Fanfictions, original stories, short stories and more is what the app Wattpad has to offer where users can download, read and write as many works as they wish.This app lets the reader find hundreds of different books from multiple genres such as teen fiction, fantasy and adventure to poetry, romance and more.

It is very easy to make an account and only takes a few minutes. Once someone has made an account they can access their library, where they can see any books that they have downloaded. Books that they have not yet finished are listed under current reads. Next to current reads is an archive where books that the reader has finished can be found.

Once the user has created an account, a tab on the left will allow them to click on discover in order to find new books. The user can narrow down their searches further by typing in a key phrase or word that applies to a book they want to read. They can also click on other options such as view profile, news feed, reading lists and more. All these options and many others helps make Wattpad a great app for first time authors and book enthusiasts.

Unfortunately, the user of this app has to figure out how to edit their profile, delete books they dislike, and even publish their stories by themselves. Wattpad lacks directions except for when someone first starts to use the app. It will help them set up an account, but after that the user is forced to figure out almost everything else on their own.

Luckily, it is usually easy to figure many of these things out. This app is especially helpful to first time writers as it allows them to quickly and easily publish their work to thousands of people who can help edit and review it. Authors can even take down their old works if they wish to.

Wattpad goes above and beyond other first time publishing apps by allowing people to follow their favorite authors and vote for their favorite stories. Readers can comment on specific chapters or paragraphs in every story making it easy to get feedback. It also recommends other books that the user may enjoy based on all the prior books they have read.

Wattpad can be frustrating at times due to authors often publishing only one chapter at a time as they write the story. Often times, the reader can expect to get into a good story only to suddenly find out that the author has yet to finish it. The reader is left in suspense waiting for the author to publish the next chapter whenever they feel like continuing the story. Sometimes, finished books are even left incomplete as the author wants their readers to go and buy the book in order to be able to read the last few chapters.

An added bonus is that this app has no ads! No matter how many books you download or how long you browse through discover, you can be guaranteed to never come across any ads. Downloading books is also very simple and takes only a few seconds. It does not cost the user to download even the most popular books, making this app a useful tool to use to find entertaining books to read for free.

However, as this app is often used by first time publishers, many of the books have multiple grammatical mistakes and some can be difficult to read. Others seem to be edited by professionals. Although there is a wide variety of amateurs and professional authors, this app is still engaging for someone who loves to read or write as they will have no trouble spending hours on Wattpad.
