Voice Options
I'm glad that they finally added more voices to the desktop version of this app because I enjoy Samantha (iphone) on the phone. However, although Samantha is the default now on the desktop app, there isn't a way to change the voice options. I belive the button is broken since there is still a section in the settings to is supposed to create a drop down menu. This isn't a problem for me, but it could be if I wanted to read something in a different language.

Its a great app but needs to add something
The app is great for when I’m traveling or at work I can listen to my books while doing my job instead of having to use the web version at a computer. But there’s a function I would like them to add. I need a button for telling me which ones I already read and which ones I never read yet. I have over 8,000 stories downloaded for off line and when I get bored I try to find a story I haven’t read yet. Also my notifications are stalling the app now after updating my phone.

Scrolling bug
I have been using this app for over 6-7 years, and it is great on mobile. But recently, the scrolling is bugged out on my macbook. Whenever I used the trackpad or my mouse to scroll on stories, recent, or anything on the Read icon, the page would move all the way to the right where the words or the book/tv shows/movies/etc. titles or names would be cut off.

Good
The app is good but when using the audio feature there is a very long pause between paragraphs. To the point I think it stopped working and have to check. Also when using the audio features it will stop and you have to start over from the beginning and scroll forever to find where you left off. It’s tedious.

Works well, until it starts "quitting unexpectedly"
I have had this app working awesomely ever since 2022, however in the past few months, I have had problems opening it. It says the program "quits unexpectedly". I have tried to redownload it and yet, still the same problem. Putting this out here for the devellopers to know about this issue.

Barely able to do anything
So, as the title suggests, over the last few days I can barely do anything on the app. For some reason, when I try to do anything like go to documents to update story chapters I’m writing, search stories, read stories, etc, it continuously says “Request Failed.” No matter how many times I hit “Retry” it fails within a few seconds. It’s not my internet because if it was I wouldn’t be able to play the mobile games I have downloaded or even write this review. My phone is up to date and cutting off my internet for a few seconds and then switching it back on doesn’t work either. The “Request Failed” is also totally random because I can hop on for like, an hour, and be totally fine, then, in the next instance, I’m fighting the app just to do anything for hours! I’m tired, repeat tired, of having to rewrite the EXACT SAME LINES over and over. Please look into this and update the app, which according to the App Store was updated 2 months ago, if necessary. Thank you.

Good but could use changes
Pretty good app altogether. Has a lot to offer and is easy to use. The only change I would make would be to give more options when filtering, more so when excluding things. Something like excluding specific titles for crossovers or their characters rather than just characters from the origin title.

Room for improvement
I’d say it is almost perfect the main issue in my eyes is that there isn’t much in the way of filters for downloaded stories and think that if it had filters like the search menu does it would be vastly better Edit: it keeps crashing when I try to open it even when I uninstall & reinstall it

Why drop Intel support?
Not happy about support dropout on Intel Macs. App still flagged as compatible on App Store, and cannot open after update. Was lucky to have backup of last known working Intel-compatible version of app. At least have to decency to flag it as incompatible in the Store if you are dropping support; was rather frustrating to redownload entire collection which took hours.

It keeps crashing on my iPhone 6, why? I try to sign in and then it exits from the app. This has happened every time you have updated the app. Please get some competent developers on your team and fix this issue and make sure this never happens every time you update the app. Please.

Love the app however....
I enjoy this app very much as both writer and reader; I enjoy it most as a writer because when I am on the go and have an idea for a chapter I almost always have my phone on me and can easily jot down my idea, where on the other hand I can say I’ve never been in front of a computer long enough to go as in-depth as I want to go, I just don’t have that luxury. However, there are a few problems, and they aren’t big, but just enough to annoy me and I have to talk about it. One, is the fact that, unless I leave the app open, say I’m almost done with a chapter but I get distracted and have to put my phone down, if I do that then it goes to the very top of the page and I have to continuously scroll to find my spot again. This doesn’t annoy me if the chapter is 2k or less but for those writers who write 5k+ chapters (which props to you guys! I love long chapters and have no idea how to do it myself) it gets very tiresome. The other “problem” and this might just be me, but I like that this app let’s you listen to the chapter, it’s actually one of my dislikes about any other fan fic apps out there. The only problem is, is the voice. I’ve grown to come accustomed to it and I know I’m asking a lot, but I can only handle so much robot. My only request is to make the voice sound a little more human.

