A Great App - until last few updates
I have been using this app for years now. Its been great. Just wanted to write this review as i am facing an issue in it now after latest updates.
The skip to next/previous buttons no longer work as they used to. Is this some issue or the functionality has changed?
Can’t import a folder
Keeps crashing when i try to import multiple files. I have to import about 300 files to mark exams and it can’t do that. Also apparently it doesn’t get books from iCloud.
Not downloading books from the iCloud
My iCloud sync is on for this app however when I open the app all my books say not available syncing with iCloud and it has been more than a half an hour and not a single book is available please fix this problem thank you
Great app for the blind for their reading materials.
This app has increased my reading pleasure manifold. If you are an avid reader, you got to have it.
Waiting for Ivona Kendra US Voice
This app is superb ebook reader. Happy to see Ivona voices. But disappointed not to find Ivona Kendra voice. Am waiting it to be added. Features like speed reading, converting and exporting audio file of books( as part like a highlighted para or page or chapter or full), epub with picture support, epub with hyperlinks for inparagraph notes, and formatting options for epub and pdf books like justify etc and generations of summaries of books on names, dates or events context would make this app an absolute must. Hope developer will heed.
