Hooked App Reviews

While the idea is awesome, I feel like there are a few key factors which deter people from really enjoying the app. First off, when you first download the app it launches you into some random story instead of allowing the reader to choose a story. You start out with only one free read a day, so the reader feels initially cheated. For example, I wanted my boyfriend to download the app to read one of my stories, but once he downloaded the app his one free story was wasted on the starting story. He had to wait until the next day to read my story which was frustrating. A way to fix this would be to start everyone out with 3 free stories instead of 1. By doing this you can still have the starting story as an introduction to the app. While I feel like there are a few flaws to this app, there are also quite a few things I enjoy. I like being able to earn unlimited reads for a year by writing your own stories and getting a certain amount of views on it.

I dont get why this app is so addicting to me, but it is! Its like s dramatic soap opera and I have to know what happens next! I just dont like that mid story you have to wait 30-60 minutes for the rest of the story!!!

I like it a lot but for some reason when I try to sign up, the DONE button isnt there. I might be doing something wrong but no matter what the DONE button isnt there. Otherwise everything is cool. But the hoots thing is somewhat annoying.

I like this app, I think the stories are really cool and I enjoy reading them, but I cant stand only reading about 10 text messages and then having to wait more than 30 minutes to finish the story, that was a terrible idea

I didnt think this was going to be a good app but Im surprised! Ive been loving all the stories. I just wish they had more background on the real stories like the first one I read. Also I dont you should pay just to get more hoots, but other than that its really good.

Its a great app except you can only press about ten text and we need more hoots. I also dont like how we cant pick our own story to read

This app is great you should get it

This app was cool until I ran out of hoots (the ability to keep clicking to advance the story) it says it has to recharge and to come back in a half hour. I waited an entire day and got less then 10 hoots, which doesnt allow you read the whole story. Im not paying to read this stuff, I can find better stories online for free. I uninstalled it. I might have kept it if waiting a day would allow you to read a whole story.

I love them they are great

LOVE THIS APP SO MUCH OMG

I deleted this app today. I was trying to get through the first dumb story I was forced to read through, but the forced feeling of the SMS language kept turning me off. Then, yesterday, the app starts blowing up at ~10:15 AM Eastern Time to let me know Ive been permitted to read a bunch of inane garbage that I didnt select. Theres around 10 push notifications that arrive right on top of each other, so my phone blows up and its something I didnt request. Bye Hooked; maybe youll figure yourself out or youll find an audience that wants to be bombarded with "Becky U der Im in a box N I luv U

If you downloaded this because of Facebook, spoiler alert, the guy gets kidnapped and its the girls sister. She kills herself at the end and the girl and guy live because the girl chose her fiancés life over her own. I tried another story once I finally finished the first one and it was so stupid. Like sooo stupid, and I imagine the rest are the same.

Its a good concept, but realistically, who wants to read part of a text convo then have to wait 30 minutes or more to read another few, then wait again? Not me at least. If you want to make people pay, then make it a paid up or be up front with it. This isnt worth money though.

Its a good app, its just very hard to use. I cant create a profile-I fill out the info and at the bottom it says "by clicking done you are"...etc. but there is no done button? I cant make a profile and its hard to go to different stories. But occasionally I can get it to go back to the stories with some random clicking.

I love this app!!! I cant stop reading the horror stories!

I love reading and with being a stay at home mom, these are Quick storys I can read any time. They could not have picked a better name for this app. When I run out of hoots I will set a timer so I know I have more. When it makes me wait, it never fails to leave me at a cliff thus giving me time to think what could happen next. Which just builds the anticipation for the rest of the story!

The stories are great but I hate having to wait 30 mins to finish the story:/

I cant get enough!! I love the stories!!

And books and letters and life

First off, dont listen to the people that say its dumb you cant choose your first story. So what, you get another pretty quickly. While I dont like waiting the 30-45 minutes when I run out of hoots, its not like its gonna kill you to wait. Patience is a virtues my friends. I have enjoyed every single story Ive read so far (guessing around 30). I love thrillers like a lot of the stories are and plus when the 30 minute wait pops up, the anticipation of whats going to happen next is fun I think. This is all coming from a guy who couldnt stand reading in school and up until I downloaded this app I didnt touch book or anything. Well done hooked. Well done.
