Ratings and reviews

when I try to open a .txt file, there is no suggestion to open it with different applications. There must be a list of apps, including Cool Reader, which can open a .txt file. Such a list does not pop up. The file opens straihgt away with Microsoft Word. What can be done?

Is there a way to lock the settings when you change them? Nearly every time I turn the page while using this app, the settings accidentally change, ie. the margins change, the font changes, the line spacing changes, etc., and it's very aggravating. How can I lock in the settings once I'm changed them to what I want?

Why not external SD card access? I think it's a bit better than older one just same problem with sd cards here on android 7... Hope for the proper fix sooner. And if it's possible the book cover to be changed to optional.
