  • 🐛When you remove a bookmark, app crashes
  • 🐛Fix chapter jumps, app exits while browsing within a chapter

  • 🐛Выкидывает из приложения, не успев загрузиться
  • 🐛При выходе из приложения, возвращаясь к чтению, открывает стартовый экран, приходится снова илти в закладки и открывать нужный текст - неудобно...
  • 🐛Сегодня купила Приложение, но оно не работает, нет ни меню, ни текста, только обложка. ПО соответствует: 9.3.6. Прошу пояснить в чем дело и как исправить ситуацию?
  • 🐛Good except the app crashes when the search function is initiated. iPhone 7+not yet the option of seeing the first edition text. If this was an option, this app would be spotless.
  • 🐛Crashes after latest update
  • 🐛It ain't opening
  • 🐛This app eats battery power for lunch and the search option doesn't work. Still waiting for a long overdue update.
  • 🐛Text in search box is not visible
