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
Bought app, had a problem, multiple tries to get in touch with support, was ignored.
App Support?
I can’t get the dyslexia font to work. When I went to try to contact support, I was just redirected to their page with no info on how to contact support. I was really excited to use this app because of the font.
Best ebook reader
It is easy to switch color modes and change text sizes. I love the auto scroll.
Perfect for me
I was looking for a reader that can handle Gutenberg Project books by verticals scrolling. I read on my iPad, have had cataract surgery and require 3.5 readers. I have problems with only the center of my glasses being in focus- the rest of my screen is not a clear- so I prefer verticals scrolling. I can keep my eye focused in one place and move the text rapidly into that field of vision. It's especially useful in portrait mode if I am reading in bed on my side before falling asleep.
I like the ability to size the font and space the lines and adjust the color of the page and brightness. Combined, these features very much improve my reading enjoyment.
It's very easy to find an epub format of free online books and then "open" it in this app. Nice library of icon-images of the books. I don't really use any other features. I am a fast reader, often finishing it in a couple of days.

Dropbox no longer supported
Due to a dropbox upgrade, currently Gerty does NOT support dropbox sync. The ONLY reason I purchased.
Dropbox Syncing
Dropbox syncing does not work and their website provides not information as to how to troubleshoot it nor is their tech staff responsive.
iPhone X support
Please update for iPhone X support.
I can’t say how much I like it, as I just downloaded it. Thank you!

Abandoned app
The application hasn’t been updated for 2 years, Dropbox integration doesn’t seem to work anymore. Too bad, it could have been a great app.
Favorite e-reader!
Gerry is beautiful, easy to use, and had lots of fantastic customisation options. I wish I could use this to read my iBooks and Kindle purchases.
Terribly muddled and inconsistent UI
Non-standard UI makes basic actions hard.
Good app
All in one
Hilariously nonfunctional compared to Marvin
This app shouldn't even exist. An "e-reader" that doesn't support pagination... Ridiculous!
Great!
I would go as far as to say its the best free e-reader around. The Simple UI makes it great and using drop box is a must. Keep it up guys.
Use it all the time
I use this daily, I'm always reading and this is the perfect way to store all the books and fictions I find that are not from the iBook store.
Exactly what I have been looking for!lly
This app has everything I could hope for reading on my phone. Auto-scroll, dropbox linked, & an option to add photos! (and more) So happy to find this & really worth what I paid for the full version :) Thanks for putting so much thought into what users want!
Lots of ideas but
There are a lot of things in this app that are good ideas, though the implementation is cumbersome.
It definitely needs highlighting and easy export to Evernote of just the highlights without metadata and without book cover pics attached to each highlight.
I was a user of Marvin previous to this and still find that app better for EPub. Actually, I'm finding I want to convert ePub files to word or PDF just to use the liquidtext iOS app, that app is massively innovative and seamless in its note taking and overall reading experience. I do still like this app for autoscrollso I'll keep it on the iPad to see if it gets updates.
