Absolutely love it!! Coming back to edit this year's later after my 1st review. There has been a slew of new apps that claim to have free stories but end up costing 50-120 just to read one. The only story app that I still trust is Wattpad. It's stayed true to it's writers and it's readers, yes there are adds in-between chapters, but they're short and I love the writers. And if you do buy a book on here to read the prices are reasonable. All in all, 100% recommend over any of the other apps.

I have been using wattpad since 2016 and I've absolutely loved it. It's where I could read and write for free. The community is amazing and a great way to get feedback. The new updates have been horrible. The point of the app is a free way to read and share books from all over the world. Now you only get bombarded with books you have to pay for and only have three offline books to read at a time. The ads I completely get but taking away the library is ridiculous. Just go back an update.

Love hate relationship. Wattpad is amazing honestly. The four years I've had it. Great. Easy to publish and read books of all genres. Only a few problems. Adds, im aware that's how apps make money without purchasing anything, but way too consistent. Also newly updated chapters and accessing them. For example, one of my favourite books got updated three days ago, and I'm yet too be able too read it. When I tried too read it, I got kicked off and the book was taken from my library.
