First the app upgraded itself without permission, then it took so long to re-import all my books. The app itself, whilst okay, has lost a lot of the features of the original classic version which made it brilliant. However, it now will not even let me access my bookshelf, simply freezing my phone any time I try to access it. I have tried everything short of re-installing (which would make me lose my library and have to spend forever trying to re-import my files)!!! Hate this version! Avoid.

Perhaps an unfair review as I havent used the app yet, but this is because the old version forced an unexpected update, and is now importing my old library across. This has so far taken over 36 hours, and is barely a third of the way through. I can only hope that my tags, collections and progress within each book will remain. Given the glacial speed at which the import is taking place, I certainly hope so.

Hello, if your library contains a lot of books, it is normal that the migration progress takes some time. In the 4.3.6 update, you are now able to select multiple files in order to accelerate the progress. Thank you.

Back to this app recently to read more. Was great now not so much... irritating ads and not being able to change/Add cover art like I used to be able to. Still going with it and hoping it re-connects with users in the way it did before. Down to 1* as help link is NO help. Feels like the developers have totally lost interest in this App. Marginally better than the Kindle App. Lists but No longer loads my books. Dead App.
