Ratings and reviews

The app takes forever to do a search to the point where it will stall out and show a blank screen. And you have to get the title or author exactly correct or it won't find anything at all, much less results of similar name. **Came back to reduce from 3 to 2 stars. After I pause the book, more often than not I have to press play 2-4 times to get it to work. Sometimes I have to close the app entirely. This is especially irritating when I'm using ear buds bc my hands are busy.

I wish the app had better listening controls, such as to stop playing at the end of the chapter rather than a # minute count. Doesn't make sense when listening to a book. I also wish when reading a book in scroll format it didn't stop at the end of a chapter then just jump into the next. When I'm scrolling I want to smoothly move through the book and place the text in an optimal reading zone on the screen.

This app has a lot of improvements to be made. 1. Users should be able to rate a book so that others can quickly decide if they want that book or not. It's tiring having to Google each book to see how many stars before choosing to read it. 2. The method of searching is ridiculous. Most times, the search returns, "no title match this criteria...". When searching for an author, you have to type in their last name first, then add a comma (,) then their first name.
