8 of 25App works great but I can’t read my iBooks so it’s a total waste for me.
Ever since I tested out the clear theme which allows you to see the camera view behind text the app simply will not stop crashing. I can’t choose another theme or access certain menus of the app without an inevitable crash.
It’s great to have direct access to so many great books to apply this app to. However, for the purpose of practicing and getting faster at reading, some of them are a bit tricky (eg Uncle Tom’s Cabin uses dialect that is hard to read quickly, and the Art of War’s formatting is messed up so as to not be practical). Lastly, the guide bar sometimes goes squirrels and you have to flip pages back and forth to reset it. Still, once you’re fine with that and find a good regular “English” book, this seems to be very effective to gradually improve your reading skills and build speed.
Better than Kindle. Largest selection of free books. Easily navigated interface. Download what you want and have something great to read anytime, anywhere.
Useless to me without being able to use the books I bought on Kindle. Unless there is something I have not learned.
I find the navigation a bit clunky. It is easy to accidentally go to the next page. I also could not find a way to set the place where the speed reader marker should be if I was in the middle of a page.<br/><br/>The pages also started getting out of order. If I paged forward and back multiple times this would go away.
In an age devoted to self adulation wherein the inconveinient knowledge of the past is yet again obliterated or silenced by the chitterings of popular dunces given over to political correction and control, thank you for preserving and making readily available the priceless lessons, thoughts and laughter of past generations of both wisdom and folly.
Good app but still won’t accept new libraries to download from.
