## Umsizi Reader Reviews in South Africa

### ***-- "Not yet ready for mainstream use"
I understand the idea behind the app. I appreciate the effort. The problem is that there are too many bugs. For example, sometimes the app would lose your place in a book. Since there is no way to fast forward quickly enough through the book, except for the previous and next sentence buttons, it is very hard to get back to your place. Sometimes, also the voices stops working. This means that, no matter what you do, the app will not read to you. It is my believe that this app is not ready for mainstream use just yet however, keep up the good work. This is a one of a kind app.
