    I originally loved this app, but because it is no longer updated for newer versions of android, many of the settings don't work anymore.

    I love it except it doesn't recognize the epub mobi files on my newer phones. Please fix this. I paid for it for a reason and now I can't use it.

    the app doesn't load files from the internal drive. there isnt an option to select files to load from folders. It just shows the storage location which can't be selected, and no keyboard comes up to manualy select a file from a folder. Copy and paste works, but it is cumbersome to highlight and copy an entire book. Please fix this issue, and I will amend my rating.
