Comments on Wattpad - Read & Write Stories for Android
★★★★☆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.

★★★★★Manjot Kaur· Oct 7, 2026
Wattpad is honestly such an amazing app! 🥹❤️ There are so many interesting stories and different genres to choose from. I love how you can discover new writers and get completely lost in a story. Some stories are so good that you literally forget the time while reading! Definitely one of my favorite apps. 📖✨
★★☆☆☆Hirva Vyas· May 27, 2026
I usually don't ever write reviews, but I am writing this one because Wattpad was just one of my favorite apps to read, and I left it alone for a week due to an exam and I returned and saw that all my downloaded stories were gone and I couldn't even find any of them it shows 'connection error' and when I tried to find new stories to read, it just won't stop buffing, eventually I cleared cache, updated the app. It didn't work, so I reinstalled it, but the same issue keeps happening, please fix.

Look, I've been trying to get into Wattpad. There's a story I want to read, but you just don't accept my username. No matter what I put it on, none of it is being accepted! Why? I can't create an account because of that. Please look into it. 😭😭
