Not loading

I have been using this for years and this has never happened before. It just keeps loading and I can read stories I have read before my the search and home page doesn’t work it just has a loading symbol. Also I have Internet connection that works because everything else I try and do works and it doesn’t work on my iPad either. Please may someone try and sort this out xx

My go to reading app

I have been using wattpad since I first got a phone in 5th grade. Thats 13 years now and it's my favorite app ever. When I get a new phone the first app I always download is wattpad. It's so easy to use and the amount of stories available is beyond amazing. Obviously there can be issues and glitches but I've never minded them. I pay for no adds and it's been the best decision I made. I prefer wattpad over any other reading apps and sometimes prefer it over actual books. I would recommend this app to anybody that likes to read. Wattpad is my guilty pleasure📖

Writer/reader

Definitely a must have app if you’re into reading stories from beginners or experienced writers!
I’m very happy with a lot of the apps functions, NOT A FAN OF THE ADS EVERY CHAPTER!
VERY ANNOYING!

Stop the ads!
🦠🧪🧫💉💊🧨💣🚬⚰️🪦🦠🧪🧫💉💊🧨💣🚬⚰️🪦

Please fix this issue as soon as possible

It’s not loading and when it does sometimes load I can’t read anything because it’s not loading the chapters of any story and when it does rarely load I can’t move on to the next chapter because it’s not loading. I can’t even see the notifications. It keeps giving the same error message. Please fix this as soon as possible. I’m waiting.
