No pop up adds, font is great on iPad. Not sure why mine is different than the other reviews. I've read a good number of these books so far and am very, very happy. I read this best (by far) book I've EVER read with this app. Les Miserables. If the publisher of this great app screwed it up after I down loaded it - for the sake of great literature un f'n screw it. Please! ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2017-01-25, version 3.0.2* The selection is good. But you have to keep resizing the page in the screen to see it because the font is too small. And what's up with the adds that pop up without any notice or warning ????? How incredibly irritating! Stop it! All I am looking for is to read my classic book in peace..... ### 3/5 — 구매내역 삭제부탁드려요 ~ *2016-11-04* 구매내역 삭제부탁드려요 ~ ### 2/5 — Not working *2015-06-05, version 3.0.2* This app has amazing views but whenever I try to read something the writing is tiny. Double thumbs down!👎👎 ### 2/5 — Used to be good, not any more *2015-02-17, version 3.0.2* Pros: excellent selection of classic books, easy to navigate Cons: intrusive ads interrupt reading, take over the whole screen and also open your browser to an ad Summary: the previous version was far better. Give this one a miss and just download the books you want from Project Gutenberg (free and no ads). ### 1/5 — Loved it until update *2014-09-07, version 3.0.1* I loved this app. It was easy and clean with great classics. Now, with the update, it will not load. ### 1/5 — Still doesn't work with system 5.1. *2014-08-26, version 3.0.1* Please update the update. I used to like this app. ### 1/5 — Inutilisable *2014-08-24, version 3.0.0* Comme l'indique le commentaire précédent, la lecture est désormais fréquemment interrompue par des pubs qui occupent tout l'écran. C'est pire que de regarder la télé! ### 1/5 — Good app ruined by update and popups *2014-08-19, version 3.0.0* 8/19 Update still no way to contact developer! Today the app started download on its own. Major bugs! The only way I can load and read is to go back to App Store updates and open from there. Lost bookmark on what I was reading. Now very annoying POPUP ads that are a HUGE distraction, and take away from the pleasure of reading. Used to be a good read, now may have to delete. bTW the only way I found to communicate with developers is via Facebook. Too bad How do you contact for those of us that really detest Facebook??????? ### 3/5 — Latest upgrade a backward step *2014-08-16, version 3.0.0* I used to enjoy this app until the latest upgrade in 2014. Now one's reading is frequently interrupted by inane adverts. Plus, I cannot seem to change to day colors from night colors. All of which spoils an otherwise perfectly good app. ### 1/5 — Won't open. *2014-08-13, version 3.0.0* This was a brilliant app, but since the last update it simply refuses to open. Which is rather disappointing anyway, but especially so as I am half way through a book. ### 1/5 — USED to be great *2014-08-08, version 3.0.0* The old version, 2.0, was wonderful. I have no idea what the new version is like, because it won't open on my older device...which WILL NOT "upgrade" to ios7. PLEASE either issue a 'fix' to make it compatible, or post a link to revert to version 2.0. In the future, please either make 'updates' compatible with older versions, or make them where they will not install on older devices! This is possible, as other apps have done so. ### 2/5 — Good idea...if only it would work. *2012-12-15, version 2.0* I can't get it to work in any reasonable way...pages don't turn...page count is weird...I have seen others with the same issues. Please fix it as it's a good idea. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I had to delete *2019-03-02, version 3.0.2* I had to delete this app when the ads popped up several times when I finished each page trying to read 1984. Ironic? ### 1/5 — No iOS 11 update *2018-04-21, version 3.0.2* Please update to iOS 11 so that it’s usable. ### 1/5 — Update *2018-01-25, version 3.0.2* Hurry up with the update please! ### 1/5 — Wamp *2017-11-19, version 3.0.2* It needs to be updated for the current iOS system. I haven’t been able to read anything since I’ve updated and contacting the developers is too difficult. ### 1/5 — I want to cry *2016-09-16, version 3.0.2* Update killed the app. Now it won't load. Should have left it be. It was fine. Sometimes you shouldn't tinker where it isn't needed. August 26---wanted to say thank you but can't. Still won't open. Deleted and reinstalled. Nope. Oh well. ### 1/5 — 구매목록 삭제 부탁드려요 *2016-03-04* 구매목록 삭제 부탁드려요 ### 1/5 — Nice one Google *2015-07-09, version 3.0.2* What a shame. Have been knocking off this great collection of books for years. Last night was just finishing of Around the World in 80 Days when up pops this fricken Google ad. They then came about every 3 minutes. Full page- no way to stop them. The only option Google gave me was to stop sending browser info and then I would receive "random" ads. Hopefully can find elsewhere without Google. ### 1/5 — Update added ads *2015-03-22, version 3.0.2* Adds interrupt reading every few minutes with full page coverage which takes a while to remove. Will not use or recommend this app. Ever ### 1/5 — Absolute C@$&!!!!!! *2015-02-12, version 3.0.2* Aside from the incessant ad pop up that completely blocks the entire page (seriously dude?) and the fact that you have to constantly adjust and re-adjust the size to be able to read the page and the fact that you can't get the pages to turn and that the program freezes all the time, this is a great (sarcasm) app. Whoever created this is an imbecile. Good job dimwit! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-01-06, version 3.0.2* This app is horrible. Don't waste your time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — need to be update *2018-12-17* It’s a very nice app but the update is so long ago. Cannot use under new version ios. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2016-08-26, version 3.0.2* Beautifully designed and packed with great content. Really worth downloading. ### 5/5 — Lovely selection of classics *2015-01-06, version 3.0.2* This app pulls together a really well thought through selection of some of the best books in the English language in a very attractive interface. I am very surprised that there aren't more reviews here as it's a real find! Great app - and it's free!!!! ### 5/5 — Another great one! *2014-02-27, version 2.0* This is another app that I got for my wife's iPod....and really likes this one too! She's addicted....you will be too! ### 5/5 — Que de souvenirs!!! *2013-03-30* Un grand merci à Truong pour avoir mis à notre disposition tous ces grands classiques. Nous pouvons enfin les lire dans leur langue d'origine. Bonne continuation. ### 5/5 — Thanks very much! *2012-12-22* Nguyen Hoang Nguyen ### 5/5 — great app. no problem page turn *2012-10-05, version 2.0* i do not know why people are complaining about page turn. eaither click on page edges or flip from edge. i didnt face any problem in that. thanks for great app ### 5/5 — Very nice collection! *2012-06-26, version 2.0* -Turn pages by tapping the lower right side of the page and to go backward, tap the lower left hand side of the page. This app has a very basic and bare boned interface, but hey...it's free and truly has many great titles to enrich your mind and soul! I love to read and even though I've read many books that are considered 'classics', I still have many more books to read. I found a title on my wish list within the first 8 books. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2012-04-09* Bandes d'ignares! Pourquoi télécharger une appli comme celle ci si vous ne maitrisez pas l'anglais!? Et surtout pourquoi descendre une appli qui regroupe autant de chefs d'oeuvres gratuitement... Un "must have" pour ceux qui s'intéressent un peu à la littérature et qui comprennent l'anglais. ### 5/5 — Fast download, great collection *2012-02-25, version 2.0* So easy to download, only 4 minutes with a decent broadband connection (essential for any 165mb file). Incredible collection of books sorted alphabetically in an easy to use app. Can't understand all of the negative reviews, no 24 hour delay before being able to read the books, no 2 hour downloads, no problems at all. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
