User Reviews

Most reviews pit past usability against current instability: offline reading was a major plus, but crashes, domain/error issues, and an inability to download or update stories are frequent. FF.net changes and new ads exacerbate problems, with the app feeling outdated and poorly updated for recent iOS versions. Users report disruptive ads, battery drain, and occasional piracy/IP concerns. The core demand is for stability, proper updates, and reliable download/update functionality, with a preference for restoring the prior ad model balance and broader content sources.

Pros

Offline reading and download capability for stories (read fics offline).
Free-to-use app providing access to fan fiction without payment.
Convenience of reading on the go (read anywhere, travel-friendly).
Long-time availability and popularity for fan fiction reading when working.

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues (crashes on launch, freezing, closing).
Inability to download or update new stories due to changes by FanFiction.net / Cloudflare blocks.
Intrusive ads (full-screen video ads, hard-to-close, battery drain) degrade the reading experience.
Outdated app not kept up with current iOS versions; insufficient updates and compatibility fixes.
Persistent errors and loading issues (domain errors, 'error' messages, search/sort problems).

I used to really like this app I used it all the time to read fics offline but now the software is too out of date to keep up with the current apple software. I hope you’ll update soon.
