Lovestruck

It’s that time again to write on this app. Lol! I can’t help it. I love this app.

I want to start with the bad then do the good. First I have to say HELLO LOVESTRUCK! I only say that because literally after stating that Speakeasy Tonight does not have any unlock able art it got unlock able art. Hi, I am writing about your app again!

There some cons I have run across. I want to start with the bad then end with the good. Because this time the good out weighs the bad.

The biggest bug I have found in this app is between devices. I read this app on my iPad then on my phone. It shouldn’t matter where I read this app but it does. Since I logged into my FB with it, it should keep my stories but…it does and it doesn’t. Here is the biggest thing that is annoying to me.

First from device to device it never keeps my bookmark place. For example lets say I am in season two of a story on my iPad. When I log in to that same story on my phone it always goes back to season one. If I am not paying attention I accidentally put a ticket in season one when I am in season two. It’s so annoying! Because I prefer to read Lovestruck on my iPad but if I am away I check in on my phone to put in tickets and if I am not paying attention I waste a ticket on the wrong season.

Second biggest bug I have found of the device to device, again. It’s hearts weekend! Read so many chapters get hearts. Like I said I like to read on my iPad. However when hearts weekend comes by and I read chapters on my iPad it counts. HOWEVER! I decide to read some chapters on my phone, I have to start all over. Meaning from device to device you can’t continue the tier you are on. Have to start all over which sucks!

It does however keep what episode you are on just not the season.

One more thing that is more of an irritation then a bug. Is the trophy icon. This is where you can look at the pics you unlocked. Why is it in between the camera and gear? It’s a terrible spot for it! I more times then not I click the gear instead of the trophy. Would have been better on the other side of the camera or further away. Maybe on the other side of the heading.

Please fix the bugs soon. So we all can enjoy your wonderful app of stories.

Okay here is some bloopers.

I decided to read all of the stories on the app. Not all at once mind you but eventually all of them regardless of gender preference.

That means I went back to my very first story I started reading when I first got the app. The Starship Promise Captain Orion. This made me laugh so hard because it was so ridiculous and bad writing. Season one episode 6 there is part when Orion gives you a gift. Then you get the choice worth hearts and one without hearts as usual. The choice with no hearts is decline the gift. This is where it’s so funny! Your character says along the lines that you can’t except the gift because you are weird and can’t expect gifts for some reason. That made me laugh out loud for real! What terrible writing! How about I can’t expect a wonderful gift. Would have been a lot better. Please that was terrible and please fix that. It was so funny though so maybe keep it for laughs.

After this I will stop writing about it unless Speakeasy Tonight actually gets some chapters. I am tried of talking about this story and I am tired of reading it. I have one more character to read and that is Sofia Martinez. Here is art that is messed up and made me laugh that no one caught it. Since this app gets updated all the time, I am surprised and not surprised. They know this story is not going to continue so why fix it right?! Yes I think that has to be the reason.

Apparently her head is chopped in half. It’s kinda funny.

Now time for Pros.

This app is updated all the time!

The coolest thing about Lovestruck is when an update of a story it comes out it’s literally that day. You know I love to play Choices but Choices makes me wait for chapters. Which I don’t understand why because if they are made why make us wait? Lovestruck doesn’t. I could wake up at 2 A.M. and it will be there.

Lovestruck fixed it’s timer. Yes and it’s sped up as well. If I don’t pay I can still read three to four times a day.

There is ton of stories to read! Unlike a lot of other choice story games. Lovestruck has so many to choose from and a variety as well.

I want to point that your character isn’t a super model. Your character is an average person. I like this because it makes it feel like an average person can fall in love with someone gorgeous and fictitious.

Side note in the future it would be cool to have a character that was a little chubby. Also I would like to see more races as well. So far there is only two races for a ‘you’ character. Really though there is only one story ‘you’ play an African American and that is Villainous Nights.

You can review each season and stories with hearts. I think this is a great idea. At first I thought all the reviews would be positive but there are some that are negative. I like that because it shows real people are reviewing the stories.

One more thing the mascot for Lovestruck is adorable! See if you can spot in the art work you unlock. Also I think the mascot is a puppy so puppy love. Nice!

Here I go again with this app, Lovestruck (and probably not the last).

I have playing for some months and spent money on this app and I would like to revisit this topic. When I say spend money, I mean for tickets. I haven’t found spending money on hearts worth it. There is a reason for that. So far I have spent hearts on choices and it really didn’t impact the story I use them in, Speakeasy Tonight and Astoria Fate’s Kisses. Suggestion save hearts to buy stories that only cost hearts. That is worth it more than the choices with hearts.

Speakeasy Tonight: is still a broken story. A hint that it is a broken story is that there is no artwork that goes along with this story. As the other stories all have artwork you can unlock. It’s sad because I really like this story. Another story is comparable to this one but I will get to that. In Speakeasy Tonight it isn’t the same story line and I haven’t seen the characters say the same thing in different story lines like another story I will get to later. Each character has it’s own unique story line. Which makes it a cool a story. Also with Speakeasy Tonight all the chapters are long enough. However would have been nice to know it was a broken story so I wouldn’t have wasted actual money on it. Hope one day all the characters have an end but I think that would never happen. My favorite story in Speakeasy Tonight was the doctor.

