User Reviews

Users appreciate the extensive classic book collection and decent audiobook options in the app. However, multiple issues diminish the experience, including the app not functioning properly due to lack of updates, disappearing downloaded books, navigation bugs like skipping pages or auto-advancing chapters, and missing features like bookmarking. The interface could be more intuitive, and the search function struggles to find many titles. While ads are present, they generally do not disrupt reading. Overall, users find the app valuable but in need of significant improvements and maintenance.

Pros

Offers a large collection of classic books including lesser-known works and a wide array of titles across genres.
The app has a visually appealing and logical setup making it relatively easy to use for some users.
Audiobook feature is available, offering an alternative way to enjoy books.
Allows for offline reading when books are downloaded (though this is reported to have issues).
Mostly ad-free during reading experience, with ads on other screens only.

Cons

App has not been updated in a long time and many users report it no longer working properly, including inability to create profiles or log in.
Downloaded books sometimes disappear or need to be re-downloaded, causing frustration.
Navigation and interface issues such as skipping pages when scrolling, auto-switching chapters prematurely, and unintuitive design make reading difficult for some.
Search limitations cause missing titles, especially foreign language works and non-EPUB formats.
Lack of essential reading features like bookmarking, highlighting, stable page position saving, and proper categorization of books and genres.

Recent reviews

It's a good app but I can only give it three stars because there is no way (that I've been able to figure out) to return to the text after viewing a footnote.
