Great New App

I'm taking some time to share a new reading app.

It has been so addictive over the past couple of weeks. It is on the best sellers list of apps in the app store. However, it isn't really that popular among my age group. So many times today you will hear about teenagers and how they hate to read. I'm not like a hater of reading but it's definitely not what I would choose to spend time doing. I am on my phone a lot these days and since it's an app I use it when I am on my phone. I find that I use it on the bus in the mornings the most. Especially when it is quiet.

It's called Wattpad and was created in Canada, this year. You can read short and unpublished stories. Almost like an editor, you can highlight text and send comments to the writer. In most cases, if the story gets enough views the writers will actually try to publish. The great thing that I like is that 1. it goes with you everywhere and 2. the app gives you suggestions after you read. Just this morning, I found a spelling error and sent a comment to the writer. They can ever reply back. When you select a genre it will give you different suggestions. I have never heard of fan-fiction until this app. It is a genre that takes well known celebrities and puts them into everyday life.

I am currently reading "After" which is a fan-fiction that involves one direction and puts them into college at Washington State University. Some of the boys don't know or like each other. I don't know much about one direction or the way they are in reality. I think this helps with how I read the story because their personalities in reality don't confuse me.

I think that every age group could not only enjoy but also benefit from this great app. It is or for you if you really enjoy reading or even moderately like it.
