Please support my petition for Wattpad to reverse the recent changes on their app and not to proceed with the proposed changes to their website (which come into effect in March 2019).

They have re-branded the app and it is no longer user friendly.

The banner colour used to be orange which was comfortable and familiar, it also made it easier to find the tool bar - the easy to follow format is one reason that people with learning difficulties and anxiety experienced success with this app.

The new format with white background is difficult to navigate through; the white is glary and too bright. Using  the blue light filter and turning the brightness down doesn't help.

WattPad in retro style IS WattPad! It is comfortable and familiar - like an old well read favourite book.

The new logo has also caused many users to miss notifications as we are unfamiliar with it and can become distressed as a result.

Many account holders that I have spoken to experience anxiety when accessing the new format, myself included. This is REALLY upsetting because we turn to Wattpad for a calming experience and to help regulate our moods. 

Logging onto the new look WattPad is daunting and feels like walking into a brightly lit interrogation room rather than a cosy study with a soft leather chair and crackling fire.

Please help my Wattpad family get OUR home back!
