Criticism & Constructive Feeback
Let’s cut to the chase: there are several issues that users find problematic.
Cons/Negatives
Save Button Issue
The requirement to press the save button makes the process unnecessarily complicated. Instead, the app should auto-save progress, with an option to recover deleted content, similar to Wattpad.
Paying for Views
Requiring users to pay for views is problematic. New users, especially those writing books, should receive coins or free access for the first 30 days as a trial period.
AI Generator and Genre Limitations
It’s frustrating to pay for the AI-generated book cover feature. Additionally, the app lacks many popular genres. Adding a specific NSFW genre instead of a generic "18+" tag would also improve categorization.
Scammers and Fake Accounts
Scammers asking for money in exchange for help with books are a nuisance. They often follow users' accounts, and even after being banned, their profiles remain visible as "unavailable."
Recommendations System
Instead of focusing on “Editor’s Picks,” “Reading Now,” and “Popular Books,” the app should recommend books based on a user’s saved items, likes, or reading history.
Account Deletion Issues
Deleting an account doesn’t seem to take effect after 30 days. I waited two months to remove my old account so I could start fresh, but it remained active. Worse, I could no longer access my books, posts, or even poems—only my drafts were visible on both the app and website.
Deleted Accounts and Their Books
When someone’s account is deleted, their books should also be removed. Leaving them up feels like false advertising, especially in the FanFic section.
