Awful
Cannot believe I paid money for this useless very amateur effort.
Help
How do you close a book without closing the app?
Is there any help function?
So far, app is useless and a waste of money

Can't find sign in or locate library of stored books
Edited same day: ok I figured it out. I was on my old iPad when I wrote the review and there weren't any books. They are stored on the new iPad. I really regret my purchase as I can't sync them and would have to read each book on only one device or the other. The ads were very distruptive. Some are unobtrusive but ever so often a video will pay and loudly and disrupt my thoughts. So that is why I removed the ads. I couldn't evaluate it during the blaring interuptions. I hope the money let's the developer make some improvements. For now I am going to delete it and keep looking for something better.
Earlier:
i got a new iPad in 2021 and my old Gutenberg app wouldn't run on it. So searched on App store and and liked to format. Transferred over 7 books and played around with reading a couple. Decided to click on no ads and pay $4.99. It launched a new pro version app to download. Did that.
I don't see any way to sign in. I don't see any library in the old app or any way to open the two books I played around with or the other 5 that I didn't yet open.
Please consider a tutorial. The app says it can store up to 100 books but it doesn't explain how I can find the books I have "stored".
I would have hoped the non profit app would let me see the titles I have alreaded downloaded so I can search and add them to the pro app. Even better, I it would let me sign in and so the titles are available on the pro app. Or better yet, if the "no add" had removed the ad feature from the app I was in instead of requiring a second app to be downloaded.

Hi, Thank you for the purchase of the app. The PRO version and the Free version are 2 separate apps. They do not store the books in a cloud or a server, therefore you don't need to make an account or sign in. The books are store within each app, so the books do not share between each app.
Lousy
The original Project Gutenberg app was an excellent app, which provided access to the free books accessed by Gutenberg. This is a rip-off for-cost app which doesn’t provide all the books originally scanned and requires a second-rate google search engine to ‘maybe’ find others. Don’t waste your money.

Hi thank you for using the app. There is a "Project Gutenberg" tap at the top of the homepage. It will take you to the Project Gutenberg website, there you can select all their books. There also a tap for Smashword and Feedbook, they have more than a million books that you can choose from. Please try all the features. We also offer a free version of this app.
Why so quiet. Works like a charm.
Searches the web for book sites. Or searches Gutenberg books. Shocked how fast it searches. Just like audiobooks, it will read to you. I tried the free version immediately started using the fee based version.
