Bugs in software and no response from support. Paid for a year subscription on my device and the app doesn't recognise that I have paid when I log in with exactly the same details on a different device. No response to my last two emails to support so now I have paid for an app I can't even use.

Like the concept, easy to use app and looks good on a tablet. Issue is lack of content and quite a high price for monthly subscription with no guarantee of future content added. As most of the books can be found for free in local library don't see the need to pay

I have had quite a lot of problems accessing this app since i paid for it. The help desk can't find my information even though i sent it as a picture. I bought the app to be able to "read" to my daughter while I can't speak as I've had surgery on my vocal cords. Now the app hasn't been accessible for a week since i notified help desk. Not great... The app in itself is ok but I haven't been able to pause in the middle of a page, I always have to restart at the top of a page.

Dear Andreas, firstly, we are so sorry for the delay in replying to your review. The delay is totally unacceptable, not to mention the app not working when you needed it the most. We hope that our customer services team were able to help you get this sorted in the end. Thank you for your custom and for bringing this to our attention. Best wishes.
