### 1/5 — Not a good app

*2024-05-16*

Do not download or try this app because it does not work. This is a bad app for urban books so sad.🙃🙃🙃

### 1/5 — I just can’t!

*2020-08-26, version 4.6*

I really wanted to support this app, contrary to the negative reviews, but I just can’t. Once I was finally able to get into the app I could not see any book titles. There are place markers for the books and even some descriptions, but I look at book covers to determine if I should proceed further. I can’t do that with the app. I have tried on an iPhone, iPad, and Android with the same results. Guess I’ll have to go back to Audible.

### 1/5 — Can’t sign in

*2019-07-21, version 3.1.2*

Can’t sign in or even register????

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2019-04-19, version 3.1.2*

It’s no point on downloading/installing this app into your phone, because once you get it you can’t sign up or just try the app it’ll just keep saying “server not found” or something in that manner !!

### 2/5 — Confused

*2019-03-16, version 3.1.2*

Can’t sign in or register too sign in
