I've been struggling to find motivation to write recently. However, I technically worked on fanfiction this week. Well, sort of, in the vaguest sense possible.
See, I read fanfiction on my phone using an open-source FFN reader, and occasionally contribute to the codebase when I find the time.
Over the past few days I've been working on a performance overhaul for the app, and in my local build checking for updates is now several times faster (~9 minutes to perform a full refresh on a library with 2.4k fics, whereas it previously took 40-80 minutes).
This is completely pointless information to most of you since practically everyone has moved on to the official FanFiction.Net app, but where else am I supposed to ~~brag~~ mention this? :)
I use this. It has a good offline reader and I like it. It's what comes up first when you search Fanfiction Reader. Doesn't have forums or review options but lets you read really easily.
Would it be too much to ask for you to also put this on fanfiction.net? It would lower the barrier of entry enough for me to start reading it, since I can check for updates to it alongside every other story I'm reading on fanfiction.net at the moment in the press of a single button.
Fimfic doesn't have an Android app, so reading on their website is like switching from silk to burlap, comparatively speaking.
Depends on your phone OS! I use Android, so I can't say much for iPhone, but the app I use (and recommend) is Fanfiction Reader. It saves the fics locally on your phone so you don't have to worry about having an internet connection.
If you have Android, I highly recommend the app 'Fanfiction Reader' by Spicy Mango. It has a saving feature and a download stories option, so if you back out of a story it saves your spot. When you come back to it, just hit 'Continue' and it'll bring you back to the right spot.
Wow, a lot of these methods have a bunch of steps. I don't think i'd have the patience to use half of them.
I use this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spicymango.fanfictionreader
It's an offline reader for the ffn website, with search and community browsing. If i see a fic i like, i add it to the app library.
Stuff in the app library is checked for updates by pressing a button.
That's it. That's all it really does.
Well, that and night mode and some font settings. It's a very simple app for a very simple task. If i want to move my library around it's pretty easy to do too. It does well with my large library, i dont have a count for it, but its a 115mb text file that contains all my books.
It does save reading position. (Talking about this app.)
The search engine is pretty shit, but other than that I'm quite satisfied with it.
Time for an easy and convenient app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spicymango.fanfictionreader
Makes it handy to be able to download the story so even if the author deletes it you still have it. Easy white text on black screen, used it so much on my last phone the app border was burned into my screen.
Hasn't been updated in over a year but its easily my most used app. Originally found on iTunes and when I switched to android I found it immediately. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spicymango.fanfictionreader
Maybe add in Fanfiction Reader app for Android possibly? This is what I've used for the past year and a half and never had an issue with it. I don't think it has as many functions compared to the official app, but it's quick and easy to download fics with the fic id and read on the go.
Everything else looks fine to me. Short, organized, and to the point.
If you're on Android, I recommend Fanfiction Reader, for reading ffnet fics on my jailbroken Kindle Fire. It downloads the fanfics directly to your device for offline reading, and checking for updates is one button simple.
i use this app for fanfiction.net https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spicymango.fanfictionreader&hl=en
and i download the fics as .epub from fimfiction.net and read them via google play books
Fanfiction reader app. Used so much the app was burned into the screen of my s8+.

I've been using Fanfiction Reader by Michael Chen Tejada for years (and on multiple devices)
