### 5/5 — Yes!

*2026-06-18, version 2.0.9*

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.

### 3/5 — Love the features, but hangs often

*2025-10-22, version 2.0.7*

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.

### 1/5 — What does this app do?

*2025-04-15, version 2.0.6*

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!

### 2/5 — No illustrations

*2024-10-11, version 1.9.7*

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

### 5/5 — Practical, uncomplicated, and useful

*2023-10-09, version 1.9.3*

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.

### 5/5 — Glad I Found It

*2023-08-17, version 1.9.3*

I was using My Books until my frustration mounted because of duplicate or missing pages.

This is a wonderful app with many useful features My Books lacked.

I love old books of adventure and biography, and I found many of my favorites by William HG Kingston here.

### 4/5 — Very Easy Access

*2023-01-20, version 1.9.3*

Mainly the classics are found in this app.  So if you were ever curious about their contents then get this app.  A lot of other books seem to come from collegiate sources. Don’t expect books that you get from the paying sources like AMZ, BN, etc.  Those exist for a reason, smile.

### 5/5 — Good choices

*2023-01-18, version 1.9.3*

Has a wide variety to choose from

### 1/5 — Gutenberg Reader

*2022-07-22, version 1.9.0*

Just downloaded, so haven’t much experience! But noticed right away that it doesn't sync between separate devices, ie ipad and iPhone !

### 1/5 — Not good at finding books

*2022-01-03, version 1.8.6*

I was trying to find the book wild wings and it did not show up it showed everything except the book I searched I even tried searching the author and it still did not work. I have been trying to find an audio book for wild wings and I can’t find one.
