Nice selection of texts, cleanly presented. Nice dictionary look up feature. Translations seem to have a few odd artifacts, from dictation perhaps? A little more navigation within texts might be a possible future development?

Thank you! Yes, I definitely plan to add navigation within the texts, specifically a table of contents.

Not bad, except when one turns the page by mistake. There's apparently no going backwards in the text, even when one skips twenty pages or more. Uninstall and reinstall.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having difficulties with turning the pages! You should be able to tap the right side of the reading view to go backwards in the text. If you still have problems, please contact me directly (email listed on the app details page) or log a bug on the Github page (https://github.com/telpirion/ClassicsReader/issues).
