User reviews

Interesting but overpriced

The app itself is good, the only real complaint is the monthly price, but unfortunately that overshadows the whole app.

Actually Worth It!

The fact that you can actually import your own books makes the app worthwhile on its own. The built-in focus mode is the icing on the cake.

Love this 5hit

I genuinely hope this app stays as is. If the files we upload can improve better side by side pages even better but I love this app. Thank you for opening my eyes again. 🥲

Great! I wish I could use kindle

Most of my collection is kindle or Libby. The focus on this app is great. Wish I could use it for my whole collection

BEST APP EVER

I love to read, especially on my phone.

This app has helped me read with a clear mind, not having to worry about other distractions on my phone!!
