Needs software update

I used to really like this app I used it all the time to read fics offline but now the software is too out of date to keep up with the current apple software. I hope you’ll update soon.

Help

This app won’t let me read it because every time I go on it it say error 1 and it won’t show me any of the stories

Just use the official app, why are you here?

That’s it.

I CAN’ T FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE THIS APP

I have never had so much trouble trying to figure out an app. Plz help me!!!😭

Doesn’t work anymore

I used to love this app, until my phone got stolen and I had to redownload it and try to get all my stories back, only to find that I can’t download any stories whatsoever. It lets me search for them and I can even get as far as hitting the download button, but it stays at 0% downloaded forever.

It’s a shame too, cause unlike other fanfiction apps out there, this one let me organise my Fics for a much easier time finding things, but being a good app when it functions is meaningless if it doesn’t function.

Faithful Pocket Fiction User

I have used the Pocket Fiction App faithfully for years. I purchased the “Extra Features”. I have transferred this app from one iPod Touch to another followed by an iPad and I was able to retrieve all of the stories that I have saved at FanFiction.Net. Today I attempted to transfer to a new iPad (9th Generation, so definitely up to date), and I can’t retrieve anything. I appear to possibly still have the “Extra Features” but it does me no good as I can’t access FanFiction.Net. The whole reason that I chose to purchase a new iPad was so that I could still use this Pocket Fiction, which apparently I cannot do.

Needs an update

Since FF.net moved servers I haven’t been able to download any fics.

App

It crashed when I first opened the app. Can you update the app

Wonderfully Broken

I love having an app where I can read anywhere at any time. This WAS my most used app. It’s broken and has been for months.

Frustrated

I used to use this all the time loved it, but it won’t load all of the story any more -only the first chapter or two - its really annoying.

Long time lover but…

The thing is that I can deal with ads, I’m almost happy to use them at times because it reminds me that I am technically getting a free service. I’ve used this app for years, loved it the whole time.
Now the reason that I am giving this a 1 star rating right now is because of the fact that I literally can not use the app anymore. This is because I can not download any new stories anymore.
So I restarted the app, a couple times, delated it and reinstalled it, a couple times, I can’t get even my old stories re-downloaded. I hope this app gets updated because I loved it. Btw I know this is because Fanfiction.net has a new thing on the loading each things/chapter so maybe try to work something out.

Completely useless

Thanks to the lack of support and fanfiction.net putting up cloudflare and captcha, this app can’t do anything now. It can neither download stories or detect updates for stories you already have. The only question is why this is still available on the App Store

Used to be so good

Now, you get an ad for every chapter you click on (used to be at the bottom of the screen, which was fine). And I mean a full-size video ad that has to play for at least five seconds. They couldn’t even crop it right, so the “close ad” button is mostly cut off by the bottom of your screen.

On top of that, don’t bother downloading the app if you don’t have it already, because you can’t download stories anymore. You literally can’t read any story that you don’t already have saved.

Fix this

For some reason every time that I try to get on the app now it says pocketfictiondomain error.1 before that was okay it still worked but now it’s opening for a few seconds and then closes the app. I was even fine with the ad pop ups but this makes the app pointless to have. Btw before this gets said I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Now I have a new problem it says a story has one chapter when it has over 200k words and of course the only chapter I can read is the first one please fix this

Constant crashing

I want to read stories offline because my job makes internet connection almost impossible. But I can’t download anything when the app crashes whenever I try to download something

HELP!!!!!

App keeps crashing and won’t load long stories!

What happened?

I would pay for a version of this app to work. This app used to be great but something must’ve happened. It’s basically unusable now.

was my fav for a long time but....

cant download save stories anymore.
cant sort by character anymore.
always getting an error message.
can ONLY read things i downloaded.
i want my pocket fiction back!!!!!!

Can't download any more

Great app been using it for years on a old iPad as storage and offline reading but for the last week or so it just crashes every time I try to update my favourite's or any story individually. I've really enjoyed the app even with it issues here and there and because of the basic nature of it never had to worry to much of it becoming to much for my old iPad but now it just won't work.

Review

I used to love this app but at times when I’m searching for an author or story it keeps kicking me out of the app to where I can hardly get to read a full story.
