Wattpad - Read & Write Stories Customer Service

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.

Alright, i’ve had this app since 2013 and let me start this review by saying it’s definitely not the same as the old version. the changes aren’t too bad, once you get used to the adds that pop up every so often when you’re reading a story. they can get annoying and more consistent the longer you read, but again, you get used to them after a while. if not, just pay for premium (i actually wouldn’t recommend getting premium unless you’re REALLY bothered by the adds). overall this app is great. if you want to write a story, it’s not hard trying to figure out what specific buttons you’ve got to press in order to pick your story’s cover, select tags, add a new chapter and so on. i do have to warn you though, the app is known to crash when you’re in the middle of writing a chapter and deleting all of that progress you made, so be careful with that. getting your story views isn’t that difficult either, unless you’re a new author but even then your story will eventually get viewers. wattpad’s also a great app to make friends and find mutuals too. over the years i’ve met a lot of nice people, and gotten myself more than a lot of followers. you don’t need followers though, you can simply use wattpad to read, find friends, or do your own thing. it doesn’t matter if you’re trying to find a story of a specific fandom/an original story, wattpad’s perfect to pass time. so yes, i recommend it, regardless of the few problems it has occasionally.

Okay so I’ve had this app since I was 11… yes young. Yes it has other… stuff. But I feel like that was what happened to a lot of youngsters. I’m really glad though that this app isn’t like tumblr. Tumblr has been introduced into r@pe story’s. And people like that… and those story’s are called dark romances. And the thing I really like about wattpad is the dark story’s. Are NO WHERE near tumblr. And coming from someone who was (accidentally) introduced to those story’s at 12-13 im really glad wattpad is way different. Yes it is inappropriate. But by the time kids reach 11-12 even 13 they know a lot more. And I’ve heard a lot of parents complain about kids reading this stuff. And the only thing they should actually be worried about is if the kid is ACTUALLY doing it. And from my source. Literally all wattpad readers are socially awkward and are virgins until they are like 20 (No judge) but again that’s from my view. And parents have really made it a big deal. Which if they are actually doing the stuff it is a big deal. Other than that it’s fine. Also I’ve had a really big deal about how this app is that toxic other than like tumblr. This app feels way more safe than tumblr. So If I do ever have kids. And they (above 13 at most) and are reading this I wouldn’t really mind it. So parents don’t make it a big deal. Kids are doing worser. But again I love this app truly. Read wattpad. And yes this isn’t really a review just a rant. (Sorry for misspelling errors!) ❤️

I use wattpad to read fanfics and then never disappoint me. i have had this app for over a year now and i love it. i read a story almost every night before i go to bed. another factor i would like to mention is that it has grown my love for reading. before i had wattpad i didn’t read at all. now that i got it i have started to gain a soft spot for reading and i can read much faster. yes there are ads but only after every so chapters. Therefore, it doesn’t effect your reading time really. like it’s not right in the middle of a chapter when an ad shows up. neither are they long ads. i think the longest an ad was that i had was about 40seconds which is a nice amount to time. and if you never had wattpad before then i would like to mention that there isn’t only fanfics. there are also really cool stories with endless categories. they scare from fluff to romance(they go further than that but young people don’t need to know that). and one last cool thing about the app is that all the stories are written by random people. they aren’t written by people like Will Hobbs or Mr. O’Brien(both famous authors) but they are written by a person that barely anyone know. and if you want to you can wright a story too. i myself haven’t written one but that is only because i don’t want to wright i’m more of a reader but anyway i think you should get this app. but just be ready for some really funny people on the comments of stories lol.

Ok listen is love love love this app but ever since the latest update it won't load my home screen doesn't allow me to see any new notifications won't let me comment and last but not least it doesn't say that any of my stories are posted! I don't know if it's just my account or what but I mean plz fix it. Like I said this is the best place if you want to read any stories! edit: it is now 2020 and i have come back to add a few more things. I have been on the wattpad platform for three, almost four years now, and when I say that things have changed, they've changed. Adds have been popping up constantly and it almost always asks if you want to buy premium every time you open the app. right now at least, it feels like wattpad doesn't care about its readers and writers anymore, but more so about the money they might bring with them. Another thing, the past few weeks i have been trying to open the app, but i'm met with a blank screen, or one that says the server could not connect, so eventually, i just got fed up and decided that I'm just going to delete the app and re download it so then it might fix the issue. it did not. Overall, wattpad has been my safe haven for the past few years, everyone has been absolutely wonderful to me, but you need to be careful, every story has horrible people that can come and absolutely ruin your writing career there, take it from a person who's seen their best friend, over 5.5k followers, drop off of the face of the earth because they angered a possy of people who relentlessly reported her account.

I love Wattpad so, so, so much and am even an author of a couple of books. I’ve been on this app for like four years now and it has made my life so much better and enjoyable. I love how in the library you can have as much books as you want and being able to comment on stories and to message authors and all the other stuff. Each update of Wattpad was better than be next. I love the most recent update because it makes everything look so organized but.... I have a concern. You see, before this update, I was able to access any book easily offline as long as it was in my library. But now, the new update only allows to have two books offline and it seems sort of unfair to me. I can still read but I don’t feel that much joy as I used to feel. To have more offline books, you have to have the premium plan and sadly, I cannot afford that as I already have to much things to take care up. With this review, I plead that you try to fix Wattpad as to get rid of only having two boos offline without premium to change so that Wattpad users are able to read any book on their library offline and to be able to see their updates. This is the concern I have to address. I hope someone sees this and is able to take my concern into consideration and fix Wattpad. For feedback from others, this pretty much is similar to what most of the Wattpad users that I know said when I asked them.

I got this app just about 2 years ago. And the way I found it was, I had broken my phone, and just gotten into the mcyt fandom, I had a kindle so I used that and searched ‘dnf’ and I found Wattpad. I had no idea what it was at the time, but when I started reading it, I couldn’t stop. I stayed up all night and the rest of the next day reading that story. When it ended I was sad. I wanted to read more stories like that. After a month I got my phone fixed and went onto the web. I searched Wattpad, and found this whole website full of stories. I spent hours upon days on that website. Only to find out you can download it. So of course I downloaded it. I made a account, and got to reading. Yeah, it might just be an app with books to someone. But to me, it’s my get away, my fantasy world, my home. Now, Wattpad is my most used app on my phone. I’m on their for about 12 hours a week. (I just checked my screen time for the past 7 days.... it said 12h and 21m for Wattpad) I’ve read over hundreds of stories, and don’t plan to stop anytime soon. And the best part about the app, is that the stories are from small authors, who had this idea for a story and decided to share it. And they decided to share it with me. So I guess, if you ask me if this app is any good, I’ll say “No. It’s the best.” (That was so friggen cheezy-) Moral of the story: Get it if your bored. | I FRICKEN LOVE YOU WATTPAD! MARRY MEEEEE!!!! 🧡🧡🧡

I have been reading in and fan of Wattpad for 4-5 years now and I have seen them go through major changes, some changes are fine with me but the current change is just upsetting. The moment I woke up in the morning and I went to check on Wattpad for updates in my library, but only to see that now we all have to pay to read offline which was shocking and terrifying to me. I feel like I won’t be able to be able to read anymore interesting stories written or shared by others for the sake of their passion or entertainment (especially while I am going to school using underground transportation). I feel like not being able to read some of our books offline is just a nightmare!!! I understand why Wattpad did the coin system and the ads, but getting rid of the offline reading is just a nightmare! Although, I also read when I have Wi-Fi at home and school and there would be ads which I don’t mind, but now when I am offline I won’t be able to access to my favorites while traveling underground (literally no service) then what? Maybe I should quit Wattpad for a long while and just focus on school which is getting more harder and stressful. Mind you, Wattpad is my source of stress reliever and happy times (plus it was my favorite reading app out of all the others I have experienced with), but now I will just steer clear from Wattpad. Who knows? I might just be back soon or later?

