Ratings and Reviews
Not ready for Prime Time
This Kindle wannabe stumbles and stutters until you lose interest in the book. With as many commands and much design as it has copied from competitors, it’s nuts that the app isn’t more intuitive. I got thru one book, with frustration. But a quarter of the way through the second, and I gave up and bought it all over again on Kindle. Now if only I knew how to mark those 1st two books “read” and file them under another tab, well, it gives me goosebumps to contemplate. Not saying it can’t be done, just that it coulda been easier.
Needs Work
This reader is definitely a early version. I prefer the dark setting for reading. When using that setting the beginning of each chapter has a white bar across the top and a white space at the end of the chapter after the words end until the end of the page. I switch between my iPhone X and iPad but the app does not appear to synchronize my location between the devices. There appears to be a issue with the app sometimes where it jumps back a few pages when reopening the book. Support for the iPhone X is required. I have flip the page slowly to read one word at a time to read the first line on every page because the iPhone X notch blocks the words. I will say I do like the green bar showing the status of how far you are through the current chapter. Over all this app needs some upgrades to bring it to the basic level that other common reader apps are at.
Buggy and useless offline
This is the app used by the Wall Street Journal for their complimentary books provided to subscribers. I have a stack of audiobooks saved to this app that I have never listened to, because it is essentially impossible to listen offline. Unlike other apps, this one gives you no controls on downloading a book. You just open it and downloading supposedly happens in the background. But if you disconnect from the internet and then try to open one of your downloaded audiobooks, an error pops up saying some features are not available, please try again later. This is completely unacceptable and the app is essentially useless to me if I can’t listen to audiobooks offline, like when I am running or in my car. The free app from my public library is better than this. I am glad I am not paying for this content, but the Wall Street Journal should find a better provider for its member benefits.
