Ratings and Reviews
Necessity
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.
Absolute nonsense
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.
stupid limit
1hr reading limit it wild, and forcing us to buy premium when it’s not even the official app is stupid. Even the official ao3 uses donations instead of this bull crap. I’m fine with using the FREE website instead, but I like being able to save my reading spot and track my hours and words per minute, not for a dollar a freaking month though. This is crazy. If there has to be a limit and you’re gonna force this subscription on us, then at least raise the reading limit. Who is spending only an hour a DAY reading fanfiction? At least give me 5hrs bro. Might delete cuz this is dumb.
