Fix for page turns
Customer Reviews
Not a great experience
In terms of performance, this app runs very slowly and awkwardly--the page turns are in slow motion, the bits of animation are jerky and simplistic, and the sound comes in and out.
In terms of the experience, at 20 pages into the book, I can say that it does not enhance my reading experience to see blood splattered on the page (especially in jerky slow motion).
Is this the sort of thing that people like because the technology is new? Because I can't find any reason outside of novelty to "read" this app over reading the (paper) book.

First the page turns are clunky and cheesy
Just not there yet
Overpriced as well, boy am I sucker, I bought it.
Not user friendly
I'm wondering if the developers beta-tested this with any readers. I, too, do not enjoy seeing blood splatter across the pages as I read. I also find the slow, clunky turning pages distracting.
Plus, I'd kill for a bookmark. I keep having to turn the pages to return to where I left off: every time I close the app, when I reopen, I'm back to page one.
Very disappointing.
