## Review summary

Across multiple reviews, the app's major issues are persistent: the barcode/ISBN entry methods frequently fail to add a book to the library, blocking access to content. When a book is added, the audio often fails to download or play, making the phrase audio feature unreliable. Additionally, downloaded books do not stay in the library or persist after restarting the app, requiring repeated redownloads. Several users report stability problems, including the app crashing or closing unexpectedly, particularly on older iOS versions, suggesting limited updates. A minority note that audio and favorite-saving features work when functional.

### Pros

### Cons

- Audio download and playback often fail or do not work for many users
- Barcode/ISBN scanning or manual entry frequently fails to add the book to the library
- Downloaded books do not stay in the library and require redownloads
- App crashes or closes unexpectedly, especially after long use or on older devices
