Pocket Fiction App Reviews

When I first got this app it worked perfect I loved it, but recently its stopped working. It wont load my stories and both my alerts list and favorites lists are now empty and I cant see my stories then when I go into the app it takes forever to load! And sometimes it doesnt load it just freezes then shuts off its very irritating I emailed the people but never got a reply.

It would be great if you could update the stories in the background so you dont have to be Im the app the whole time while theyre updating. Love it otherwise!

I really like this app! Its fun and so user friendly. It really is worth it. Theres just 2 things I would add. 1.) more hosts to choose from like archive of our own and 2.) ability to search for new fanfiction outside of the authors. Regardless this app is so much fun!!

What happened to the thing that pop up and be like story updates. I wanna download all my stories at once it dont do that no more sync all the stories yo.

Great app, my only suggestion would be to try and find a way to allow us to sync our stories on other websites like AO3 (archive of our own). Still, awesome job!

I love this app but ... The majority of my 800 plus stories no longer update making me go to each individual story and manually update them. All my stories are out of order despite my settings.

I love this app but since I got my new phone I cant load my stories

I seriously cant stand the app...its really awkward to get around and its okay for when you want to read old stuff but it becomes a nuisance when trying to find something new. The overall layout is really awkward that I really dont understand it...over all, good if you want to read old stuff but searching for new stuff youll have a faster time by going on safari and searching there (which I am about to do). I had this app once and deleted it for this reason and now over a year later and Im deleting it again for the same reason.

I completely agree with 17389 (below) about wanting the advertised option to look at more than Fanfiction.net (more domains coming soon? Right..weve certainly been hearing THAT for a while.). I may not be interested in the SAME domains mentioned by all the reviewers who broach the subject (most of what I read is on password protected sites), but it would be nice to have the option. Also, I continually have an issue with not being able to figure out the interface for finding new stories even when I WANT to look at ff.net. Could we have a little more in the way of accessible operating instructions, please? Apple apps are supposed to be intuitive.

I hate how it wont save my place after I exit the app. I read multiple books at once and its highly irritating I have to go back from wherever I was a read through the chapter headings to figure out where I was. I dont think Ill be using this app. Not impressed

I preferred when it asked to update, now it doesnt and I cant find how to change that.

I really love this app, but I cannot review for some reason. I try to use it but every time it says that the reviews are temporally unavailable. I dont understand why but I wish to know how.

Literally everything I was looking for in a fanfiction.com app. I had been considering writing one of my own to put on the App Store after seeing so many inadequate ones: some without account syncing, some without offline reading, some with advertisements. I rarely review apps but this app deserves the time I am spending now. Absolutely perfect. The UI is a bit confusing at first, but its intuitive design is clear after getting the hang of it.

This app is so convenient and I love that it saves where I am and I can keep all the fics Ive read in one place! I can also read when I have no service. Its amazing.

It works better than I expected. I can sync all my stories into it and read them without having to connect to wifi. Perfect. Also, it saves my spot so I dont have to scroll through every page from the beginning.

I love this app but theres no where to purchase extra features. Whats the deal with offering something that you cant even get?

The latest version of the app has an issue that ive ignored until now. When it loads it hides the hosts and i have to scroll it back down. Ive also started seeing "/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/long string of numbers im excising in case its identifiable to me/Documents/" in the chapter area with a (null) of (null) chapter/page popup When i try to swipe back to another chapter if i click on the next chapter instead of the one i want. Still a 4.5 star app to me. A suggestion or two as well: add a last read tab. Sometimes i forget which stories im currently reading and seeing the last five or ten would be helpful. Also, a native inversion button or a colors/themes to modify for hue when reading late would be nice. Also, though i assume theres no api calls for this, but if there are, being able to review would be nice. Or at least read reviews.

I love this app. Ive been reading every story I could possibly find and Ive loved it forever. But recently its been acting funny. If the developer is reading this can you check in on it? Im missing some valuable story times.

I love this app because I can download as many fanfic as I please and read them on-the-go without wifi. And golly do I have a lot! Im not experiencing any lag at all but Im confused as to why it doesnt automatically ask you to update all stories anymore? Ive had this app for the longest time and the older version enabled me to choose whether or not to update all of my stories to see if there are new chapters. Also there were a LOT more organization options to sort through stories but now, theres only 4 or so. I REALLY hope that the next update will bring back the option of updating all stories~ thats the only drawback really. Im super lazy with checking if a story has been updated because I read multiple stories at a time and I sometimes forget to check.

It doesnt shows your favorites story in the favorite tab
