## Freading Description
The Freading application is for reading EPUB books and PDF books. The application was developed for users of the Freading Ebook Service. 

The Freading (free reading) Ebook Service was developed by Library Ideas, LLC and is sold to libraries of all types around the world. End users are registered cardholders of participating libraries. Check with your local library for participation.

The end user should use their browser to navigate the library website, then download the book from a library website into this application. Once in the application, the EPUB or PDF book can be explored and read.

The Freading application is designed to lend full support for Adobe DRM and uses Adobe ID for Authentication.

The Freading application includes many features that you would expect for a good reading experience such as tap or swipe to turn pages, remembering the last page read, and selectable text size.

## Freading Reviews in United States

### *---- "The book of life by krishnamurti"
Is not redownloading
-- aghiles mahious, 2024-12-11

### *---- "Can’t sign up; No way to report problem"
Writing a negative review because the developer link is dead and there is no other way to get help or contact them — no link for support on Freading.com. 
When I try to sign up in the app, no confirmation email is ever sent. Yes I checked my spam and suspicious email folders. Nothing there. So the app is useless.  I can’t use it and I can’t get any help. 
ZERO star rating would be more accurate. 
Maybe freedom should be removed from the App Store?
-- g33dubya, 2024-09-26

### ***** "Just the nicest couple"
Great book! Good plot twist!
-- !Catbird45, 2024-07-27

### **--- "Broken app"
The app is seriously broken. It tells me to log in - so I do. Then when I download a book, even the prices finished the app again said I need to log in. I do that and the app says the book is downloaded, but it doesn't show up anywhere. Horrible experience
-- soldmymind, 2024-04-04

### *---- "An update (and still one star)"
As a former applications programmer I’d like to know if anyone even bothered to test this before releasing it! Trying to use the Settings to get the page to be readable is almost impossible to use. I have the font size up to its maximum and the size is still incredibly small. Many times when I try to make a change (e.g. the line height), the screen goes blank except for the settings themselves—which are then unusable—and in order to get out of it I need to close the app and reopen it. If any developer is reading this I want them to know that I’m on a 5th generation iPad using the latest iPad OS 14. Please fix this as soon as possible because I can’t possibly read anything on your app until something is done. And by the way, please implement double columns in landscape mode. Thanks. UPDATE: This observation may lead the developers to a fix. I couldn’t get Catherine Aird’s “The Calleshire Chronicles, Volume 3” in any of my other online libraries, so I was forced to use Freading. When I try to increase the font size, only the chapter name and number increase while the main text remains the same. I hope this leads to a solution. Please, please fix this!

### ***-- "app crashes, and needs some updates"
The app crashes whenever you delete a book/file from your library. Also, I wish it was possible to sync non-library files between devices.
-- 00A007, 2023-10-27

### *---- "Freading is Useless on iPad"
I don’t know why my library even has this service. I have tried repeatedly to check out and download Books to my iPad, and I have never had success with it.
-- Cincinnati denizen, 2023-10-12

### *---- "Not accessible"
Red text on a dark red background is woefully inaccessible to basically anyone. Impossible to tell what the icons are with no way to change the color scheme. Definitely does not meet US ADA compliancy. Not sure how public libraries are getting away with using it.
-- Daisygirls, 2023-09-17

### ***** "So pleased"
FREADING is just what busy readers are looking for. Books at your fingertips with no waiting. Due to personal time constraints I’d prefer longer download times but overall am pleased with this opportunity
-- KimeeGG, 2023-09-06

### *---- "Worst app ever"
Seeing the review rating for this app makes me feel like I am a part of some practical joke that hasn’t yet been revealed to me. It is hands down the most poorly developed, unusable, horrible piece of garbage I have ever used. I’d rather read a book infested with bed bugs than try to navigate this horrendous app because then I could at least read an actual book. As a developer I am dumbfounded to how the App Store approved this as it is completely unusable. Everyone involved with this should be embarrassed.
