos if you want. This app does a lot, story tellings etc. This app recommends good stories.

4/5I got a lil scared cuz of this.....
*SPOILERS* So I finished reading one of the stories. 2 people died in it. But, that wasn’t the scary thing. Right after it ended and said someone died, it kicked me out of it. I tried to go back in, but it didn’t work. So I deleted it. I just downloaded it again and went back in. Now it’s working, but it really creeped me out. I read up to The First Night and none of them made me that scared. They aren’t scary but some are kind of sad. Mama almost made me cry because the baby died, and The Third Sister was sad because 2 of the sisters lived but Grace died. :’( EDIT:so I downloaded it again and I just read Blind Date Gone Wrong and it’s not even a picture of the guy who wants to kill Emily it’s just a picture of Michael Myers like no offense but use better pictures btw none of them are scary my favorite is Chain Letter. EDIT 2: I was reading The Imposter and u messed up dan was supposed to say something but emma said it trust me u messed up EDIT 3: in dont fall asleep THATS NOT A RANDOM KILLER THATS JASON LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS LEGIT JASON!!!!!!!!
