I have both the IOS version and the Android version (I only use the Android phone for traveling) and I have to say the Android version leaves much to be desired. I get no notification alerts. Nothing telling me someone added my stories to a reading list, someone voted, someone sent a message, someone commented, or one of the stories I'm reading has been updated. I have to keep going to the app to check on these things through day. It's a huge issue for me when I'm so used to alarts.

There is always the weird section of this app. The section where you read one book and it all changes to the dark side. If I were you, I'd just get this app on the computer. Much better to write with. Of course if you don't have one then this will do. A lot more ads though. Wattpad is honestly the best writing platform aside from the cringe that may be on it. I've tried others but they all sucked at saving and you couldn't even message people for more than 2 sentences.

I just started this app. I really like it. The ads are a bit of a problem but compare to buying every chapter it's workable. The biggest issue I have right now is it drains my phone battery so quickly. Something that usually lasts at least 8-12hrs only last 4-6hrs. It's depleting so fast I'm almost at the point of just uninstalling unfortunately. I hope this will get fix on one of your future updates. It really hurts to uninstall something I really like.
