★★★★★Daisy casiag· May 19, 2026
I edit my watty comment here so heres 5 star for you watty
★★★★☆Emily Dale· Jul 30, 2026
This app would be 5 stars if it had a feature to make books as read so that I didn't click on previously read titles and wonder have I read this one, when u have read hundreds of books from the same genre they all kinda blur together and a feature to mark books as finished reading or read would be an amazing addition to the app.
★★★★★Naaz Khan· May 19, 2026
I publish and read stories on this app, so guys, please leave good comments after reading my stories.
★★★★☆Nea Therese Mana· Jul 30, 2026
It was great ive been using this since I was grade 4 now im in college. But now, every time I open my Wattpad while my data is open, it will automatically close. So, how can I download new story if I can't open my data while using the app. I hope you fix this because I can't live without my Wattpad, I can't let go it
★☆☆☆☆Shayantika Mondal· May 27, 2026
The app is the best. I'm not saying that it's worse or something. We can read stories and even write and post it there. But the problem is that I've downloaded it on another phone. It's ok. I'm trying to create a new account there, but it's always showing that "failed to connect to wattpad server" and some numbers. It's been a month or so that I'm trying to do it. But every time it shows that. Please look over this matter. This is only the problem or else it's a very nice app.
★☆☆☆☆윤재헉· May 27, 2026
This up is suck, I've written dozens of stories, and they're all gone, even my homepage can't process another story.
