Pretty disappointing. ### 1/5 — Used to love *2020-09-10, version 4.1.5* Used to love this app. Now, nothing will load. Every book says "Rendering" for hours. Nothing ever happens. Book never loads. ### 1/5 — Renderização eterna *2020-07-12* Além de não funcionar mais, ainda puseram anúncios. Comprei o App no início de seu lançamento como incentivo e esta aí a retribuição. ### 1/5 — Rendering not working *2020-06-23, version 4.1.5* Books aren’t rendering properly the prerequisite 20 seconds to 2 minutes needed before reading are far-fetched as they don’t hold up for any amount of time. I don’t see any update coming any time soon as the developers haven’t had one for over 4 years. Don’t download, there’s better alternatives. Also the 5-star reviews on this app are trying to dupe you into getting it. ### 1/5 — FreeBooks *2020-06-11* 不能下载书籍，请退款。 ### 1/5 — ? *2020-05-09, version 4.1.5* The app looks like a good source of books but after you download it have to re-render and doesn’t work anymore. It says it gonna take between seconds to 2 minutes but I let my phone the entire night at this page with the auto-block turn off and still don’t work. ### 1/5 — Utterly useless *2020-04-07, version 4.1.5* This used to be a great app then something has gone horribly wrong and when ever you select a book it just constantly spools. The ‘rendering’ should take 20 seconds to 2 minutes, we’ll it’s been 4 days now! Please, please, please fix this!!! ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-02-08, version 4.1.5* ...quite literally useless. After several attempts of between 10 & 30 minutes I am still waiting for a book to render. I can get the same book as a pdf on my browser ready to read in under 10 seconds! It is interesting to note that the reviews posted in the App Store are from 3 & 9 Years ago!!! ### 1/5 — Kel *2020-01-07, version 4.1.5* The books will not load! So frustrating. I used this app a lot a few years ago, read up on a few classics. Now I will have to search for something new. ### 1/5 — Books is NOT shown *2019-10-13* After download the book, the update starts and it doesn’t finish for 1hour. I tried to read some books, but it was same. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work! It’s useless! *2019-09-23, version 4.1.5* Try to download a book and the page spools endlessly as it’s being “rendered” so it can be read. Nothing ever happens . This is obviously somebody’s botched attempt at an “improvement “ on the original app which worked perfectly; I had quite a library of books on that one which have now all disappeared and cannot be retrieved. ### 1/5 — don’t waste your money. *2019-06-01, version 4.1.5* Can not download any book at all, don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Completely Broken *2019-04-17, version 4.1.5* This app has now completely stopped working and needs to be fixed. It jams at startup saying it is re-rendering the book, and never finishes. Tried to give zero stars, but can only post review of one star. ### 1/5 — it won’t play the books *2019-03-24, version 4.1.5* i have tried and tried and can’t get it to play. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2019-03-22, version 4.1.5* When I try to read a book it says it is rendering and can take up to 2 minutes. My book has been rendering for the best part of a week and I still can’t read it. This needs to be fixed because the App is worthless at the present. ### 1/5 — Failure of knowledge *2018-10-03, version 4.1.5* I attempted to download three books and it didn't work for me. ### 1/5 — ロード画面から進まず *2018-09-24* レビュー見てダメ元でインストールしてみましたが、案の定、書籍ダウンロード後のレンダリング画面のまま、全く読み込めません。 画面には20秒から２分かかるとありましたが、それ以上にずっと放置しても状況変わらず… 良さげなアプリなので、本当に残念です。