### 3/5 — Not A Fan

*2015-02-04*

I got this app a long time ago. Was pretty good back then, but something happened. Screen is blue and difficult to read, added advertising which you have to pay for to get rid of, I'm just not a fan. Better to buy a book from Amazon Kindle and read it normally. It maybe a good app, just not for me.

### 5/5 — Lol