Great App Overall, but…
I very much enjoy this app, due to the HUGE library of titles, across a variety of genres. I love that there’s a setting so the app can also be used like an audiobook; I use this feature frequently! I especially like that I can download stories to read later, offline. It’s also cool to be able to converse with authors & other users. The two complaints I do have (and why I’m only giving this app 4 stars): 1) I don’t know if there’s a way to purge downloaded stories or not, but if there is, I can’t figure out how to do it! If there’s not, I would suggest to developers that they create such a feature, as I don’t care for the clutter created in my downloaded box by stories I’ve already read. 2) When in audiobook mode, if I have to break in the middle of a chapter, the app always starts back at the beginning of the chapter, rather than picking up where I left off. It is very annoying to have to manually scroll down and find where I left off, as the voice continues reading from the start, until I can find the correct paragraph and select it to get it to jump back to reading where it left off before. I would suggest developers correct this issue as well.

Overall a Good App
This app is overall a very good app, but there is a few changes. In the filter, I would like to get more specific. For example, add characters to the filter, so if I wanted to read a story with Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, then I could just use the filter. Also, you could get even more specific and filter it only to when they are couples, if I wanted to see one. I would also like it if you had a choice to put a book in your library or not, because sometimes I will read a chapter of a book and decide I don’t like it, but it’s stuck in my library. For an alternative, you could also give the option to go to your library and remove books. Also, for some reason it always automatically filters it to K-T? While I understand that it’s better for kids, you could make your readers click their age, and it would be fixed, just like that. If they are below 18, then automatically filter it K-T, but if not, don’t do it because it gets really annoying having to turn off the filter every time I search something up. After these minor tweaks, this app would definitely be a 5 star, as I have no other problems with it. Please take my ideas into consideration.

Love this app but one thing is driving me crazy
And it’s this: It used to be the case that when I was reading, I could navigate away from the app and then open it back up and my place would be saved, not just the chapter but it would stay scrolled to exactly where I had left it, even if that was halfway down. Sometime fairly recently, I guess in an update, that changed. If I am reading and I’m halfway through a chapter, then I take a break and do other things on my phone, when I go back to this app, it opens to the main screen with an option to go back to what I was last reading, and when I click that, I’m at the top of the page, meaning I have to scroll and scroll to find my place. Sometimes this will happen if I navigate away from the app for even a couple of minutes, like if I pause reading to respond to a text and then want to go right back to what I was reading. It’s driving me crazy largely because it didn’t used to happen. If this isn’t fixed I’ll honestly probably go back to reading on my browser because it messes up my reading experience too much, despite how much I otherwise love the app.

Very good, but a bit troublesome
As a reader, this app is very good. The layout and settings are simplified, and able to be adjusted accordingly to the reader. Though, when using phrase/term search, it becomes a little troublesome as some stories, which I know exist on the website, don't always pop up on the app. Not exactly a big problem, but still a problem. Now, as an author... well, it's a bit of a 50/50. As stated earlier, everything is very simple, but while writing I've had my fair share of annoyances. For one, there is no line break present, and two, whenever I want to edit a part that is smack-dab in the middle of a long chapter, or even in the very beginning, the cursor is brought all the way to the bottom. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem, but on devices such as an iPad or iPhone, the space in which you can see the text you've written is much smaller, making it a lot more tedious to scroll back up to the point you wanted to edit. All in all, a very good app indeed, if only with a few kinks. I'm sure these will be resolved in due time, but even then I will continue to use this app.

Say goodbye to fanfic offline if cannot use this app
The problem with this app if anytime update and no longer open the app. You have no choice to delete the app and download again to get function. This is a second time and I no longer trust this app for people who download for offline mode. The biggest problem is download for offline fanfiction. If author decide to delete your favorite story that already download. Your favorite story will be still there until this app start update to latest version that may crash when open the app. Which to reinstall app, you delete all data, even your favorite story that will permanent gone too. Sad, sad. Better use other third party or on computer to download a favorite story to ensue that will never get delete. If you cannot get a app open or crash on open. Say goodbye to favorite story that you download that author may delete already. I will give 2 out of 5 because of update app result crash on startup. Also lack of maintenance on the website with lot of ads, broken feature, lack of change of announcement, etc. I fear this app will be broken in future.

