What's New in Version 4.12.1
Fixed a bug preventing some users from rotating books on iPads.
Bug fixes and stability improvements.
Customer Reviews
Perfect except for one issue.
The first and only issue with this great app: viewing annotations needs an option to view by chapter, or view every 10 or something. I have so many annotations that it takes like 20-30 seconds to load. And when you navigate out of the app, I have to load them again! Fix the view annotations toggle.
Otherwise,
I'm super impressed, the iOS developers for this app did a wonderful job! I keep all my textbooks on kindle and this app makes highlighting and taking notes within my books SO easy. It's really a well-featured app. Kudos, devs.
Good
Does what it's supposed to. The idea of including an in-app free dictionary of different languages -even different versions of certain languages like English (UK), English (US)… - was a very good idea and only made the app more convenient and productive to use.
I would have given it 5 stars if it didn't need time to load (spinning circle) the content every time I came back to the app whether I had been using another one or just clicked the home button by mistake and opened it again.
Yay for updates!
So glad they fixed the rotation errors and the single or side by side page view for the iPads! I do wish they'd add a scrolling feature for the single page view, and maybe fix the fact that it eats up so much battery, but hey maybe in the next update! It's so convenient to have this app in the go rather than having to take both my actual kindle and my iPad!