Wattpad is the best thing I have ever come across. I started reading stories in 2017, and now I’ve read more than 1,000 stories! I love the variety, and how all of them are unique. You just look something up and it’s always there! Although, there have been some times when I find some bugs. I’m not sure if it’s on purpose or it’s a real but but let me explain some. One of the bugs I come across is when I highlight something to comment, but when I try to highlight something, the highlight goes all the way to the bottom. I’m kind of mad at that, although it’s an easy fix since you can just scroll back up. Another bug I have come across is when I press the down arrow to look at all the chapters on the top of the screen. When I press it, it just puts me back to the first chapter. That is also an easy fix though, just leave the story, update to the position you were in, and reopen the story you were reading. The last bug I am aware of is when you press on a comment, and it doesn’t work. So you press it again, and when it finally works the comments are everywhere and it’s glitched. The comment one is common if you have bad Wi-Fi, but other then those bugs (That are pretty easy to fix), it’s a really good app. I use it a lot, and it really made me discover new words and actually get good at making stories. I don’t know why people hate the new updates, but I love them! I don’t care about ads, I’m just happy about the variety of stories! I don’t care about coins! Just read something else! Thank you Wattpad for making the app.

Off the bat, the app is amazing. I’ve had it for three years. Over the years, I’ve read amazing books and some that weren’t so amazing. I met some amazing authors and a few friends I didn’t know I would meet. It was an online library and hang out that I never knew I actually needed. My friends and I have all collaborated on stories or written each other nice messages on our message board. We all got to answer and write them, except me. I since then deleted the app and haven’t re-downloaded it until a few months back to see if I would get the email to verify my account and allow me to post messages or reply to messages on my board. Nothing. I tried changing my email to see if it was wrong or going to the help page the creators so kindly offered. I checked everything, did everything the help said. Still nothing. This has been going on for two months. TWO MONTHS and still nothing. I don’t understand if it’s just me or if others have experienced this. It’s getting very annoying to the point where I might cry of frustration because of how infuriating this gets. I am sick and tired of waiting and trying and repeating a whole cycle I shouldn’t have to repeat if it was that simple to fix a posible bug. Again, I don’t know if others experienced this or if it’s just me but I’m exhausted from waiting around almost an hour to see if the email got sent or not. Please fix this or at least read this review and say something to make me feel better.

I’m turning 20 in a couple days and I first downloaded Wattpad when I turned 10 on my birthday🥲😮‍💨I’ve had this app for 10 years now and I used to stay up allll night reading. I finished my first book ever on wattpad. It’s what got me into reading and writing my own books. I feel slowly wattpad has become an app that is more for authors than readers. I don’t want to put money on the app to buy wattpad coins to read the locked books, which are all the reallly good ones. But ofc I know they should make some type of profit, even if that means I can no longer read the books I love. But then there’s the ads..it’s annoying when your reading, eager to get to the next chapter, and have to stop and wait for the ad to end. To figure out what happens next, I’d just wait then continue reading, but the farther I get the more frequent the ads areee till they’re after ever chapter! I remember when in school I would do what ever I could to sneak and read on wattpad, and at home I would never come out my room and say it was because I was reading, just to avoid talking to people. It was my comfort place in a world I didn’t want to be in. Tbh idk if it’s weird that an app means this much to me but it really does. Some of these characters shaped the way I see myself and the type of life I choose to live. It’s still an amazing app, the community and friendship from this app makes it what it is and I believe it’s one of the best reading apps ever. But pleaseee no more changing ittt I’m begging😂

I love this app. Nobody in my family or friend group besides my cousin is in the same fandoms as I’m in (Percy Jackson), so it’s awesome to find people who like the same things I do! You can role play as your favorite characters if you find the right people, and write and read stories. I would recommend @_-TheOfficials-_ for Percy Jackson fans who would like to roleplay as their favorite character. Very few problems, although I would like more space for offline books. Like maybe 10 spaces. Writing is very simple, I do it on my phone with no problems. Reading is even simpler, just search what you want, and you’ll find plenty. Be careful with your email, I had problems with getting it activated so I could comment and follow and favorite things. It worked out in the end though! Just watch out for kids, 13 is the minimum age, not 17. And there’s little that parents can do about removing an account if the child is over 13 and not causing any problems. Parents, your best bet is to let your kid do his/her thing. Chances are, he/she is on here because nobody they know likes what they like. Just make sure they are not sharing personal information or anything, that’s a bad thing on ANY public site, not just Wattpad. But overall, this app is good for kids who love to read and write stories about their favorite books and movies, or anything in general.

I love this app so much. I use it daily, and have written somethings on it as well. Thought, I have a few suggestions. 1) A previous book library. We’re readers can look and see what books they have previously voted on. Therefore the chance of accidentally exiting out of a book without saving it to your library and then losing it decreases. you can have this be sorted from the chapter they have voted on. If a reader has voted on multiple chapters from the same book, the book would be listed and then the chapters voted on would be under when clicked on the said book. 2) if a reader has a book in their library that will be going to premium Wattpad (The paid side), they should get a weeks, if not months notice are they going to premium. Therefore if they are not paying for premium Wattpad, they can still read the book before it going and becoming a paid story. it gives the chance for readers who have read a book and really like it to read said book. That goes for books that readers are reading at the moment and go premium, they should also get a warning therefore if they don’t wake up one day and cannot finish reading the book that they’ve been reading as it’s now paid. other than those two suggestions, I absolutely love this app, and will forever keep using it.

I’ve had this app coming up two years, and it has definitely grown my love for reading. This is the first app I open when I wake up and the last one I open before I go to bed. I’ve probably read over 100 books, and I have over 12 in my library. Wattpad is probably my favorite app I have on my phone. However, I do find one thing troubling. As most people who have the app are aware of, if you do not save a book to your library, once you exit it out of it it is most likely lost forever. Now, I know this is probably not a big problem for people who know the title and other things about the book, but for people who sometimes choose a book just based on the description and do not look at the title (me), this poses an issue sometimes. I was reading a wonderful book a couple days ago, and I had gotten about 30 chapters in. I guess I had gotten so absorbed in the story that I had forgotten to save it to my library. Well, my family and I had traveled into the country, so we had no internet. When I opened up the app, a notification popped up that i needed WiFi to continue reading. I pressed dismiss. Long story short, it exited out of the book, and I can’t find it. I think it would be really helpful to have an option to look at a recently opened or recently looked at page where books that you had previously read but hadn’t been saved could be seen. This would be EXTREMELY helpful! Other than that, LOVE the app!

I’ve been on Wattpad for 3 years, and honestly I could say that it has changed my life. Before it, I had no way of reading new books. I never had the chance to go to the bookstore, or buy books. My mom would always be busy, or we didn’t have enough money. It was hard, but after finding Wattpad 3 years ago, I couldn’t be happier. I had a variety of new and exciting books to read, and even amateurs could write a book if they wanted to, which was amazing for me because I loved to write. It was great to have a place to write my stories and get better as a writer. Recently, I updated to an IPhone, and being on Wattpad has become a struggle. The app keeps freezing when I’m reading, or writing a story. I tried to deal with it because someone said they would fix it, but it March now, and nothing has changed. I don’t really mind the premium thing, I know you creators have to make your money, but Wattpad was originally a free app where people could read whatever without a hassle. We had equal options when being on the app, and money wasn’t something anyone needed to worry about. This app is and always will be my favorite app. I’ve discovered so many amazing books, I advanced somewhat in my writing, and coming from where I come from, this app has made me feel like I belong somewhere. It’s changed me as a person. When I need an escape, I know I can turn to Wattpad. This app is everything to me, and I really hope you guys could find time to fix this issue so I can continue reading uninterrupted.

I love wattpad, I’ve written stories, I’ve read good stories but the thing I can’t stand is wattpad moving things around, I use to be able to be able to just click on one of the bottom thing to either my library or my account but now I got to click a different button to get to my account? Why is wattpad moving things, adding/taking arm way things so often? They moved it with my library is now in the middle of my screen out of the group and it’s throwing my off every single time. Like I’m clicking on them trying to get onto my account and then I’m just like how the flip go I get on my account before I clicked a different button before I finally got on my account. I think this was new since it only appeared like that today so I’m not sure if it’s permanent but please stop doing that to us wattpad users, it annoys me at the least even if the others aren’t bothered a whole lot. I liked it how it use to be not like how it keeps changing every time I take my eyes off it for a second. Don’t get me wrong I still love wattpad, but with the changes it keeps going through annoys me and irritates me. So please stop with moving things around on wattpad, it only makes things harder to find depending on what it is we are looking for, like checking our account or something.

