I love this app
There are only a few places where I'd like to see improvements: better support for skins (some social media fics force me to visit the site), ability to follow specific series as well as authors, and--my fantasy feature--a way to export lists (collections or custom) for sharing recs with others.
But even as is I think this is a woefully underhyped app and I tell everyone about it.
Response from developer
So glad to hear that you're enjoying the app, and thank you for sharing your suggestions! Feel free to share a few fics where skins are not supported well with support@fictivity.app so that we can look into it.
Been 5 star until recently
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback! Feel free to share some links to stories you couldn't load to support@fictivity.app so that we can investigate further. You can also try clearing cache in settings. Thank you!
Had to buy

Thank you for your feedback! Supporting summaries and author notes in TTS is something we would love to do in the future.
Best AO3 App!
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!
Used to love it but the lag is unbearable now
Response from developer
Could you email support@fictivity.app and share your device and os version so that we can look into this? Thank you.
