I have rated this app a three stars. It's a good app and easy to use, readable, and easy to follow. On the down side for me and the reason I gave it a poor rating: there should be a contents page so u know what stories r in this app. The second fault with this app is that u have to read the stories in order instead of being able to pick and choose which ones to read.