I will forever love this app because this is what got me to fall in love with reading books but I can’t help but to hate the new updates. The whole offline thing was (not trying to be mean) stupid to do. The fact that I’m limited to two books for the offline mode when i have no internet is crazy. I loved when we can still read all the books we had in our library without internet. I really wish y’all can get rid of it because that’s very annoying. The ads are way too long. Some ads are 5 seconds before you can skip but most ads are like almost 2MINS LONG!!! And sometimes I feel that the ads are now popping up after every other chapter. I don’t mind ads but it’s too much after awhile especially when I’m really getting into a book. I understand you guys made a premium thing for people to get rid of the ads and have more offline books but it’s not worth the $5.99 when you can just go back to the original way y’all had it. I feel like every update y’all make is getting worst and I feel bad for saying this but I’m actually not reading off of here as much which kills me cause I really do love this app. But, if y’all keep making this an ad competition and keep the whole offline thing you might lose a reader off of this app. Hopefully y’all will read our complaints and keep it under consideration

I use to love Wattpad. I got on it everyday to read for the last 5 years. Recently there have been some awful updates that makes the app a headache to deal with. I can handle the adds. I understand that’s how free apps make money. I was upset about the coin thing and having to pay to finish reading some of my favorite stories. Though I do understand why some authors would want to get paid for writing their books, so I looked past it and continued using this app because I loved it so much. But now we have to pay to read offline?! That’s outrageous!! I fear this app is all about making a profit out of everything now! It’s not about the people’s enjoyment anymore. You could get premium and have all of that go away but, you guessed it, it costs money! More and more people are dropping this app because of these awful changes being made. And I’m fed up with opening the app and seeing more things we have to pay for. What’s next? We have to pay to write our own stories? I’m lucky that I have service at my house, but some people aren’t so lucky. I’m sorry to those people, and to those who uses reading as an escape to what they’re going through. I will continue using this app because there still are some good books I would like to read, but I’m not nearly as in love with this app as I was 5 years ago.

I have loved using Wattpad for the last five years. I have seen it change a lot overtime, and even with updates I didn’t particularly love I was still always glad that they never really changed the basic things you can do on the app. I didn’t mind at all when they added payed features into the app because the basic things you needed to use Wattpad remained free for those who couldn’t buy premium. However, the recent update limiting your ability to read stories offline was definitely a poor choice. I have always been able to read Wattpad when I wasn’t connected to WiFi, but today when I was attempting to check comments /on my own story/ I was told that I couldn’t view the book because I wasn’t online. I could maybe have been a little understanding if it was someone else’s story(although I certainly wouldn’t have been happy then either), but for me to not be able to check my comments while I’m not connected to WiFi on my own book is frustrating. I’m not even able to add my own book to my library, which means it isn’t possible for me to make it one that I can access online. On top of that you can only have a certain amount of books you can access online, which means that with how many books I have it wouldn’t even matter if I could. Wattpad is a great app overall but I definitely think they need to change this back. It is not an update that is going to make anyone happy, and it’s not going to make me want to buy Premium either. All it does is make me frustrated with the app. I know that other people also agree with me on this, so I hope to see it go back to the way it was before soon. Overall Wattpad is a good app, but this was a poor choice.

This app has everything for a reader or writers needs!! You can write all your stories, with as many chapters as you want!! You can also create your own cover for your book as well. The writing portion of the app is very simple to use. With the ability to add videos or pictures at the top of each chapter, you can give the readers a better picture of your story, and they have the tools you see on any writing software. From which side you want to write on, to italics, bold, or underlined. For the readers, there are many genres to choose from!! Fantasy, Fanfiction, etc. it your choice. you can also change the font style, color of the page and, size of the font for you various needs. You also have a personal library that no one can see except you! So you can organize your books in any way, but, when you read a book it appears at the top of your library as your recently read. You can also make reading lists on your profile for others to enjoy. If a book isn’t finished writing, the notifications for when the author updated the book, are straight forward, they tell you when they updated and what chapter they updated, so you don’t have to look or reread to make sure your not reading the same chapter twice. I love this app, and I hope if you haven’t tried it, you should!!!

Okay, so I been on Wattpad maybe a year or so and I love it really. My stories are getting noticed, votes, reads and comments are amazing on them. There’s just one problem and I’m not sure if it’s a glitch on the app or something wrong on my end. But, I ended up asking my readers how they came upon my book and they said that it was number one on one of the tags. I was excited that my book was ranked (first book of mine that was) so I went to the tag to see if my story showed up and to my surprise it didn’t. I was confused as to why, so I made another account and did the same thing going to the tag and my story showed up. I clicked on it and say all my rankings on it. I was confused as to why none of the rankings show up when I’m on my actually account. Instead it just shows how many parts I have and nothing else after that. I’m not sure why that happens and I honestly don’t like going on another account to see my rankings when I should be able to see it on my account. I hope y’all can help with that since I’m really confused and would love to see my own rankings. Also, I would love to know if your book can show up whenever you search in that particular tag or it’ll only show on other people accounts. I hope y’all read this and help me out as soon as possible. Thank you....

I love this app and I have been on Wattpad for many years and the fact that it was a free reading app was what attracted me but now after years I’ve been on this app and then like I go to read the story that I love then I realize that the chapters are unavailable because I have to pay for them now because apparently they have paid stories. You know that wasn’t like too much of a big deal for me but if I have been reading this book since the author came out with it and now I’m almost done with the book but then I realize that I have to pay for it, I have a problem with that but the thing that really makes me mad what happened was when Wattpad started having premium so now I have to pay to remove ads that I didn’t even have before and now I have a limit to how many books I can read offline when I used to be able to use read off-line books without having to pay for it to download it you know not everybody can afford to have Wattpad premium like who wants to pay for premium on app that was initially supposed to be 100% free in the first place. Wattpad used to be free honey I’m not going to buy a Wattpad premium account I don’t have enough money for that, the main reason I started a Wattpad account years ago was so I could read and create for free😑👎🏾

So, I absolutely love this app and how great it is at letting you create your own stories while being free and open to any topic a writer wants to write. You can also read so many stories that people make and it lets people actually pay writers so they can make a living. Plus, you can find almost any genre in this app from horror to fantasy to Non-Fiction! You can also write books that are showed to certain people of different ages and has a Mature rating so little kids don’t accidentally go on inappropriate stuff. It is good for all ages and makes sure there isn’t bad stuff in a book and is overall fun to look through and to connect to people and how they write. It also helps you improve in writing and planning out stories. There’s just one small bug with the dark mode and writing. Sometimes when I write the color of the text goes back to black, and I can’t see it which makes it difficult to keep my writing flow. It of course disappears when I click out and go back in but if you could fix this it would be great! Oh, and another thing, I think it would be really cool if we could share stories and write them with other accounts. It would be easier than a google doc and it would be a lot more fun!

I’ve had this app for over 3 years now and it had really helped me on my journey of writing. I’ve met some amazing people on there and have read just as amazing books. As much as I love this app, recently whenever I click on the app it shows just a blank black screen. No matter how many times I exit and reopen the app or come back a few hours later I can’t get access to the app. It’s been happening for a while and it might just be my phone acting up but my phone isn’t one to have problems like that and is a newer model that should be able to handle wattpad. I have to delete the app and then redownload it just so that I can read a bit off the app, only to keep repeating that every time I want to get on to wattpad. Wattpad used to be my main source of entertainment but now since I can’t access it properly it has slowly gone down my list of things to do on my phone. This might just be a personal problem with my phone or something but I just wanted to share it in case others relate. Overall this app is amazing and has a lovely community. Everyone is normally very funny and if you find the right community of writers and readers you will fit right in. I totally recommend people to get the app and expect to be sucked in by the sheer power of its words and community.

