Can't Download or read ebooks. Audiobooks are fine though.
★★★★☆Stephan Köppe· Dec 31, 2024
The ereader optimization is excellent. However, the app is quite data hungry, and I regularly delete the app to delete cache, which doesn't seem to work otherwise.

The app 2.0 could not load the book that I previously loaded, and. Ot the app 3.0 does not let me log in at all. The website is also out of order.
★★☆☆☆Katalin Gacs· Feb 10, 2023
The built-in ebook reader is terrible. The screen keeps turning off if I don't touch it, so it's hard to read, I have to keep poking the page or set it to a huge font, so I turn often pages which is really uncomfortable. It's pretty much standard to ebook apps to keep the screen turned on for reading. Furthermore, there is no read aloud option which should also be standard because of accessibility.
★★☆☆☆Barbara Madigan· May 7, 2025
When trying to read newspapers on my mobile in the app, the pages jump straight back to the first page, making it impossible to read. After a while I'm not able to get past the first page. Sadly unusable.
★☆☆☆☆Andreas Engelmayer· Dec 21, 2025
Very buggy. At the moment audiobooks don't load. Tried on 3 different devices. Looking at the other comments, there must be really some amateurs working on this software. Besides that, without being even able to load audiobooks, this app uses 1.3 GB in memory. Also, no error messages why things don't load.
