Ratings and reviews

You do realize that locking mobile on is sometimes a sign of spyware? A problem you wouldn't expect or suspect with a library thing. It is concerning and many of us use free wifi or that from our non mobile internet plans. Please fix it. Otherwise I'm tempted to uninstall something I find otherwise quite useful. I've uninstalled other apps that lock mobile on as possible spyware. 99% of my apps on my phone don't lock mobile on in data settings.

This app is terrible. It is sorely outdated. I was rarely successful in listening to audiobooks or reading ebooks because the app would malfunction.

Good design, but soooo slow. Often have to close and re-open the app to get it to actually load.

What’s new

Added support for 16 KB memory page size for Android 15+ to meet Google Play requirements.

Fixed persistent loading spinner when tapping “View all” in My Events.

Back button on system messages now works correctly (no app closure).
