Ratings and reviews

Adding more stories is EXTREMELY unintuitive. I've downloaded several IFs and when I click on them from downloads, HP doesn't pop up as one of the options to read the file. So far, I only have the "essential pack" that HP suggested installed since it seems the app is hellbent on making the process of adding games difficult as all hell. Other than that, it works well for what it's supposed to do. However, since it's nigh impossible to add more games, I'm gonna have to uninstall. Shame.

Experiencing the same issues as other reviewers: cannot go anywhere from the default screen that says "no stories installed". Trying to download preselected stories puts the files in the game directory, but nothing changes in the app itself. Also, trying to open supported files from a file manager fails with "could not read the story file". I'm running Android 10 on a Samsung Galaxy phone. Would really like to see some more support for this app, and would definitely pay for a working version!!

Pretty sure this is abandon ware.. The keyboard covers up the screen as you type so typing errors are not immediate right away. Which is a huge issue in text based games.
