TVTropes

This app is incredibly good for mobile browsing of the site, easy to navigate and understand. Their willingness to take feedback and suggestions to make it even better is wonderful, and you’ll easily lose time reading and researching your favorite media, fan works, and tropes. Just like the site already does!

So, first off, the app doesn’t exactly work on IPad for some reason. It functions, but for some reason the app’s always in portrait orientation. When you switch to landscape, the app switches accordingly, but remains in a portrait layout. Secondly, This app is pretty much everything that the browser version does, but it seems less tailored to editing articles and more to just reading the wiki. I dunno if I appreciate that or not. As someone who has way too many story ideas in my head and not enough writing skills to make something with them, I think the AI story generator is a very good and appropriate function. But I ended up wasting my uses on experimenting with it. Just… as long as none of you implement an AI image/art generator. I might legit delete my TVtropes account if that happens.

I’ll keep this brief, so my apologies if this sounds vague. It’s really cool that TVTropes finally got an official app after so long, but I have a few criticisms of it (discounting the AI discussion). I use the app on my tablet and tilted full screen looks really weird. A link I clicked on crashed the app, although it could just be that one specifically. All in all I think after a few months this app will really look awesome, and it’ll be a great way to introduce new people to the site. Thank you for reading!
