### 1/5 — Can’t read Kindle books

*2022-05-31, version 4.0*

I am looking for an app that can read Kindle books!

### 2/5 — Crashes when I import a pdf file from G-drive.

*2019-03-22, version 4.0*

The app closes immediately as soon as I try to open a file that I imported from my google drive

### 1/5 — So sad!

*2018-10-28, version 4.0*

The app cash opening a pdf, I did try reinstalling, resetting the iPhone... nothing work

### 3/5 — Good app but needs improvement

*2018-10-13, version 4.0*

I use this app to read pdf files. I like it but...

Please, please give it landscape mode. 99% of the apps I use are in landscape mode and can switch to other mode. This is a must have!

Please allow access to the voices and pronunciations already set on iPad settings. I use it a lot and have spent a lot of time to refine the pronunciations. Now your app wants to users own. Wouldn’t it be easier to tie into what’s already set on the iPad?

Thanks.

### 1/5 — OMG!!!

*2016-10-01, version 3.5*

$4.99 for just the app.... 
& separate purchase if you want it to actually read to you.... English must be purchased $4.99 and all other languages are separate charges..
Run your business right then maybe you'll get some business. This should be the best out there...will be calling apple for this fraud business and get my money back...

### 4/5 — Solid app

*2016-09-06, version 3.5*

I really like this app for the simplicity and practicality . In my case was always stable w minimum crashes. So it's not the magic that is very convenient way to get a review on any book

### 1/5 — Very unhappy

*2016-03-08, version 3.5*

The voice was terrible and distracting. I am quite upset I paid almost ten dollars. I did not understand I would have to pay an extra 4.99 for each additional language I wanted to hear, nor did I realize it would be a terrible glitchy distraction of a voice. Unless they fix that, don't lose your money like I did. Totally upset I lost 10$ on this thing. Developers, I hope your goal was to be a scam, otherwise you failed.

### 4/5 — Worth it

*2015-01-13, version 3.3*

I'm on the go a lot and this app helps me to enjoy my reading addiction wherever I am. Once you get used to some of the strange ways the app reads some words it's just like any other book on CD. However, now I can have ANY book I like in audible form for way less than the Audible app.

### 1/5 — the count of monte cristo

*2013-09-24, version 3.2*

This  AP stinks can't understand a word they say I switched it to Italian and it must be an Italian language they must have invented like a mix of Spanish Portuguese etc I would like my money back for the Ap and the Italian conversion of the book $4.99 + $4.99.
Also it looks that I can only pick from the selection they give you. NO GOOD.

### 3/5 — Nice update - so close to having it all

*2013-07-12, version 3.2*

This is a great app. I think you could really turn this onto a huge success. There are a lot of people out there would love to read and listen to an ePub book all in one place. This app comes very close, but there are still a few key features missing.

1. I can't start and stop the reading with the pause button on my earphones. This really makes it hard to use this app in a real world situation where interruptions occur.

2. Many of the epubs I import think that I need to purchase the German AIP even though they are in English.

3. You cannot adjust the brightness of the screen from within the app. You can't really read without that feature.

Keep up the good work!
