Pileup

This app crashes all the time! Needs some serious work done.

Amazing

I have used this app for years and it’s great

won”t scroll

this product won’t scroll and freezes man to get a full page on my phone it had to be tiny

Not working

I purchased a book paying $65 and it doesn’t play like it should. Can’t listen to you at all. Try to contact costumer services but the call doesn’t work.

Unable to Cast in HD

When trying to cast titles to any TV, it only plays it in below SD quality. Cannot even be watched. Contacted the app developer for assistance, and got no reply. Very bad!

Mediocre reader

Mediocre player. I really wish the content I am reading was on a different app. The controls are non-intuitive and it is practically impossible to annotate or highlight from the iPhone. Bookmarks? forget it, just plain impossible to use. No wide view. Ugh.

Twitchy reader app

Really difficult to enlarge type, highlight text, etc. the whole thing quits very easily, interrupting reading progress.

Crashes

Worked for a day. Crashes every time now.
Deleted.

No longer works on Apple TV

Well, you finally got it on Apple TV and it worked well for a while. Now all I get after logging in is a white screen.

Great app

I use this for protecting my books as digital downloads and its worked great so far

Brief Rewind/ffwd Audio Control

The app does fine playing the audio lecture I’m listening to if all you need is play and pause. However, if I happen to miss something that was said, I have to slide back the progress bar to go back which is clumsy and a pain. Here’s a simple fix for Flux… add a back 30 seconds button and a forward 30 seconds button! Make it easy like virtually every other audio app in 2024.

The new

Great job luxe what a Vue

App continues to improve

The performance of this app continues to improve. Reliability is getting better for readers using the app. It does need to get better at serving readers, however.
It finally incorporated note-taking, which is nice. But competing apps better support a scholarly readership, by allowing the export of succinct notes, with associated citations. This is important to someone who reads to write about what they read and well with the bounds of respect for copyright. It’s not an offense to copyright to quote or to use one’s own notes written in one’s own words. And auto citation with notes extraction actually would promote respect for copyright.
I haven’t used the app much to play videos, but my few times doing so have worked OK.
I have used this app with Apple’s tvOS to play video, and that worked out fine for me at the time.
Most of the time I use the app to read ePub and PDFs on iPhone or iPad and that has worked for me.
I’m looking forward to the app supporting font embedding, so that ePUB ebooks I read can look as good in FluxPlayer as they do in Apple Books, for example. Even if font embedding isn’t supported, a good starting point would be to let readers select from a collection of open source serif, sans serif and mono spaced fonts.
Finally, I’d like to see app notifications convey more information when content is added to my collection. I’d like to know what has been added when it is added.
In time the app preferences for what can be auto-downloaded versus downloaded on demand versus just streamed could be made better. Users with access to large collections of content might, for example, want one category of content or one subscription to auto-download, but to receive a notification (with information) about other content, and downloading it on request.
The all or nothing proposition now offered is not that convenient. There may be some content you want to know can be available to you any time you are not connected to the Internet, and you don’t want to have to think to download it. Podcast apps have mastered these sorts of controls.
I also use FluxPlayer app on Mac. Most of my comments here apply to that version of the app, as well.

Horrible Stability

The app is so unreliable. Once I verified my content and downloaded it I should not have to constantly validate a connection with the app. Do I really own the content, hmm perhaps not with how the app is unconditionally awful.

Crash monster

Crashing when trying to open. Any content provider using this is way, way behind. I can’t get to my purchased content and will abandon it at this point.

Why?

Why any content producer would specify this reader is beyond me. Total garbage, klunky interface. How to get my documents out of this? Anyone know?

Highlighting

When trying to capture/highlight text, it keeps advancing to a different page or it loses the capture.
very frustrating.

I would give it no stars

This app is worthless. I downloaded it for one thing and it won’t play. Every time I try it freezes. I have deleted and reinstalled and restarted my phone and nothing works. I will have to purchase the item again on a different platform because I cannot take the frustration.

Frustrating and Clumsy

This is the worst reading app i have ever used. The highlighting function is impossible to work correctly, the pages randomly reset, the books take a long time to open, the annotation features are clumsy. In short: i hate it.

Awful windows program

I had to use this app to access a document for Science Olympiad.
On my windows PC, the program accepted my login and acquired a license but won’t let me download anything. It just gives me an error message that says “OK” along with an OK button. Well, no, not OK.
