Assessment and recommendation
Allows a glimpse of history through the real world environments that frequently serve as backdrops for the cases tackled by Doyle’s daring detective. A reasonably designed reading interface. Needs improvement: The ad on that opens up automatically can slow things down and could easily give someone the wrong impression when you open the app. The lack of screen rotation is a bit of a letdown, especially for iPad users whose stands are almost guaranteed to be designed strictly for a horizontal orientation.
Update: Serious Problem
The app was perfect for some offline reading but since the last update that ad tries to load regardless of whether there is an internet connection or not when the app is loaded and intermittently during reading. Not only does the latter break the reading experience but worse yet it makes the app entirely useless without an active internet connection and I am not about to burn through data to maintain a hotspot for an ad. Especially one like that.

Excellent book app
Love the formatting of the book pages. Gives the feel of reading an actual book. No typos either. The chapters are smooth- flowing.

It’s fantastic
The only problem I have with it is the background since I don’t really know what it is. However this is probably ignorance on my part and it’s just aesthetic. The app is great I’m so glad I have it.

Great, but still not perfect...
Thank you! The latest update corrected my problem opening the Hound of the Baskervilles, and the page breaks are much more even. As a previous review mentions, the collection is incomplete, but what is present now works as it should. I look forward to the addition of the Casebook.
