8 of 25Ever since the last update the app does nothing but spin in update mode. It’s never ending. O much for reading.
App no longer works. “Updating” of books never finishes. Too bad.
Awesome book read app. I enjoy reading with this app.. so how about small update to get this app running smiles thanks!
Rendering forever,fraud
Nice selection of older books
I try to down load and read a book and not show. It is blank. Requesting a refund.
I used the app many years ago and it worked well. Recently I tried to return and even paid to unlock audiobooks. Unfortunately, the books disappeared from my library and the app glitches when I try to download any new books.
I had this app a couple years ago and I loved it, but none of my books will render. Bummer too!
