## Review summary

Users appreciate the convenience of reading from the app and accessing their regional library's collection. The app has improved its look and allows continuous reading with screen timeout prevention. However, many report slow performance during searches and catalog loading. Key features like loan renewal, early returns, and improved audiobook navigation are missing. The text-to-speech functionality and annotations system also need improvement. Stability issues causing freezes and empty content screens diminish user experience. Overall, while promising, the app requires significant enhancements to address frequent user concerns.

### Pros

- Allows users to read books anytime and choose books directly from the app.
- Maintains the screen active while reading if desired, preventing timeout.
- Provides access to regional library's digital collection without the need to physically visit.
- Overall functionality of borrowing and reading books is as promised when working correctly.
- Improved visual appearance compared to previous version of the app.

### Cons

- App is often slow, especially when searching or loading the catalog.
- Lacks features like renewing loans and returning books early.
- The text-to-speech feature does not remember the last read page, causing inconvenience.
- Annotations and highlighting system is unintuitive and lacks synchronization between devices.
- App can be unstable, sometimes showing empty sections or freezing, requiring restarts.
