Ratings and reviews

The formatting of the buttons when I'm in a book make it impossible for me to access the read aloud or font options as they're underneath the home buttons. The bottoms at the top are nearly as bad because of how they're placed with the notifications bar. There's also no way to report this feedback in the app.

I like that the tool reads without having to manually advance the page. I like the option to increase or decrease the speed. I do find moving to a SPECIFIC paragraph or sentence is impossible, which is extremely frustrating. I have also found that if your phone "goes to sleep" the reader immediately starts pausing between sentences. fairly long, definitely noticeable pauses. So I have to keep my phone "awake" to avoid that. This would be perfect if not for those two functionality issues.

the bottom and top button rows are on the same level as my os system stuff. I literally cannot tap the buttons for the table of contents, speech to text, text size, or bookmarking, because that's where my systems back, minimize window, and home buttons are. I cannot 'x' out of an image because that's where my system time is. Im a software qa who has worked on apps for almost a decade and this is, like, comically bad
