User Reviews

Users praise Hooked for engaging stories and strong plots, but criticize a shift to paid access and monetization. Recurrent complaints include subscription costs, reliability issues (crashes, login problems), and a problematic coin/reward system. Overall content quality is high, but monetization and stability are major pain points.
Pros
  • Engaging, well-written stories with solid plots.
  • Stories are entertaining and keep you guessing.
  • Some users value the library for unique or hard-to-find titles.
Cons
  • Subscription is required to use the app, with high ongoing costs (e.g., weekly $9.99) and diminished free access.
  • App reliability issues: frequent crashes, not opening, and login problems.
  • In-app currency and rewards system is confusing, expensive to use, and prone to bugs (coins disappearing, daily rewards issues).
  • Perceived shift toward monetization and 'greed,' with users feeling the app has moved away from a free/fun experience.

I haven’t been able to use the app for a while and after updating, the only option is to sign up for a $9.99 weekly subscription?!! I won’t be re installing this app.

Don’t know what AI trash this is, but I miss the old version of this app when it was real stories which now I can’t access and are all gone. 1) the app won’t open on my phone(it stays stuck on the blinking owl eyes), 2) when I try to access on my iPad I can’t create a login. It forces me to use my Apple ID and to only sign up for the $9.99/week subscription, so I can no longer access my already purchased stories. Again, all gone. And no idea if those stories are anywhere else. The worst.

When I was like 12 this app was free and then all of a sudden I want to download it and now you’re gonna tell me, I have to pay to look at words on stories that are sometimes not finished please bring back the free feature
