User reviews

The adds are excessive and ruin the app.

The amount of ads I have to watch and the “3 skips” that don’t work are frustrating and annoying.

Adverts

I’m not kidding bro after EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER I get an advert it’s not fun I’d rather have an advert after every 5-10 chapters not every 1 chapter. Apart from the adverts the app is great

PLEASE READ

My username on Wattpad is ThexxxDevilxxx as a recently I have not been able to publish any pieces of work and I’m unsure why. I miss being able to do so and I’m trying to find a way to get around it. I really like this app and I’m hoping that the writing feature comes back.

So many good MCR and Green Day fics.

I’ve read a handful of fics that have stuck with me for a few years and i love wattpad because of that plus the layout is easier than ao3 NO HATE towards ao3 btw😭

Pessimo suporte e sem ajuda

Suporte horrível e robótico. Minha conta foi suspensa por engano. Estou há mais de um mês tentando resolver, envio mensagens usando o email cadastrado correto e o robô do suporte fecha os tickets automaticamente alegando que não sou o dono da conta. O sistema de atendimento de vocês está quebrado! Completamente decepcionada com o aplicativo
