User Reviews

Users generally praise FFS as a strong iOS AO3 reader with easy sign-in and accessible content, and they’re hopeful for future improvements. However, recurring complaints include blank pages preventing story loading and a lack of sorting/search for bookmarks and marked-for-later, with some noting VPN workarounds. Overall, the app is favored but needs fixes in loading reliability and bookmark organization to reach its potential.

Pros

Strong overall AO3 reader on iOS; many users describe it as the best/great option.
Login works and content is accessible after signing in.
Positive reception with expectation for ongoing improvements.

Cons

Blank pages loading for stories; reported by multiple reviews and can block reading.
Bookmark/marked-for-later management lacks sorting and search functions; users want sorting by date updated.

Recent reviews

I like the app. Being able to read AO3 stories on my phone is great. But, it won’t ever sync. I can log in, but then it tells me to check my internet connection (full bars). It never lets me see favorited updated fics.

I noticed that the app has a flaw in that as a result of me having over a thousand bookmarks and many marked for later I can’t see them all. There are no like pages function for those tabs. Also, for future features it would be great if the marked for later and bookmark tabs had sorting and search functions. Overall this is a great app I just wish it didn’t have this flaw and had the functions I listed. This the best ao3 reader on iOS so I hope it continues to improve.
