This app has LITERALLY helped me discover myself as a writer, artist, and person in general. I do have one issue with it though.
For anyone new, sexual content (also called "smut" or "lemons") is now against wattpads rules (that I know of). What Ive found is that almost nobody listens to this rule, and whenever I look at my feeds 8/10 comments are smutty roleplay. Im not saying ban roleplay all together, because Im addicted to clean roleplay, but maybe take down more smuts.
Also, there are people writing about pedophelia, abuse, and other illegal things. Also against wattpads rules.
For newer users thinking about joining, its an amazing app where you can make Brilliant stories and friends. Just steer clear of the whole forbidden things, ok?

As of July, a lot of us mobile users have been noticing that were getting our notifications extremely late. I myself have experienced them coming three or more hours late, and thats kinda sucky for people who like roleplaying.
Now, I know that wattpad wasnt originally meant for rping, but I personally have found it helps me calm down. But when the notifications Ive been waiting for all day pop up and I see that its extremely late, I feel kinda bad about it.
Ive also been noticing that books with the Yaoi tag have been being deleted like wildfire, even if they were completely innocent. I know a lot of other people would like to know why their books were terminated. Im lucky that mine hasnt been yet, but Id really hate to see all the hard work people put into these characters go to waste
