### 1/5 — Would give less than1 star if it were possible…

*2026-07-22*

Purchased app, but it will not allow you to download any of the book. Would love to give a better rating, and certainly would rate again if the problem is fixed. But I purchased the app, and have not been able to use it a single time.

### 1/5 — Error message and no support

*2026-06-12*

I recommend that you don’t but this app.  After purchase, I tried to open the chapters.   Each chapter has to be downloaded, one at a time. Every press of the download button generates the error “Oops! Please try again.”  The app is worthless until this problem gets resolved.

### 1/5 — Downloading

*2026-01-04*

can NOT download.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2024-08-03, version 1.0*

Not only do you have to pay for each chapter, once the app is downloaded, but after purchase the chapter does not download. This is both misleading and a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2020-09-06, version 1.0*

You actually have to pay for this app.  It's not for free.  Each chapter is paid for or you  have to buy the app... very misleading !

### 1/5 — Not Free

*2019-12-12*

You must pay to unlock anything.  Very misleading
