Ratings and reviews

I love having access to all her books and I really like all the tools that come with this app. The only thing I would recommend upgrading is the audio reading. It sounds like an ai woman and it makes it hard to stay focused while listening due to her plain tone it's almost like listening to the dry eye commercial back in the day. Also being able to control the speed of the audio would be nice as well. And having an option to allow the audio to skip verses and references to other books.

As far as I am concerned, this app if significantly inferior to the previous one. The menus are far less simple and moving from chapter to chapter in a book is infuriating. I find that what was simple and easy in the previous version couldn't be made more difficult than it has been in the new. Too bad.

v7.0.1 is really, really good. I just upgraded a few days ago, and all the previous complaints appear to be addressed. (I haven't been able to test the sync between multiple devices in a while, so no comment on that...) I do have a new gripe, though: I used to be able to make and copy a huge selection, with the URL, without issue. Now, it copies a subset of the selection, adds ellipses, and the full URL. I would really like an option to restore the previous behavior, even if not the default.
