There has not been any CRITICAL Updates for a long while, especially for those with IPhone Devices. There is no way to clear the massive notifications folder on the App at all, and there is no notifications of said Story got deleted at all either. There is also no flavorful options for changing the background or even adding more flair to your Profile either. There is also the benefits, however, or still Reading and Downloading Stories for those that use the App itself, and even still searching for said Stories… Which there should be easier search options for this App as well. I think this App needs some improvements and loved on as people still use this App for their Stories while out and about as well, especially Editing their Stories too.

At first the app starts off great. But over the years it begins to have some issues. The current issue that I am having with the app. Is regarding when I get notifications of new chapters being added to a story that I am reading. Only for the app to say that an error has occurred, it can not load in the new chapter or the story. Then it asks me to refresh the app. But when I do refresh the app. Instead of having for example 12 chapters. The story will refresh and instead, only load in the first two. Then when i go to exit the story. Instead of seeing the story with all of its 12 current chapters. The app goes and says that the story only has the 2 first chapters. When there are actually 12. I don’t know why this happening. But this bug seems like it will be a major issue for all readers. Hopefully it gets resolved quickly. This seriously needs an upgrade and a update

The app works pretty well in theory. You can download and save stories, you can get notifications about authors you like and you can join communities to help find stories you would like. The problem is that it only works in theory. The app is heavily flawed in the fact that it freezes constantly. The notifications tab will consistently crash the app in addition to being unable to clear. Due to this fact, it becomes a ticking time bomb that will eventually crash the app if you try to use it. The library/ download stories option works until the story updates, then it will start to delete chapters and incorrectly display the stories rather than update them. The search terms and engine that is used across the site is buggy, only allowing for limited terms and tags rather than allowing the user to limit the results. Additionally the tags label stories that were long since deleted as being applicable, meaning that you can look up a tag and find nothing in the search results even when the app says there should be multiple posts with it. The community tab has absolutely be search methods outside of series category, meaning that it is effectively useless for finding stories due to this fact. Additionally the genre tag system is broken, showing posts that are not in the listed genre and breaking other search results. The private messages function just doesn’t work at all. If you try to use it, no-one will see the messages or replies unless they are using only the app. The website does not reflect the input from the app at all. Overall, the app works, but it needs to have many parts of it fixed. It’s buggy, laggy, and fails to run consistently.
