### 1/5 — Do not buy books through this app

*2022-08-14, version 3.1*

This app hasn’t been updated in a year now and it shows. It doesn’t even take up the full screen in a recent iPhone. 

The whole experience is awkward and unpleasant.

### 2/5 — Underwhelmed

*2022-05-29, version 3.1*

Why would I buy books from you if I’m locked into a minimally acceptable app that doesn’t even fully support dark mode? I’m sick to death of blinding flashes when trying to turn the pages in the dark. Are there any other ways I can read the books I’ve purchased from you (on my device) than through your app?

Would love to support my local bookstore, but this will need to step up!

P.S. Your support screen and about screen don’t work, otherwise this would have been private feedback.

### 1/5 — Audiobook missing chapters

*2022-05-23, version 3.1*

The only purchase I’ve made was an audiobook, and the first few chapters are missing. I contacted support again, after them never having responded to my first request. Don’t know if I’ll ever get my money back, so I guess I’ll have to go directly to my local bookstore to support them.

### 1/5 — No highlight?

*2022-01-22, version 3.1*

Has anyone figured this out? Highlighting is a huge part of reading for many!! It’s great that we can support Indy stores by purchasing but maybe there can be an exportable version of the book so we can highlight in the meantime.

### 1/5 — Total pain

*2021-12-20*

Some of the pages appear ‘split,’ meaning there is some text from the next page 1/2 overlapping the current page, then only 1/2 appears on the proper page, as if it’s half swiped.

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2021-12-19, version 3.1*

I purchased an independent ebook before realizing I couldn’t just download a pdf version of it and was so disappointed when I downloaded this app and saw how outdated it was. I would much rather read books in Adobe than use this app. I feel bad, but it’s really terrible. I want to support local bookstores and small publishers, but I also want quality products for the premium price I’m paying for these things. I honestly don’t know if I’ll even be able to read this $15 ebook now because the app is so bad.

### 1/5 — Unusable, no support

*2021-12-19, version 3.1*

Can't get any books into the app, can't get a reply from tech support.

I'm sorry I spent money on a book I have no way to read. I had high hopes of being able to support my local bookstore while reading on digital media. 

This is useless.

### 1/5 — Bugs make it so you can’t save text or take notes

*2021-12-12, version 3.1*

The app only lets you store bookmarks so you can’t save/highlight text for review later.

When you try to select text to save a section or take notes, most of the time it only works once then you need to restart the app.

After you select the text to take a note, it leaves a magnifying glass area over the text that won’t disappear if you select elsewhere or change the page.

### 2/5 — Not very useable at night

*2021-11-19, version 3.1*

When I set it for black background with white print, it worked for the first few chapters, but then got glitchy. The first page I open to is okay, but every page I turn to after that just displays an unreadable gray screen, so I end up using the sepia screen with the lowest brightness I can read. I do most of my reading in bed at night, so this is a dealbreaker for me, especially since the book I bought is a long one (The 1619 Project).  I’ll try to get through it, but may end up re-buying the book  elsewhere to finish on one of the more popular readers. I won’t be buying again through this app unless the problems get fixed. A disappointment, because I really did want to support local bookstores.

### 2/5 — Wish I could like this app!

*2021-09-06, version 3.1*

I’d love to use this app more, I’d certainly like to become less dependent on the big River for my eBooks, but this app is too minimal to be useful. There’s no way to sort my library, not indication of what books I’ve read, and it doesn’t even reliably open a book to where I was the last time I read. Please improve, I’m sure there’s a market!
