Doesn't work anymore. Used to work on my Android tablet and phone, albeit glitchy, but worked. Last month or so it crashes every time I try to open a book. Maybe just an Android problem, I don't know. Tried all the recommended fixes, but app is dead in the water.

Freading has finally hit the dirt and the creaters finally gave up. You can no longer download a book supposedly due to licensing issues according to the pop up. Which is why them adding new titles is a bit confusing. Many book titles that are on my list are now no longer available and you can't add anymore books to your wishlist. It's a waste of space and time to download and browse.
