It’s to the point I’ve stopped using the APP and going back to the website!! ### 2/5 — Please update! *2026-08-19, version 66.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Messed up app *2026-08-18, version 66.0* Used to love the ap but reading is not working right. Keeps wanting to scroll when barely moving it. ### 2/5 — I can’t login to FanFiction *2026-08-17, version 66.0* 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 ### 2/5 — Can’t scroll… *2026-08-16, version 66.0* I can’t scroll at all. Very glitchy ### 3/5 — Update *2026-08-15, version 66.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Broken Scrolling *2026-08-13, version 66.0* 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? ### 4/5 — Please update *2026-08-11, version 66.0* Needs an update for the newest iOS version experiencing it toggles between full-screen while scrolling and freezing on some stories ### 3/5 — PLEASE FIX THE SCROLL BUG *2026-08-11, version 66.0* 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. ### 2/5 — Buggy and painful *2026-08-11, version 66.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Help - it’s not scrolling properly! *2026-08-09, version 66.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-08, version 66.0* 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. ### 2/5 — Scrolling Issue *2026-08-08, version 66.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Update plz *2026-08-07, version 66.0* This app has potential to be the best fanfic sight ### 4/5 — Great app but… *2026-08-03, version 66.0* The app needs to be updated due to a glitch with the new iOS. It is constantly cycling as you scroll between full screen and framed. It’s kind of annoying. ### 3/5 — Fanfiction.net *2026-07-30, version 66.0* It acts buggy when I try to scroll down while reading ### 2/5 — Scrolling Issue *2026-07-29, version 66.0* Scrolling is not consistent and jumps around a lot. Actively discourages me from using the app. Not enjoyable experiences trying to read. ### 2/5 — Happy there is an app *2026-07-29, version 66.0* The current problem is that both the app and site or down ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-19, version 66.0* Won’t let me delete my stories won’t let me delete my account. Have ads. ### 1/5 — Unusable to read anything *2026-08-17, version 66.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Scrolling Broken *2026-08-15, version 66.0* 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. ### 1/5 — App problems *2026-08-10, version 66.0* Y’all gotta fix your app, it’s jittery and won’t download, remember chapter totals, and it won’t download new stories. ### 1/5 — Extremely buggy *2026-08-08, version 66.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-08-04, version 66.0* Something is clearly wrong with the app has it’s glitching when you try and scroll while reading. Needs to be fixed. ### 1/5 — Can’t read on a fanfic app *2026-08-03, version 66.0* It would be nice if you could actually read the fics but there’s an issue with scrolling so you can’t. I only go on here for the nostalgia because certain writers never moved over to ao3 and I like to reread those old fics now and then. Guess I’ll just download them. ### 1/5 — Falling Apart *2026-08-03, version 66.0* There is the scrolling issue mentioned by others when reading, and now recent chapters for some stories are now inaccessible. ### 1/5 — Scrolling issue *2026-07-31, version 66.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Functionally Broken *2026-07-29, version 66.0* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Apple App Lagging *2026-08-18, version 66.0* 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 ### 5/5 — Perfect App needs a new update *2026-07-29, version 66.0* The app it’s great and lt always will be but need a new update I totally recommend it ### 5/5 — Tracyhill *2026-07-29, version 66.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Update plz *2026-07-18* This app has potential to be the best please update ### 5/5 — Bug et avis *2026-07-11* Bonjour , l’application est incroyable je lis dessus depuis 2013 mais malheureusement soudainement j’ai eu un bug au niveau des chapitre quand je veux swip pour lire ça bug et ça me fais revenir au paragraphe d’avant tout en remettant lavant page.. c’est presque impossible à lire ### 5/5 — Geting kicked out *2026-06-26, version 66.0* I keep getting kicked out of notifications or out of the app entirely. Please fix it. ### 5/5 — It does what is made for *2026-06-25* Basically you read all the fanfictions in different theme and fonts, you can search and filter them. These are all the things the website does not have. Had no problem with it ### 5/5 — Top *2026-06-16* Super appli mais attention gros bug de l’appli avec la nouvelle mise a jour IOS… à régler ! ### 5/5 — Notifications crashing *2026-06-14, version 66.0* I tried to access the notifications but the app keeps crashing fix this now ### 5/5 — L’écran *2026-05-13, version 66.0* L’application est incroyable, mais depuis que mon téléphone m’a trahi et a fait la maj ios26, c’est impossible de pouvoir lire sans que l’écran "clignote" avec le menu, s’il vous plais faites une mise à jour pour corriger ce bug --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
