App

The app needs updating, I can’t scroll down or text a story unless a swipe out of it

Scrolling glitches, otherwise great

Yep, this app is generally better than the website for looking through my favorites and follows, but after you find the story you want you’re better off using the website as the scrolling glitch makes the main reader feature pretty much unusable, which is a shame because the reader had some really really nice features that I miss. The only exception to this is you can still read using the app if you only use voiceover (meaning you don’t have to touch the screen except to move to the next chapter). So yeah. Really wonderful app that ended up getting a glitch and is now only one step above useless.

Bug défilement?

J’aime beaucoup cette application et l’utilise depuis plusieurs années. Cependant un problème est apparu depuis peu qui rend la lecture impossible/ très peu confortable. Dès que je suis sur une histoire en plein écran et veux décoller avec mon doigt pour lire la suite, l’appli remet/ enlève/ remet/ enlève le mode plein écran. Je pense c’est un bug transitoire mais impossible de lire une historie correctement.

Really don’t bother

This app has basically been abandoned and is becoming more and more broken with each major iPhone update. The only convenience that exists is that it’s slightly better to look at compared to the web browser

Scrolling broken on new phones

I can’t scroll my 18 pro max at all. It was fine with 13 pro max but 18 is unusable. Glitchy as all hell and terrible. I love this site and the app iv used for nearly a decade now but this is wanting me to delete it

Scrolling is Bugged. Just use the website

As the title of this review says, just use the website.
When I try to scroll on the app, the UI keeps trying to pop up and it gets all jittery.

Can’t Open

Every time I try to open the app, it keeps pushing me out. It’s like it’s crashing all the time.

Bug fix needed

This app is great for reading all of your favorite fanfics! Recently I noticed that the scroll is super glitchy. It’s pretty annoying having to pull your focus out of the story in order to scroll because the page starts going haywire. I hope this bug can get fixed soon to smooth out the user experience!

Fallen from Grace

I use to love this app and site. I started with the site and it was great an expanded my FF world. The joy I had when I first found they had an App was life changing. But in the last Year ever since September of 25 it has fallen. The Mods don’t exist, the Admins are missing. And the App is endlessly just falling apart and dying. Hopefully it will get fixed and return to operation but at this point I’m not holding my breath for the App or website.

App crashes at launch

App just crashes at launch with nothing that can change that. Also, the bug from the scrolling was also there but still not fixed it’s been a full year. I wish they fix this app

Loved the app until recently

The scroll is all messed up!! It won't scroll properly at all please fix asap!

Last IOS update

There are several problems with this app since the lat iOS update. Including scrolling, text to speech, the top bar not coming down far enough and others. Please update this. It’s been 2 years since the last update.

Broken Scroll

Please, for the love of god, fix the scrolling issues. I should not have to have the search open or enable scrolling via the volume buttons to avoid the screen jumping around.

Almost unusable for reading

The app has now been almost complete unusable for over a year. At this point I only use the app to search for stories to read on the website. Since iOS 26 you can’t just drag on the screen to scroll (still broken as of iOS 27.0.1). It jumps around too much for enjoyable reading and the volume button to scroll isn’t an adequate alternative.

To whom it may concern

I’ve been using this app for about 10 years now I love it and I loved being able to see the notifications and clicking it to see what updated
Sadly it now freezes whenever I press the Notification button in app

App doesn’t scroll properly anymore.

App doesn’t scroll properly anymore. It just glitches out when you try to move slightly up or down.

App scrolling problems

Currently won’t let you back out of a story after scrolling at all. Forced to close the app completely and then reopen it to back up within the app.

The update sucks

I used to be able to scroll down while I read but now because of the update it’s true what people say, the scrolling is so wonky and doesn’t let you read properly. Please fix this!!

Scrolling issues

I used to really like this app. It was great. Now you can’t scroll down a page properly. It is extremely annoying. This issue has been present for months and has never been fixed.

Kommt noch ein Update?

Eigentlich mag ich die App sehr gerne wegen der vorlese Funktion habe aber schon die letzten knapp 2 Jahre Probleme, wie das meine gespeicherten Storys gelöscht werden und generell der Download von neuen Storys nicht mehr funktioniert. Habe schon mehrere neue Accounts gemacht um zu gucken ob das klappt aber es funktioniert nichts mehr wie es soll sobald man sich ausloggt kommt Mann nicht mehr rein
