Comments on Authorial for AO3 for Android

★★★★★ Nice app with tons of options making reading on android very convenient. Would love if there was the ability to save tags or fandoms like you can creators as those are what I usually stalk when looking for fics to read.

★★★★★ Best app I've had so far, it's what I've used since the old one went down and it's very similar

★★★★★ I miss the old A03 app, but I have really been enjoying this one, and it's way eaiser to see all my favorite authors.

★★☆☆☆ It's good for a basic app, but it doesn't let me save/download Fic's, so I can read offline (as far as I know), make saved folder(s), and most of all there's no "text to audio" feature, so it can read the story for me while I'm doing something else.

★★☆☆☆ Decent app, I've definitely had better interpretations. I wish it did a little more but most importantly, it keeps crashing. It's nearly impossible to use at this point.
