User Reviews

Users report a strong catalog and enjoyable reading when it functions, but the app is plagued by instability and performance problems: frequent crashes, failures to open or download purchased books, unreliable audiobook playback, missing features like communities, and non-persistent settings. Overall sentiment is mixed to negative, with content quality praised where applicable but reliability issues dominating feedback.

Pros

Broad catalog of titles, including popular and niche reads, available in the app.
Free to use and easy to access for reading.
Pleasant reading experience and enjoyment when the app functions correctly.

Cons

Frequent crashes, freezes, and overall instability that hamper usage.
Inability to open owned purchases or download purchases; slow or failed downloads.
Poor audiobook playback with skipping, speed resets, and lost playback position.
Catalog gaps and search limitations; many desired books missing or not searchable.
Settings (e.g., reading goals, speed) often do not save.

Recent reviews

This app has been consistently buggy on Android. Audiobooks will randomly not load or stop playing despite being downloaded. I have to force stop the app and reload, often losing progress and having to refund my place. Right now, I cannot use the bookmark or sleep timer modes. they appear at the top of the screen overlapped with my phones toolbar and I am unable to select anything.

No option to scroll pages, must swipe right or left. I'm deleting this app and going back to the online version. Scrolling is a must for me as dumb as that might sound to some people. It has to do with the way I read and process information. Swiping does not work well for me.
