Amazing app

Such an amazing system. I was able to use elfhosted to run the server for me, and it is working like a charm. Like whispersync for books I actually own. Chefs kiss.

Awesome but a few bugs

This app is great, I use it to learn new languages. The user interface is simple which is not a bad thing. However, the app is a bit buggy. For instance, I wish to add custom fonts but the app won’t let me do it. After having uploaded fonts from my files, they don’t appear in the app.
Also, a search tool would be very welcome!
To my knowledge, it is the only app offering immersive listening!

Great app

This application is great & support is amazing

Exactly what I needed

This is the perfect app for my reading. Everything is amazing once you have the server running. This is my everyday ereader app. All the features are great. Thank you. Below is feedback on what I want changed.

Allow users request to server admin books they want to expand library. Have a request panel for admins or everyone to see on the app.

Bring the scrollable layout from web to app on ios and android

Maybe a comment section for each section of the book or for each book. But id have that probably toggled off by default so maybe not
