### 1/5 — Update

*2018-06-02, version 1.0*

Needs to be updated to work with iOS 11.

### 5/5 — Love your app

*2017-11-04, version 1.0*

I love your app. I’m just writing a review now because my phone is telling me to contact the developer of the app to update it to be able to run with iOS 11 as it is no longer compatible with my phone.  So that’s what I’m doing.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2017-08-20, version 1.0*

This app is easier to use compared to other EGW apps. There are some challenges synchronizing with others in my group when reading same book. Sometimes the chapter numbers do not line up. I just noticed that PK is missing chapter 25.
