Ratings and reviews

Just a HORRIBLE app from beginning to end. Highlighting doesn't work accurately and most times it selects the entire page instead of just a portion of the text. If I click a link to go to the glossary there's no option to go back to the page. When read aloud option is enabled if I have to stop for any reason it restarts at the beginning of the page. I can only advance 10 words at a time?!-also can't advance to the next page with the arrows or text box.

IF it opens, it works "okay." It's mindblowimg to me the technology used for this app seems so behind in comparison to some of the academic text sites. Although I appreciate the availability of the text in audio form, it's a 50/50 shot if it's going to open and work, not give me issues in the first 10 minutes. There is no background player, good luck if your in the middle of something getting back to without a headache. Check other audiobook platforms. Use this app as the last resort.

This is the most infuriating reader app I've encountered. It constantly says I'm offline if I switch to another app, which forces reloading of your text. Which highlights that The text isn't saved locally in its entirety for you to read offline. The read aloud feature constantly starts from the beginning of the section and resets after being "offline". The app doesn't smooth scroll. The search feature is horrendous as well. Tons of poor development choices and it was mandatory for my classes.