Super creative, and very unexpected formatting but if you really think on it, writing in the storytelling format is just so... Wattpad! I do like the app, it’s a cool place to sate my werewolf/vampire thirst for rom coms. It’s also a great place for new authors. With that comes some challenges for both writers and readers. As a reader there are some stories that might have too many spelling errors, but I don’t really mind those. There are stories that might be more of a rough draft but it’s nice to see creativity in process. Probably the worst thing as reader is to fall in love with a story only to be left on a cliff hanger and never find a landing because the story is never to be finished. Oh well, there are pit falls here and there but you can’t always catch a muse when you need to. The one thing that I know is a problem for writers is that sometimes their stories get stolen which is very heartbreaking for both parties. But this is such an amazing world to share ideas and I truly love a lot of these stories. I know for a fact that some stories take a life of its own and get turned into a book- a big score for the whole community! Anyway, thank you to all creatives who created this app and all the Authors and readers for making this place such a magical place!

Okay so I love Wattpad and I’ve been using this app over 2 years and I think it’s great, honestly one of my complaints that I got that has a real solution is the process of writing a new chapter. It just gives you a blank page with nothing new so I’ve thought about a way to kinda “organize” it. Whenever I’m writing something, I take in mental notes, and those mental notes sometimes go away and I forget it so I have to reread what I’ve written in order to try and remember what I’ve thought about earlier. A way to fix this issue is to add a feature where u can write small post it notes (kinda like the one Apple has as gadgets) and stick it on the page where you’re writing. This could be helpful in MANY ways, such as: remembering what POV you’re writing, reminding you to add important scenes later on, introducing a new character, jotting down ideas and thoughts that come to mind etc. This feature could honestly save many lives (including ur app) and make Wattpad more organized and clean. (Of coarse when u publish that same chapter with the notes, the notes wont be visible to the readers and only will be seen by the author when they are in edit mode) Hope u take my ideas into consideration and hope u read this review with an open mind UwU

I’ve been using Wattpad for years now, I love it quite a bit but there is one problem that I’m not sure has been brought up yet. Every once in a while, when trying to skip over chapters using the chapter feature, ads don’t load after several times, when I try to skip over while this is happening the chapters either go back to the one I was at previously or move to the next chapter (usually not the one I wanted to read). It gets even worse as your premium ad won’t ever close unless I close the app, I’ve had it pop up about five times, and every single time I’ve gotten it (usually after another ad that took forever to load) it’s been stuck open, as if the x button at the top doesn’t work even after 30 seconds. I’m not sure if it is a phone problem but I’m using a new phone and still it won’t close, sometimes if ads can’t load, the ad pops up for a second after I skip a chapter manually then the pop up link acts as if I had hit it. I love Wattpad but I’d rather not upgrade to premium just to fix two minor problems that I know can be fixed easily (I hope, I’m no programmer). I hope I’m not the only one facing these problems so that way you can get a better sense of what might be the issue. Thanks for reading!

I seriously love this app so much! It organizes your stories, and you get to import pictures for you cover and chapters. It is really easy to control, and you can pick hashtags for your book, genres, etc. In this app not only you can publish a book, but you can also find a book you want to read. About anything you search, results will pop up for it. And, the best part is, it’s free! Also, I just hope you get this app. Considering it isn’t even enough, you should definitely try it out. There may be some flaws that you don’t like, but overall this is really worth it! Maybe if you do want something else, you could try google docs. The only things that I don’t suggest doing on google docs if you were to get the app, is that you can’t keep your stories in folders, but in watt pad you can! It sorts it by stories, and it’s just so easy! By the way, I’m not just hating on google docs because it does and has some things I don’t like, I genuinely love that app too. I just like watt pad a lot, and I think you should get it. And finally, I just want to conclude that watt pad is a great app. It’s worth checking out, even if you don’t prefer it. I hope you enjoyed reading this and this review wasn't for nothing! 👌✌️❤️😁😄

Ok I've had this app for so long and it's really good but I noticed somethings I would change about it. So one on your message board Iy would be nice to edit a post, like if there where typos you would be able to edit it, this would be a good future to have. Another thing regarding the message board, it would be nice to clock people from commenting on your message board (such as rude comments) because having to delete them is getting tiring if there just going to keep posting rude things, so blocking them from ever saying anything rude would be good. Another thing, it would be nice to have the books labeled in your library A-Z I think it would be a good future and easy to find books, like if you didn't remember the full name but the first letter of the book you read. I also would think it would be a nice future that when privately messaging somone you could send them pictures of other things instead of just book links and etc, it's would just be a nice future to share with a friend who's only way of texting you is through Wattpad, other than that it's a wonderful app, love all the books and seeing all the authors who have potential to be an author one day or have there own movie!

I have been on this app for 4 years this has been my favorite app to read books. I read all different type of books on here and I love them all. But this app has become something that is a money hungry. It now gives you only 2 offline reading books and to have unlimited you have to pay for it, and I don’t appreciate that. This app use to be free period, I don’t care that you there are books on here that cost, because they are good books and deserve the recognition but if your gonna have me pay to have an unlimited supply of unlimited offline books that is insane. I want an unlimited number of books offline because o can’t always be online, and have multiple books to choose from while I’m off is so convenient for me. Now I can’t have that and if I can’t have that I won’t be even able to use the app as much. I don’t have the money to pay for all of that, even if it’s not that much so you need to fix this or don’t. But just know that I can’t use this app that often if I can only have 2 books to read offline. And there is not just me so if people stop using this app as often because of this then this app won’t be as popular. And please don’t get me wrong I love this app there such a variety of people making a different variety of books, it’s great. But you get my point.

Its amazing i love this app but the new aesthetic is horrible. everything is so much darker and modern. bring back the old wattpad design it was vintage and cute.

Once again there’s an ad at the bottom of the the page. Why get rid of it if you were just gonna add it back. 🙄

Dream Not Found Content :D

The app is good I love it and I’ve been using for a long time but the new update is horrible. The fact that you have to pay just to read more then two stories online is so dumb and stupid because the it’s all about money like what? Bring back old Wattpad cause this sucks

The bible app is free.

Im just a sad gurl who needs to read about my non existent love life and if you’re the same, this app is for you 😙✌️

I’m trying read a story and I get redirected to safari saying I’m hacked??? I go back to Wattpad try and open another story get redirected again??? Help??? Wattpad are you hacked???????

The quality of the stories can be less than excellent sometimes, but the posting and reading interfaces are excellent. Follow me @toadsfics for anime fanfictions :) I’ll be posting a few soon!

I would gladly give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ IF I didn’t have to scroll to find my place every time I leave the app or my screen turns off. Why would a reading/book app not hold your place and refresh to the beginning of the chapter every single time your screen turns off or you answer a call or text? Or sometimes I will look up to talk to someone and look back down and there I am back to the top of the chapter. I have the premium and paid for a full year in advance in hopes that this would correct the problem. The only thing I’ve found that helps to find my place more quickly is to highlight all of the text on the screen so when I’m scrolling to find my place I can easily find the highlighted text and I don’t have to read the beginning of 20 paragraphs but that only helps if I have the opportunity to highlight the text beforehand. This would be similar to reading a book and getting halfway thru or almost done with a chapter but putting your bookmark at page one of a chapter. Like, seriously, only a psycho would do that. I’ve even tried clicking on the comment button before leaving the screen to see if it would help me keep my place but that doesn’t work either. I’ve also tried adjusting app settings like background app refresh and still the problem persists. I read thru many reviews but I haven’t found any other complaints like mine so maybe I’m doing something wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️ but it definitely has my knickers in a bunch. So much so that everyone in my household knows how annoying this problem is.

