Useless; the pages are blank.

I’ve been using my 19th century edition of Bartlett’s for decades, then I saw the app! How wonderful, I thought.

Sadly, it’s utterly useless. The pages appear blank apart from a couple of icons. Another reviewer has suggested this might by white text on a white background but, whatever, the app is useless.

And nobody in development or quality control noticed this? The AppStore didn’t notice? Come on guys!

White text on white background

I find it hard to believe that this app has just been updated and that the author(s) have not yet noticed that using white text on a white background actually makes the quotes invisible. This is a joke right? I just want to know why. WHY?!!!!!!

Can’t see a thing

Doesn’t work at all. Can’t see any quotes at all. A different reviewer mentioned white text on a white background ! Seriously ? I guess that would explain it, but how stupid is that ? Now I have to apply for a refund. What a nuisance. Avoid Avoid Avoid !
