Reviews for Hooked

Yup not worth it. It only has 2 story genres, scary or romantic. i thought there would at least be a variety. I read the reviews before downloading but wanted to see for myself. it only played about 30 seconds of a video then gave the option to wait 15 minutes to continue watching, try […]

Stupid app. Downloaded it from an ad. Never mentioned having in-app purchases, which I think you need to get access to more stories. it makes you wait after a few advancements in order to get you to either subscribe – yes, pay a MONTHLY FEE – or wait patiently while you fester, “oooh, i wonder […]

It took me most of the afternoon to hear the first story in its entirety. The breaks occurred in awkward places and the only way to skip them is to agree to either pay right away or get one free week and $4.99 per week thereafter. Knowing that it’s usually extremely difficult to get out […]

There are way better apps available for reading short stories that DON’T require any kind of subscription. Idk anyone stupid enough to pay $4.99/week or $39.99/yr just to read random stuff. Not to mention theres no form of library to choose what you want to read. I downloaded and it immediately started on something I […]

As many others have said in reviews, I also had the same experience. I downloaded it only a couple months ago and everything was fine. It use to have some stories that you had to pay for to read, but there was plenty that were free to enjoy. NOW you have to PAY for EVERYTHING. […]

I remember back when this app used to be free. Now they want 20$ a month to use it. That’s just outrageous. I’d give it 0 stars if I could. Just gonna uninstall the app and never reinstall it again as long as they want 20$ a month to read stories. I can go get […]

Foolish me got sucked in by a Facebook ad. Showed a product that the makers could not deliver on. 15$ a month to read subpar stories and see images. There is an option to wait 15 minutes to read on but at that point you could have lost interest, plus after the 15 minutes you […]

You have to pay after a week to keep this app running, plus you have to restart the story’s if you so much as leave the app. Edit: I uninstalled it that day and reinstalled it to see if it improved. NOPE! Now you can’t even get into the app without paying. Top 8 free? […]

Been seeing ads for this pop up on YouTube a lot. Often tend to have fairly gripping beginnings, so I decided to give it a try. Don’t make the same mistake. This app is a waste; you don’t even get to pick which story to read, and it makes you wait 15 frickin minutes after […]

Make the app cost money. This app is pay-to-read disguised as a free. I installed to read one story to see how the app as a whole is, and I couldn’t even get to it. Plus, even if there wasn’t a story you couldn’t leave when you first open the app, the time limit for […]

Try to remember what you may have seen in the ad. Interesting storied, always ending on cliffhangers. Open the app, and you get two options: Scary and Romance. Choose your preference, you sure as hell don’t get to pick the story. Immediately after you decide on a genre, a 30-second video starts to play. It […]

I hate this, it seems better on the ads than on the actual app. Right as i was in the horror story, it wanted me to get hooked unlimited just so i could look at an image. Then, right as i was almost through the middle of the story, it wanted me to wait a […]

I really used to love this app. I read so many stories awhile back that were epic and the way the app looked was really unique. Imagine my surprise when after not having used it for a bit and downloading it onto a new phone that not only has it changed, oh no, you have […]

I really enjoy the stories and I’m not even bothered by the brief 5 minute wait time every so often. The only thing that’s getting on my nerves is the glitching. I was through 8 chapters of a 10 chapter story and now it won’t let me open it. I keep getting this “an unexpected […]

I just got the app. As soon as I opened it, I was asked wether I wanted scary or romance. I chose and it went to a video (pretty sure it was an ad). Not even 20 minutes into said video it says I have fifteen minutes before I could use the app. waiting to […]

I uninstalled about 5 minutes after using it because 1. it has no flow, you have to hit the next button for every message, 2. you can’t see the pictures without paying, 3. can’t get through one story without a 20 min waiting period. This is a cash app, plain and simple. I can’t even […]

The story is interesting. However, you’re suppose to be able to earn more points by reading but you can’t because you’re unable to select that option. It’s covered at the bottom of the page by either a banner ad or a banner stating the chapter your reading which is unnecessar. This is the worst app […]

This game is not free. In the ad, it does not say it is payment or anything. So i have a valid reason or point to rate a 1 star. I really dont like the amount of features like access to video, photos, etc when I can easily search up videos but id thought this […]

Your interface is terrible. No way to access user settings. No subscription offered. No way to access purchase options from the main screen & embedded within the story paging. Altogether, poorly designed and predatory. No book is worth this. I’ll go to my local Barnes & Noble or shop on my other apps instead.

I wish this app was user-friendly. There’s absolutely no way to access chapters. When you close out the app, it doesn’t save the chapters you have already read. It takes you back to the beginning and deduct coins for chapters you have already read. I had to tap all over the screen to figure out […]
