Doesn’t update often enough. I’ve spent a lot of money on this & the other apps by this company.. my biggest complaints are the high cost for “energy,” the small amount of free daily energy (of course), and the SUPER SLOW update frequency. This was the first app from 1492 that I downloaded & when I reached the finish about 8 months ago, I downloaded another one from them. I now have them all & have reached the furthest available points (they’ve made some $$ off of me) on all of them. Problem is: updates to the story line are now very few & far between - but they’ve since released new apps/storylines!! Frustrating as I’m unable to review the story I’ve now paid for & I have to try & keep all the storylines straight when they finally do update one... This company should have released fewer apps at once & focused more on releasing full storylines, then moved onto other characters, etc.
I’ve now read completely through four of the stories. If I were rating on the story alone, it would get 5 stars. I’m giving it two stars strictly for price and programming. For each story, I paid about $80-$100 for the energy to read through at my pace and for unlocking all the hidden scenes. I actually wouldn’t mind paying that much because it did provide several hours of good game play, and I don’t mind paying to support the artists and writers. What bothers me, is even after spending $100 on a story, if I want to reread through the same stories I’ve already paid for, I have to pay AGAIN! At least other apps, like Chapters, once I’ve paid for choices, if I reread through a story, I don’t have to repay for the energy (aka tickets in Chapters) and any decision I paid for is now free. So I pay upfront for the first read, but can reread for free. That’s really all I want when I spend $100 on just one of your products. Forcing for me to pay again is just greedy. Work with me people. I’ll pay for your product, but give me some reward for paying $100 on a single app! Let me reread AT MY PACE for free.
I love it, the story is so good, I don’t wanna put it down. Only thing is, is I wish you could pick from the story who you want, instead of you basically being told who you’re going to be with. Granted, it does say who you’ll be with in the title of the game, but I am more attracted to the drummer, Adam, so I wish I had the choice to be with him. I really hope, and really want an interactive story where you can be Adam. That’s the only thing I don’t like about it is that if you don’t like the “main” character that you can choose to be with someone else, but hopefully Adam will get his own story, and hopefully soon. I would really love to play his interactive story.
Is It Love? Colin is an interactive story in English. Like in a TV series, new episodes (chapters) are regularly released. You can download this love...
