If you love listening, not just watching, true crime, this is for you!
I love this app. I got the subscription so I can listen to everything. I’ve only had the app for a few days and have listened to over 20 stories. I’m hooked! They have some videos but I’ve gotten a lot of just the audio versions and that works for me so I can listen to it while I’m doing things. Seriously 10/10, definitely recommend for my fellow true crime watchers!

Utterly disappointing
Saw it on Instagram looked promising so I decided to download the app. Not saying this is their problem, but I went through many of issues with my Apple account while trying to download this app I was very determined. Only to create an account sign in and everything, none of my stories would play. It kept telling me that I had to purchase a package or start a free day trial I am very perturbed with the way the developer has brushed off everybody else else’s negative reviews because this is the same problem….A LOT…of people have when downloading this app. I will be deleting the app and suggest nobody else puts it on their phone. Can’t believe I went through all that trouble for nothing.

Honor Killing
This story excellently describes and captures the essence of the unimaginable suffering and horror of what “Honor Killings” are and what happens to a family when they occur. These murders are shockingly happening all of the time, all over the world in communities just like the one in this story. As heartbreaking as it is to watch, it does bring much desperately needed attention to the matter as a whole and the facts that bring about the tragic outcome.
