The translation set French as default and no way to change it so you have to select the language each time you want a translation. The app also does not remember the process on audit book as it keep going back to the beginning of the boo and lost my progress. And it crashed all the time specially on audio books! And it also not syncing between devices.

Only got it because I d/l a book from the publisher and will be deleting straight after. I open the app, it's asking me about friends because reading is apparently a social activity? I just want to read my book in peace. It's got a whole statistics section which is gross, why the datafication of reading? Anytime tap the screen i.e. to keep screen from timing out, it highlights passages which is annoying. Can't pinch to zoom according to preference and % instead of page nos that can't turn off.

This is a poor app for audio books, when using the sleep timer it will not restart and needs to be force stopped to reset, and it will not play books that have been downloaded when on flight mode. Pages are often blank for normal books when page is turned, and you need to highlight a sentence to get the text to show up.

What's new

The latest previous version unfortunately contained a big bug where opening books could crash the app.

That issue is now fixed, our deepest apologies for the issue!
