I've had this app for years on multiple different devices and have never had issues like I have with the latest update. App freezes at the end of every chapter and needs to be restarted, font size randomly changes when "turning" the page, books are VERY slow to load. They need to get things figured out before they force an update through! 🙄

If you'd have asked me 2 days ago I'd have told you I absolutely love this app, however, it updated yesterday and has been nothing short of a mess since! It lags horribly, I can only read a chapter sometimes 2 and then I have to back completely out of my book and go back on to get to the next chapter, and some of my books have disappeared! It's very frustrating if you're someone who reads quite a bit like I do! Please fix it!

The app used to be functional, but now, the app randomly closes out when you open a book or adjust font settings. My books don't sync between my devices anymore. Certain audiobooks just stop producing sound in the middle of chapters. If the app isn't closing itself out, I'm having to constantly restart it to get it to work. I had hoped this would be an alternative to Kindle, but it was short-lived. I've purchased my last audiobook with this app and won't be using it in the future.
