Criticism & Constructive Feeback
Let’s cut to the chase: there are several issues that users find problematic. Cons/Negatives Save Button Issue The requirement to press the save button makes the process unnecessarily complicated. Instead, the app should auto-save progress, with an option to recover deleted content, similar to Wattpad. Paying for Views Requiring users to pay for views is problematic.
