Ratings and reviews

The only reason I even use this app is because of some free audio books I was given that only work on this app. I listen to my books sped up, but it doesn't save which speed I was at. So I have to reset it each time. It will often erase all my progress and start the whole book over again. Sometimes I have trouble getting the books to even play, even when I have them downloaded. Lots of bugs that they need to work out. Until that happens, this app will never be my primary go to for audio books.

The reader does not work with poor or nonexistent wifi. It is impossible to find the magic "button" to turn the page without accidentally highlighting something instead, or bringing down the menu. When trying to get rid of said menu, I frequently go back a page, or to the table of contents. It usually takes me a day or two to read a book. It has taken me over two weeks with the book I'm currently reading, and I am only at 30%! This app needs a redesign, stat.

This is the worst reading app I've ever used. It doesn't behave right. If I open up a menu (for notes, font size, etc.) I can't find a way out without tapping a back arrow. When I do that, it sends me back to the cover page at the beginning of the file. Combination books and books with a lot of graphic freeze the app. I have dozens of books on Glose - freebies from my employer - but I'm going to give up on this app. I've tried to like it, but it's terrible.
