dude i use this to read fanfictions daily
I see a lot of comments about the gray area about paying for free content. I want to remind everyone that the dev isn’t charging you to read, they’re charging you to use the app. The content is still free, you just have to use the web browser. This app saves my searches, gives me updates, etc. so I’m essentially paying for convenience and that’s worth it to me. If you don’t want to pay and you don’t like ads, this app is not for you. Missing one star because there’s A LOT of ads. The frequency definitely needs to be turned down because there should be some sort of balance between read time and ads.
This app is NOT ao3 (archive of our own). As far as I know, ao3 doesn't make you pay for fan fiction because well who does that. Please someone either reach out to ao3 or report the app.
So far I love the app! A dollar per month to read isn't bad (considering the dev has made navigating the Archive so much better), and the fonts and colour opportunities are abundant. The only real problem Ive had is connecting my AO3 account to the app, but it doesn't make reading any less fun.
🚨This is NOT Archive Of Our Own or approved by AO3 - you can read AO3 w/o an app - AO3 has no app 🚨This app is making money off of a FREE WEBSITE - AO3 is FREE as a member or guest 🚨This app does not get creators’ consent to access their works 🚨It is illegal to profit from fanfiction
Does what it says.
(⚠️‼️UPDATE WRITTEN ON 1.25.2024➡️) I really was a fan of this unofficial app for reading some of my favorite fanfics. I liked all the customizable features & easy-to-navigate interface. I “used to” really enjoy using this app UNTIL the 1-hour reading limit was imposed & a very pathetic $1/ month subscription fee, just to access something that I can get FOR FREE online, on any device, using any normal human internet web browser. To the app’s developers - why are you trying to “fix something that isn’t broken”? You’ve just ruined a good thing for a lot of people. Expect your $1/ subscription fee & 1-hour timed reading limit to FAIL COMPLETELY. I hope it does. 😠 I am NO LONGER going to give this app 5 stars. I’d give it -5 stars if I could. (⚠️‼️My previous thoughts BEFORE the stupid app changes were implemented➡️) I used the AO3 reader app extensively on my Galaxy phone with zero problems. This is the SAME EXACT app. All the controls, settings & appearance is the exact same as the “Archive Reader” app on the Google Play store. This app does indeed work on iPhone & iPad beautifully. Just create a simple backup of your account from within Settings on the app itself & you’re good to go to re-download it on another device. I was able to sign in to my account with no problems on this app, which is the compatible iPhone version. The only thing is that when you’re reading a story on there, the up-down scrolling movement isn’t super smooth (a little laggy/ stutters), yet this does not impede the reading of a story in any way. Other than that one tiny thing, this app is PERFECT. I’m still giving it 5 stars.
Look, the biggest problem here is that the developer is charging for fanfiction, which is a complete no-no. Anyone who has been in the fandom world for longer than five minutes should know that charging for fanfiction is a bad idea, even and especially when a developer hiding that charge behind “developer costs.” On top of that, I can almost certainly guarantee that at least 80% of the works on this app were mirrored without the permission or knowledge of the original authors. I should know that because at 1.300 of them were my own. The only bit of credit I can give this person is that they took down my work immediately after I emailed them, but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Archive of Veron is free, and will remain free, so please continue to use that website and do not support developers that are charging for fanfiction without the knowledge of the original authors and are putting fanfiction in a legal gray area that makes things a little more dangerous.
I loved this app until they got money hungry and put a reading limit reading is my outlet for life and now I only have an hour of escape
It is an amazing app but ao3 has stopped the app because of the pay wall