The app is great! I love it! Right off of the bat, that is. It seems like a space to read and write safely, but that is most definitely not it. I have been reading multiple stories of others and my own writing with horrible people reading as well. That doesn’t make for a pleasant experience. On one of the books that I was actually looking forward to reading, the author had taken it down because cyber bullying and very, very disrespectful behavior was taking place. I’m not sure if Wattpad approves of the message their sending out by not handling the problem, but their basically saying to us wittiest right now that we write for them and give them a home base of books to harbor for their own and push others aside. It’s getting very much annoying reading a book and having to type out a paragraph to a person or author about how their behavior was and how this could be someone’s safe place. If Wattpad was truly, truly a safe space, I’m quite sure it’s our database of people wouldn’t continue to allow what is happeneinng. But they are. That’s the difference. They act like they don’t care, and to be quite honest, I’ve been thinking of leaving for a while. This might just fuel my decision more. Also, whenever I go to sign in, almost every time it tells me my password is wrong, and I’ll reset it. Still wrong, and I don’t know how. I’m not sure if this is a problem someone else has, or just me, but I’m sick and tired of going to through the same process over and over again with the same result.

So I’ve reading on Wattpad for many years actually, and I really love the app the thought of having all these entertaining stories. And I really get that you’re trying to develop the app and give the amazing writer on it credit so you made paid stories and that’s fine , the adds were fine too. But making the offline stories only with a premium now that’s not right, I always read online at home but when I’m in on the road a lot of times I don’t really have anything but my favorite stories with me so I don’t actually get the idea of why making such a lovely app has those many complaints now I’m sorry to say that but if the app will be like this then I don’t get what’s the point of it being free it’s no different from any other app then like radish for example but it’s your call guys but I’m not gonna just torture myself by keeping the app and not being able yo enjoy my stories when I’m out. I just deleted my app and I’m only writing this for your benefit as I don’t want such an amazing app that was a lot of people’s favorite to be hated suddenly I’m only saying this after hearing the same opinion from a lot of people and many of them actually deleted the app saying that it’s worth it any more and that you guys are now only caring for money like all the other apps without any concern for your faithful readers like you used to before. I hope you got my point in writing this , I’m not trying to be rude or anything, I’m just trying to tell you honestly what the new update reactions.

Wattpad has been on every handheld device I’ve owned since I created an account five years ago. I can honestly say that this app was my favorite app hands down until recently. Yes, I still love and use Wattpad but I don’t spend nearly as much time reading on there as I used to. This is due to the ads and the update with premium accounts. I don’t mind ads at all as that is how apps are kept free but it seems like I get an ad after every single chapter and I’m constantly asked to go premium. With the change of the logo recently as well, I feel Wattpad is in a different place than it was when I joined 5 years ago but not in a good way. We need to move forward but not so much so that it becomes an entirely different thing. There have always been ads and I don’t expect ads to be wiped out completely but it is ridiculous how often they pop up, I also find it quite obnoxious that I am asked to go premium every single time I open the app. It is safe to say that Wattpad has become more of a money making operation than one that values its writers and readers. I don’t think it is much to ask to reduce the amount of ads a little bit and try to make the app about the people using it again. I’m still going to use this app but I have resorted to other FanFiction websites and apps as it is not nearly as enjoyable as it used to be. I do hope you can take both our opinions into consideration more directly. Thank you.

I had Wattpad for 5 years and I love this app because it allowed people to create their story and share it with everyone for free. When I first got the app I remembered I could read any book without having to watch ads in order to go to the next chapter. Then they updated the app where you had to watch ads sometimes which isn’t a big deal and I got use to it after a while. But now you have to pay to read some books. I have to avoid those books which is a shame because when I read the summary of them I can tell that it will be good. I now have to look in the summary to see if the book will require you to pay to read it. I don’t have money to spend freely on things I would like to have, that’s why I got this app. But now a lot of books that I start to read and get invested in don’t say in their summary that you have to pay to finish the book. So I go and start reading the book and get a surprise of a page telling I have to get coins to finish reading The reasons so many people love this app is because it allowed people to read books for free and to see that it is slowly becoming an app where you have to pay to read makes me really sad because I truly love this app and the books people have created on it. But I just know that it will keep updating where you have to pay for every book and I will have to get rid of this app because I don’t have money to spend to buy the book. I really hope this app won’t require all books to be payed for because I know a lot of people like me who can’t afford it will have to stop using this app.

Wattpad basically got its start being for small time authors / fanfic authors. They’re now becoming a wannabe publishing company which I had no qualms with; However, they’ve taken it upon themselves to delete all direct messages and for what?? I’ve been writing on wattpad since I was 13 and I’m 22 now. I used to receive messages all the time about how my readers love my books and want me to publish them and they honestly gave me so much motivation. I loved being able to connect with my readers. But wattpad has now not only taken away direct messaging, but they deleted ALL old messages which is completely unfair. All that motivation is gone, years worth of it. I understand it may be because of big time writers recieving a plethora of DMs from readers but they should’ve just had a disable direct message option. To take away something like this that means a lot to a lot of writers is awful. They’re shunning the people who gave this app leverage in the first place and only supporting authors with millions of reads. Not to mention all the ads. It used to be advertised as ad free, which I understand needing ads. What makes me upset is that I have to watch ads ON MY OWN WORK. I can’t even transfer my work to a doc without going through 2 ads every chapter. I never write reviews but wattpad has not been doing their writers well (unless they have a contract with one 🙄). I only gave an extra star for nostalgia sake.

I always look forward to going to wattpad every day to read and write. I currently have a book published and another one in the works. This app is great, except for one thing. I don’t know if it is a glitch or if it is supposed to happen, but everyone’s message board posts blow up my notifications. At first I didn’t mind it, thinking it was just a glitch and in the next few days it would be fixed and everything would go back to normal. But now, I think it’s been doing this for maybe a month (I actually don’t really know). All the message board notifications have been preventing me from seeing comments and votes on my actual story and updates from my favorite stories. This really bothers me. I put a new story out about three weeks ago, and it has a very low number of votes and comments compared to my other story. I honestly don’t know if it is all the message board notifications or if everybody is less active because school has started again. Even I have ignored all of my notifications some days because I didn’t want to go through the thousands of notifications just from people posting on their own message boards. So I’m wondering if other people are doing the same as me and ignoring it overall, leading them to not reading and commenting as they used to... I’m definitely not saying I’m thirsty for votes, but this even prevents me from reading. Thank you for reading, I hope it made sense...!

I’ve had Wattpad for about 3 years and I haven’t had any problems about the app. The stories are amazing and there are so many amazing writers. Until August 11-12, something creepy had been happening. While I was reading a story, I’ve noticed that a sound was coming from my phone, as if an add was playing, but the thing is the add wasn’t even showing in the first place so I thought that was pretty weird. Later at 1 am while I was reading the sounds happened again, but it didn’t sound like an add in any way. It was the sound of some woman talking say “hello, how are you”, then she wouldn’t talk, but all you can hear is a thumping noise. Then she repeated those same words a second time. I started to freak out so I turned my phone off, but SHE WAS STILL TALKING. I don’t even know how that is possible because my phone wasn’t even on, but the sound was still playing. This doesn’t even happen to other apps that I’m on, it’s only on Wattpad. I’m absolutely scared. My hands are shaking while I’m writing this and my sister is telling me to delete it, but I have so many wonderful stories to read on there that I don’t want to delete it. She thinks someone is trying to break into my phone and if that’s so I want to get rid of my phone cause that was the scariest thing ever. Someone please help me. I’ll try to see if it’ll happen again and if I does I’m going to have to delete the app, which makes me so sad. I don’t know if it’s the app or my phone, but I don’t ever want this to happen again.

I’m only rating it so low because of the ads on the bottom of the screen… This company DOES NOT listen to the readers and it annoying. How hard is it to just listen to the people who are on the app everyday and supporting them! I’m sure you guys have already seen the dislike on having the ads at the bottom of the screen while people are reading. I had them for a while maybe a month or so ago and then they went away and I was happy that Wattpad took in the concerns of the readers seriously but they are back again… I’m sure myself including others would appreciate if Wattpad as a company would listen to the people who go on their app everyday. We do not like the ads at the bottom of the screen, it spoils reading and it’s annoying. Personally I’m fine ads being in between each chapter. But to have them at the bottom is so obnoxious. I really don’t want to leave this app because I’ve been using it for many years. But Wattpad as a company have problems listening to the consumers and their concerns and honestly that not very good if you want people to still use your app. All I’m asking is for Wattpad to consider listening to the readers and just stick to the ads after the chapters, I’m not the only one who hates this feature. Many have express the dislike of it on Twitter and I have not since Wattpad address the concerns and it’s disappointing. Please reconsider taking away the ads at the bottom of the screen, thank you.