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-08-31, version 4.1.5* This app doesn’t work at all. You pay money and then you just can’t download any books! Disappointed (((( ### 1/5 — It’s NOT Creating Account *2023-01-08, version 4.1.5* When you try to create an account the process is continuous trying to create the account but nothing happening. I’d paid the 99 cents but it’s not worth it since it never created my account. So I’d requested my refund the same day. ### 1/5 — *sigh*😤 *2022-12-13, version 4.1.5* Been trying to use this ever since, every time I update my phone, it never works can’t believe I have wasted my money on this 😡😫 ### 1/5 — ☠️ *2022-08-02, version 4.1.5* Abandonware. ### 1/5 — Outdated app *2022-06-29* It’s an outdated app doesn’t work anymore ### 1/5 — Paid but does not work iPhone 12 Pro *2022-03-14, version 4.1.5* I had this app years ago and although slow to download, I loved it. Downloaded App March 2022, paid for it…and it is basically USELESS. cannot get any books to read. I am glad I only WASTED $1.00 to pay for it. Disappointed. I recommend staying away from this app. Would give it ZERO STARS IF I COULD. ### 1/5 — It is a scam. Why apple let this happen *2022-02-08, version 4.1.5* Scam, don’t bother to install ### 1/5 — What happened? *2022-01-15, version 4.1.5* This used to such great app! For years I loved having so many books available, but now nothing. Argh!!! I have several novels and enjoyed. Now it won’t download anything. I feel like a chump trying to do so. Digital Press is not responding to obvious demand by the public for an update. There are a great many of us who would like to continue if they would let us. ### 1/5 — Don’t purchase *2021-10-26, version 4.1.5* Once you download the app and try to read a book nothing happens. Cant read any books on this ### 1/5 — MY PERSONAL LIBRARY *2021-10-24, version 4.1.5* I can’t get this app to work at all. Every time I try to use it it gives me an error message. Time to do it delete. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Selection (Does it still work?) *2024-11-03, version 4.1.5* This is(was) almost too good to believe. I love browsing through available books. So much good reading in a "nutshell." Note: I can’t seem to download books anymore. No update offered. (11/2024) ### 5/5 — Free books *2021-08-14, version 4.1.5* Used it for years. Now I can’t download or email a book to computer. Though I signed up to the app several times over last 10tears It looks like the pleasure of reading a “free” book is over. ### 5/5 — Absolutely the best book app! *2017-09-11, version 4.1.5* The best book app out there but hard to find on the App Store! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2017-06-20, version 4.1.5* The clue is in the title ### 5/5 — Great Option for readers of All Ages *2017-05-03, version 4.1.5* You can read about all sorts of stuff ,--. ﹤__) `- |________7 |`. |\ .--|. \ |.\--. / j \ `.7__j__\ \ ----- | o | (o)____O) | ---- \ / J \ / --- `---' `---' I use to ride 25 miles every weekend There really are books about the real life of football players | | | | | | L______J | () ,,,,,,,|,,,,,\\,,,,, \\ \\ 0 \\ /|\ ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, JL,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Like the great collage team LSU / \ _~~~_ ( ) _~~~_ / ___ \ \ / / ___ \ \ / \ \ / / \ / \ \/ / ﹤::::::> (\ _/ /^\ \_/) \__/ \__/ Romance ❤️ ﹎ ┈ ┈ ┈ ﹎ ﹎┈ ● o .﹎ ﹎ ┈ ┈ /█\/▓\ ﹎ ┈ ▅▆▇█████▇▆▅ Yea I still a good love story..,, Or something like it ... ### 5/5 — Free Books! *2016-11-28, version 4.1.5* This is great. I love reading these classics. ### 5/5 — After Dark *2016-10-19, version 4.1.5* Great book for bedtime or relaxing reading. ### 5/5 — Me gusta *2016-09-23, version 4.1.5* Un montón de libros antiguos, muy cómodo poder cambiar color de fondo y de la letra para la noche. ### 5/5 — Love this collection! *2016-07-21, version 4.1.5* If you like classics, this is the app for you. All those old-timey books and authors you've been curious about are all here. And because it's an app, it's super easy to read and it's with you all the time. Sure, we all have our favorite games to waste time while we're waiting at the doctor's office or bank, it feels a little better to "waste" time reading. I've discovered old authors I'd only heard about. It's great. ### 5/5 — Delivers what it offers *2016-05-13, version 4.1.5* Good selection of classics, and quite a variety of other titles as well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
