### 5/5 — Best option for reading Bookshare books as a Blind person

*2026-08-13, version 2026.03*

I started using this app when my VoiceDream appr which I was using for my BookShare books  kept crashing. Using this app I easily accessed my bookshare account and books. I’m talking about the free version. I don’t do anything else with the app but I really only have this one purpose. I know it can do a lot more, and I really appreciate that even for free I have full access to my books, that it’s not truncated in any way. I also found it easier to navigate than BookShare’s own app. So, for Blind users, I highly recommend getting this app, even if it’s just to use as backup. It’s really nice to have a basic tool that really works that the developers have made available for free, for which I am very grateful.

### 5/5 — Bête humaine

*2026-07-01*

J'utilise Éole c'est vraiment bien même s'il manque des livres des classiques français de Zola Tel que la bête humaine

### 1/5 — Bug

*2026-06-01*

À chaque MAJ tous les livres disparaissent, ça devient franchement pénible

**Developer response:** Hi Arore0701, thank you for reporting this issue and for sharing your feedback. I can confirm that we’ve included a fix for this problem in the latest update. This should prevent your books from being lost and allow you to continue reading right where you left off.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Open

*2026-03-26, version 2026.01*

I just downloaded it and it keeps loading. It doesn’t open.

### 5/5 — It is the most beautiful place to read in

*2026-03-14, version 2026.01*

It is the most beautiful place to read in

### 3/5 — Useful but several issues for VI

*2026-01-09, version 12.04*

No dark mode, can’t Bluetooth to Alexa,  no ‘End of chapter’ option on sleep timer.  RNIB book cover often disappears.  I have my phone on high brightens as vision impaired, so when the book cover disappears and lack of a dark mode option it’s blinding. Still, saves money on Audible.

### 2/5 — Brilliant but flawed

*2025-12-10, version 12.03*

I am partially blind and listen to books a lot, sadly they done allow 0.95 or .09 for slower reading or slightly faster . You can’t customise for longer the sleeper for longer than an hour . It does the basics but it’s a shame they don’t consider these options as standard for veterans

### 2/5 — works but needs improvement

*2025-08-03*

the tts voice for daisytext/ence-books sucks, its robotic and specially by today's hyperhuman sounding voices with AI. reading with voiceover doesn't work well because of the app's navigation system with e-books. other than that, audiobooks and all work well, but every screen no matter whether it feeds from a source like bookshare or not, takes time to load like an app from the 2000s.

**Developer response:** Hi Shreybhatt, thank you for your review and feedback. The speech output of DAISY books can be customized to meet your needs with the use of our premium synthesizers or using the books built in human narration. Would you be able to contact us at inapp@yourdolphin.com to gain further information so that we can help resolve your issues?

### 5/5 — Merci

*2025-06-13*

Bonjour, merci, j’ai 69 ans, atteint de la maladie de Leber (maladie génétique, néphrite optique) à l’âge de 27,ans, je n’arrivais plus à lire (trop fatigant, trop long avec une loupe), vous m’avez permis de retrouver « la lecture »,un très très grand merci à vos lecteurs, Christian

**Developer response:** Hi LOSC MON CLUB, thank you for sharing your story, it's great to hear how EasyReader is helping! If you have any specific feedback for the app, please let us know in an email to inapp@yourdolphin.com where we can consider your suggestions!

### 2/5 — I hate the new interface.

*2025-06-12*

I hate the new interface.  It's so large that the sleep timer is almost off my phone screen.  The old one was much better - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

**Developer response:** Hi BerengariaOfNavarre, thank you for your review and we are sorry you are having this issue. Would you be able to email inapp@yourdolphin.com with details of the device experiencing this issue as buttons being partially off screen is rather bad for the usability of the app on the device(s) where this occurs
