Gutenberg Book Reader for Negative User Reviews

✓ Don't waste your moneyBuggy and clunky. Books fail to load..TrumpalarVersion: 7.3

✓ ???I paid but the ad banner is still there. What happened?.El915Version: 8.10

✓ Nothing to see hereThis is nothing more than you can find on any one of a dozen free “classic” book apps. I’m reading some Hemingway on the free Gutenberg website, but the PDF formatting can be a bit challenging. So I figured I would find the same here in a more reader friendly format. Wrong. Just the same old Sherlock Holmes and Jane Austen that litter the free readers that are rampant in the App Store. Save yourself three bucks and run from this thing as fast as you can..Rdwing64Version: 8.5

✓ Waste.Waste of a buck. pointless, poorly programmed, poorly designed. just go download what you need from the Project Gutenberg site and open it in a real e-reader..All names taken.Version: 2.9

✓ DangIt does work, but try to understand how. Lousy job, to download a book means immediately start reading it, forget to go back to the page from which you downloaded, it won't happen soon..Hogtie goVersion: 2.5

✓ Pretty good - annoying audioThe app works well, its a nice interface, typeface is clear. The audio turns itself on, when I have not opened the app and is annoying. I have tried to shut it down, but can only doing so by turning off my ipad..Carstairs LabatteVersion: 11.2

✓ Sorta worksYou can read with this, sometimes without annoyance. Issues: (1) If you don't open the app for a while (overnight), the app forgets the book you were reading and page you were on unless you manually save it. (2) Way too easy to swipe to new chapter when swiping to new page. (3) Often refuses to advance to next page when images are on current page. Generally does not handle images well. (4) When you download a book from Bookshelves, app takes you back to home page and you have to climb back through the menu choices to load another book. (5) Too easy to trigger icons, covering up text. None of these should be hard to fix..AskoleVersion: 2.9

✓ ProblematicInsensitive to touch, difficult to maneuver, highlighted paragraph does not match up with the text being spoken, if the iPad is moved, the night lighting is undone and changed back to normal, author speaks clearly but with little affect and does not intone the dialogue as though people are speaking (also speeding up the audio does not do anything-maybe that's just for tts?) It's very clumsy. I regret buying the app..ThereviewboardVersion: 8.1
