Ratings and reviews

I had originally posted this review comment: "I can read the purchased text but I'm not a fan of only scrolling and not having a page turn option. Also, I wish this had a bookmark or search feature. Notation function would be great also." But, the Glassboxx Help folks have me a different version of the text quicky and everything works great. Thanks!

Absolutely worthless on my Android device. I tried repeatedly and worked closely with Glassboxx support, all to no avail. I do have to give Glassbox tech support for being responsive and friendly -- they just couldn't identify and address my problem. I am now using the App without issue on an Apple device.

Purchased a .PDF for which this app is the only mechanism for viewing (ID Handbook of European Birds). Sad to say it doesn't work on my android mobile phone (Samsung S24 Ultra), reporting that "The PDF is too large to be rendered on this device." Reviewing various forums, I've realised I'm not alone. Many others that have purchased this particular .PDF publication are experiencing the same problem!