For a Reader: Very nice; for a Writer: Not useful
I enjoy the reading aspect of the app very much and prefer it to the mobile or desktop website experience. Nice features for fonts, font sizing, background colors that are easy on the eyes, scrolling, and screen timeout. I also enjoy that it can keep track of where I left off in all of the stories I'm reading. From a writing perspective it needs a lot of work. I was disappointed when I went to edit and found that it had lost all of my return breaks. That problem alone cost me time and effort going back to my laptop and re-editing the entire chapter. Not cool! This issue makes this part of the app not useful, which is frustrating. Also, I find it annoying that I have an icon to my PM box, but nothing is there - and I do have messages in my inbox on the website. Don't have options that are not functional across the entire platform. Again, not useful. When I receive an alert that I have a PM but can't get to it from my app that's annoying.

Fanfiction Writers Best Friend
Love the new audio feature which was my only qualm with the app not having! Thank you, thank you, thank you for listening! Might I suggest with a later update to add in a tap feature to choose there the audio begins reading? At this point it’s great to listen to while doing things, but things happen, life interrupts and you don’t always have the chance to pause it. Meaning you either miss whole big chunks or you have the restart the chapter all over again, which is annoying task with the longer chapters. Or sometimes you want to just skip to listen to a favorite part of the story. Also adding in a feature to will allow the audio to continue reading into another chapter, not just stop at the end(something that is great for the 100 word story told in snippet. I know the other app I use has an add play every three or so chapter which while distracting is tolerable to having to keep stopping and changing chapters.

Why so complicated?
The old site may have had its flaws, but it was so beautifully simple. They actually used words instead of weird symbols that made no sense. If you wanted to look up the history of all the reviews you left… There it was under “review history.” If you were looking for an answer or help… It actually gave you answers or help. Here, anytime you want help it shoots you right back to your own page. Thanks. There’s so much I can’t do on this app that I was able to do on the old page. Why don’t you have some sort of index? And worst of all… how did you manage to to put this all together in the most most illogically, overly complex, clunky way possible? Yes there are positive points which I do enjoy - I can easily find a story that I started to read. There the ability to “download” a story. Technically, it’s really just a bookmark. (only for online reading) And I really do appreciate the lack of advertising that breaks up the page in the old site. But to be honest, navigating this thing is one of the greatest headaches on the Internet.

Mostly Good
I have been using the app for years, and I have always loved how user friendly it is. But in one of the latest updates some things have happened. The first of which is private messaging. The private messaging feature has never worked for me 100% of the time, but now it doesn’t work at all. The other problem is the crossovers when browsing for a new story. If I wanted to read a crossover, then I would have clicked on the crossover tab. However, all the stories are mixed together now and it’s really annoying. Either put it back the way it was before, or provide me a way to exclude crossovers in the filters. The last thing is how it claims you can publish your story on the go. In theory you can, but you definitely have more control over the formatting in the browser version. Also, there is no way to access traffic stats in the app. Overall, more convenient for reading (excluding the crossover thing) than publishing and interacting with readers.

Page Scrolling
I’ve always liked this app for the most part. My one big complaint is how I scroll through a page of stories and it eventually takes me back to the top. It used to only do this every few days, but now it does it after almost every story. It takes me back to the top and I have to keep scrolling forever to get back to the next story I want to read. It was bad enough when it did it occasionally, but it’s very annoying to do the scroll of death after each story I read! I wish the app let you click from page to page of a select number of stories instead of a continuous scroll. Give us page numbers to click through and allow us to pic the number of it takes us back to the beginning. At the very least, do not allow continuous scroll to take it back to the top. I read fandoms that have thousands of stories, so it’s basically impossible to read older stories for fandoms I’ve just discovered. Another solution would be to look up stories from a certain time period.

Not impressed
From what I’ve seen so far of this app it’s garbage. Even though I’ve been a member for at least 8yrs I decided to download the app the other day. The first time I tried to log on it notified me that my password has been compromised due to a data breach. This is the first I’ve ever heard of a data breach. Maybe the data breach happened because I downloaded the app? And then asked me if I would like to change my password. This is an excellent idea except when I tap the link to change the password it takes me to fanfic’s front page and I’m having trouble trying to find the area to actually change my password. Settings on the app is useless. It looks like I’m going to have to delete the app to actually go in to the website to change my password. The other issue I take offense with is the app has apparently issued me a default avatar which I do not care for. I have spent the last 15 minutes going in circles trying to figure out how to change it to another image. I cannot find where to do that and I so far cannot find any help area to give me instructions to change it.

