Wattpad - Read & Write Stories

I’ve had this app for over two years now, and I haven’t thought to write a review until now. It has so many amazing books, some have been published as actual books, some just written for fun. You can completely enjoy it with some short adds or you can pay for premium and get no adds and a few different features. I’ve had it for so long, and sadly can’t do premium, even though it is pretty inexpensive; but it’s still an amazing experience. There are also some stories that you have to use coins for, and you can buy coins or get three a day by watching videos, and each chapter is three coins. There are so many more books that are completely free though, so paying isn’t required at all. I also love having the comments on each paragraph of the story and being able to share my thoughts and read others opinions on the books. The one and only complaint that I have is that there isn’t a feature to like a comment on a book. I’ve seen a few people who have the same problem, we don’t want to comment on something, we just want to let them know that their comment made us laugh. It’s a very small complaint though, and it doesn’t affect the experience on Wattpad. All in all, this app is great for exploring books, and writing as well. It’s very easy write and publish chapters and books on the app. It’s perfect for writers who just want to have some fun or who want to explore an interest in writing. Would 100% recommend this to all book lovers and writers.

This is an awesome app to read stories and fanfics, but the one thing at the moment that I don’t like is the new limit to read offline without premium. I liked how before you could read any story offline, but you couldn’t update the new chapter, but it’s better then having a limite on stories to read and sometimes get to read the story if they did update a new chapter without internet. I would like it if wattpad were to take away the limitation on offline stories, for its better that way and I can read more when I’m on a business trip or on an airplane I can read lots of stories without limitations. I have had this app for maybe 2 years and I never had a complaint, but with the limited offline stories it had caused me some troubles, also once I was in a business trip and I went to read and there was no internet connection or anything. But I had my offline books and one of them updated, though the thing was I couldn’t read it and it told me I have to have an internet connection to upload the new chapter, which irritated me cause this was supposed to be an offline story that I can read without anything and after that I couldn’t read until 2 hours later once I got internet. In a couple of day I will be traveling and some parts of the place that I’m going does not have internet connection, but I want to still be able to read, but I can’t afford premium so I’m just asking please get rid of the limited offline books they’re troublesome.

I have been part of the wattpad family for 5 years, close to 6. It never glitches for me for those 5 years until recently. A couple months now. It just keeps crashing or freezing when I read so I have to close the app about 5-10 times a chapter. A chapter. A CHAPTER MAN. And thousands of users have complained for months and there’s still nothing to show for it. I know you guys are trying to fix it but these complaints have gone on for too long. You guys just recently decided to fix it because it’s starting to hurt your money. Premium users are leaving because of the crashes. Authors are not making as much money as they should have because even when they are not getting paid by the ads in their works, ads find their way into their story. Even normal users are leaving and going to platforms like Radish because the premium thing is actually kinda useless when majority of the users were there for the free books. The efficiency of the application where you can read on the go without internet. Can’t do that now. A free application without in-app payments attracts people who probably did not have the money or maybe even wifi or data, changing that after years of the app running for free is not really going to please majority almost 90% maybe more of your consumer. I love the application, don’t get me wrong but this whole thing with premium and bug-fixes that never really fixes anything significant (freezing crashing etc..) is equivalent to hurting your consumers and your reputation.
