Nice and simple scrolling

Update: after an app update I does not keep track of my current position and in stead start me at the beginning of the current chapter. So any time you leave the app or start another book it loses your place. There does not seem to be a way to navigate to manual bookmark positions

I used to use iBooks with the scrolling view but after a terrible update iBooks scroll became unusable(super janky and constantly loosing your page). I tried many reader alternatives and this is by far the best experience. It's UI is a little weird but it stays out of the way for the most part. Much better then iBooks ever was

Sounds good...

Until you download the app and there are no instructions on how to actually use it.

Review of full version

Used to love it until one day, landscape disappeared. Wrote to help desk- no response, can’t figure how to get it back. The full version states it has landscape.

OK for reading - BAD for notes

Came here for auto scroll but disappointed by how the note taking is handled. This app could use serious update:
Sharing/Copy/pasting text only results in pasting the cover image of the book in your text document/email.
If you stay within the app, it works alright but then it gets hard/impossible to organize your notes when you’re a writer doing research etc and need to move your text around.
If you dont need anything else than reading, maybe that app is for you.

Zero Support
