I love this app, and it's totally amazing. however, I forgot my password to my account and sent a request for a reset. I got the email but everytime I click it an error message pops up. I've tried resetting my password multiple times, sometimes months apart, and it still doesn't work. Please fix this and I'll rate it five stars!

I've been in this community a while and it's pretty good. Anyways I like it, there's just a few issues I've noticed that have gone unfixed for a long time. First of all there's no mystery genre, about half of the stories I write are mystery and I can't put mystery as their genre. This second point I have isn't a bug, but I still want to mention it. The covers are too small. I wish I had the option to keep my cover small or make it bigger. I'd really appreciate it if the devs fixed this stuff.

Huge potential, but buggy and not user friendly. I love the fact that you can collaborate with other writers, but there is no option to choose that feature from mobile when creating a new story. That has to be done from the computer website. Also, the intro of your story can not be edited once you create your new story, which is super frustrating. And when posting in the Story Plan topics, any messages I post get duplicated. PLEASE fix these things! So much potential if you just fixed the bugs!
