Ratings and Reviews
My favorite book app
I have been using the app for several years already. On iPad, iPad Pro, MacBook Pro. It is my favorite book app so far, and I have tried many of them. It is getting better and better with every new version. More and more features are being added with time, like statistic, personal recommendations etc. Still the basic functionality stays simple, familiar and handy. Recently, I started paying more attention to what books the app recommends me. Evidently the more books I read, the more finely the app can predict my choice. Thank you.
