Pocket Fiction

So I wrote a review back when this was first updated singing the praises of the app (praises well deserved before said update and for reasons that are technically still valid). The new ads, however, have completely ruined the experience I’ve had with this app. They’re invasive, constant, and have no cool down. So if you’re trying to go back in a story that has just been updated after a long hiatus because you can’t remember what happened and are just flicking through chapters to get a quick reminder, you WILL get an ad for every chapter you touch. It’s highly frustrating especially considering how fantastic this app used to be. There isn’t even a way to disable them. In the App Store it says there is an in app purchase available but I can’t find anywhere to do so. Please, please, please change how the ads work. Even just putting in a cool down would make it slightly better. (Preferably I would say change it back to a constant ad on the bottom, I genuinely didn’t mind that, but you probably changed it for some reason I don’t understand. So... yeah.)

Super convenient for readers on the go or who hang around places where WiFi is restricted. You can manage all of your FF stories and it will book mark where you stopped reading each of them. It also shows you a graph of who much of the story you have read, so you can see all ones you are up to date with or not as you scroll through the list. Problem is the ads that were recently added. They used to be pretty subtle as a banner at the bottom, but now you have to watch these short commercials for games when I just want to read. Putting game ads up when I’m already playing another mobile game is fine, but when I’m in a reading mood I don’t want to be bothered with game ads; it’s two different mentalities. Would you want an ad for a game to pop up in the middle of your ambient noise sleep aid? No.

I’ve used this app for years and have loved it [and would have been willing to give it 5 stars butttt]... The Ads are long videos that you can’t click out of right away. Whereas before it was just at the bottom of the screen. I use this app for the simplicity of it and would be willing to pay a one time fee to have a pro version with no Ads!!! Other suggestions: the ability to read and leave comments! I guess that would mean being able to connect your account too and lastly it would be really dope to be able to backup your list of stories. Every time I get a new phone I have to add each story over one-by-one

I love this app and I’ve used it for years. It’s been the main source for my fave tv show FanFiction. However, lately, I haven’t been able to search other shows. I always get a “no results found” warning, so it’s stuck on the last show I searched stories for. I also have trouble with returning back to the page I left off on. It just sends me back to the start of chapters which is especially annoying with chapters over 100 pages. Hope these problems can be fixed because it’s still one of the easiest apps for me to get my FanFiction on.

I’ve been using the app for a few years. I love it, but recently, it’s been acting weird. Whenever I want to search for a new story to add, it always says no results. Also, anytime I go in to read a story or a that I’ve already partially or completely finished, it always starts at the beginning. It’s supposed start whenever you left off. It gets very annoying if I’m partly through a very long chapter and it starts at the beginning. The app also keeps crashing
