User Reviews

Reviewers largely report that FanFiction.Net for iOS glitched severely after an iOS update (notably iOS 26), with scrolling triggering taps, the screen jumping, or the reader becoming unreadable. The issue renders the app effectively unusable and shows little maintenance for months. Some mention unreliable workarounds (tap a word to scroll). Positive notes are scarce but include appreciation for the app’s concept and UI, and that it provides in-app reading rather than a browser, a longtime benefit for years of use.
Pros
  • Good idea for mobile reading of FanFiction.Net.
  • Nice UI.
  • Longstanding presence with years of use.
  • Provides in-app reading rather than a browser, which some users prefer.
Cons
  • Severe scrolling glitches and tapping-like behavior after iOS updates (especially iOS 26), making reading essentially impossible.
  • No timely updates; the app feels abandoned and remains unusable for months.
  • Translation feature not working and screen freezing when trying to scroll.
  • Limited features and weaker editor/formatting compared to the website, plus poorer syncing and missing reader statistics.
  • Unreliable workarounds (e.g., tapping a word to enable scrolling) indicate underlying instability rather than a real fix.

Have loved the app for years but omg the scrolling bug makes it nearly unusable. I do hope a developer can get around to fixing it, it’s been a few months of the issue and I’m kinda losing hope. I think the issue has something to do with IOS 26?

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.

I use this app constantly. But now it is COMPLETELY UNUSABLE since I just updated my phone to iOS 26…… Or I guess I should say it’s ONLY usable for text to speech now, as that hasn’t changed but actually READING is completely broken now.
