Needless redesign

The UI's been overhauled significantly for ios 16, with settings now buried into multiple sub menus that only take up a small corner of the screen, making them hard to navigate and use.

They've restored the page turning animation in a recent update, but the edge tapping now doesn't work properly for turning pages - i have to swipe forward on every page. Looks like they significantly reduced the size of the tap area.

The swiping is better now than in ios 15, where swipes forward would somehow send you back a page, or do an animation but stay in the same page. I'm looking for another ebook reader now. I much prefer the kindle or libby apps - have just been using this for epub files, but have had enough.

Edit: i've tried 4 other apps and have come back to this one 😅😂 i still don't like it, but it is somehow better than the others...

Crashes and don’t issues

It’s slow to open, crashes and say it can’t download a book at that time even though I’m half way through it.
But by far the most annoying thing is when I finally get a font setting that is good (the preview in the menu isn’t actually the font you’re using) then the book changes lines spacing between paragraphs on the same page. Or even completely different fonts from chapter to chapter throughout the book. It also doesn’t remember my font preference between books so then I have to much around setting it again every time I start a new book.

Books quantity

Hi ,
There are good books on this App site, but not nearly as many as I would like. You need to expand the number of books by a long way. More often than not the book I want isn’t there. Otherwise it’s a great way to read and not have to carry books with you.
