### 3/5 — Pretty Good

*2024-06-18*

I really love the app but for some reason it doesn’t suggest mature or explicit fics at all to me just general, teen and up, or not rated.

### 5/5 — Loveee

*2024-01-31*

My new favorite app. This makes finding new fics so easy and I love the interface.

### 5/5 — The best thing ever

*2023-11-24*

I love this so much. I used to use a python recommender for fics and it could take 5 minutes to give me 10 recommendations, I also had to load google colab, and the thing could crash out of nowhere, rending my time wasted.

This is so good, so lovely, the UI is so intuitive, and the fact that it gives you a direct link to the page so you can still kudos the writer is great.

Could you please add filters? For the recs it puts out? Either way this is fantastic, thank you so much for making it.

### 5/5 — Great AO3 companion

*2023-08-26*

Fun way to keep track of the fics you’ve read, and discover new ones. Excited to see how this app grows over time and develops further, but so far so good!
