🍅I grew up reading hooked when it was a interactive horror app i saw something that reminded me of the good dog story about not turning on the light quickly realized it was full of ai slop and didn’t even include the original storys

Hate aiThis was my favourite app when i was younger, but the same storys i listened to i can’t listen to anymore, have ai covers, and the whole app is way worse

ScamThis is a scam app. No stories, nothing pops up when you subscribe or purchase it. There is absolutely no content in this app. Run.
