### 5/5 — Useful and insightful

*2020-04-04*

This is how you can know which prophets quote each other or are inspired by each other.

### 3/5 — What’s happened?

*2020-02-18*

This was a fantastic app, but suddenly started turning itself off when I tried the search all open books command.  
Is this because the iPad has updated? Have you updated WordCruncher ?
I can still read the books, although having uninstalled and reinstalled I have to reinstall them and find my place.  
If it worked for the searches I’d have given it 5 stars

### 5/5 — Thank you for the books

*2017-02-14*

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2016-04-28*
