I've had this app since November of 2014. That's almost 11 years. I'd say I'm a loyal user then at this point, and I use this app very often. I was orginally mad at the ads before and after chapters, but then I got over it because I know the company needs money. But now? Now the ads are way too excessive! Ads on chapters, ads before and after chapters, ad banners on book descriptions, ads in comment sections...ads are everywhere! It's just too many ads and disrupts the reading experience.

I love the most recent update of watching ads to get 3 ad skips. Yes, 1 ad skip is used after every chapter, but I'm able to stack the ad skips, and I love it. while I watch a movie or something, I can just get the ads playing on my phone so I can read later. I love that the skips don't expire or go away if you exit the app. Another thing I love about the app it that if you open it and are on your main page area, not sure what to call it, it always recommends new stories with your favorite ship

At first wattpad was a great place to read free books. However now it's Ad after Ad. I read a chapter, than get an ad, next chapter than another ad. Just ad after ad after ad and I am getting sick of it! I am hoping that Wattpad actually reads their customer feedback and fixes this issue because they used to be such a great reading app but not anymore. If this continues on and nothing gets fixed I am going to find myself another app to use for reading.
