### 3/5 — Text is black so won’t work in dark mode

*2022-12-11*

The app is very nice to use but not if you use dark mode. Day mode works fine and you can read the text but as soon as dark mode is on…the text is gone. Would be nice if it could switch between light and dark mode. It’s great so far otherwise.

### 4/5 — Nice!

*2019-06-11*

Love how this is 20k+ books in one download. Would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t so buggy. For instance it crashes on some books such as Irish Fairytales and then is stuck on that book every time it loads and you have to delete the app and redownload it which is a big deal at over 3 gig. Regardless, great app!

**Developer response:** I can't reproduce the crash with the Irish Fairytales book however I have removed it in release 0.22, because it appeared its file was corrupted.
