## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 下载了。打不开书，无法阅读

*2025-10-31*

下载了。打不开书，无法阅读

**Developer response:** 抱歉，服务器当时出了点问题，已修复

### 1/5 — Nothing happens.

*2023-08-15*

I tried to find your support page. I couldn’t and that’s why I’m doing this in reviews.

Is there something other than the app that I need to install before it starts working? I can’t select any books or articles. I appreciate your help with this.

**Developer response:** Sorry, for certain language pairs, book selection was limited. In recent 2.0 publish, LLM translation is introduced and if you can give it a try, it should be a lots better.

### 3/5 — Good, could be better

*2024-04-22*

The dictionary is very poor, but otherwise the concept is excellent

**Developer response:** We updated the dictionary to use LLM to provide dictionary with context. Hope you'll lke it.

### 4/5 — Useful and simple

*2026-04-19*

I’m enjoying using the app. The recent dictionary update has been improved with context specific definitions. This is likely book specific but for my use cases it’s much better. The UI is simplistic but works. The added narration voices are much better as well but not totally natural.

### 4/5 — Details

*2022-12-16*

This app is great and I love that it is free! However, I wish the voice that reads aloud was a bit smoother and overall just better sounding. Additionally, The taskbar could be a bit better. If the app would allow you to keep your phone facing one way, rather than having to rotate your phone that would be helpful. Lastly, It would be great if you could search for specific book titles.

### 5/5 — Amazing for learning Spanish

*2026-06-26*

This is exactly what I have been looking for in having English and Spanish side by side.  The reader is really helpful to hear how the Spanish words are pronounced.  Ipad version is much easier to navigate than android phone version.  Love books are already built in.  I can’t believe this is free, I would happily pay for this app to make language learning way more real and useful than many other apps on the market. Thank you for creating and sharing! Would love OpenDyslexic font option as well.

### 5/5 — 美中不足

*2022-04-17*

夜间模式时纯黑背景上的白字其实非常刺眼。希望更换柔和的背景和字体颜色。或者至少能够方便的关掉夜间模式。

### 5/5 — A hidden Gem

*2021-10-26*

😩🙏🏿🙏🏿
Have been looking for this kind of quality for a while, I think the name hides it
