Promising but needs work

The Bookshare Reader app is a good start but it needs work, especially in navigation. If I stop reading for a few minutes, and then go back, I often get a blank white page. This happens after I have downloaded the book to my iPad Pro. Also, often, when I click on the chapter/content list, only the first 4-5 chapters will be listed. I have to actually close the app and open it back up to get the full Table of Contents. The app is much more convenient than having to read books on the web, but it still needs improvement.

Thank you for the feedback. We will be looking into the issues you've raised.

Making my downloaded books tab the new default when opening the app

Hello again, my friends hope that everyone’s doing back to suggest any major in improvement or the next big update even though this one’s small and felt like it was not as the title suggest I would like for my downloaded book when opening the app, the recent books because it shows the books, I read and deleted To make space but I know that you guys are continuously working to make the app better so no rush. This is just a suggestion on my part and thank you for everything as usual. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for your feedback. We are currently working on the ability for text-to-speech to work in the background. Please check back for a future update including this feature.

Getting better

Voice Dream Reader is planning on removing lifetime licensing for users who have previously purchased the product on 5/1. It’s even more important that this app continues to be improved for the influx of users that aren’t willing to pay a yearly subscription on top of their Bookshare subscription, just to read a book. My two big asks/requests: Please add the ability to listen to human narrated audiobooks and ability to “Read Now” on periodicals. Thanks Bookshare Reader dev team!

Also: Ability to listen to books in the background. VoiceOver gestures to change pages would also be nice.

Thank you for your detailed feedback, we really appreciate it ! We are currently working on the ability for text-to-speech to work in the background so that users can listen to books in the background. We have taken note of your other feedback, thank you. Please check back for a future update including the background text-to-speech feature!
