Major bug issues rn

The app keeps freezing &/or crashing. Library not working at all. This was once the best app of its kind. What is going on?

Dead app?

Fairly certain this is a dead app. Any emails to support get ignored, app can’t hold more than 20-30 saves in the library and new books haven’t been added.

Doesn’t work

Spent 1 hour trying and creating to login to the plan I signed up for. Doesn’t remember. Always asks me to sign up again. Tried numerous fixes. No luck. They need to FIX this before selling this app.
