Ratings and Reviews
Nice concept
I really like the concept of this app. Even though it doesn't have a big selection, it's very useful. I hope that they take this further. Something I appreciate is that it doesn't have any ads, and you can download the books for free. If they decide to charge something in order to obtain a bigger selection, I feel that would be a good idea. However, I hope they always keep this app ad free; and if ever it becomes popular, that they don't get greedy and start asking a lot money in order to get rid of the ads.
Great for language learners!
Spanish, German, English and French are the languages offered in the five classic books. These are some of the most popular stories. An incredible app except that it was never finished. Still it is quite useful and free with no commercials.
An amazing app
Very useable, even, surprisingly, on a relatively small phone screen. Genius features, hope it keeps developing! Would be worth paying for.
