Will not place hold

This app starts over at the same spot every time you open it and close it I bought it as a e-book reader, but it’s pointless

Didn’t restore PDFs after new phone purchase

I got a new iPhone, but my collection of PDFs did not download.

Restored purchase thru the menu. Nothing.

My device details:
Device type - 'iPhone17,3'
OS - 'iOS' version '18.3.1'
Free disk space - 303.47 GB / 476.30 GB
Ver 5.3.11 (build 5.3.17)

works on ios18.3/iphone 16 pro

very happy my favourite voice reader still works on my new iphone. It is not as functionally advanced as voicedream reader e.g. choice how app highlights the sentence, word, paragraph it is reading -- but vbooksz does the basics very very well, and has for many years. Rare on app store, developers are trustworthy and maintain their app. Thankyou for maintaining the app over 14 years.

Great app with huge potential

Used to be a great ab with huge potential. It seems that the developer had abandoned the app. No more update releases in the App Store. The crop feature went missing so the app reads irrelevant parts of the pdf like page numbers

I hope the developer takes some interest in improving the app and introducing new features
