Good reader - still has annoying bugs

I use this reader a lot. It seems that recent updates have solved the “Chapter Jumping” issue, whereby, instead of being able to go to the following chapter of a book, after completing a chapter, it starts at the beginning of the chapter that has just been completed.
However the following issue has become more frequent:
Once the app has not been used for example an hour or so, tapping the screen to invoke the background color and brightness adjustments is ignored. The app has to be completely shut down and restarted for that function to work. Other elements such as font size adjustments also become sticky and requires and app restarted to clear the stick elements. Perhaps there is a way to introduce a night/day mode switch function to allow the user to quickly change user adjustable backlight settings.
This is run on a fully updated iPhone XS.

Great manga with one criticism

I downloaded this app when I wanted to buy a manga series to be pacific the royal tutor, I had already bought the first volume of this manga on one of the other apps this company owns the name booktopia my purchase of the first volume of the royal tutor transferred which was convent later on as time passed I made my way through the manga series to the 16th volume is were my criticism begins at the time of criticism the 16th volume and 17th volume were not available for purchase instead preorder but single chapters were available so I purchased later as days went on it was inconvenient to own the books separated into single chapters but I consider it overly expensive to repurchase so my criticism is that if you buy a book or manga in separate chapters you should be able to have the whole book or manga Available after purchase.

I loved this app until its last major update. Now it’s awful

I was reading a book a day until the latest update. It’s glitchy and horrible. Sometimes you turn 2-3 pages instead of one page. The font sizing won’t stay the same. There used to be a small dot at the bottom, you could easily changes sizes, brightness and switch from bright-mode to dark. Now you’ve got to find the sweet spot to tap near the top and hope you don’t flick forward in whatever you are reading. I’ve also found the end of chapter disappear, I was reading the latest Scholomance, and entire paragraphs would be left off the end of chapters. I had to change to the tiniest font, and even then, I’d be left with half a sentence and then the next page would be a new chapter. I have no idea what has gone wrong. I’ve updated the app, I’ve made sure I am on the latest iOS. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app. This is clearly a Kobo problem and I hope the fix it. It’s like the spent all this effort into Kobo Plus and the entire usability of the app has fallen away.
