Can only sign in with a limited number if devices with no way to un register a device without emailing them. Also does not give me an option to remove the lite version after full version has been purchased. Would also like option to delete the audio option if it's already been downloaded. The app used to be perfect, now just seems sluggish and the start menu is cluttered with unnecessary stuff. Fix the opening menu and let me sign in with all my devices or at least choose which device I'm using!

This is not reliable. Three times now I wanted to use the guide but it did not open telling me i have to connect internet first. What out in the wilderness or in case of emergency when i have no connection? It's useless then! Update years later: still the same, from time to time login is needed. This is inacceptable. Something like this guide should be a downloadable book. Once you have it you are independent. But an app like this is not reliable.

Hello Thomas Hürlimann, you need to be connected to the internet only for the first launch of the app. This is necessary because of permissible app size in the Playstore. Once the content is downloaded, you will be able to access the content without need of internet. If you still face issues, contact us at support@papertrell.com

I bought this. It worked. I had to unload it to save space once. Now it won't reinstall. I contacted Google support. They tried everything they had. Nothing worked. I contacted the developers. They had me redo everything Google had me do. No results. They said it was a Google problem. They recently have put a large set of more expensive manuals on the market that seem to cover the same subjects. Hmmmmm...