Enjoyable, but There are Some Issues
This app is my preferred way of reading stories from the site, but as other people have complained, when you look up stories you KNOW exist, it doesn’t always find them. I’ve had to find the fanfic, follow the story (even if I only check it intermittently) and find it from there. Notifications don’t always work either and I have to rely on email updates instead of push notifications. Now for the real teeth grinder. If you accidentally put two fingers on the screen (this include swiping a notification or just tapping it), the app ASSUMES that I’m trying to change the size of the text. Note that this typically happens when I’m scrolling through the text and causes me great frustration when I have to spend time getting it back to the exact font I want it to be in. Once these issues are fixed, I’ll come back to the app. Until then, I’ll keep using the website. At least THAT has very few bugs on it...

Nice, buggy, needs interface work
UPDATE: truly incredible. You’ve broken it again. Story flips to the last Page and the font size changes and clips the ends of lines when you shift from the program. So much for conveniently staying where I put it. I truly enjoy this app and the FanFiction it gives me access to, BUT it could use a bit of work and flexibility People have touched on the bugs, so I’ll give my wish list instead. Configuability: I would like the ability to force the upper/lower status bands to remain constant. I get lost in a good story and currently have no convenient way to monitor the time and the state of my battery without performing the status band mambo of tapping just right and then the top (important because it has the info I need) band disappears the moment I scroll without so much as a by your leave. Screen functionality. I would love to be able to turn off the screen navigation in whole or in part. Nothing more frustrating than to be in the middle of a chapter only to slip and have the app decide you meant to flip to the top or bottom of the chapter. Sorting. Sometimes I want my list sorted in most recently updated order, sometimes in most recently read and sometimes alphabetically by either author or title. Other nice to have: history of the last n stories I’ve opened, not just current or last read as I have now.

I have a few suggestions...
Firstly I’d like to start off by saying that I love the app as it is...as an avid FanFiction reader it’s everything I could have hoped for in an app, but I do have a few suggestions. Firstly I think that a tab system could be implemented for stories that are being read. I personally like to move back and forth between different fics I’m reading depending on my mood and whatnot, so If there were a way to switch between stories via some sort of tab or something similar it would really help. And the only other thing I can think of is having a way to lock the screen so that I don't accidentally bring up the font settings while I’m reading, it’s something that’s happened to me repeatedly and fixing that somehow would be a huge help. Otherwise it’s a perfect app and it’s one that I use everyday. 😁

Good idea that needs improvement
This app is pretty good for readers, but for authors it isn't helpful at all. I can't find a way to submit chapters or stories from the app, and typing in the documents section is pointless. The document typing doesn't allow for italics (vital for such things as distinguishing thought from dialogue) or for scene break lines. Even worse, text pieces copied from other sources (like Google Docs) and pasted in FanFiction documents do not retain those things just mentioned. It's more efficient to cut out the app altogether and use the site, and that shouldn't be more efficient. For those who like both to read in sessions and write, it is very inconvenient to switch between the site and the app. Additionally, private messaging does not syncs between the app and site. In conclusion, I think this app was a good idea but was released too soon. Please address all of these issues. EDIT: OK, you earned one more star with the last update. Including bold, italic, and underlining for docs was a good call, and so was the addition of story management. But I'm still not quite satisfied with the doc manager for its lack of those scene break lines. I also wish that, if app messaging can't be synced to the site, it could at least send notifications of incoming messages either by phone banner notification or by email. I acknowledge that improvements are being made, though. Solid.

Doesn’t load quickly
I really like the app overall, but I would like to see the app make some changes like these: 1) Please, reinstate the progress tab, button along the chapter page. I like knowing where I am in a chapter. Then I can determine if I have time to read a short or long chapter. I see it return and disappear with every update. Currently, it is not there. 2) Allow for font changes to the search pages not just on the chapter pages. I am legally blind and use large fonts and cannot read the details prior to opening the book page. It has lots of other nice features like a dark theme. Just overall control of all font sizes. 3) Since I take a long time reading chapters, when I advanced to the next chapter, no matter if it is downloaded or not, I have to close out the app and return before it can advance again. Rather frustrating and can lose where I am. I have since made good use of the bookmarks because I suddenly cannot return to the page again because of loading issues. 4) Searching would be more efficient if there were more story options to chose from. It seems a bit limited. There are my recommendations. Thank you for having the app available. I do enjoy reading these types of stories. Kiddos to al the authors out there! My hat tips to your creativity and ingenuity and frankly bravery for putting you art out there!