The new update is horrible. I’ve been using Wattpad for almost 5 years now and not once did I have to buy something to read a book. It used to be a free app that you could just read free books that random people from all over the place have written but now I have to buy wattpad coins so I can read a story that’s been completed or I have to wait 3 months before I can read it. What sense does that make. I understand completely that you are supporting your writers but what about the readers? Some people just look for an app that allows you to read for free without having to buy anything or waiting until it is free. Wattpad has been the only place that I have found that allows you to do that and now you have to buy coins or wait 3 months to read. I used to love Wattpad and now I don’t even want to read anymore because of this. It’s hard to find a good book, but now it’s even harder to find a book that you have to pay for after already reading a certain amount of chapters just to be disappointed with a not that says you need to wait 3 months before you can continue reading and then to also find out that you have to pay to continue as well. Why would I do that when before I could just continue reading and not have to worry about ads or paying to read. This app has only gone down hill, the ads and now having to pay for something you shouldn’t have pay for. Reading is something that you shouldn’t have to pay for at all. (Update) The whole available offline thing is so weird and the layout makes things look complicated. Why can’t all the books be available offline like they used to be?

Okay, don’t get me wrong, I understand that to keep Wattpad free for the people who don’t have the money to become a premium member there’s gonna be ads, but the ads that pop up in the middle of every other chapter is VERY annoying. I have been using Wattpad for about 6 years now, it’s by far one of my favorite apps (well it used to be but i’ll get to that in a second): it’s a platform that allows me and others to express our creativity and love for writing and holds some pretty interesting reads that sometimes seem like I should be paying for them... Though at this point, I guess I am with all these ads they throw in my face any chance they get. I was surprised – to say the least – when I opened the app after an update awhile back and seen an ad on the homepage. I was fine with it, of course, because it’s not like it hindered my reading experience, but now the ads have hindered my reading experience. I literally can’t go two chapters without a freaking ad popping up and making me wait 5 seconds until I can move on to the next chapter. It’s ridiculous. Wattpad has obviously fell into the same cycle as every other app that started off ad free. Now they overdo them because all they care about is the money. I still enjoy the app, I just wish they would do something about the ads in the middle of every other chapter, at least make them few and far between. Otherwise, it’s an extremely good app that i’ve enjoyed for many years.

I have loved Wattpad the website and app for four years now. Through those four years, I have seen the app become more advanced, the community grow, and some of my favorite authors mature. I am so thankful that Wattpad was developed to allow this community to nurture authors that do need that place to mature their writing or may not be ready to be a full time author, but have this AWESOME idea that needs to be shared with the world. While Wattpad offers lots of great opportunities, it has taken a few steps back as well. Though some aspects of the app are advanced, it is not uncommon for the app to complete shut down. If you happened to be in the middle of a book that you haven’t added to your library, it’s gone. I understand that with some of the advancements, it takes money. However, the ads on the app have become obnoxious and plague your reading time. Though you may be half way through a chapter, a video add will play, and there is no way to opt out. The new feature now allows you to subscribe to ‘ad-free’ reading. This irritates me because I have been a strong supported of Wattpad for 4 years and now I have to pay money in order to enjoy reading works from unpublished authors. UNPUBLISHED! What is the purpose of having this forum to exchange ideas if those who are meant to enjoy it, have to pay or suffer through an ad every 5 minutes? I will probably pay for the ad-free feature, but it is grudgingly. The free exchange of ideas and stories is no longer what it used to be.

Hey Wattpad, I’ve been a user of this app for a very long time. At least three years if not longer. It’s probably one of the better apps for getting new authors to the front of the scenes, and encouraging new writers to be born and try their hand at something new. However this app is soooo discouraging when you’re unable to pay the monthly fee. I get it, advertising helps pay for those who can’t pay the monthly fee but honestly are you suffering that much??? When I use the listening feature, I get an ad like every minute and then to change the chapter I have to watch another ad. Are you serious?? So many people pay the fee because you make it utterly ridiculous if you don’t pay, so I know you don’t NEED that many ads. I currently can’t afford to pay the monthly fee, so I’m having to endure your abundance of ads. You must just be lining your greedy pockets! I get the need for an ad or two at the end of a chapter (tho that’s annoying I can understand it) but to have another ad playing in the listening aid every minute on top of that! May karma return to you your overabundant use of ads!! May you catch every red light. May you have to stop for ducklings crossing the street, or a herd of elk on the freeway. May your coffee machines trickle out at a snails pace. May your clocks forget how to count seconds. May every appointment forget your existence and force you to wait extra time. If I must learn patience then so shall you! May the odds be ever in your favor

This app has literally no search engine. You can search by randomly suggested tags, all of which are geared towards 12 year olds, and you can’t search for a specific fandom… how difficult is it to allow people to search for what they want to search for..? Custom searches, filter by fandom, then by tags, then by characters, rating, etc… this is not a new concept. Of course, if you want to read random stories about random nonsense and enjoy wasting your time, this is the app for you! Also food luck finding a story about the topic you want to read about with TTS functionality. I’ve been using a different fanfiction app for over 2 years that has an infinitely variable search function, universal TTS on all English stories, and you can actually read what you’re interested in and save unlimited stories, all without ads or subscriptions or paying any money whatsoever, but the recent iOS 16 update broke something with the TTS language recognition and I was tired of waiting for them to update, but after seeing the alternative I’m going to go buy some audiobooks to listen to. In a marketplace with actual filtering ability.. as search functionality.. Why is this paid when basic QOL UI features aren’t intelligently implemented? Where’s the funding going if not toward making this the best fanfiction app out there. Makes no sense. Huge scam designed to rob teenagers that don’t know any better and get lured by popular topics.

There are many things I love about this app, but I feel like there are so many things that could and should be better. For instance, the search filters. On websites like A03, you can search for particular genres, word counts, characters, and many more. The search filters feel incomplete. All wattpad has is the amount of chapters (which can be misleading because many people write short stories with many chapters but not a lot of words), when it was updated, and if it’s complete or not. It’s hard to find a particular type of story if you can’t search for things like word count. Another thing is the constant requests to buy premium. I had wattpad before they turned into a greedy money-making company, and it was so much better than the current version. There used to not be constant pop-ups to spend a ridiculous amount of money to go ad free and read a few paid stories. On top of that, they reduced the amount of stories you can read offline. If you had a book loaded previously, you could read it offline and you could do this for many books. Then they reduced that amount to three, then to two. I just wish they didn’t shove the premium ads in your face so much. The search feature is what really needs improvement, though. I want to be able to find stories of a particular type and cannot do that at the moment because of the insufficient searching filters.

I had this app for the first time back in 2014, it was the best thing. It was awesome, no adds, no payments, and no need for premium. I started reading stories that I fell in love with, they were so good that I re read them for all six years that have past. Now they are eliminating stories and author’s profiles without warning. Some of this authors actually put an effort to create the stories, and they just got erased like if they where nothing. The stories I have been reading for six years got erased, their was nothing wrong with them, actually they where awesome. The app says is doing this because they violated contend guidelines and other stupid things, I get it, but the authors didn’t even got a warning to save their stories, that is rude. Some of them actually have putted their effort for years. The age on the app says 17+, and the stories have the option to put if it has mature content . Is stupid that the author get punished for writing stories and not even getting a “flag” telling them that some content that they have is violating the guidelines. I’m an author too, and I won’t put my content (don’t care if my content does not violate their guidelines) in a app that just erases work with no warning, like if it was trash. So, sorry Wattpad, this six years where fun, until now...I pack my bags and head out to look for another place to read and put stories.

