Used to love it but the lag is unbearable now
Simply put you can’t do anything without intense lag in the app anymore, I use fictivity because I hate reading on web and I have used fictivity since it was 3am and loved it, but now the lag is so horrendous I can’t even open a doc without having to wait 5 minutes for the app to respond. Might be time to switch apps.

Could you email support@fictivity.app and share your device and os version so that we can look into this? Thank you.
i love this
I was a big user of the app 3AM until one day it randomly got deleted and I was very upset. I wish I was able to track how much time I spent reading on the app just like I am on this app and this app is awesome. I love being able to keep notice of the stories I’ve read and how much I’ve read also while being able to see how much time I’ve spent reading and the percentage of where I’m at in the story. This is an awesome app and it is so much better than using AO3
on Safari love this app.

Nice interface
It feels very sleek and customizable with minimal to no adds I’ve seen so far

Best AO3 App!
Thank you! This app is amazing!
To potential users:
I did some investigating and I think this app is made by an individual developer or maybe a very small group who clearly care about the usability of the app. I’ve only been using it for a few weeks (and I happily subscribed to the payed version when the free trial was over) so here are my thoughts so far…
Pros:
- The pricing is reasonable
- The privacy/data collection policy is not scummy! No seriously—I care about this immensely! Most other “free” apps of this sort are showing ads and collecting user data to resell! They are not really free
- Backups are easy and available for the free version / iCloud is supported for payed users
- The actual reader is fantastic! Seriously, developer, I’m dyslexic and I have a request—would you consider making an ereader app? I’m going to send you an email about this but tl;dr the reading experience is the most accessible I’ve ever had. Particularly, because you allow the adjustment of contrast. I (and many other dyslexics) do better with LOW contrast so it’s so refreshing to see that supported!

Glad to hear you're having a great experience! Usability is the whole point of a reading app, your recognizing the care we put in the app means a lot. Thank you for taking the time to write a detailed review!
Fic filtering bug
Hello I love using this app for read fics on AO3 since I use mobile and its easier to read fics using this app but there is a bug with the filtering system that I’ve noticed where when I add tags to be excluded in my custom feed the tag just continues showing up even when I remove it with it not removing the fics with that tag and continues showing the tag even after I made sure it was meant to be excluded when I filtered for fics in the fandom I was looking at fics for so please fix it.