Great App, Just a Few Inconveniences
Extremely thankful for the app version, I have yet to see any bugs or major differences from the website. There are, of course, a few things that have been annoying. The sorting of the characters in the filter is extremely difficult to deal with when they're in the order of how many fics they've been featured in. I'm sure most people would prefer if they were put in alphabetical order like how it's done on the site. The same thing with fandom selection when you're looking for crossovers, having them in order of amount of stories that have been written about them makes it extremely difficult to find anything. Being able to delete/edit your own reviews would be another nice addition to the app. It would save a lot of people the trouble of having to move between the app and the site when wanting to fix some poorly worded feedback. Another thing, this being probably what annoys us readers the most, the screen moving in and out of reading view with only one tap really interrupts the reading experience and is incredibly annoying, most of the times we tap the screen are accidental. Fixing that would be absolutely incredible, especially if you guys could change it into two taps instead. Other than what's written above, the app is pretty incredible. Thank you.

Newest update resolved issue
Up till recently over the past couple weeks I have been unable to access this app. It would crash instantly upon opening, however after deleting and reinstalling the app the issue was resolved. Note I did have to delete and reinstall, simply downloading the new update didn’t resolve the issue. I mostly use this app simply to check recently released chapters. This app has several features that make it useful to have in conjunction with the website. For example it is easier to pull up favorited and followed stories on the app. Plus this app has the ability to allow you to search by filters not listed online. Though my favorite quality of the app is that you can search both crossovers and normal stories at once whereas on the site you can only search crossovers OR non crossovers.

Love the app but…
So I’ve had this app since last year in August and I’ve loved it soo much ever since. I mostly read Total Drama related books on their because I just loved the show (at least most of it) shout out to everyone that writes total drama related books on there btw I adore you. But anyways the recent update kinda messed up the app. When I accidentally swiped my screen to a different chapter and when I swiped back to the chapter I was reading, it somehow got to the bottom of chapter I was reading and that didn’t used to happen when I first started reading on the app. Also sometimes when I search a stories that I find on the web the story never shows up so I have to search the author’s name of the story. Other than that I think the app is amazing! If you’re looking for apps to read on I recommend this one.

Fantastic app, one suggestion though
I love the app’s simplicity and streamlined process (and ad-less-ness) but the one thing that would be nice is an extra filter in story searching, namely the fact that there are so many filters to search for only stories fitting that category but not many to exclude, like for instance the crossover filter, there are times when it would be very nice to be able to exclude certain fandoms (there are 800,000 Harry Potter fanfictions and 400,000 Naruto, that means that most crossovers if you don’t search for a specific other fandom gets over saturated with Harry Potter and Naruto.) The ability to search for certain criteria is amazing, I just wish the ability to filter out certain criteria was better developed. That being said, it’s still an amazing app.

It has good features but
I use the app almost exclusivly because of the accesibility features, both on my macbook and iphone. It is easy to switch from one device to the other as long as you're signed in. It however does not play nice with the built in accesability features and the most recent iOS update for both iphone and mac basically broke the screen reader function while this problem has been somewhat addressed for iphone the same cannot be said for macbook. On my iphone the screen reader will randomly switch voices (to one of the most obnoxious and mechanical voice options), read a paragraph then crash. Screenreader is still not working on my macbook, So far I have occasionally gotten Tessa (South Africa) and Veena (India) they're not the best voice choices and are very mechanical sounding.

The app is awesome, but there’s a few things that I don’t like.
The app the amazing. It allows people to write their own fan fiction and tells readers when their tagged or written stories is updated or reviewed. The app also allows us to view other reader’s tagged stories. The best feature of all is that the stories are ordered by genre, type, ratings, tags, alphabet, etc. The app also give certain requirements to make sure writers don’t just write a few lines or so. However, there is one thing about the app I don’t like and it bothers me very much. When people tend to post links to certain things, I have to hand type and look at the page at the same time. It’s very frustrating when you have app and you can’t cut copy and past things from the chapters. I really wish that FanFiction can allow us to copy and past things .

