Ratings and reviews

Great idea, but there isn't a single news article in the whole app with German translation. It makes no sense that absolutely all news are in the same exact languages available but never in German or others. There is no variety, a language is either available for every single news article or in none.

I found the selection of books very good - plenty of Russian classics. Reading and sound quality excellent. There are plenty of options on the menu to adjust voice, reading etc. However, the app lacks a possibility of bookmarks, which makes finding the place where you leave off reading difficult. There is also no possibility to search within the text.

This is a very nice app, the exact same thing I was looking for. Just it would be very nice to have dark or sepia mode for reading.
