Good app
Does what it says.Bealullabyz
Absolute nonsense
Look, the biggest problem here is that the developer is charging for fanfiction, which is a complete no-no. Anyone who has been in the fandom world for longer than five minutes should know that charging for fanfiction is a bad idea, even and especially when a developer hiding that charge behind “developer costs.”
On top of that, I can almost certainly guarantee that at least 80% of the works on this app were mirrored without the permission or knowledge of the original authors. I should know that because at 1.300 of them were my own. The only bit of credit I can give this person is that they took down my work immediately after I emailed them, but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
Archive of Veron is free, and will remain free, so please continue to use that website and do not support developers that are charging for fanfiction without the knowledge of the original authors and are putting fanfiction in a legal gray area that makes things a little more dangerous.Show lessRiley Masters

I loved this app until they got money hungry and put a reading limit reading is my outlet for life and now I only have an hour of escapeDedo🔛🔝
Not an official app
Does what it says. Not an official ao3 app nor is it endorsed by ao3, like it says on description. Has good extra features. The time limit is a bummer thoughGood app
It is an amazing app but ao3 has stopped the app because of the pay wallJrod young
403 error
Hi, I truly loved that you made this an app and I think you did a great job on it. There has been malfunctions lately, an error 403 and I have not been able to use the app at all😔 I hope it is fixed soon I miss using this app!Wiwi33!
Still getting the error message
The most recent update of the app says that it was put there to fix an error message. I’m still getting that error message I already tried removing the app and re-downloading it no changeMccargos
I’m a fanfic author on ao3
I do not want my works on an external site. I don’t want my works anywhere that is not the ao3 website. Having any sort of monetization on fanfic opens the door for lawsuits.CrazyCatMeow
AO3 is free to use and will never require a premium
To those who may have been mislead by this app and its “reading limits”- AO3 is a COMPLETELY FREE website full of fan-made works. Fanfic writers are allowed to create and publish these works online ***without threat of being sued by the IP owners*** because NO MONEY IS MADE OFF OF FANFICTION HOSTED ON THEIR SITE. App “developers” like these jeopardize the legality of fanfic for the entire space because they think it’s clever to see how many $1/mo subscriptions they can get.Show lessalyssagutcher
Profiting off of fan-authors without their consent.
The app creator literally makes money with a premium subscription so people can read works that were posted for free on ao3 without the author’s consent. This app literally profits off the work of other people. For the sake of ficwriters everywhere, dont use the app. There are plenty of ways you can read fanfiction easily on your phone without the use of this app— ao3 has a download function and you can literally turn fics into ebooks if you want—
Please dont download this app.Show lessGladiolusandIris
