Can’t scroll on iso

It’s terrible I like reading on the app but the scroll function is broken now.

Love it but.:.

I love the app I’ve used fanfiction for years but… when I am reading I don’t like having to fight to scroll down. It’s to the point I’ve stopped using the APP and going back to the website!!

Trash

Won’t let me delete my stories won’t let me delete my account. Have ads.

Please update!

I love this app, and will give a 5 star in the future. But until this app has updated for the iOS 26, I just cannot do that for now. It is hard to scroll to read without the glitching of the bars.

Apple App Lagging

Hello. I’m not exactly sure when it started, but for a while. The stories on my app on my IPhone can’t slide correctly. It’s stuck in place and when I try to slide down or up it just stays in place

Messed up app

Used to love the ap but reading is not working right. Keeps wanting to scroll when barely moving it.

I can’t login to FanFiction

The logins that are connected to their other accounts are not letting use login at all and I can’t even read my favorite FanFiction at all

Unusable to read anything

While in this state it is impossible to read anything due to the toolbar disappearing and reappearing as you attempt to scroll. Needs fix asap.

Can’t scroll…

I can’t scroll at all. Very glitchy

Scrolling Broken

I used to love this site and app and still love the stories but you can’t even scroll and read anymore with the newer iPhone updates. It’s been a year. Fix it.

Update

So I’ve been using this app for years and over time I’ve noticed more things that need fixing. There is a pause whenever I go from my main screen to if I tap on any of the section shortcuts. Then the auto correct for the document creation is nonexistent. Maybe that last one is just me but I have that problem on both my iPhone and iPad. Still useful app for reading fanfiction.

Broken Scrolling

The scrolling feature has been broken for some months now, and it’s broken for pretty much everyone. Are we ever getting a fix for this?

Please update

Needs an update for the newest iOS version experiencing it toggles between full-screen while scrolling and freezing on some stories

PLEASE FIX THE SCROLL BUG

Please I beg of you. Fix the scrolling bug. I’ve been dealing with it for nearly a year now and I can’t stand it. I love the app cause it’s so easy to change font size and style and use the audiobook function, but it’s impossible to actually navigate a chapter if the screen keeps jumping around and toggling the full screen off/on. It’s so bad that I physically feel ill trying to scroll as I read. I miss when it was buttery smooth.

Buggy and painful

The app used to be my go-to for fanfiction reading, which had always been several hours a day. Unfortunately somewhere along the way the app hasn’t kept up with whatever it needs to, and it’s now painful to use.

Scrolling doesn’t work properly anymore. If you’re like me, you might have hidden the top and bottom banners but now that it’s impossible to scroll properly either top, bottom or both reappear whenever you try to scroll through the chapter. Makes it unusable in my experience, and it’s so frustrating I’m back to reading FF on my phone browser instead.

App problems

Y’all gotta fix your app, it’s jittery and won’t download, remember chapter totals, and it won’t download new stories.

Help - it’s not scrolling properly!

I love this app! I really do. I love being able to easily access fan fics on my phone. That being said, a few months back the app started glitching when you scroll. It jumps around and it’s just really wonky.

Disappointed

Been using this app for years but for some reason In the last few months it’s been having more and more glitches pop up, I can’t download any story, it keeps telling me story’s have been deleted from another device (I have no other device), it refuses to keep chapters loaded and it keeps setting reeding mode to dark on its own when nothing else does. Please fix these bugs and then I’ll update my score.

Extremely buggy

Scrolling doesn’t work. It’s very jittery and makes it impossible to use the app. Very disappointing. It used to be convenient and comfortable to read on the app since it supports font size changes and different background colors.

Scrolling Issue

This app has been great for years but recently with the current update, scrolling makes the screen jump around and it makes reading very hard. Please fix the app I’ve used for a decade.
