Texties for Android has arrived!

It’s here! We are excited to announce that Texties for Android has officially dropped on Google Play this evening.

After five months and hundreds of optimizations, the highly anticipated app is fully available for all mobile devices in the United States & Canada (to be available in more countries coming soon).

Texties v1.0.0 (that's programmer version speak) provides new experiential enhancements for readers who use their smartphones everyday. In addition to completely free access to hundreds of original chat fiction stories, readers will also find dozens of novel-length multi-story series in which to wholly immerse themselves.

Additionally, Texties provides helpful categorization for easy discoverability of new and exciting stories. There are fourteen non-exclusionary genre categories, to which any single chat story can belong to three - allowing for genre experimentation and narrative innovation as well as the chance to uncover plots and themes a conventional reading app might normally overlook.

Texties’ “front page” now displays three convenient categories which are updated daily:

• Featured: Hand-picked stories that represent the most popular on the app
• Recent: Hot-off-the-press stories published by experienced Texties authors
• New Authors: Fresh-faced stories published by first-time Texties authors

And on Texties, your opinion has never mattered more. We value an engaged community and now reward engaged readers with an uncomplicated star-rating and commenting system. Each story rating helps other readers discover amazing fiction that they’ll love.

We’ve also enhanced the reader profile features to emphasize saving, sharing, and creation. Reader history can be found either right on the front page or in your profile, allowing you to easily return to stories you’ve read at the exact place where you left off. Find a chat story you loved? You can now “heart” that story and find it again later in your Favorites. Want to share an amazing story with a friend? Send them the link with the tap of a button. It’s that easy.

As an incredible free addition to your Texties profile, to the aspiring authors out there, you have access to the same advanced chat fiction writing tools in the Texties Author web app as professional authors use for Texties, allowing you to easily write and instantly publish your own Texties stories from a laptop or desktop. You can even read and review your authored stories in your profile for experience testing and convenient proofreading before publishing your story publicly.

With these incredible features and the myriad of slick new UI and UX improvements built for reader enjoyment, we are confident that Texties v1.0 (or 1.0.0) will be your new favorite app. So get it now on the App Store or Google Play, if you haven’t already.

Please join us in welcoming Texties to Android 🤖 out of beta and into world 🗺, and be sure to let us know what features you’d like to see in future versions!
