Update: removed a star due to the increasing amount of bugs I keep finding. Sometimes books will never download or stay in a download state forever, other times I can't never unsuscribe from a book and the only solution that seems to work is to uninstall the app and re-download which is very inconvenient. Otherwise I still prefer this app for this type of reading and hope the bugs get fixed soon

The idea is great! I love it except I can barely use it. I must have dark mode (I know I'm not the only one) and want to request it. I dont mind if it doesn't have many features but it does need dark mode and the ability to enlarge the font. edit: excited to read about dark mode coming! Will be watching for it. Yes I've made my font larger but it could go even larger for me 😃

This app works amazingly well. I have read a lot more classic books since getting it than I otherwise would have. The concept of bite-sized deliveries was a bit weird to me at first, but it worked really well for some books. I also ended up getting the premium (which is such a good deal) so I have the option to read ahead if I want to. I like the customization options for fonts and light/dark mode, and sync works well (changed phones a couple of times and didn't lose my progress).