New update and old bugs
Hey, my name is Stephanie and I’ve been using this app for around a year and a half and I’m usually a very patient person. However I feel the new updates that this app has been going through reverses the experience of “updating” the app. Firstly, they added a voice reader feature that eliminates listening to music at the same time as reading, and that is insanely annoying. Secondly, chapters black out frequently so in the circumstance that I’m reading through a multi chapter book, I’d swipe for the next chapter and I’d just be black. Thirdly, the app DOENST save where I left off for multi-chaptered novels, somehow always reverting back to chapter one that it’s getting really annoying. At this point I’m thinking about using another app because not being able to listen to music while reading is the biggest deal breaker. Thanks for everything, but I liked the monkey type writer loading screens a lot better than the flipping book pages.

Edit: Back to the way it used to be
Edit: Fixes have been released and the app is now working as it used to. I actually got super happy because I had a backlog of story releases to catch up on. Thank you for this app. Old: So I'm having issues with this app. I have used this app ever since I got an iPhone and I loved everything about it. I had a nice collection of fanfics I downloaded but ever since maybe two updates ago, all the stories I had downloaded got deleted and only 11 stayed downloaded. Plus, the app has become literally unusable. You can't load stories, you can't view stories, you cant do anything with the current state of the app. It will either stay loading infinitely or just gives you a black screen. Please fix the app and I'll change my review.

Pretty good. Just one problem.
Hello. I recently joined FF about maybe two weeks ago, and the stories are absolutely amazing. (At least for the fandom I read.) Anyway, I decided that I would start to write my own fan fiction. It’s pretty good so far, even though I’m only on chapter one. I was about to post my first chapter, until I looked at the preview... The preview looked nothing like what I had just written. There were no paragraph breaks, it was all clustered together, and I don’t write like that. It would be great if you could fix this problem, because I’m really looking forward to making tons of stories on here, but for me, it’s nearly impossible to do that without paragraph breaks. Btw, I don’t know if it’s the fact that I use an iPhone? I hope not, since I can’t really write on the computer... Other than that, I really enjoy this app. Please fix!

Love it!!!
This app is great! I love reading the fanfics and I especially love writing them and getting feedback. The only thing I would say is the mobile version doesn’t have the option to see your story’s stats. By this I mean that you can’t see how many people have read your story, who liked/loved it, etc. It’s not a major thing, but I still like to see that stuff. Otherwise, the app is awesome! It’s a great way to practice writing and have some constructive feedback given about your work. It’s also really fun to read the fanfics that other people have published. Some of the ideas are super creative and they’re very entertaining. I totally recommend this app for any bookworms and/or aspiring authors.

Love It! Just One little Issue...
I love this app and it’s worked fine for me, however, there is one thing I wish they would change. The story sorting. I used to write on my computer, and on the PC version the stories are sorted alphabetically. On the app they’re sorted by whenever you work on them, hence stories you haven’t touched are at the bottom working up to the ones recently changed. This may not be a big deal to everyone, but for someone like me who has many stories and work on several different ones at once, it gets very cluttered. I know there’s an option where you can choose to sort them alphabetically but it’s temporary. I’d like to see it changed to where you choose to switch between both modes and have it stay that way.

Alright for what it is
When reading a fic, it is a decent reader. The screen is still quite annoying because it mis-reads small scrolling gestures as a trap and changes display mode (which also pushes there text around). It really needs a screen lock option or an option to change the tap gesture to tap with two fingers to get rid of the nav bar. Also, a surprising power/memory hog when scrolling down long lists when browsing and downloading fics. After a few screen extensions my screen was burning up and went thru ~20% battery in about 10-15 min. I'm guessing it keeps every story that was already loaded in cache; after I turned off the prettier and re-loaded, the app crashed and I was at the beginning of the search again. When not doing the above, it is awesome to be able to download a story to read offline (though you continually get banners at the bottom asking you to re-connect). Better yet, it barely uses battery to display the story. All in all, flawed, but still decent. There website is still superior in several aspects, however. Bug note: since the fic recommendations are written in a different text color, they show up poorly when using the darkest background color (dark grey against black).

