1. 5/5Amazing. Just, amazing.

   I’ve had this app for over two years now, and I haven’t thought to write a review until now. It has so many amazing books, some have been published as actual books, some just written for fun. You can completely enjoy it with some short adds or you can pay for premium and get no adds and a few different features. I’ve had it for so long, and sadly can’t do premium, even though it is pretty inexpensive; but it’s still an amazing experience. There are also some stories that you have to use coins for, and you can buy coins or get three a day by watching videos, and each chapter is three coins. There are so many more books that are completely free though, so paying isn’t required at all. I also love having the comments on each paragraph of the story and being able to share my thoughts and read others opinions on the books. The one and only complaint that I have is that there isn’t a feature to like a comment on a book. I’ve seen a few people who have the same problem, we don’t want to comment on something, we just want to let them know that their comment made us laugh. It’s a very small complaint though, and it doesn’t affect the experience on Wattpad. All in all, this app is great for exploring books, and writing as well. It’s very easy write and publish chapters and books on the app. It’s perfect for writers who just want to have some fun or who want to explore an interest in writing. Would 100% recommend this to all book lovers and writers.

2. 5/5Love this app, but...

   This is an awesome app to read stories and fanfics, but the one thing at the moment that I don’t like is the new limit to read offline without premium. I liked how before you could read any story offline, but you couldn’t update the new chapter, but it’s better then having a limite on stories to read and sometimes get to read the story if they did update a new chapter without internet. I would like it if wattpad were to take away the limitation on offline stories, for its better that way and I can read more when I’m on a business trip or on an airplane I can read lots of stories without limitations. I have had this app for maybe 2 years and I never had a complaint, but with the limited offline stories it had caused me some troubles, also once I was in a business trip and I went to read and there was no internet connection or anything. But I had my offline books and one of them updated, though the thing was I couldn’t read it and it told me I have to have an internet connection to upload the new chapter, which irritated me cause this was supposed to be an offline story that I can read without anything and after that I couldn’t read until 2 hours later once I got internet. In a couple of day I will be traveling and some parts of the place that I’m going does not have internet connection, but I want to still be able to read, but I can’t afford premium so I’m just asking please get rid of the limited offline books they’re troublesome.

3. 5/5Please Fix This

   I have been part of the wattpad family for 5 years, close to 6. It never glitches for me for those 5 years until recently. A couple months now. It just keeps crashing or freezing when I read so I have to close the app about 5-10 times a chapter. A chapter. A CHAPTER MAN. And thousands of users have complained for months and there’s still nothing to show for it. I know you guys are trying to fix it but these complaints have gone on for too long. You guys just recently decided to fix it because it’s starting to hurt your money. Premium users are leaving because of the crashes. Authors are not making as much money as they should have because even when they are not getting paid by the ads in their works, ads find their way into their story. Even normal users are leaving and going to platforms like Radish because the premium thing is actually kinda useless when majority of the users were there for the free books. The efficiency of the application where you can read on the go without internet. Can’t do that now. A free application without in-app payments attracts people who probably did not have the money or maybe even wifi or data, changing that after years of the app running for free is not really going to please majority almost 90% maybe more of your consumer. I love the application, don’t get me wrong but this whole thing with premium and bug-fixes that never really fixes anything significant (freezing crashing etc..) is equivalent to hurting your consumers and your reputation.

4. 5/5curious? read this

   alright, i’ve had this app since 2013 and let me start this review by saying it’s definitely not the same as the old version. the changes aren’t too bad, once you get used to the adds that pop up every so often when you’re reading a story. they can get annoying and more consistent the longer you read, but again, you get used to them after a while. if not, just pay for premium (i actually wouldn’t recommend getting premium unless you’re REALLY bothered by the adds). overall this app is great. if you want to write a story, it’s not hard trying to figure out what specific buttons you’ve got to press in order to pick your story’s cover, select tags, add a new chapter and so on. i do have to warn you though, the app is known to crash when you’re in the middle of writing a chapter and deleting all of that progress you made, so be careful with that. getting your story views isn’t that difficult either, unless you’re a new author but even then your story will eventually get viewers. wattpad’s also a great app to make friends and find mutuals too. over the years i’ve met a lot of nice people, and gotten myself more than a lot of followers. you don’t need followers though, you can simply use wattpad to read, find friends, or do your own thing. it doesn’t matter if you’re trying to find a story of a specific fandom/an original story, wattpad’s perfect to pass time. so yes, i recommend it, regardless of the few problems it has occasionally.

5. 5/5App I’ll never forget

   Okay so I’ve had this app since I was 11… yes young. Yes it has other… stuff. But I feel like that was what happened to a lot of youngsters. I’m really glad though that this app isn’t like tumblr. Tumblr has been introduced into r@pe story’s. And people like that… and those story’s are called dark romances. And the thing I really like about wattpad is the dark story’s. Are NO WHERE near tumblr. And coming from someone who was (accidentally) introduced to those story’s at 12-13 im really glad wattpad is way different. Yes it is inappropriate. But by the time kids reach 11-12 even 13 they know a lot more. And I’ve heard a lot of parents complain about kids reading this stuff. And the only thing they should actually be worried about is if the kid is ACTUALLY doing it. And from my source. Literally all wattpad readers are socially awkward and are virgins until they are like 20 (No judge) but again that’s from my view. And parents have really made it a big deal. Which if they are actually doing the stuff it is a big deal. Other than that it’s fine. Also I’ve had a really big deal about how this app is that toxic other than like tumblr. This app feels way more safe than tumblr. So If I do ever have kids. And they (above 13 at most) and are reading this I wouldn’t really mind it. So parents don’t make it a big deal. Kids are doing worser. But again I love this app truly. Read wattpad. And yes this isn’t really a review just a rant. (Sorry for misspelling errors!) ❤️

   The app is ok, the ads are a bit annoying but tolerable. The only annoying thing is that when I put (–) or (—) it automatically changes to (-)

   I've been having trouble using this lately, I don't know if it's just me or what but everyone I search for something, it says that there's a problem or something like that. If I'm going to read, halfway through reading, it'll randomly say that there's a problem. I don't know what to do, I just want to read. I hope Wattpad will help me on this, it's getting annoying.
