I'm gonna go against the grain here and say that for a pure, easy mobile experience, the Wattpad app still holds up for sheer volume of One Direction content. Yeah, the quality varies wildly, and the algorithm pushes weird stuff sometimes, but you can't beat it for just mindlessly scrolling through endless fics. It feels like there's always something new, even if half of it is the same five tropes rewritten.
AO3 is better organized and has higher quality writing on average, but sometimes I'm not in the mood to use a dozen filters. I just want to tap open an app and see a billion stories with those familiar character names. For that specific, lazy browsing need, Wattpad's app delivers a massive, constantly updating collection right in your pocket, no browser fiddling required.
Don't waste your time with specific apps. The biggest library is on Archive of Our Own, hands down. You can use any browser to get there, and the tagging system means you can find exactly the kind of 1D story you want, whether it's a 100k-word university AU or a fluffy coffee shop one-shot. Wattpad has quantity but the search is a nightmare, and dedicated apps usually just pull from those two places anyway but with fewer features and more ads.
Remember when we all just downloaded random apps hoping they'd have the good stuff? I used to try every new One Direction fic app that popped up in the store. Honestly, the landscape's changed a lot, and the whole concept of a dedicated "app" with a massive collection feels a bit outdated now.
Most of those standalone apps ended up being pretty limited, just scraping stuff from FanFiction.Net or Wattpad and wrapping it in a worse interface. A few of them had decent libraries for a hot minute, but they'd vanish or get filled with ads so intrusive you couldn't read a sentence. I got burned too many times by apps that promised thousands of stories only to find the same top twenty fics reposted everywhere.
These days, the biggest collections aren't in a single 1D app. They're on the big archive sites you access through a browser. AO3 is the undisputed king for volume and quality if you know how to search the Larry or Ziam tags properly. Wattpad's got a huge amount too, but you have to wade through a lot of... experimental writing to find the gems. My advice is to skip the app store and just bookmark those sites on your phone.
Most dedicated 1D fanfiction apps are pretty small or defunct. Your best sources are AO3 and Wattpad, accessed through their websites or official apps. The collections there are orders of magnitude larger than any niche app could maintain.

A third voice cracked across me with a sharp smack to my ass, the sting making me cry out. “Good slut. Take it all. You’re nothing but our toy tonight.”
Tears blurred my vision and my throat burned raw. My pussy clenched tight around Callum with every brutal drive. I gasped out the only words I had left.

Hmm, that's a tricky one because 'best' really depends on what someone's looking for. I got into the fandom through the classic band-as-family AUs, but a lot of those are massive 100k+ word epics that can feel overwhelming.
What worked for me as a starter was actually looking for completed stories under 50k words. There's this older one on AO3 called 'Knots' that's a Larry Stylinson coffee shop AU. No major drama, just a really sweet, slow build of them becoming friends and then more. It's like a warm hug in fic form and gives you a feel for the characters without assuming you know every tiny fandom detail.
I'd steer clear of the super famous, heavy angst ones like 'Escapade' or the vampire AUs right off the bat. They're amazing, but they're a whole mood. Starting with something gentler lets you decide if you even like how people write these versions of the boys before you commit to the deep end.
My friend actually printed out a physical copy of 'Knots' for me when I was sick once, which is probably the most fandom thing I've ever admitted.