Astoria Fate’s Kisses: not to be confused with Astoria Lost Kisses. Fate’s Kisses some of the chapters are too short! I have found in Hades and Cyprin so far that some of the chapters are really short. That is a waste of ticket in my opinion. I am not satisfied with the ending of Hades in this story. Easily one of my favorites in the series and the ending to me is lacking. The seasons leading up to the end was good until the last season where you and Hades have a kid. Because of this I am dreading all the ending seasons where you have kids with the Gods.  I am figuring that is why they have the other series with the Gods and I can see this being their most popular series. In this series I have found a lot of the same story lines and that sucks! And I found May your best friend has said the same exact thing across different God story lines. That is not cool! I get bored with Fate’s Kisses because of the same thing happening to your character.

I can’t say anything on Astoria Lost Kisses yet.

Love & Legends: I really like this series and this series for me takes the prize! I haven’t found a short chapter yet. When I spend money on this app it would be for this series. This is worth the money. All the stories are different and even the villain even though the same she comes out in different ways. Each love interest is very different from the others. There isn’t one love interest that I like more than the others (yes including the women). All of them are good! All the story lines brings a different aspect to the same story. But it isn’t the same at the same time. lol! What I mean is your character has different facets. Your character isn’t boring either and things she says is funny because of the time period. 

Castaway! Love’s Adventure: I wasn’t too sure about this story. I started out with the Captain and it seemed to take forever to get to the love part.  Of course the one story I totally loved was Joaquin and there is only a few seasons. Make more of Joaquin! Can we say erotica! Yes! More so than any of the other stories I have read. Anyway Castaway! Love’s Adventure is my second favorite. 

Starship Promise: there has to be one of them I really dislike and this is it. This is the story I first encountered with the app and I hate this story! Can we say BORING! Yes I can. I have tried to read this story but I just can’t. It’s not interesting to me and that is sad because I like Sci-Fi stories.

Villainous Nights: this story is average. It’s not super exciting but you get to be a villain taking down villains. LOL! I started with Duke and Renzei. Now Renzei  took me by surprise. So that makes for a good story. There isn’t anything bad I can say about this story so far. It’s not super thrilling but it’s not horrible either. Chapters are pretty good length as well so that is a plus. 

Artwork: I have to say I love the artwork in this app! I wish they would put who create it so they got recognition for it. A plus for the artwork that you can get without paying for hearts, since it’s all based on YOUR choices. I like that.

Artwork suggestion: With each story their is artwork you can unlock. Now it would be cool if I got some kind of reward for completing all the artwork for a love interests. Because right now if I miss one, I don’t really care. I am one who doesn’t cheat to pick what choices to unlock the artwork, I just go with my instinct to pick or sometimes I like my character to be sassy. lol! However some of the love interests I didn’t unlock all the artwork and I am not going to go back to unlock it either. IF there was some kind of reward for unlocking all the artwork, then it would be worth it to try and get the artwork. Maybe for short stories that only have a couple seasons only get like five hearts. Those who have a lot of artwork to unlock maybe ten hearts. Just something to look forward to not just the artwork which I stated is awesome!

Timer: I would like to point out how screwy the timer is in this app. It has sped up since my last entry on the app but it still has something strange about it. You get a ticket every 2hrs 30 mins. However here is why I think that, for example I see I have one ticket so I put it in a story. Almost eight hours later I still will only have one ticket. How does that work? Sometimes I will have two tickets which is the limit unless you pay. So if you get a ticket every 2hrs 30 mins how come a lot of the time I will only have one ticket and hours will pass by? So I am not sure why that is still a thing and why it changes. Also I would like to add when I pay money the timer works great after some time then it goes back to being I guess slow. So you know paying money makes the app work better which I find that to be wrong. I know they want to make money but still that is kinda shady at the same time.

HINT: Here is a hint I found out. If you can wait of course. Want to read multiple stories without paying for tickets? If you can wait 48 hours you can read multiple stories without paying. Keep in mind you have to be reading a lot stories all at once. If you can do this then you can read all your favorite stories right after another. Check frequently in the app to see if you have a ticket or two. Put them in your favorite stories, do not read them. In 48 hours you will have many chapters waiting for you to read. It can be tedious but it lets me read stories for almost all day. Also watch or let the ads play before exiting out of the chapter. It can be screwy with the app if you  are reading on an older device.

Get more hearts! Like I said I NEVER pay money for hearts. Everyday you can earn hearts or puzzle pieces. I was skeptical that I would never complete a puzzle however I have completed two puzzle pictures and got the hearts for them. So it IS possible to earn hearts from that. The best way to earn hearts is to be on the lookout for when they have heart tiers weekend. It’s usually two days of reading. What works well is if you been putting in your tickets to all the stories and wait till the weekend. You can complete a lot of tiers for hearts. You never know when that will be so really good strategy just do that every week instead of waiting 48 hours. I admit it’s hard because I always want to see what will happen next. However that is the time to pay money for tickets to earn hearts. I usually use all my week build up then pay to get all the hearts I can get. This way I can pay for extra stories that are only unlocked by hearts.

Currently I am reading 22 stories. But that is just me I love to multi-task.
