Leave a Review Gutenberg Book Reader
Problematic
Insensitive to touch, difficult to maneuver, highlighted paragraph does not match up with the text being spoken, if the iPad is moved, the night lighting is undone and changed back to normal, author speaks clearly but with little affect and does not intone the dialogue as though people are speaking (also speeding up the audio does not do anything-maybe that's just for tts?) It's very clumsy. I regret buying the app.Show lessthereviewboard
Great App
This app is great. Gets better all the time. Really a good buy, and so many free classics to choose from.MeisterSteph

Buggy and clunky. Books fail to load.Trumpalar
Most elegantly designed book reader!
Have been using this app for many years now. Without any doubt this is the most elegantly designed book reader. It gives me the pleasure of holding a real book in hands and flipping the pages with my fingers.
I truly appreciate that the developer keeps updating this app, which always amazes me how they could recoup the cost of such a huge undertaking.
Thank you, developer.Show lesslife-time reader
Simply amazing
This little app is so easy to use. I typed in the search box 'beagle' I immediately found Darwin's beagle. It also recommended a list of audio books. I downloaded the text version. Then much to my surprise, I could listen to the text using a TTS voice, which I actually like. Now I am mixing reading and listening depending on my mood of the time. Simply amazing!Show lesstshua
best for reading gutenberg
Best for reading or listening to Gutenberg books. For $1.99 I get to use it for the last two years and I am sure many more years to come. Thank you developer for releasing so many new versions.waveheatin
waste.
waste of a buck. pointless, poorly programmed, poorly designed. just go download what you need from the Project Gutenberg site and open it in a real e-reader.All names taken.
Sorta works
You can read with this, sometimes without annoyance. Issues: (1) If you don't open the app for a while (overnight), the app forgets the book you were reading and page you were on unless you manually save it. (2) Way too easy to swipe to new chapter when swiping to new page. (3) Often refuses to advance to next page when images are on current page. Generally does not handle images well. (4) When you download a book from Bookshelves, app takes you back to home page and you have to climb back through the menu choices to load another book. (5) Too easy to trigger icons, covering up text.
None of these should be hard to fix.Show lessaskole
Dang
It does work, but try to understand how. Lousy job, to download a book means immediately start reading it, forget to go back to the page from which you downloaded, it won't happen soon.Hogtie go
