## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Piracy in app form

*2026-04-04*

Yeah. I don’t like this one. No authors were contacted before putting their books here and several of them have  expressed their refusal not to be on here. Expect many more books to be taken down. 

Descriptions for the books is also bad. 

Royal Road already has an app, having Royal Road stories here is pointless. You also have web browsers already on the phone for the other places. Just use those over this.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The earlier version included AI-generated covers, which was a mistake, those have been completely removed. 

The app is a reading client that loads stories directly from AO3/SB/SV/RR, same as using Safari. No content is copied or hosted. Appreciate you raising this.

### 5/5 — Great for reading long fics

*2026-04-24*

reading long fanfics on my phone much more comfortable. I like the clean layout, bookshelf, and chapter navigation.

It feels focused and lightweight, without a lot of unnecessary stuff.

### 5/5 — clean ao3 reader

*2026-04-06*

does exactly what i want, just a simple way to read ao3 fics on my phone without dealing with the mobile site. 

bookshelf feature is handy for keeping track of longer reads.

### 5/5 — Finally a good way to read SB fics on iPhone

*2026-03-16*

Been reading Trailblazer (1.7M words) on this and it's so much better than using Safari on SpaceBattles. Hoping for AO3 support eventually but for SB/SV this is already solid.
