I love this app but the search capabilities are awful. I tried searching a book I already have downloaded, just to test it, and couldn't find the book anywhere in the app except for in my downloads.
It's okay but it deals mostly on old books, no recent books can be found and it's frustrating because I don't like old books but recent books. And it's tasking having to keep searching repeatedly and yet not find what you are looking for. Please work on it. The arrangement of books in alphabetical order is also frustrating because you have to keep scrolling and when you want to search for books again, it takes you back to the very beginning instead of starting where you stopped.
Reasonable book selection. Sometimes you have to scroll forward a page and then back for the page to formulate(screen refresh)
More books than can be read in a lifetime, all free and rated. Very nice site.
I DL this some time ago, I forgot about it. Recently realized I have it, found it has audio books available, started adding classics, other books out of my comfort zone and intelligence (I can say that LOL). Some of the 'readers' are boring, some are animated. I am happy it's FREE. Unfortunately, I'm getting older and sitting down and tiring my eyes is not fun. Thank you for the free books and audio.
There are some problems with this app. Sometimes, when I turn the pages, the are some glitches. I turned the page, but it's the same as the previous one. Also, sometimes, some pages are not displayed and are skipped. I also need to reload this app a several times per day. So, I I urge developers to fix that glitches and make app design look beautifully.
This app is amazing! A good chunk of the audiobooks are well-narrated and the books are great! But some audiobooks are bad and very awkwardly narrated. Also, if you seek contemporary literature, you won't find it here. It's mostly classic literature. But if that is your preference, this is highly recommended.
i just downloaded the app for a long journey in may, the app has a good selection of books and the app can be used without wifi, therefore, perfect for car journeys. i would like to see some newer books but overall, a great app. I would recommend to anyone looking for the classics. Especially Alices Adventures In Wonderland.
Amazing App with a treasure trove collection of great authors and their work. Many thanks to the creators of this tremendous resource. The only feature that I think is missing is lighting regulation, ie, lightning and page color control slide, so that a reader can dim or increase light or color of the pages to their desired or optimal degree to make reading more enjoyable. Otherwise, I am most grateful for this app. Thank you.
This application is really good and i enjoyed using it. However, sometimes ads would show throughout the book and these ads actually cover over the actual page of the book so that the words on the page with the ad is missing. I am extremely dissatisfied as this causes the stories to be incomplete. Please fix this !
An excellent selection of books, many classics and surprise delights that await discovery by all and l've read some favourites several times. Advertising is carried of course, nothing comes free. I wish it was silent but have set the media on my phone to zero to avoid that element. A well used app that is much appreciated
A few of the 'readers' are not accomplished readers and spoil the flow of the story by their poor grasp of english at times. However; some are excellent. unfortunately each chapter of the same book could be read by a different person, so gettingba whole book read by an accomplished reader with a good voice appears to impossible.
Yes I like this app its really nice I can read my books anytime. And then get back to the same page afterwards
I used to love this app but it has been increasingly difficult to simply read a book. It pushes audio books on you. The audio app, per month, is pricey! This app was like heaven has now turned into hell! I simply want to read. Again it is made very difficult, now you are expected to down load the book and still can't open it. No instructions either. Again audio is pushed on you. It also ripped my extensive library, nowhere, Nada, gone!
I love the app. Such a privilege to be able to access so many classics for free. Not to mention all the books you hadn't thought of before. And now so many audio books as well! One improvement suggested. Could you PLEASE add a timer on the audio books so that you can time them to turn off when you fall asleep!
I can be found, quite often, right here, in this app, enjoying mankind and the stories they have left us. The only thing that would improve it would be to have the audio overlay on the book page so I don't have to exit the book to turn on the audio and then go back to the book to read along. Other than that, it's absolutely PERFECT. Thank you so very much. Six months later: I am happy to report that one thing has changed, I am even happier with this app. Thank you again. Well done.
It's like having a well stocked library of most of the best books written thru the years and at No cost
The best app that could possibly exist to anyone that wants to read a book.
Amazing app., thoroughly recommend it. Exceptional selection of genuine classics and much more. The audio book selection is great too, though a minor dislike is the reminder/ad of who creates the audio books and who is reading them at the beginning of each chapter. Apart from that, excellent.
It's a good app to search and download classical novels. The only problem is the system during reading mode as it frequently malfunctions: text disappears, text repeats on multiple pages, pages differ from time to time despite no change in settings. Sometimes refreshing app won't work. Big challenge here.
For the most part, this app works even when offline. The wide selection of good books and the fact that this app is free are wonderful. With this app, I was able to read masterpieces by Oscar Wilde and Charles Dickens (my two most favorite fiction writers) when I am riding the car on a long trip or waiting.
The interface is good, but some of the first paragraphs of each chapter (like Sense and Sensibility, eg. Chapter 6 and 8) are missing. I've been listening to another audio book app as well, and I'm a bit upset I cannot seem to follow through the lines because of the missing contents on this app. I hope you can take a closer look on this. Thanks.
