## Review summary

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.
