t’App That!
Hear ye, hear ye, readers near and far, we have an app for you. It’s not all about buying books from a book store, or paying for an e-book online, this provides you with thousands of books at your fingertips… and it is absolutely free! Can you hear the joy echoing from your parents’ pockets yet? We’re talking about Wattpad.
Now before this app was an app, it was a regular ol’ website. Wattpad was created in 2006 and since then has been the home of thousands of written pieces. The purpose of Wattpad is to allow amateur writers – those who have not yet been published – to post various written pieces such as stories, articles, fan fictions and poems. The genres range from romance to science fiction, to drama and everything in between; there is literally something for everybody.
Wattpad also acts as a form of social media and this is mainly because most of its writers are regular teenagers like yourself. But don’t let that fool you, though these writers may be young they certainly do not lack the talent needed to churn out a great story. Some Wattpad writers have even gone on to be published!
Individuals are able to join Wattpad and, like any social media platform, they receive a profile. On their profile they can post their own work and create virtual libraries so books they find interesting are all in one place. They are also able to comment on, vote for and rate the content of others, and write on the walls of other users. The Wattpad app was created in 2009 to facilitate the growing demand by users for a mobile, downloadable version of the website.
So, what you waiting for? Hop on to this fast-moving train of fun-filled reading entertainment and download the app! Read awesome stories or post some of your own, you never know if a bestselling novel might be in your future. Either way, we promise you won’t regret it because, if you ask us, we’d definitely tApp That!
