Annoying thing about app - while updating it takes AGES to open fic. Perhaps, pause updating to open chapter? Sorting by review numbers in library and browser would be helpful. Kinda personal request - I evaluate fic's worth by how many times people bothered to write a rewiew. Search by author (in library, long click to fic, then 'All works of this author' or something). 'Browse Author' is not quite the same - it needs internet connection, and shows all works of author. Not very helpful if there's a whole bunch of oneshots. Access to fic details from within, from chapter's context menu. Insignificant one, really, it's just annoying when you want to check info of work you're reading - you need to close fic, find it in library (200+ works, and it's somewhere in middle? scroool it...), check what you want, then open it again..

Okay, thanks for your work - if you are working, I have no idea how this github thing works.. Here's a new bunch. Text selection - very needed, especially if you want to quote something, to point out spell error or something. If possible check before posting review if app logged in. If not, show message 'Review posted as Guest' or something. Preferably add somewhere in settings option 'Copy review to clipboard before posting', or something. It happens sometimes - you really put your soul into review, tap 'Send' button already anticipating how author will enjoy reading it... and 'bad internet connection' / 'you already reviewed this chapter' :-(

Okay, first, let me thank you for all your hard work. I read fics from FFN a lot, and your app is literally godsend. Next, there are two things I'd like to be implemented in future: One, to be able to edit fic. There is selection of fics I really like, they're complete and I'm re-reading them occasionally. But while they're amazing plot-wize, they're somewhat lacking in grammar, and there's little hope author would come back to fix that. Back then, when I didn't had smartphone and this app and was saving fics as .html files via FFDownloader, I simply edited grammar issues myself and enjoyed story. And I'd like to do that again. And second thing, which would only matter if you'll implement request above - option to hardlock certain fics from updating. Because losing all that work after next update - that would really suck.
