    I ended up deleting the app because my school isn't in it. I wanted to have it because I love reading, but most ebooks cost money.

    I haven’t looked very hard but two series that I have read don’t have all the books. For example, the scarlet rose. All they have is book 2 and 3 but there are 5 books! I like this series but I can’t read it all. I don’t even know how it started!

  • Pretty Good but…

    I like this app, it is really good but I don’t know if it is my phone or the app, but nothing is loading in on it. I open the app because my dad has my real books, and nothing is loading in. I don’t know if it is the app or my phone but I hope it gets fixed. Other than that, this app is really good!
