Many times it is easier to read books or stories either on our smartphone or on our computer, since we can access much more material online, than going to a bookstore or library. In this context, Wattpad was created, a platform that presents a space where writers and readers can meet and interact. Since 2006, Wattpad has become one of the most popular literary social platforms.

Discover countless stories on Wattpad

Wattpad has gained popularity because it is more than just a reading app: it is a global community where writers can publish their works and readers can discover new content every moment. Because it is so accessible, it allows anyone to publish their stories within Wattpad. In addition, in case you want to publish content on the platform, you can participate in its various prizes and contests.

Main features of Wattpad

  • It's free: Wattpad is free to use, so you just have to download the app, register and you can browse through all the available content.
  • Variety of content: within Wattpad there are stories of almost any genre imaginable, such as romance, science fiction, fantasy, horror, drama, adventure and more. Since anyone can upload their story, there is a great diversity of different categories.
  • Community: one of the aspects of Wattpad that stands out the most is the interaction that can be achieved between writers and readers. Readers can leave comments on any part of a chapter they wish, as well as read and respond to comments from other readers. Writers will also be able to see the feedback and take it into account for their next posts.
  • Premium version: although Wattpad is free, it contains ads, which can be annoying if you want to use the app regularly. With the premium version you can not only remove the ads, but you can also download what you want to read offline, in addition to accessing exclusive content.

Awards and contests for writers on Wattpad

As mentioned above, the platform promotes literary excellence through various awards and contests, thus providing opportunities for recognition and growth to writers from all around the world. There are for example the Wattys awards, which are celebrated every year. They are an opportunity for writers to stand out and compete in different categories such as romance, science fiction, fantasy, mystery and many more. In addition, some winners have gone on to have their books published, and film adaptations made thanks to the recognition they gained.

Interface and User Experience

The interface of the app is quite simple to understand, it is very easy to see the content that the app recommends to you, see what you are currently reading and what you read before. Also, if you are reading a publication that is regularly updated, you can receive notifications when there is a new update. 

Like any self-respecting reading app, you can also customize the reading screen to your liking, so you can change the font, size or background color; allowing you to adjust the reading experience to your tastes.

Wattpad's usefulness for reading development

Wattpad is an app that offers many possibilities and advantages, the main one being that you can read from your smartphone. However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind before getting serious about reading using this platform. The app usually shows ads every time you finish a chapter, which tend to be videos that last about 30 seconds. This interrupts the reading too much, and to avoid them the premium version is required.

Another point to keep in mind is that since it is accessible to anyone, everyone can publish their stories and this can result in finding poorly written texts and spelling mistakes. However, it is still a fascinating option since you can find short stories with a lot of creativity behind them, and they only exist in Wattpad.

Pros:

  • Intrusive advertising in the free version.
  • The quality of the stories may vary, as everyone can post.
  • You cannot access the content offline in the free version.

Cons:

  • How can I register on Wattpad?
  • You can register on Wattpad from their website or by downloading the app.
