I use it to read books I n the languages I’m partly or fully proficient. It’s a game changer in my appreciation of untranslated literature.

this app could be awesome. compared to lingq and readlang, this app allows you to import full pdfs and epub files, images and all. this is amazing, and for that i absolutely love it.
but then, you’ve got the bugs. and boy, there are plenty of them. often times the connection to dropbox will stop and won’t return unless you restart the ipad. the only way to get them in with consistency is to export the file from dropbox right into the app — but that took me a lot of time to figure out.
at one point i tried to import books through a link and it simply deleted all books i had imported. all of them!! also, it’s impossible to tell which books will import correctly. pdfs with perfect text (not pictures of pages, but real text) won’t work. epub files which should in theory work, lose all of their tables after being imported. so, it’s a gamble, and after you painstakingly test dozens of files, it will delete all of your library.
will i stick to it? yes, because i can’t find anything better. but i honestly hate this app for all its potential and really bad, absolutely terrible execution.
