When I can look in my laptop and my phone app reads it to me I get it faster.

For reading the text the app works great. Personally I like to read and hear the text together. There is a TTS and wide range of languages but the voices and lack of Inference while reading the text make it not plausible. It’s a little on the nose, but the voices are too robotic. So right now I have to use my computer and Edge browser to read and listen together.

Discovered by accident that if I tapped the screen the scroll bar at the bottom disappears. If I want it back so I can see what page I’m on, I tap the screen again. I’m sufficiently satisfied with this app now, thank you. Initial review:I’m using this on an iPhone 15 pro. The scrolling bar at the bottom conceals some lines of text, no idea how many. I scroll down as far as I can go, and there are lines of text missing, concealed.

Want to resize the screen? You can't. You can only have the app in landscape, portriat, or fullscreen. Awful never ending loop bug when you try to fullscreen ocassionally. It'll full screen then minimize and then repeat. You have to close the app and relaunch it to get out of the loop. Want to copy paste a link to your browser? Nope that's restricted probably as a copyright deterent. Want to high light something? Sure maybe when you right click a highlighted portion of the text youll get a context window that has that as an action. Want to remove that highlight? Good luck; it was a dice roll to even high light it to begin with. Want to view your book offline on a flight? Nope can't do that either. The application will first try to authenticate your account if you're already connected to a limited-access WiFi network. Once it fails to authenticate you can't access the book you downloaded to make available offline. Even when you arent connected to a WiFi network, its a dice roll on wether or not the app will try to authenticate with a server before allowing access to the content. Want to see the title of the page you're reading? Well you can't. There's a banner at the top and bottom of the app that gives you navigational control in the app. In iOS you'd just tap the content of the page to get the navigational banners to hide. On the macOS version of the app they stay there until you magically guess the right combination of touchpad zooming and touching to hide the banners. If you are so lucky to hide the banners then you won't be able to get them back without closing the application and re-opening it. ALL AROUND AWFUL macOS app. They spent minimal effort developing this. I came here to learn. Not to be distracted.
