Ratings and reviews

This is a really good app that helped add some variety to my language learning. I remember a while back, a lot of people who were also going through the learning process advised reading fanfiction, because fanfiction is mostly written in very simple language. And it was a good alternative to sometimes difficult literature. And the fact that, essentially, a site that has one of the largest fanfiction databases was able to create an app that helps so much with learning. :>>>

I can't believe I stumbled into this amazing app. I've used so many apps like this for book reading & half of the features in this app are locked behind a paywall in ebook readers. I'm learning a language that doesn't have many fics which makes me wish you guys made an ebook reader JUST like this. thank you tho,this is amazing

such an awesome app!!! learning with ao3 fics was always my dream and I want to thank developers for it coming true! to put it in other words, you get no ads, absolutely free app, where you can - open every ao3 fic (works like a browser); - have your own dictionary with words you've learned from fics; - you can also practice it with similar to Quizlet cards system It is so so awesome, admiring it so so much!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
