Freading

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I set app up on my iPhone and downloaded a book. I had to try twice before it actually downloaded. Then I thought I’d be better reading it on my iPad and tried to download it there. By searching online it says you have to get tech support if a book has been downloaded more than twice but there is no link to get tech support. I also see no way to actually return the book soixante even return it and check it back out. Needs to be more user friendly.

Our country library uses Freading for ebooks. Worked wonderfully for several years but suddenly fails either to download or find downloaded books. Will delete app and not reload.

I’ve never had any issues with Overdrive and Libby but the ebook I want to borrow from the library is only available on Freading. So I went through the setup account deal for my library and verified the account. It will log me in on the website and it will let me see my title I borrowed in the app, but whenever I try to redownload it through the app (the only way I can figure out how to read it) it gives me an error I’m not logged in, even though it shows my account details. So I’m stuck in an infinitive loop and unable to read the ebook I checked out. I much prefer Overdrive. I guess I’ll just have to purchase this specific title since I can’t seem to access it through Freading. Please please please fix your app so that it functions.
