I've been trying out this app. it's pretty good except for a few minor things: when you go to delete book, it doesn't mark book as finished: still keeps it in the list sometimes when I leave the app & return I have to go look for my current book again. wish it would stay open to the book I'm on. Sometimes it ignores phone notifications in background but often it stops the book entirely. either let me choose ignore all or pause for notification & replay last 3 seconds like other apps do.

Thanks! Use ‘Recently Played’ sorting to keep your current book at the top. For automatic rewinds, enable ‘Smart Resume’ in Settings. Regarding deletion/notification issues, please email details to alex@xelafy.com. Which notifications cause stops? Are deleted books still in your synced folder? I'd love to investigate these edge cases with you!

"turns your scattered folders into a beautiful, unified library." But those folders are not necessarily "scattered", they may be a way of "organizing" books, for instance, into series. So all my efforts to organize books doesn't turn those folders into a "beautiful, unified library". It dumps them all into an ugly mess of a library, destroying all my work. There needs to be an option to maintain folder structures.

I'm sorry the app didn't meet your expectations. By 'scattered,' I meant books spread across different cloud and local storages. To keep your series organized, I recommend the 'Collections' feature, which lets you group books by series or author manually. Once you create a collection, you can long-press it to add books to the collection in bulk.

Overall great app but when attempting to add books from the cloud it crashes. Being able to take notes would be nice. I also wish it had a casting feature and customizable color wheels for the themes. Despite that for the cost it's great. I also noticed adding books from the internet archive keeps giving an error.

Thanks! Note-taking, casting, and custom colors are great ideas for the roadmap. To fix the cloud/Archive bugs please email alex@xelafy.com. Which cloud service failed? Are you seeing specific error codes? Does it help to keep the app in the foreground until the import is complete? I'd love to get these fixed for you!
