Ratings and reviews

It's really good for reading, but the current version crashes whenever I try to open Smashwords or Feedbooks. I can connect to the libraries and see their categories ("recent books", etc), but whenever I try accessing one of those categories Pocketbook immediately crashes. EDIT: Also, long-pressing or double-tapping books also causes the app to crash.

Edit: Not two days after I wrote this, everything on the app seems to crash. It I click the Home button - crash, I click Google Books - crash, I click library- crash. Nothing works... Not good... Original: I have recently started using Pocketbook as my primary reading app and I have to say, I've never used a better app than this. Just some small glitches (like setting the page colour to black does not change text colour to white, making everything black!) but overall, I love the features

It was good before, now it's great! I mainly use it to play audiobooks with a timer to fall asleep (The Witcher audio series is highly recommended). I've also read many books on this app, with custom setting for page color, auto scroll and brightness... Just what I was looking for and even better with the update. Thanks!
