Great, but not perfect

I am a senior at UCF, and I have been using Yuzu for some time. I like the fact that I have instant access to (most) of my ebooks for my semesters. Granted, some professors don’t offer materials that are reached through Yuzu, so we have to either use another app, or the web, or just buy a physical copy altogether.
With that said, the only real issue I have with Yuzu, is that when i use the split screen function on my iPad (I have the iPad Pro 13inch) the screen almost spams from white, to dark mode throughout the entire time i am using the app. On some occasions I have even had the screen on full screen on my iPad, and even opened on my phone, and one moment the screen will be entirely in dark mode, and a few moments later it will be in light mode.
The issue with this is one, aside from it being really annoying to the eye, it also closes and loads up a random page I wasn’t even on when it changes color. And another issue, is if i ever wanted to copy and past a passage, or an image, the lettering, or the picture would be in either white or black ink. Aside form that, I can’t really complain since at the end of the day im still able to keep up with my schoolwork with a click of a button. If this little issue was to be resolved for me, it be a 5/5 easily. Thanks for reading.

Decent App

Fairly decent e-reader with the ability to listen to the text included. However, there are some opportunities available that would make this a fantastic app…
The voice reading the app is very robotic making comprehension more challenging… To the point that it’s not worth using that feature.
The most problematic feature of all is the inability to use your Apple Pencil to jot notes in the margins.
Lastly, some books get imported as a PDF instead of a typical book so swiping to the next page actually moves you to the next section or chapter.
Other than those opportunities, this really is a rather decent app.

First thing first, I don't expect perfection from anything in life esp. technology, also if I could live in B&N I honestly would & have loved them since I was little, still do, & I am a voracious reader. That being said B&N should be ashamed of themselves with the terrible customer service but esp. since they're like 85-90% about BOOKS and READING. The fact that the kindle & ibooks apps are SUPREMELY better with overall use & book formatting should honestly make B&N feel ashamed. I think what makes it even worse is that most of us use this app because of school & getting degrees is hard enough without your school e-reader frustrating you chapter, after chapter, after chapter. You're better than this B&N & us college students need AT LEAST paragraphs that don't split midsentence causing back & forth reading, WAY more font selections & definitely font sizes need a tweak. It's either too big or so small I end up squinting or squirming trying to read comfortably. Please someone with power to change this app read & truly consider mine & everyone else's suggestions. We're trying to help ourselves with studying & making it "easier" but that is difficult without someone doing something. End of rant; thanks to those who read it all.<3
