What are users saying about Troper

Q70%
by Q####:

This app is a nice way to read TV Tropes on the go. The text is legible, images load well, and being able to read articles offline are nice. However, I found out that certain characters on the original pages, like ellipses, completely fail to render in the app. I would like for characters like these to be supported in this app. (Edit: I found out that TV Tropes' em dashes, which are rendered from two hyphens in the source text, are actually rendered properly in the app, but ellipses are still not.)

R70%
by R####:

I wish all wiki readers worked like this, especially the "read later", and tabs options. Well done! One request: when a page fails to load it is still pulled from the Read Later list but not added to the Recently Read list, and thus the tab is lost. Can it be kept somehow?

B70%
by B####:

The new way of searching the app, is incredibly clunky, And needs time to load. Previously it was incredibly responsive and didn't require heavy load times. Was a good way to kill time when my data has gone over it's cap. That is now impossible, it is now so inconvenient I find it easier to use google chrome so surf TV Tropes, unless on Wi-Fi.

Q70%
by Q####:

I am an avid fan/troper on TV Tropes, this app helps me browse it easily too. One request though, possibly add an Edit Page thing so I can edit things in and stuff.

D70%
by D####:

I love this app. However, adding the ability to log in with your TV Tropes account would increase the app's functionality: You could view the edit history of an article, have a gander at the watchlist. Perhaps you could even add article editing to it?

Q70%
by Q####:

Now the app runs better and all, but there's still the crash problem. At least for me it's not a big annoyance, even if fixing this will make Troper a very entertaining and useful app, just like your wonderful website. (Edit: ...or you can add a feature that restore your previous session, so I don't need to reload every single time every freaking page. Hopefully you will read this review, and thank you for creating this app.)

Q70%
by Q####:

This app is awesome! I used to have this back when it was still called Android Troper and just recently downloaded this newest version. So glad to see the crashing problem is fixed! The only two problems tho are the battery drain, and the slow load times. If those two things were fixed, 5/5 would trope again.

Q70%
by Q####:

Everything you can do on the TV Tropes website can be done on this app really well. I haven't encountered a single issue, and no ads.

Q70%
by Q####:

Love the app for how easy it is to read TvTropes on my phone, but I'm having a funny problem. When I click a link on a page, or go to a subtrope, the page loads something like halfway down it instead of at the top. Any idea why?? Other than that, I love it! :D

W70%
by W####:

Awesome App! Just one little thing though.. Will it be possible to highlight the dead links? Thanks a bunch

Q70%
by Q####:

Sir/Ma'am, would you kindly eventually implement the following features into this application: 1. Ability to link with our TV Tropes acounts and watchlist 2. A search and sort function for our favorites, offline, and read later lists 3. Ability to edit trope pages (VERY IMPORTANT) 4. Access to all trope pages (there are some pages in thr app that only display the read-only webpage) 5. Access to the forums 6. Ability to download trope pages as PDFs 7. Image downloading 8. Please fix the in-app trope search function. It only produces ten pages of hits per search. Thanks in advance!

K70%
by K####:

My only issue is that if I don't save my several dozen tabs for offline e reading whenever I go down the rabbit hole, I eventually lose all tabs if I close the app. Other than that, great way to browse TVTropes without having eight million tabs open in Chrome.

You'll read for hours learning things about your favorite media you never knew.

I've nearly failed classes because of this app, 10/10

Q70%
by Q####:

Now Material Design compliant! One suggestion I would add though is to allow adding a page to my read later list from the page itself. Because of how search works, I can't add anything from there onto the list.

Q70%

There was a problem with the search function, but as ever, the developer was on the ball. It's working now

I've read your struggle in every changelog, but I must say, keep up the good work! Ever since I've installed troper, i have no need to use browser to read tropes ever again. Thank you

This is the one feature I've always wanted because I live in a place with terrible mobile net. Thank you so much!

S70%
by S####:

You're app is broken. Every time you open a link to something, it says "ERROR" and is gone. Also crashes every two minutes. I counted.

Q70%
by Q####:

Such a great app for reading tv tropes. Now with offline articles it just keeps getting better

Y70%
by Y####:

I thought the search fix would be the last major update, but the developer keeps delivering. I love all the new subtle changes, and I couldn't be happier with the current state of the app.

J70%
by J####:

Am I missing something, or is Random Page and Search the only way to use this? What about a Browse feature? Not at all what I hoped for. The site is great for research, but this is useless.

My app isn't able to connect to a server, please fix thank you.

Q70%
by Q####:

It was working all right, except for the occasional crash, then TV Tropes updated itself to 1.3 and it broke this app. EDIT: As of 14 May search doesn't work. EDIT: The update to fix the search problem worked for the first search and not again. EDIT: Fixed as best it can be

Q70%
by Q####:

As another hopeless TV Tropes addict, I've loved this app for a while. It's great to see the various issues addressed. The new version worked really badly/slowly, but after a clean install it's looking good and running really quickly.

B70%
by B####:

It's all fixed now, and working faster than ever. The developer will always comment if you have a problem and those problems are fixed quickly. This is better than the official website.

Q70%
by Q####:

When I open a page (from search or from random) it sometimes just shows a blank screen. As far as I can tell, it's random, and it doesn't happen often. Apart from that, it's fine.
