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.

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.

Can’t handle high word count fics

Hello I just wanted to say that this is a good app it just can’t handle really big fics like 400k word fics and well.

We've made improvements in the latest versions. Feel free to update the app and try it out. Thank you!

I want to love this app

Notes feature doesn’t work.

Please allow for manual notes to be added or a default notes button similar to the bookmark button, or give the book mark button a double feature for bookmark or notes when pressed.

The holding down highlighted text does not work. At least allow Manuel entry and the ability to copy text, which isn’t a thing for some reason.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Text copy option should show up when selecting text, but it sounds like it did not show up for your. Could you reach out to support@fictivity.app and share your OS version so that we can investigate this issue? Thank you! PS: you can add notes via the "Write down your thoughts" button at the bottom of a chapter.

The app is good

That is good and easy to use i’m illiterate and it helps me listen to books easy to use and easy to navigate sorry if there’s any spelling mistakes

show finished works option

everything is fine, the app is super comfortable, but please add an option "show only finished" or "show only unfinished" in the feed filters, to reread the favourites from each interest and not search for them among all finished works. also would be nice to see a few most popular tags in the feed filter, like on ao3 site.

4.5 Just Missing 1 Thing IMO

I really like this app but would like it if stories that I’m following would appear in the custom feeds like they did in the 3AM app. I seem to be “losing” stories bc the search function is glitchy and does not always pull up fics when being searched for in my library. It appears once I’m reading/following/saved a fic they do not appear again in the search function outside of the library. If fics still appeared in the feeds it would be easier to keep track.

Thank you!

Hi there! Currently, stories saved in your library do not appear in feeds to help you keep discovering new stories to read, but we'll consider make this behavior configurable. They should still show up when searching with the search bar on Discover tab, or searching within your library. You could also check if your global filters might be blocking it. Feel free to email support@fictivity.app to help us learn more about your issue. Thank you for taking the time to write a review!

Problem

I enjoy the app but there are constantly something wrong with the app that needs to be fixed . It’s really frustrating especially when I’m reading something and it won’t load

I was so excited to see a new version of the previous 3am app. It has several awesome features that I wish AO3 would implement. I love that it tracks stories you’ve already read or started, and when you open it, it picks up right where you left off—unlike AO3.
I also love the talk-to-text feature, even though it can be a bit glitchy at times, with voices occasionally cutting out or reading from a previous fic and needing to be reset. I really appreciate that it connects directly to my AO3 account, so I can see my bookmarks, saved-for-later items, and locked fics without going back and forth between the two.
The annual fee is very reasonable.

Kinda Useless Without Paying

I was really excited to try this out, and I can admit that there are some cool features. But you really can’t do anything without paying for the subscription. You can’t make collections, you can’t read restricted fics, you can’t lock the app, you can’t easily import fics you’ve read outside of their browser, you can’t connect to ao3, and it doesn’t seem like there’s any way to actually track your reading stats besides the time you spend in their app.

I’ll most likely try the free trial, but for those of you who want to track your stats WITHOUT paying a subscription fee, I’d recommend using SoftGoods.
