The range of books is amazing although the quality of some recordings seems to be from the dark ages. But the constant glitches are SOOOO frustrating. We have books that we're part way through and then they won't reopen. I use 2 devices but often neither will respond. I was so excited when my husband joined vision australia and this app was made available giving him access to books he loves. Such a great idea, but it seems like there's no real support or money to back it up. What a shame.

Great variety of books, but the app fails. About every page, I have to turn the app on again, which, as you can imagine, is very frustrating. 29/12/2023
