### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work

*2026-01-06*

after recent bundle updates the app stop working just black screen and spinning!

### 3/5 — Great app, but latest version introduces a serious bug

*2025-11-22*

The app no longer retains where you were on a page. If you switch to another app and back or if your screen goes off, it returns straight back to the top of the page. This is a critical bug since makes the app nearly unusable in most contexts people use it.

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2024-05-05*

Thank you very much for including lots of books in this application for such small price (compared to the value we get)

### 4/5 — Great but…

*2024-02-13*

The app is really good however it needs some improvement like there should be a setting to adjust the size of the letters . Also couldn’t find the Tigrigna version once the app was updated.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reaching out! The app offers font and font size options. Simply click on the “Aa” icon in the top bar to access these settings.

To switch between languages, select the content and submenus under each section. You can find both Geez and Amharic versions there. Unfortunately, the Tigrigna version is not available in Mezgebe Haymanot, but it is included in Mezgebe Hiwot or Mezgebe Haymanot Geez Tigrigna.

Let us know if you need further assistance!

### 1/5 — Losing access to almost all the books

*2023-07-09*

It was great when we pay for this app, but after the update everything is very different to get. And I only access wdase Maryam the rest I don’t know where it goes.

### 5/5 — I couldn’t be happier, Thank you!!!

*2023-04-06*

Thank you very much for including lots of books in this application for such small price (compared to the value we get)

### 2/5 — ፈልግ (Find) Crashing

*2023-02-07*

To me the most important function for this app is the “Find” or ፈልግ feature. However, because there are so many results it the app crashes and turns off. Please fix this bug.

ፈልግ የሚለው ላይ Search result ሲበሳበት ክራሽ አድርጎ ይጠፋል።

አስተካክሉልን።

### 3/5 — እጅግ ብዙ የፊደል ግድፍቶች አሉበት

### 5/5 — I couldn’t be happier, Thank you!!!

*2021-10-24, version 5.0*

Thank you very much for including lots of books in this application for such small price (compared to the value we get) If you could add a way to bookmark pages or books so that the user can easily refer back to the booksmarks, it would make the experience even better.

For e.g. say I use 3 books daily, instead of looking up in the categories, if We could bookmark or pin them on top?

### 4/5 — This up currently keep crashing

*2020-12-15*

Your app was amazing until 14.2 software update. Please fix it Thanks
