Wattpad Survey Results

Thanks to everyone for participating in the survey, we received a total of 206 responses. Here are some results we found interesting:

• 72% of respondents use Wattpad Reader on their phone at least a few times a week. 38% of respondents use Wattpad Reader at least once a day.
• The most popular content is long fiction, with 54% of respondents reading this on Wattpad, followed by short fiction (51%) and humor/trivia (41%)
• It’s good to hear that most are happy with the service! 74% of respondents rate the reading experience as either good or very good, and a further 19% say it is adequate.

We apologize for being unable to respond to everyone individually, but here are responses to a few common comments we received.

• You can download the story to your PC (as jar file) and then load it to your phone using USB or bluetooth. When you do this, you do not incur data charges from your mobile operator. You can do this by selecting the “Read offline” option on the story web page.
• If you click the username link, it will show you other material uploaded by the same user.
• By far, the number one feature request is “more stories.” Fortunately this is one everyone can help with. As more people join the Wattpad community, more stories will be uploaded. So help spread the word: email your friends, post to forums, and mention it in your blog. Tell more people about Wattpad, your recommendations will help the community to grow.

We are now planning for our next release and this survey gave us a lot of new ideas. We’ll keep you posted through our newsletter and blog. Once again thanks so much!
