I love this app. I got the subscription so I can listen to everything. I’ve only had the app for a few days and have listened to over 20 stories. I’m hooked! They have some videos but I’ve gotten a lot of just the audio versions and that works for me so I can listen to it while I’m doing things. Seriously 10/10, definitely recommend for my fellow true crime watchers!
Utterly disappointing

Saw it on Instagram looked promising so I decided to download the app. Not saying this is their problem, but I went through many of issues with my Apple account while trying to download this app I was very determined. Only to create an account sign in and everything, none of my stories would play. It kept telling me that I had to purchase a package or start a free day trial I am very perturbed with the way the developer has brushed off everybody else else’s negative reviews because this is the same problem….A LOT…of people have when downloading this app. I will be deleting the app and suggest nobody else puts it on their phone. Can’t believe I went through all that trouble for nothing.

If you’re a true crime fanatic like me then you will understand why having this app is a must! Endless true crime shorts in the palm of your hand. There’s so much to see from familiar stories we all know and so many new ones that will have you wondering “How did I not know about this!”. This is definitely an app you will use everyday!
Terrible

I really wanted to like this app but I’m sorry I paid $40 for it at this point. The AI narrator voices are horribly glitchy and unrealistic, and sometimes just say random things while telling the story. A few times lately the app just shuts down before the story is over and I have to go back into it and find where I was. Underneath the romance section there’s one I wanted to listen to called The Perfect Neighbor but every time I click on it, it plays The Retreat. There’s some bugs somewhere that need to be addressed. 2 stars because I did like a few stories I was actually able to play til the end.
