App has been very flaky. It also has annoying spelling mistakes ("fictions") in obvious places. Deciding to add a story to your favorites involves leaving the current page and hitting a button that doesn't make sense to me. Audio doesn't function properly: It doesn't register itself as a proper music source and so doesn't show up in Android Auto, and doesn't pause when, for instance, getting driving directions. Finally, the premium cost is way too high.

I enjoy being able to read through the stories and using this as a way to find more stories. Some things I would like to see implemented to the app would be better voices to choose from for when you have the app read to you, a way to hit next page and have the audio continue to read to you after hitting the next page instead of having to go back into the audio tab everytime, and I would like an easier way to use the app or another app that is made for authors to add/update/edit novels

they've fixed the constant log out issue, I love the app! Great app, love it use it every day but... It keeps logging me out, a lot, I have the app installed on my phone and I love to read on it, but sometimes it just shuts down, and then you have to log back in and it takes a good 5 minutes to get it running again. Not a big deal except it happens a lot, and you only get a couple chances to log in, and if you fat finger it you get locked out! Very frustrating.
