It's really good if you want to make your own stories and read other's stories. The only issue I have with it is that when I'm making my story and I click Italics and type, when I finish, it turns my ENTIRE CHAPTER to italics automatically and autosaves. Edit: Still having issues with the forced formatting. Making my story writing nearly impossible. I'm sure there are better story writing apps out there. So unless you want to lose hair from stress, avoid this one

I've been using wattpad for years. it's a great concept, I love the app. however the biggest complaint i have right now is while writing, the text is constantly shifting to the center or right side without my doing so. it's really annoying. no matter how many times I shift it back, it does it again.
