## Review summary

Overall: the app is praised for international payment support, offline reading, a clean layout, and quick fixes, but is hampered by crashes after updates, unreliable performance, problematic payment flows, a struggling PDF edition, and forced updates that disrupt access. It shows potential with offline access and simple UI, but reliability and clear migration paths require significant improvement.

### Pros

- International payment support enabling access from abroad (credit card payments)
- Ability to download editions for offline reading
- Stable app that generally runs and keeps to a schedule
- Pleasant layout and simple interface
- Quick, responsive developer support that fixed issues promptly

### Cons

- Crashes after updates and ongoing stability issues
- Inconsistent performance: sometimes downloads/read successfully, other times fails to download or load
- Payment flow problems where the pay screen reappears or payments don't go through
- PDF edition not well-suited for small phone screens and not up-to-date; unclear migration to a newer app
- Forced updates that remove access or disrupt content with poor communication/support