I genuinely loved this app. It was always fun to read cool and interesting stories that completely captivated me and had me not putting my phone down until i figured out what was going to happen next. It was always fun to find new and upcoming authors just trying to find a community to write with. Follow along with their stories and see how they grow. Everything was free to read so the possibilities were endless to find books. And there is so much more that i use to love. But as of late I don’t know what you are doing wattpad but it honestly isn’t helping it’s making things worse. Wattpad doesn’t need to be better it was a great app and an amazing place to be. But whatever the creators are trying to make it now is not working for anyone. I truly and sincerely am sad about the amount of books and fanfics that have been deleted and removed from wattpad in only a days time. Honestly my review should be lower at this point. I hope wattpad that this review tells you to STOP doing whatever you are doing. Stop trying to change the community. Leave us be! We were all fine before you came in deciding what was good for only you nobody agreed with this. PLEASE STOPPP! My review for this app USE to be a 5 stars hands down! And maybe one day if I get the old wattpad back it’ll go back to 5 stars but for now 2 and less is my rating. Don’t download this app right now until wattpad gets it together.

Wattpad was fun for a good year for me until they started updating the app in ways that screwed up literally everything. The ads glitch a lot and I have to restart the app just to continue reading (which might be on purpose to force us to buy premium now). The fact that premium even exists is a huge slap in the face to previous users who enjoyed the freedom of reading and creativity without a corporation putting a monetary value on it. Really feeling that support. The conversations area on the profile has been the worst honestly, especially for me who updates my followers by posting messages in conversations. There is 3-message per day limit that can notify followers, and the rest you just have to hope that your small amount of following that you have will check your profile at some point and see that you posted something. They also recently put a limit to how much you can write in conversations posts, and I have no idea what the limit is. All I got was a message saying I passed the limit and then the entire message that I wrote was yeeted into oblivion. It wasn’t even as long as some other ones I’ve written are, so that’s how I know it’s a relatively new update. It doesn’t even make any sense. My point is that Wattpad just keeps putting more and more restrictions on what’s supposed to be an app that supports creativity and community. It’s almost not even worth it anymore to be there because I’m scared about what they’ll limit next.

I used to love Wattpad. And I understand that they are trying to support writers and I think that’s very important, but it seems that lately everything that Wattpad was when I originally downloaded the app has gone in favour of money. I used this app because I could escape and not worry about money issues. Now, everything that I am interested in reading is denied to me because I can’t afford coins. And I know that there are still free books, but the way that they choose which books are free is if they’re not the best books- anything that gets any attention gets monetized. So the things with writing that doesn’t appeal to everyone or books that aren’t very popular don’t get any support, but the ones that are crazy popular and could probably be published in hard copy format cost money that not all of us can afford. Bring back the add format- Writers still got support, but no one is asked to spend money that they don’t have. The Wattpad beta program is awful. If I could give negative stars, I would.

Are you kidding me? I used to use Wattpad to read my favourite stories on the bus but now I can’t even do that because I need data to that, the whole reason I downloaded wattpad was so that I could read stories by different people anywhere without wifi, I didn’t need to add them to my offline mode or anything, and another thing why is there only TWO slots in my offline library? Like what is with that? Bring back the regular offline library where I didn’t have to pay money just to read a fan fiction on the bus!

Wattpad is good. But there's this weird glitch where I'd suddenly loose my place in a book I'm reading and I'd have to find where I was reading. Like, I'd go on wattpad and when I press on the book, it just starts off from the beginning of the book. It's really annoying please fix.

Okay Wattpad...You started off as a free app for FREE books and you already make millions of dollars off of us watching ads..AND NOW I can’t even read those books anymore? The ‘coins’ are over priced. Good books can’t even be read by most people anymore. So I wonder, why? You did this.

The new update is stupid. You shouldn’t have to be on wifi to read books, that was one of the many reasons I loved Wattpad, but now with the go premium for mostly everything is ruining the app. I enjoyed it when I could be camping and still be able to read books offline and now I only get two books if I don’t want to pay for premium every couple months? This isn’t an upgrade, this a downgrade at is finest.

The new wattpad right now sucks. You get to have only 2 offline stories and I like the vintage one better because It kinda brings back the old days when I first started reading wattpad and I think it’s simple, but cute. Pls pls pls bring back the old wattpad!!😭😭😖😫💖

The colour is too vibrant and the cover looks dumb. So bring back old Wattpad. #bringbackoldwattpad

Okay. First of all. All my stories used to be offline and now they aren’t. And I’m really upset because now I have to pay just to read my stories offline now.

So I've decided to give this app three stars because on my phone it's great and works alright. On my IPad though recently I can't read anything because the app will freeze and then it ends up crashing. I hope this is fixed soon. Thanks.

The colour is just so bad,, the orange is too vibrant it's painful to look at. Please change the colour back, at least. The logo is nice and I understand the concept of it, but i'm not sure I love it. Sometimes good things don't have to change because they're already great the way they are. I've been on wattpad for over 5 years. I've seen it change. But this one is just the worst one so far.

Extremely annoying to get halfway through a book then find out i now have to pay to read the rest of it, people use this app because it used to be free because a lot of people can’t afford to be paying for books they don’t know if they will even like. Also most of the books that are going to be free won’t be any of the good ones so what’s the point on continuing to use this app. Quit saying Wattpad is remaining a free app because a free app wouldn’t have so many hidden fees: false advertising.

The app crashes with alarming regularity. If you’re in the middle of reading something it’s okay cause it will boot up at where you left off. If you were browsing, however, and happened to be reading the synopsis for what might be an interesting story, you would be screwed. Hopefully you have better browsing recall than I do. It also bugs out pretty often. It will get laggy when opening up reading lists or loading the book synopsis. Once reading it doesn’t really glitch out, other than the whole app crashing thing. That being said, it’s all free so...

Wattpad has added an ad at the bottom of the screen while you read. I like most readers who don’t pay to have ads removed get very distracted and annoyed when reading and seeing it. It makes me seriously consider leaving the app, it should be removed

I love that I can read whatever I want and all but this new update if only having two downloaded books? Really? Are you that desperate for money? This is absolutely ridiculous.

Im actually very mad simply because now I can only have two offline books and you claim it’s so I have control over my storage yet if I wanted to have them all offline I have to pay monthly for it!! Paid stories were fine but seriously how does that make sense. I’m thinking about switching to another reading app because this is awful

Seriously, I used to love this app, but now we have to pay to get offline stories?!? Like come on! Wattpad was much better before! I will not pay for someone that I had for free! Please bring back the way it was, I don’t want to read all my stories only when I’m online!!!

Okay off topic but y/n is such a pick me girl with no personality. bye

Ok, so as an artist I understand that it takes time, energy and effort to write and that authors definitely deserve to be compensated for such if it’s an original story (not Fanfiction or plagiarized work). I believe in Author rights, and that if they wish to sell their story rather than have it free, that’s their choice and props to them. As a reader/consumer it my decision on which stories/authors I want to support by spending money. However I always felt that what was great about Wattpad was that it was a place to get amateur writers exposure and allow them to get feedback, build up a reader base and grow as authors. It was also a great tool for people of lesser means (kids, people from 3rd world countries, struggling artists, etc) to access original creative content. Now it feels less like a creative community and more like a consumer community where everything has become monetized. The app creators need to make money too, as everyone else, but now it feels exploitive for some reason. The worst change is the offline library being so limited. Not everyone has access to WiFi or data 24/7 and unfortunately it’s people of lesser means who usually don’t. People who will NOT be able to afford the subscription. But I guess they don’t care about these people anymore. If they’re gonna limit it for whatever reason, why at such a low number? Wouldn’t it be a better compromise to use a higher number, like 30 or 100? I hope that users of the app take a stand with me and submit a low rated review and stop using this app until the creators start listening.

Y/n did not get kidnapped by 5sos for this.

