Royal Road - Read Stories

Been using royal road for years. It’s a great site for web novels, and the app is a great touch.

I love Royal roads, however, their app is meh at best. The biggest problem is you have to sign in every time you open the app. It’s highly annoying. It’s easier to use the website.

It is the best app in the whole world

I enjoy the app, but I don’t care what the release notes say, I still have to constantly reauthenticate and it is obnoxious.

While you can change line spacing, you can’t change the top and bottom margins that I have found so text gets buried under the menus. There are also issues with page vs scrolling. Page format will end up with duplicate text since it keeps the last page format the same even if you only had a sentence left. This results in lots of duplicate paragraphs at the last page of every chapter.

For premium when downloading for offline, there is an issue with certain text missing. One example is if <> are used. Any text inside is missing from the downloaded version. Makes certain series unreadable

I click remember me every time to no avail.

Lately the app has been extremely sluggish. Compared to apps like Webnovel or Fanfiction . Net. It sometimes takes several minutes for the app to open and constantly has long loading times when opening a novel and going to the next chapter. It needs to be optimized. However they seem to care more about pushing ads and premium in our faces then actually making the app more enjoyable. I’ve had premium since the app came out, but I wont support this trash until it works properly.

I do wish the app had a built-in feedback mechanism for bug reports. I just ran into an issue on IOS where as of today I can no longer select text to suggest edits, which is an important function for me.
