Great except for Ads with Audio

I really like RR and the ap is easier than the web to use. I know I should just pay for what I use but the ads are insufferable. You have a choice between an ad bar at the top of the page that doesn’t respect dark mode (so it’s often bright white), and also has moving elements (!!!) that make the ap completely unusable for me. Including bright light in my eyes and dancing graphics a few cm from where I’m trying to read?! Really? Or, you can choose the occasional long ad that comes between chapters. You can’t skip out of it, it takes you out of the app to the ap store, and it uses the volume full blast! I mean seriously?! The number of times it has come on blaring when I’m reading in bed next to my sleeping husband… it’s frankly rude of me to continue using it. It just happened again, which inspired me to write this review. Now I just need to decide if I should pony up and buy the stupid ap or just stop using it so I both stop bothering other people and giving myself an adrenaline inducing jump scare right when I’m trying to fall asleep at night.

4.5/5, from a website user

As a reader and writer who’s been making use of Royal Road for months by now, the app is decent. If you only plan on using RR to read stories, it’s perfect. At the moment though, that’s the main thing it has going for it. It provides a better reading experience due to decreased lag, as long as you don’t mind a smaller screen.If you want to try your hand at writing, or interact on the forums, you still have to use the website. For most users it probably won’t be an issue, but it would be nice to have access to RR’s writing tools from the app. It could also provide a nice safety net for authors that way: if you try to save a draft while you don’t have Wi-Fi, maybe a pop up could let you save the data to your device as a temporary measure.All in all, I think it’s worth the download, especially since the devs are likely to polish it further and possibly implement more features as time goes on.

I have been using the RR website for 5 years!! This app brings so many new and amazing features and build upon Royal Road in all of the best ways! I have both been reading and writing on the site for many years, so here’s a take for everyone: Readers: There is so much amazing content just waiting for you on RR. Some of the best (IMO). All of my favorite authors and books have come from this site. If you want to read and be engrossed in some of the best stories out there, this is your place. Writers: Now is time! With the app being released there are bound to be many new users checking out the service. This is a place where anyone can succeed and find an audience. I highly recommend you use RR. There is no better place to begin your writing journey!

Better reading experience than website

I’ve been reading stories on Royal road for at least a year now, and within days of using the app I upgraded to premium. Ads were completely non-intrusive, but I wanted access to offline downloads as I frequently put my phone in airplane mode. There have been a few minor issues, as expected of a new app. Customer service answered my ticket promptly, and the developers have been putting out frequent updates with improvements and fixes.Update: I lowered my score from 5 stars to 4. This is a complaint I’ve thought about before the app came out, but I recently had more dealings with. I can leave a story a review with no comment at all, but when I write a comment it has to be 50 words. If I put in fluff words (basically complaining about the minimum word count) the review gets deleted. Why in the world is there a minimum word count for a review?

- New: "Inactive" as status to advanced search options - New: Guest users get an option to unlock more content by providing their age - Fix: Sometimes horizontal scrolling of certain sections caused UI to hang - Fix: Edit suggestion did not maintain line breaks of the selected text - Fix: Comment box's double scroll + it did not scroll sometimes & text was lost - Fix: Chapter page scrolled when the comments were scrolled
