Big mistake!! Huge!! Pushed the button & it just sits there “loading”!! Waited an hour, still n loading. Dumped the app & tried again!! Still loading!! Piece of junk. And not free!! ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-12-30* Cannot believe I paid money for this useless very amateur effort. ### 1/5 — Help *2022-11-03* How do you close a book without closing the app? Is there any help function? So far, app is useless and a waste of money ### 1/5 — Lousy *2020-10-26* The original Project Gutenberg app was an excellent app, which provided access to the free books accessed by Gutenberg. This is a rip-off for-cost app which doesn’t provide all the books originally scanned and requires a second-rate google search engine to ‘maybe’ find others. Don’t waste your money. **Developer response:** Hi thank you for using the app. There is a "Project Gutenberg" tap at the top of the homepage. It will take you to the Project Gutenberg website, there you can select all their books. There also a tap for Smashword and Feedbook, they have more than a million books that you can choose from. Please try all the features. We also offer a free version of this app. ### 2/5 — Can't find sign in or locate library of stored books *2021-02-28* Edited same day: ok I figured it out. I was on my old iPad when I wrote the review and there weren't any books. They are stored on the new iPad. I really regret my purchase as I can't sync them and would have to read each book on only one device or the other. The ads were very distruptive. Some are unobtrusive but ever so often a video will pay and loudly and disrupt my thoughts. So that is why I removed the ads. I couldn't evaluate it during the blaring interuptions. I hope the money let's the developer make some improvements. For now I am going to delete it and keep looking for something better. Earlier: i got a new iPad in 2021 and my old Gutenberg app wouldn't run on it. So searched on App store and and liked to format. Transferred over 7 books and played around with reading a couple. Decided to click on no ads and pay $4.99. It launched a new pro version app to download. Did that. I don't see any way to sign in. I don't see any library in the old app or any way to open the two books I played around with or the other 5 that I didn't yet open. Please consider a tutorial. The app says it can store up to 100 books but it doesn't explain how I can find the books I have "stored". I would have hoped the non profit app would let me see the titles I have alreaded downloaded so I can search and add them to the pro app. Even better, I it would let me sign in and so the titles are available on the pro app. Or better yet, if the "no add" had removed the ad feature from the app I was in instead of requiring a second app to be downloaded. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for the purchase of the app. The PRO version and the Free version are 2 separate apps. They do not store the books in a cloud or a server, therefore you don't need to make an account or sign in. The books are store within each app, so the books do not share between each app. ### 5/5 — Access to World’s Best *2021-07-16* Easy to use, free access to the Humanity’s best books. ### 5/5 — Why so quiet. Works like a charm. *2020-07-11* Searches the web for book sites. Or searches Gutenberg books. Shocked how fast it searches. Just like audiobooks, it will read to you. I tried the free version immediately started using the fee based version. **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the app and use all its features. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
