This is the perfect app for my reading. Everything is amazing once you have the server running. This is my everyday ereader app. All the features are great. Thank you. Below is feedback on what I want changed. Allow users request to server admin books they want to expand library. Have a request panel for admins or everyone to see on the app. Bring the scrollable layout from web to app on ios and android Maybe a comment section for each section of the book or for each book. But id have that probably toggled off by default so maybe not

I love storyteller, my family and I use it daily. The ability to seamlessly swap between listening to an audiobook while driving or on a run and be at the exact sentence when in the ebook has single handedly renewed my love for reading. I also really appreciate how the developer has built a great community on discord and actively responds to support requests. Shane fixed a bug I reported in just a few hours. Insanely awesome!

This app (back-end server included) is awesome. I don't know of any other solution in the Apple App Store that can do this. You'll need to run your own (Docker) server touhg, so for home lab enthusiasts, this is pure gold. The developer definitely deserves our appreciation and support to keep this project alive and growing so we can get quality-of-life updates and new features in the future. GUI improvements and personalization options would be appreciated. If it’s not too much to ask, metadata scraping and graphically reading stats would be awesome to have as well. Thank you, Shane!
