Checks off what I’m looking for

My phone setting ‘read what’s on screen’ will continue the book until I pause. where other E readers I’d have to initiate it every page. Also I can download/delete books locally. No ads, affordable.

Excellent book reading app with more features than the Apple Books app

Edit: a cool feature idea is when highlighting something is to allow you to delete parts of the highlight. Like when you quote parts of a text and it’s denoted by three dots…then picks up to the relevant spot.

The new annotations widget is great! Exactly what I’ve been after to re-encounter my annotations I’ve made in the past. A suggestion to improve the widgets in a future release. Allow customisation of how much time each quote is present for before changing e.g. 5, 10,15, 60 minutes. That and maybe interactive gesture allowing you to move through multiple annotationsby tapping on the right side to progress through a carousel.

UR MOTHER

GOOD BUT NOT AS GOOD AS UR MUM

Loses formatting

Sadly this app ignores all original formatting by the book designer, so you see plain-vanilla text, not what was the intended experience. For book lovers, it’s an ugly experience. Deleted it.

Really good, just too annoying

The app TOTALLY works. For sure, I’ve got books in here and I’m reading them!

But sometimes a page renders half off-screen. And sometimes, selecting text causes the page to turn. And the constant notifications asking “Have you enabled the widget?” (no, because I don’t want to) or “Did you know you can add tags?” (no, and I don’t care) are absolutely grating.

I’m so sad no-one writes apps that just leave you alone any more.
