User reviews

Yes!

I love that these books are free. Very few things in this world are free and it’s great to be able to be able to read classics without a subscription. Thank you for doing this.

Love the features, but hangs often

I love all the options: font type, the moving lines, option of changing from a ebook to audiobook,…..but it kept hanging, the speed of moving text became uncontrollable and sadly I had to remove it. Hoping they will fix the issues soon so I can redownload.

What does this app do?

I may not be a digital native but I’m no dummy and I had to delete this app immediately as I couldn’t work out how to do anything - it just kept on loading ads and asking for a rating!

No illustrations

For reading its great but none of the illustrations show up. Please change this so they do.

Practical, uncomplicated, and useful

This is the kind of little app that I love: it is focused on helping with a specific problem, and it provides a surprisingly powerful tool to help me deal with that.

If you’re looking for help preparing your taxes or fixing dinner…well, this app isn’t designed for that.

If being able to adjust the text*, make notes, and manage a small library of books on your phone is what you’re looking for this app will be just what you need.

* About adjusting the text: the teams of VOLUNTEERS who scan books for Project Gutenberg or other sources of FREE books have no idea what size the screen on your device is. There are occasionally issues which they do the best they can to correct when they learn about them. If the font size or style is changed additional problems may occur.

While I understand that artifacts from the scanning process or errors caused when the text is adjusted can be frustrating I think we should remember the designer of this app really isn’t responsible for our woes.

THIS APP IS WELL WORTH DOWNLOADING.
