Things were going pretty well for a while. I was almost ready to upgrade my rating. But since a recent app update, when I open a book that has already heen downloaded and I've already been reading, it keeps me waiting for a long time with a blank screen before it shows me the text. And when I try to exit the app, the back button repeatedly does nothing. It just waits a while to close. Really annoying.

I absolutely love this app! It is so well thought out, and it looks and performs great. It makes reading super convenient. There is one problem I have with the app though. When highlighting words within a book and clicking define or search, the menu will pop up briefly and then immediately disappear. I will change my review to 5 stars if this is fixed because you deserve it. Keep up the amazing work!

I feel I had more control and options with overdrive, I remember being able to change the font colors. This would be extremely helpful for me as I do most of my reading at night. I've had to download other apps and also use the phones settings to keep from messing up my circadian rhythm. I've gotten it pretty dark with these combined methods but I could really use some red colored font. Help please? With this one feature added, Libby would be an amazing 5 Star app! Thx!
