Ratings and Reviews
Problem with bookmark
It used to save automatically, I have no problem retrieving books where I left off. BUT it’s been acting up lately, books are opened with previous bookmark, even though I re-bookmark again it still refused to open the new location. It got me wasting my time searching for my last read location.
A good reading apps, except some glitches and missing features
All essential functions are there: lists my books, shows how much I’ve read, flipping pages either with swiping or tabbing, change text size and fonts, etc. But …..
It often prompts me that I’ve opened this book from another device and asks me whether I want to catch up. In fact I never ever read the book from any other devices……
When opening this apps it automatically goes back to the page I was reading, but very often it just shows a blank page, and no matter which page I flip to, all are blank pages. I have to close the apps and launch it again. But then it loses track where I was……
It misses a bookmark feature such that I can easily go back to a frequently referenced figure or table……
That’s why I can’t give it 5 stars.
Read in different app, the bookmark not recorded precisely
I read books in both ipad n iphone, the bookmark of my latest process should be updated, but it always fall into different pages, it made my reading progress so messy..is it because the font size i changed in different devises? And i cannot find a total page numbers n the current page number, the page number is within that section, the app always bring me back to previous pages, anyway my reading journey is kinda messy🙄
