Mechanical Issues

While it is mostly good, the app has the problem of immediately undoing your editing with the back button, which is a nuisance. There are also some problems with editing where it doesn’t sync up to the site.

Please update this to iPad

on iPad the guest button is completely inaccessible. The font is so small on iPhone. Now you can’t use online tvtropes with adblockers on. Thanks a lot. When you search for something pass the first search, it always zooms in max for some reason.

Love the site, app needs work

The app is great because it hosts all of the content of the site however, all of said content is a little harder to navigate paired with a buggier ui. Would love to see this app get the care that it needs, great otherwise.

Needs Work

I like it. It’s easy to use, but could use some fine tuning here and there. One bug that’s been bothering me is how the app annoyingly zooms in on the search bar whenever I search more than one term. I’d rly appreciate if you were to fix that.

Thumbs up

It’s so nice to have a dedicated TVTropes app.

Awesome app

Genuinely great app. Genuinely great site as well. I LOVE TV TROPES. Thanks to all the tropers who make this possible :)

Update the app or update the articles

It’s nice to have this app since my mobile browsers complain about blocking ads. But I want the articles to be updated over time.

It’s awesome

I’m enjoying reading tv tropes

It works, I guess?

It's a mostly functional app wrapping a web view, but I appreciate the effort and attempt at having a discreet app on my phone.

Same problem with tabs, and then pinned and favorite. Please update this to iPad

I have the same problem of too many tabs. Then I tried pinning or favoriting the tabs and made things worse. It changed the tab to a default tab and I have no clue where my pinned and favorited pages are now.
A month later and the problem hasn’t been fixed yet. And on iPad the guest button is completely inaccessible. Now you can’t use online tvtropes with adblockers on. Thanks a lot.

Fire

So fire

I love it! But using it is so much work

Emotional rant and complaints: (see bottom for blunter problems and solutions)

The problem is, when i want to keep a trope to remember or look back onto, i only have the choice to like. The problem is i can not have any sections or categories yo put the trope in. It would be great if i could even put the one trope in multiple sections. The next issue is-since there's no catagories, i can't have a clear view of the vibes. I'll have one mission or idea, and scavenge the site for anything that related or can grow on that idea. But once im done with that mission... damn, deleting those liked tropes to ho to the next hyperfixation is exhausting. Even if its two pages of tropes, i have to delete each trope one by one. Click, click click slide click click click click swipe- oh i accidentally clicked on the trope that i already removed. Click. Click. And four more clicks.

To put it bluntly, without the first draft personal emotional response:
1) i would love to see an option to add tropes to little files, like a trope, have an option to put it in a personal playlist of sorts.

2) Having the ability to add liked tropes to more than one said "playlist."

3 Having the ability to multi-select liked tropes to delete them, without having to click onto its profile individually to delete.

Love the new app!

I do have a suggestion however: when it comes to the story generator and you’re selecting tropes, there should be an option to randomize each section individually, because I’m sick of just scrolling or searching for something if I’m more in the mood for picking random. It would be more interesting…

You’ll get lost on this, the good way!

This app is incredibly good for mobile browsing of the site, easy to navigate and understand. Their willingness to take feedback and suggestions to make it even better is wonderful, and you’ll easily lose time reading and researching your favorite media, fan works, and tropes. Just like the site already does!
