It's a really nice app and I do prefer it to the original Wattpad, it still has one or two problems that I hope the team rectifies. I hope that they increase the number of stories we can read offline. They said 25 books but I'm not able to reach that number before the app warns that my offline space is up. 😔 I hope that they can make the text-to-speech option available to the readers for all stories of their choice. I also hope that an option for rating/favouriting is available for every book.
I have this app and the regular one so I can have 2 accounts on my phone simultaneously. Gotta admit the beta one has more bugs, as expected, but it's still great. I do hate that the ads are way too common. I really only use wattpad for making fun books, roleplaying, and talking to old friends. If I want to actually read fanfiction I go to ao3 where there are no ads
Wattpad Beta is stronger than the original app and has fewer glitches, which is impressive considering the beta is meant to test new features. With that being said, there are still many crashes and inconsistent notifications. It'll give me notifications for five minutes, then it'll suddenly stop and never send me anymore. The app is overall good and I like using it, so the problems are far from big deals, especially for a beta.
