Ratings and reviews

Just a HORRIBLE app from beginning to end. Highlighting doesn't work accurately and most times it selects the entire page instead of just a portion of the text. If I click a link to go to the glossary there's no option to go back to the page. When read aloud option is enabled if I have to stop for any reason it restarts at the beginning of the page. I can only advance 10 words at a time?!-also can't advance to the next page with the arrows or text box.

Update: The Android version now has the read aloud feature but the app doesn't fit the screen correctly. In order to go to the next page, or use any of the buttons at the bottom of the app, I have to turn my phone so the orientation swaps. Additionally, I downloaded a textbook to eliminate the insane loading time, but it made no difference. I still wait 4 or 5 minutes for initial loading... if I catch it on a good day. If I have to wait more than 10 minutes, I give up.

Frustrating and time wasting. It times you out almost immediately especially when you move to another app and the worst of all, you can't pick where you want to start your audio without the app forcing you to the beggining of the chapter and sometimes you have to reinstall the app for it to work. Yes, it allows you to read the book despite these shortcomings but definately, there is room for improvement
