So recently ive been getting ads for an app called "Hooked" that promises spooky stories of varying genres conveyed in a back and forth text fashion. Interested for this type of read, i downloaded it. Its free so why not.

Instead of loading all at once you click through a next button and it feeds out a story. Overall theyre interesting but bland with lots of modern text lingo.

Heres the scam.
Every ten or so messages is blank. They also extend it by putting in notations of time differences between messages, and OMGs thrown in. Not the worst, until you find out you only have 50 messages every 50 minutes. Ive gone through three stories now and it works out to about 250 messages each. Between each set is an ad to subscribe for these stories, 8$ gets you a week of unlimited stories and there are monthly packs for more money, etc. But the stories are invariably disappointing.

Tl;dr spooky story app is a scam and the stories are bad, just find them reposted on reddit or some shit
