I noticed that the app has a flaw in that as a result of me having over a thousand bookmarks and many marked for later I can’t see them all. There are no like pages function for those tabs. Also, for future features it would be great if the marked for later and bookmark tabs had sorting and search functions. Overall this is a great app I just wish it didn’t have this flaw and had the functions I listed. This the best ao3 reader on iOS so I hope it continues to improve.

So I love the app and I’ve been using it for a while now wanted to write a review to tell people that if they see the Stories showing up as blank pages get a vpn worked for me and I tested it I’m in Germany and when I was in the states for vacation I didn’t need the vpn but just to be safe of the vpn is on it works once again this worked for me your fix might me different
Developer Response

Almost Perfect

The one thing that could get me to change to a 5 star review is making it so you can organize bookmarks by date updated. Unless there currently is and I’m just blind and incompetent.
It’s amazing!! Til ao3 stopped it
Ghoust fun
I used this app to read ao3 aurthers books off line for a while and I loved it! Yeah sometimes I didn’t find the fox I was looking for so I had to cut the title down till it showed but it was still awesome!! Sadly I can’t read the stories from ao3 anymore because they stoped it for some reason.
Developer Response