I know I use a free version but there are a ton of advertising and each time is 15 seconds. Now you tell me that have a new experience is a 2-limited-story. Can't believe that!!! ( ಠ ಠ )

For someone who has had this app since 2016 when it was free and you didn’t have to pay a crap ton for a membership, I am very saddened. Now I can only read two stories offline and not unlimited and yes there are ads but they never bothered me. What bothers me is that now I’m limited to how many stories offline I am able to read. I loved the app, until it was turned into a membership and non membership app. I’m very saddened to see it go this way. And I’ve noticed that it’s going downhill and barely any new stories besides the ones people are being paid to make, are being published. So ya don’t get this app NOT WORTH IT ANYMORE.

Wattpad isn't a terrible app, but it definitely has issues. The new look isn't all that nice, honestly it's a bit too bright. There's also a bit of a crashing problem that I keep finding. I honestly also think that supported stories are pretty stupid. Maybe instead of paying for the stories, we get it as an option and can choose, otherwise, the story will just have more adds? Because Wattpad was founded so that people could read without paying for books. All in all, I'll probably keep using the app, but it I sure as hell am not going to read any of the supported stories or anything like that.

I cannot believe how bad this app is. With how big Wattpad is it’s unacceptable. It’s buggy and laggy, and there are wayyyy too many ads. They appear between each chapter regardless of length so it theres like a 2 sentence author update that’s another ad. And they are times videos? I get they need money but they could at least make a static image you can scroll past so it doesn’t ruin the flow of the story. Worst of all is the search. Literally the worst search I’ve ever seen. If you search anything you’ll get irrelevant results. I should not have trouble finding a story on a reading app! Even if you search an exact title you will get irrelevant stories. The tagging sucks because there is no organization. This is especially bad for any sort of fanfic because good luck finding what tag people use for the relationships. Overall it’s embarrassing how bad this app is for such a popular platform.

This the greed they talked about in the Bible bruh. An ad after every single damn chapter is just ridiculous. Do something about it or you’re gona lose all your readers to Ao3.

Stop deleting stories, authors put time and effort into them. Also the ads?? Why are there so many now

Wattpad no longer embodies the statement “reading for pleasure”. Their purpose has changed, straying away from the people who have given endless support to a platform desperate for money. Needless to say, I will no longer be reading on Wattpad as I am very disappointed in how they perceive the meaning of reading, where everything is about money and no longer for the passionate interactions between authors and readers.

I’ve been using wattpad for many years now and through all the updates, i’ve never complained too much (even the paid stories - i get it, authors need to get paid). but now, they’ve added an offline feature. before, any story in your library could have been read offline. now, up to two stories in your library can be read offline. like for what???? as much as i like wattpad and the stories on it, i’m disappointed in the updates they make; they aren’t useful for the users at all

They’ve gotten sooo money hungry. Wattpad used to be the plug for unlimited free offline books and now? A limit of three offline books because they just want you to pay for their dumb premium program thing. First paid stories, now limited offline stories. So disappointing.

I remember finding Wattpad several years ago when I was looking for an app where I could read stories freely, without having to pay money or see any advertisement. All I had to invest was my time (to read, of course). I was so happy I downloaded this app, because I thought it would always stay free and uninterrupted. Yes, it did stay that way for a while. But an app can only stay good for so long. First it was the logo. The classic and simple W was replaced by a curvy one, and the orange was much brighter. I thought, "This doesn't suit Wattpad, but oh well." I didn't think much of the update. After a few more updates, I started seeing ads whenever I read a story. I was incredibly disappointed. Before, writers would write because they enjoyed writing stories. Now, with ads in the picture, it seems they're writing not for the readers or for themselves, but to gain money. The stories lack the genuine excitement from before. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to gain money through an app, but Wattpad is a READING application. Not money or ads—but reading. Currently it's so focused on money, money, money, that the developers might as well put a price tag on the app itself. Here I was thinking this will be different from the others when it turns out to be the same. I miss the old Wattpad.

I remember the good days where you could just read stories endlessly, without ads- it’s so sad how all these companies go greedy and money hungry, i was about to redownload but having to buy a subscription to be given the bare minimum is ridiculous- i was taught this saying.. “you must think i have sucker written all over my forehead” and i will never forget that, i will not be clowned around for the sake of greedy people. we used to write and share each others stories out of the goodness of our hearts, but it is no longer. this is the end of humanity, where money and greed became more valuable than human compassion, empathy, peace and morality.

Hacked my phone

I’ve had this app for years now and have slowly watched it become a money grab. Yes I understand that people need to be payed but everything is just forcing you to get premium. Everything was perfectly fine with the offline stories. I could read whatever I wanted while on a trip as long as it was in my library, but now I only get 2. Why? What’s the purpose? There wasn’t any harm before so why did it have to change now? People get bored with two story while on a long trip. Please bring back the old offline stories cause that was the only really good thing going for the new Wattpad recently.

I am a longtime user of Wattpad. It originally started as a platform for inexperienced writers to branch out and write for people looking for some free, original stories. Over the years, Wattpad has changed for money. Don’t get me wrong, of course I expected some small changes to happen as the platform grew. But these changes are anything but small. Only two stories at a time in the library? Video ads every 10 minutes? And so on. I am extremely disappointed. So with that... I was a longtime user of Wattpad. I’ll be deleting the app seeing as updates get increasingly worse.

Okay, so. I love Wattpad. But, the monetization has taken so much charm out of the app! I feel like every single good book is monetized now, and it’s frustrating. Some people don’t have all that money to pay, and it’s not fair. Not to mention the fact that people can only have 2 books offline. It’s stupid in my and many others opinions. I know I can speak for many people when I say the monetization should be removed, or at least lowered. Hopefully wattpad will listen, and try to make the app something the users want.

I started to love Wattpad. Why? I do not even know. I started to read a book and I got invested in it. I accidentally took it out of my library and I realized that too late. I tried to search the book up on Wattpad and it never came up. I even tried google and that did not work. I went to see if I could find the author and Wattpad said there is no such person on there. I did some digging and realized that the hook is still on Wattpad and same with the author. What? Why was it coming up like that? I do not know? Now I am not able to finish the book that I started to get invested in. If someone could help me that would be great. I was reading the book The Erised Effect and the Author is Ada_P_Rix. It would very helpful if Wattpad saw this comment and told me what to do. If this ends up getting better then I will rate this 5 stars. But so far it so a one. Please please help me I am begging you.

Why the have they become so money greedy now, i miss being able to read all of my stories offline without paying, and along with the fact that alot of the smuts are being taken down, like its 17+ app, webtoon get your priorities straight

Wattpad used to be my go to app for road trips and offline reading. now with the very stupid 2 book max i can’t read anything. it really sucks and you’re ruining the app.please bring back the old wattpad.

The older version was better. I understand that you need to make money to keep the app running but this new feature is pissing me off. All my books were offline and I could read which ever I choose now I have to pay for my library space. Wow thanks.😡😡

Don’t get me wrong I love wattpad and its creators but this new premium thing isn’t working. It’s not just that it’s annoying, it’s that it won’t work and that at this point it is just a money grabber. In my opinion the demographic of users using wattpad are probably 12 year olds reading fanfic. Do you think they have money? And also how many people do you think got annoyed with it so they ended up deleting the app? Remember when wattpad was a free platform for creators to get together and for you just to read because you couldn’t do the same on other platforms.

This sucks. I, and many others, joined Wattpad for the fact that it was a FREE book app where I could reading millions of books both online and offline at my leisure. In the past, I would’ve given this app a solid five-star rating but now I don’t think it adds up to that standard. I feel like Wattpad is slowly turning into an app solely based on money and straying from their original goal. I was okay with the paid stories program, and I understood that the writers behind these magnificent works need to be supported, but now that reading books offline has become a premium feature, I’m afraid I won’t be continuing with Wattpad any longer. Only 2 books to read while offline without premium, like come on? Are you serious? I used to be able to read HUNDREDS of books offline for FREE. This has completely ruined my experience.

I love wattpad so much. But i dont like the new update. Thats so annoying. Its gets worst and worst. Pls bring back the old wattpad where you can read offline stories with limited access. I don't care if wattpad takes so much space in my storage as long as i have more offline stories whenever i cannot connect with any wifi.

The update is stupid I’m going to tell people to not use the app until they bring back offline reads I have access to @safe_talk_space so I can reach to 14k people
