1. 4/5Great but intrusive ads + other things ‼️

   Love this app! It’s cozy and the UI is responsive. However, my main gripe is the organization of favorited fics. For example, may I suggest an “in progress” section for fics you are still reading? I tend to save multiple fics before reading them one by one, and I have to sift through all the other ones. As well as this, I wish the add placement wasn’t as intrusive to be WHILE you’re reading the fic. I understand it’s to compel people to pay, but the subscription is too pricey for most. Please reconsider the ad placement.

2. 3/5Needs work

   The search function is broken. Very, very broken. For example, even if you have the exact title of a fic you’re searching for, nine times out of ten the search won’t pull it up. In fact, it won’t pull up anything at all. The search for tags doesn’t work either. It brings up a dropdown box that only includes a few tags, whether or not those tags actually apply to the category you’re looking for is a crapshoot. That includes relationships, characters, and so on. The fields are also mislabeled or pointing to the wrong box, like when you’re searching for an “additional” tag, it brings up character names and relationships. Add to that that some fics don’t get added to your “recently read” list and others get stuck on “coming” instead of “read now” or “continue reading” (even if they were both saved to your library *and* downloaded on top of that, or being perfectly accessible even moments before) among other issues, I really hope the devs get some quality QA testers to smooth things out soon. Oh, right. Battery drain. This app drains my phone battery faster than anything I’ve ever installed. I can start a 5000-word chapter with my battery at 100% and by the time I finish reading that chapter my battery will be at 95-96%. And I don’t read slow; a 5000-word chapter takes me on average about 8 minutes to read, if I read it slowly.

3. 3/5It does the job

   It gets the job done and you can typically find the pieces you want to read and you can save them which is nice. It’s not coded very well for things like bigger text for those of us who need it. It works but when I was originally trying to sign up I couldn’t scroll down to accept the terms and conditions or whatever it was I needed to select. I had to adjust my phone settings to smaller to be able to scroll down all the way. Upside; Since it is not an official app you cannot subscribe to the author BUT it will notify you if one of the ones you’re reading gets a new chapter! It doesn’t tell you which one which was a downside but it was nice to get the notification anyway.

4. 5/5Amazing app!!

   This app is amazing! The stories people write here are better than most books! However, the reason I gave it a 4 is because I can’t comment even though there IS a comment section somewhere. I can’t find it though. The other reason I gave it a 4 is because I also want to write my own story book that feature seem to doesn’t exist for some reason. Like, how does the authors write their stories? I would I ask them in the comments but I can’t find the comment section. But this is the best book app I have ever found!

5. 5/5Features?

   I love this app since a lot of people post on it and there are not that many ads (so far). However, I cannot find the comments section. I’ll see how many comments there are but cannot figure out how to get to them. And if I add something to my library but then accidentally delete the app, it will say there is nothing in my library when I redownload it. Perhaps i’m just trash at using it but if you could fix those two things, that would be great
