Ratings and reviews

An excellent app, except for how much tracking of your behavior it does, which after a recent update is no longer easily turned off in settings. It also doesn't always want to start if the internet connection is poor, even if your books are stored locally. Otherwise, this app has made it easy for me to read more than ever before.

One crappy piece of junk! The settings are so basic as to be useles. No bookmarks ability. It often forgets where you where and starts somewhere a chapter back and offers no ability to advance except with a finger - slide and hope you find your place. No chapter list. I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. I'm going to try and find a way to to read my Kobo purchases on my Moon+ Reader. I'm done with this.

The app is technically terrible. It freezes and consumes data for no reason (I only used it to look up one single tourist guide. How does it manage to need 830mb for it?). One would have imagined that writing an e-book reader was a comparatively easy task, but this one is real trash. Incredible.

What’s new

We’ve rebuilt the app from the ground up to make reading and listening more seamless, beautiful, and intuitive than ever.

What’s new:
 • Guest Mode: Browse and preview books instantly, no account needed.
 • Listen Bar: Your audiobook controls, always within reach.
 • Faster checkout: Spend less time buying and more time diving into your next great story.

Happy reading!
