Ratings and reviews

The app isn't as bad as most people here have described it as from my point of view have been using it for school purposes & it's been pretty decent hasn't given me any problems to be honest the only thing that is a little annoying is when it skips chapters randomly sometimes/when I accidentally skips certain chapters, otherwise not many problems with the app the one thing that I absolutely love about it is the Highlight feature as well as the Flashcard feature both are very useful.

Dear God Almighty! This is one of the worst ebook apps here. I couldn't find the textbook on Kindle and was forced here. It's uinintuitive, a small sideway swipe will move you chapter to chapter then you have to find your page back into the book again. Search function won't find keywords inside the actual chapters, just the title chapter. Can't zoom in pictures or diagram either. What's the point? Why? Awful interface.

I'm being nice with 3 stars. This still has glitches and cuts off when I use the audio to read aloud and closes. Then I won't let me continue from where it cut me off. Also happens if I CHOOSE to end my reading aloud, and dont save the Book mark. I now find myself repeating pages I read before, which is very frustrating.
