Web browser extensions like Libby or simply reading on a site's mobile browser can sometimes offer more than a dedicated app. Some platforms limit features in their apps to push you toward proprietary formats or payments.
The real widest selection might be accessed through a good mobile browser, not a standalone app. It's less convenient, but it breaks down walled gardens. Don't limit your search to app stores.

Remember that many of these 'free' apps are free because they're ad-supported or use frustrating wait-time mechanics. The true cost is your patience and attention.
An app might boast 20 genres, but if you have to watch a 30-second ad every chapter or wait 6 hours to unlock the next one, how much genre exploration are you really doing? You'll likely stick to one or two stories.
Therefore, the app with the most accessible genres might be one with a less aggressive monetization model, like library apps or apps that rely on voluntary donations rather than forced ads.

Most generators are pretty narrow in focus—lots of Harry Potter or superhero stuff, which gets old. I've found 'Promptly' surprisingly broad. It's got weirdly specific historical fiction mashups, like 'a Byzantine scribe accidentally time-travels to a 1980s arcade', alongside the usual fare. The UI is a bit clunky, but the database feels curated.
My main gripe is that 'diverse genres' often just means slapping 'cyberpunk' or 'noir' onto a romance template. The ones that actually shift narrative structure, like suggesting a mystery plot for a slice-of-life fandom, are rarer. I end up using three different apps: one for crossovers, one for AUs, and a simple random-word generator for when I'm truly stuck.
Honestly, the best 'genre' diversity I've seen comes from Tumblr prompt blogs, not apps.

This conversation is making me want to go on a downloading spree and try all these apps. My phone storage is already crying, though.

Short stories! Some apps and magazines focus on short fiction across every genre imaginable. You can sample cyberpunk, literary fiction, horror, and humor all in one sitting. It's the fastest way to experience a wide range of genres and writing styles without committing to a novel. The range-per-minute is off the charts. I've discovered more new favorite authors through short story apps than through any novel-focused platform.

From a practical standpoint for most readers, I'd recommend starting with Libby (or whatever your library uses) and then supplementing with Wattpad for the weird stuff. Libby gives you professionally edited, widely recognized books across a standard but broad genre spectrum. It's your reliable base. Wattpad is your exploratory frontier where you go to see the wild, untamed edges of storytelling. Between those two, completely free, you have access to more narrative variety than any human could read in a lifetime. No need to overcomplicate it.

always hunting for the best apps to feed my addiction. The one that truly stands out is 'Wattpad'. It's like a treasure trove for book lovers, offering everything from romance to sci-fi, fantasy to mystery, all free. What I love most is the community vibe—you can interact with authors, leave comments, and even discover hidden gems written by aspiring writers. The interface is simple, and the recommendation algorithm actually gets me. I've stumbled upon so many amazing stories I wouldn't have found otherwise. Plus, the offline reading feature is a lifesaver for commute reading sessions.
