Ratings and reviews

I would've put more stars if there was A) more than 2 max on the exclude filter, and B) a better audio reader thing[It keeps closing if it either reads a 4 word paragraph or encounters a big paragraph]. Also, it sometimes takes a long time to load a story. Sometimes, I have to close the app and reopen it from my home screen in order to get it to load, and that's annoying because it happens often. 😡

When I first started using the app, it was great, however recently the app has become a buggy mess. Anytime I rotate my phone, it goes back to the first chapter, and sometimes, when I use the TTS function, it will cut out and show the loading animation. I will continue to use it, but it still needs to be fixed.

The app isn't.. Optimal. It's very convenient to use so you can read on the go or in a comfy place without the need for a laptop or PC, unfortunately it stops being convenient when it refuses to load things, it's a recurring problem I've seen and I've managed to ignore for the most part, but here I am writing a review because the stories I want to read can't even properly load. I do not care much for the looks of the app, the different functions and etc. I want to at least be able to read.
