For an app about reading, the onboarding is so full of typos

I’ll be honest I didn’t get past it cause it’s egregious. Had no faith in the rest of the app

Simple and does what it says on the label

It’s a book reader. No in app purchases good tts, or basic customization. Very nice.

Updated review-Good pdf and ebook reader

Great app for reading ebooks and PDF files. Especially since you can bookmark PDF files. Just don’t delete the book that comes with the App until AFTER you sync with the cloud or it might crash the app and cannot be reopened without crashing again. They’re working on this I believe.
