I'll give it 4 stars because it's actually a really good app and it's fun to use and you can easily saveit into your gallery, when I was a child. I used to use this app all the time to make my own gacha stories, good times. Anyways, I'm only giving four stars because of the cost for everything, I understand it's cheap but not everyone can make purchases from their credit cards, some may not even have one. I understand game/app developers need money but it's just expensive for some other people.

This app is really good and I have had it for ages! There are no ads and it is the best fake texting app I have seen. My one problem though is that when you have more than two people in a conversation and have to switch between them it adds their name as a comment. With the brand new update I thought it would change it but it doesn't. Maybe you could make an option to turn those off because it's really annoying as I have to delete it every time. please make this a feature. thank you.

This app is really good! You can make up different story's and characters. It's easy to change the characters. If you make a mistake it allows you to delete it. You can also add loads of characters. It allows you to change the icon of the character for free which is good. It does have a few features that you have to buy though but they are very cheap. It is good for making videos with and just for having fun. I recommend to any age but it is easy to buy things. Overall good app.
