reading instructions after finding URL

I'll update this review sometime after I open the app for the 1st time, which could be a while since I don't often have sufficient access to Wi-Fi.
Just want to comment Re: reading the instructions and Re: finding the URL (Web address).

I am using A Braille Sense U2, 32-cell display, Perkins-style braille keyboard in Terminal for Screen Reader mode and VoiceOver on my iPad. I have a little bit of experience with reading parts of a few books in an app for the blind/physically handicapped on my iPhone SE, but the delay when scrolling is frustrating enought it's easier to download the book to the Braille Sense to read outside of Terminal for Screen Reader mode.

The way that the app description in the App Store is layed out: It's very helpful that the grade levels have extra spacing to make it quicker for me to scroll through the app description to find the incorrect Web address.
The fact that it's the incorrect URL is why I originally gave 1 star before finding and reading the app instructions.

Thank goodness there's a dedicated App Support button in the App Store to go to the correct Web address.

The instructions are very well written. There are a very few minor problems, which is part of why I'm giving a rating of 3 stars. 1 example is that under Feedback > Hardware Keyboards , VoiceOver has the char of character at the end of 1 item and the acter of character at the beginning of the following item (I'm not a speedy braille reader, so I tend to read Web pages with VoiceOver speech, moving item by item).

A few more comments:
THE FAQ is good, but it mentions that this app will be available in 2018 in the place where I found the app today (at the end of 2019).

Re: Changing Auto-Lock and, as the instructions point out, remembering to turn it back on:
I prefer when apps, such as the reading app I mentioned above and a few GPS apps for the blind, have a setting to keep the device
from locking while I'm using the app; then it's really easy for me to get back to using the default Auto-Lock setting by using the Home key (including using VO-h on a QWERTY keyboard or chord-h on the Braille Sense in Terminal for Screen Reader mode).
Of course, if the FAQs are slightly out of date, maybe I'll find, when I actually use the app, that the Auto-Lock feature issue is already handled better. than the instructions suggest.