Great, but a little problem.(ignore problem part, just phone being weird)
One of my favorite features is the download story option, its great for when you’re on a road trip or a plane ride, or just going anywhere without internet access. a few things that aren’t too irritating but still irk me are that the library button goes straight to history, and if you’re someone like me whose number of fanfics read are up in the thousands, it makes a bit of a stall before getting to the library, so maybe having the downloaded fics page load first would be better. But the one thing I am angry about, is that I CANNOT READ WITH MY PHONE SIDEWAYS ANYMORE! I am literally considering going back to the mobile websites tiny text and need for internet access. while its a little thing, I would at least like to have an option, like go into read setting and turn on orientation lock instead of no sideways mode at all. very personal problem, but it is somewhat important to me, the phone being sideways gives it more stability than I can give with one hand and lets me have a more solid grip on my phone(call me paranoid when you’re getting a screen replacement) and my case’s built in stand works best sideways.

Edit: Thank you
Edit: Thank you for fixing the logout issue. I can now enjoy the app fully once more. I used to enjoy reading on this app and have probably used it for over 200 hours in the last year alone. However, the app recently has had a weird development where, if the app is closed or crashes, the app automatically logs you out of your account. Each time this happens, the settings on the app are reset to the default ones, even if you log back in to the same account. There is no way to get the app to remember your login, so this problem cannot be circumvented when the app still crashes in the background on occasion. I will willingly edit this review when this issue is resolved. (This is an issue that only begun in the last two weeks for me.)

Difficulties reading stories not in library.
So within the last week I can no longer open search stories and find stories by books, movies, tv shows, cartoons, plays, games, etc. I can swipe left and search “recently searched and then narrow the filters down, but it doesn’t allow for “New searches” to be found. I mean I can read any story that I’ve previously read or downloaded, but the unread/unsearched topics are not able to be found. For example, if I have searched for “Harry Potter” stories previously, I can go over to Harry Potter in recently searched and find plenty of stories, but if I never looked for say “twilight”, I wouldn’t be able to even search for any stories under that book/movie as I’ve never read any previously and therefore it’s not even a choice.

My Favorite App
Honestly, I want to give this app only 4 stars, simply because of the fact that I can’t make the reading font smaller than the minimum 75% and that bugs me, but this app certainly deserves the 5 stars. Yes, I know that that issue is a very minor thing, but before I used this app for all of my Fanfiction needs I used the FF app made by PentaLoop, and I loved how the text size had virtually no maximum or minimum size, meaning I could fit so much more on my screen and it took a while longer before I had to scroll down in order to read more. Not that big of a deal, honestly, but I would absolutely love it if the minimum reading font was either removed or simply greatly lowered, and I don’t know where else to write this out to you.

Good app .. faulty updates lately
I love this app. I usually listen to whatever story I’m reading but lately that’s been difficult as it stops reading out to me sometimes after one paragraph and I have to go and select the next paragraph to get it started again. Also if the story doesn’t load the updated chapter it kicks me out of the app and logs me off so I have to log back in. Along with the stories that I have saved being updated but really they aren’t and haven’t been updated it just reloads it like it has and I have to go into the story to clear it and some updated ones don’t even show up with the others on occasion. Ever since these apparent last two-three updates there’s just been more issues popping up.. usually I don’t have any issues with this app I love being able to access these stories from anywhere and have no issue reading them .please fix this

Awesome app
I love this app it is amazing. I have had it for about half a year and I read tons of fanfics and I also get to write which is not something I ever thought about doing until I got this app and now I have published a few. One specific thing for the creators in some of the list when you choose characters you want to read about, sometimes their are popular characters who aren’t included. I know you can’t include everyone and it takes a while to get all the different people but I would appreciate it if you added some of the popular ones. (I specifically would love if you added Estelle Blofis in the Percy Jackson section) thanks for this awesome app

Great app text to speech is a godsend
This FanFiction app has come along way from when it first came out. I find the “folders” function to be a very helpful tool lets let’s me sort my fanfics it would be better if I was allowed to add subfolders into the folders themselves. Another great plus is the text to audio gotta be my favorite function I listen to fanfics while I’m at work and it’s great to just here the stories since I don’t have time to sit down and read them myself. I find that Karen English (Australia) is the best choice for audio. I Another feature I like the how the audio will continue reading to the next chapter and I don’t how to manually flip it.
