FanFiction Plus

I was previously using Pocket Fiction but find this one easier to use. Definitely be an app I will keep on my iPhone. Update: still using the app regularly. Only issue I have is it doesn’t always sync so the same stories are on my iPad and iPhone. But still great app. Love how it has a dark background much easier to read on at night. Note to developers: please add feature to sync between iPhone and iPad. I have different stories on each device vs. being able to just pick up where I left off when I switch. Which makes it difficult when I end up with the same stories on each device and then have to figure out where I left off on the other device manually. Having them being able to sync together would make things much easier and enjoyable to use.

1. If you do a general check for story updates, the app lists how many updates there are, and offers to run them all. But once updated, it can be very hard to tell which stories were updated (and which were real and which weren’t - there are occasional “false positives” on updates). That little bar showing reading progress is useful at the beginning, but when a story is over 80 chapters, the gray gap gets hard to notice. My suggestion: have a filter to only show stories in the Library with unread chapters. 2. Please add a feature to add stories by ID # 3. When browsing categories, even if the rating filter is set to All, it’s actually showing K-T. You have to switch the rating filter to M, then back to All, to truly show All. 4. It would be nice to have a “write a review” function at the end of a chapter. 5. More sorting functions in the Library would also be welcome, including sorting by the actual last update date for the story instead of the last time the app updated the story.

I downloaded this app last summer and it’s been amazing. The formatting is good, I like the audio option, the organization is simple. My only problem is that I can no longer read stories offline. I volunteer every weekend at a camp in the deep woods, so WiFi and reception are kind of spotty. I used to be able to download a story and read it up at camp, but lately when I try to do so, the app will just crash instead of loading a chapter. I’ve double checked that the story is downloaded and everything, but it will still crash. No big deal, I’ve been bringing paperback books with me now, but it’d be nice if this could be fixed :)

ask user to change the rating

Okay, so at first I fell in love with this app, it was good for a few weeks BUTTTT, there’s a few issues: 1) Having to go through all the things until I find the story I was reading, it’s so troublesome for not being able to just read the story where I left off the night before. 2) THERE WAS A FREAKING AD FOR A PORN SITE? It had explicit things, people doing stuff, and although I know olderish people probably read on this, but there’s probably innocent twelve year olds who probably don’t need to be seeing this!! I decided after this little incident that I couldn’t just continue to read on this site for fear that my little cousins or someone might take my phone and end up seeing a porn ad!

The download process is quite easy and the search has everything I personally want. The biggest issue I have is that when I try to use the reload button to see if any of my downloaded stories have been updated, it'll tell me that over 15 or more have been updated! When I individually check each one of the "updated" stories, none of them are actually updated and I realized that I wasted my time reloaded all of these stories. This is very irritating to me because I can't stand the little icon that indicated that the story is update when it's actually not. Please fix this!
