Ratings and reviews

Speaking as a reader, The UI is simple yet very effective and easy to use. Im not aware of the functions for an author, but I know that navigating the app and its functions are pretty easy for the reader. There is a wide selection of stories and has a working notification system for new releases for followed stories. Only reason i gave it 4 stars was for the overwhelming selection of romance stories (not the apps fault). But there are plenty of other genres and stories to read outside of that.

Been on the site for a while and never had issues but the app is pretty rough. I'm sure it'll be fixed at some point but at the moment the latest update causes the app the minimize after launch. So I can use it for maybe 2 seconds then goodbye. Back to the website I guess. Update: So the crashing has been fixed, but now a full screen ad hijacks the app every once in a while. I'm not even touching the phone, just reading, and then bam, random full screen ad.

With the latest update, I can no longer submit edits. The option doesn't come up when highlighting text. I dislike the new bottom navigation buttons. I would much prefer an option to customize the bottom row buttons. I don't use the audio/screen reading and would rather have the old layout. Maybe hide unused buttons under a 3 dot menu? Lastly, properly overlay the clock widget. It often tries to display this along with the native Android toolbar.
