Ratings and reviews

Content and selection is good. I enjoy reading from the numerous options. One inconvenience is the highlights and bookmarks do not stay put. When I want to save my spot for next time. I place a bookmark, so I can pick up where I left off, only to find it missing next time I read. I also like to highlight certain good points, but those disappear too. So inconvenient and annoying.

I absolutely love this app. Great inspiration at one's fingertips. It has a great number of options for highlighting, note taking, referencing, search...I have hardly scratched the surface. The only thing I have not discovered...is how I can remove a highlight. I like to color code my topics, and once in awhile, I would like to change a choice to a more appropriate choice.

A great app for personal study! I just wish the search functions weren't so specific and would be able to find something when you can't quite remember the wording used. It also needs some improvement on how to access the audio functions, both to start listening and to be able to skip ahead or skip back 10 or 15 seconds during playback or to be able to slide to a specific spot in the track. Also, it has been crashing a lot lately and the last two items available in the library refuse to download.
