Bug fixes and improvements

User reviews

Why ANOTHER reader app?

I read on my phone, tablet, laptop, car, walking dog (audiobooks!)... I have a collection of apps to go with the books. Why does every publishing outfit feel the uncontrollable need to create their own app? Jeez...

SO annoying.

Why can’t we just use Kindle!?!? Trying to highlight on an IPad is an exercise in frustration. It doesn’t line up and it’s a total hassle. Why? I’d rather not try to highlight something for 1/2 hour, moving my finger up and down only to not be able to highlight only the text I want. I just don’t have that kind of time.

Not working app! Please fix

This app will not even let me login. Please update and fix this app.

Not working

Downloaded the ebook I bought but can’t open it— the app keeps popping up a window that says the book needs to sync, but I’ve synced a million times. I made sure the app doesn’t need updating too 😔

Clunky Interface!!

I'm getting a wrist cramp trying to highlight one of the texts I'm reading...very difficult to get the desired section just right (app wants to grab half-words, entire pages, previous sentences...). Plus, why do I have to click a second time to confirm what I'm highlighting??As well, there's no way to enlarge text to a reasonable level; you can enlarge by pinching, but the app reverts to the original size on the next page (*after* you wait on the text from the previous page to disappear). NSTA/app developers, please fix these bugs!!
