I had high hopes for this app. my daughter is dyslexic and audio books are a must. The voice is so digital sounding it is hard to understand and it doesn't actually read some of the words correctly. Also the word highlighting is faster than the voice so it's not actually reading what it is highlighting.

Hi Cari. Thank you for sharing the feedback. We will look into this issue. Could you please send an email to mobilereader@benetech.org with the book's name? We apologize for the inconvenience!

Love the app and how responsive the devs are. I don't know if this has already been suggested, but I would totally give a five star review if there was a way to categorize books. Like a real library. One last thing, I've seen photos with some books, i.e....the front and back cover. Is it possible to include photos that come with the book, like in an autobiography. Specifically where the author has included important photos over their lifetime.

Huge step backwards from Go Read app. This does not feel like a "1.02" release, but rather a pre release or testing release. There is no search within book, no page turning, only scroll. Bookmarks say "coming soon". The "search for a great book" is only a title search. The only thing I found so far that it can do that Go Read can not is changing reading speed without having to change system reading speed. That is nice. But for me, this is not ready for actual use yet.
