Ratings and reviews

Worst app 1)Help section does not make navigation any easier 2)The app is so unpopular no one even presents a solution neither the official website nor individuals online 3)If it works,then it works if it doesn't it just doesn't no matter i do 4)the app interface is pretty simple but either the features are unresponsive or frustratingly ambiguous

"Using this was like navigating through a maze designed by someone with a vendetta against usability. Its clunky interface, missing features, and performance issues make it the perfect app for anyone looking to test their patience and resilience – just be sure to pack a survival kit of frustration."

Great app. For those who don't know we can highlight texts in this app(select the text and tap bookmark icon, leftmost icon).we can also add additional notes about selected text. This app also gives access to in-app dictionary(select the text and tap second icon from left, first time we have to download the dictionary data, app itself will refer to play store). Tap a word for a second to select it. Works on horizontal scrolling mode.
