Scrolling issue

I like this platform but the app seems to have an issue with the scrolling. When I scroll, it jumps from one place to the next, disrupting the reading pace.

Fanfiction.net

It acts buggy when I try to scroll down while reading

Scrolling Issue

Scrolling is not consistent and jumps around a lot. Actively discourages me from using the app. Not enjoyable experiences trying to read.

Happy there is an app

The current problem is that both the app and site or down

Perfect App needs a new update

The app it’s great and lt always will be but need a new update I totally recommend it

Frustrated

love this app but suddenly I can’t use it to reset my password after having done so just yesterday bc the captcha won’t appear, it’s totally greyed out. really frustrated that now I suddenly can’t log into my account ANYWHERE.

Functionally Broken

I have used this app for a number of years, and until the last year or so I would have had nothing but praise for it. However, over the past year it has become increasing inoperable.

This manifests in non-loading stories or pages. It causes story updates to be reported and then inaccessible—a story with 26 chapters listed, will load with 9 of them, for example.

I continue using it mostly out of habit; I could not recommend it to others at this point.

Unsupported

This app hasn’t had an actual bug fix in years and the app shows as it gets buggier and buggier. Scrolling while reading not possible, loading the next chapter of a story being read might never show up after multiple retry’s, story search’s showing over a thousand matches but only loading at most 50 before saying it reached the end not loading anymore, additional bugs that have never gotten fixed in the years I have used this app

Tracyhill

I do know the app itself and everything about it. I wish you were just more things you can do and can see the pictures you post. For the main picture of your story or able to see what is about that’s only thing I can complain about it.

I love this app but…

Please fix the glitch. Everyone has been complaining 🥲

Buggy mess

Stories keep deleting themselves when opened, newer chapters aren't showing up or just refusing to open, and scrolling is broken. This state of this app is unacceptable.

Doesn’t scroll

It doesn’t let you scroll down on the app meaning that you can’t read anything it’s been like this for ages lol

Needs an update

Touching screen makes it enter and exit full screen mode. Workaround is to hold any random word, click the search button and in the dropdown at the bottom of the screen, put in a random string of letters after the word you searched. This will allow you to scroll and change chapters, but you need to do this every time you open a new book.

scrolling is broken

the app has become unusable since the ios26 update came out. scrolling doesn’t work anymore since it fights against the direction you’re trying to scroll and you can’t read anything. this app was decent for a while, especially since the website is so messed up but now both suck and the devs dgaf. like okay :/

Disappointed

The screen keeps scrolling up and down. Makes it very difficult to read.

I love the app there are just some issues.

I love the app, but there a few issues here and there. New updates to stories occasionally don’t load in that they’ve been updated despite getting a notification they have and even seeing in the title showing a higher number on the total chapters. It doesn’t affect the older stories that are long finished, but the new ones recently updated will occasionally glitch. I’ll be reading a story that says it has 9 chapters then go to play a game on a different app and not come back till the app timed out and I had to reload the app, but with it reloads the story I was reading plenty of times it will then claim it has less chapters. So I have to close it and reopen it until it shows the proper chapter. There is also the loading of the stories themselves sometimes. I’m not sure if it’s just my phone. It could be just me, but I’ve lost track of the amount of times I’ve had to sit there and just keep hitting retry until stuff loads properly. Again I love the app it’s just the little things slowly annoying me until I snap. I would deeply appreciate if you could fix these things please. It would be very appreciated. I listen to the stories on the app through the little reader function. I’m not sure what it’s called, but I listen to it everyday and I love the stories and would appreciate if these things could be fixed.

Glitching

I have used this app for 6+ years however the last few months the app has glitched causing the toolbar to constantly open and close. I have only been able to use the app when using the audio function if I want to read a book I have to use the website instead now due to this issue

Buggy

The app doesn’t comfortably let you do the thing the app is actually for. Ya know, reading. When you try to scroll, the screen glitches. It’s incredibly frustrating.

Update plz

This app has potential to be the best please update

Screen Scrolling Issues

I just noticed this issue as I have been away from the app for a little while. But when trying to scroll down to continue reading the chapter the screen does not want to scroll down and even restarts the chapter. This is quite annoying. I have been reading FanFiction for a long time now but I hate not being able to read at my normal pace due to a glitch. I would have rated this app higher but if I can’t read the stories what’s the point of having the app.
