If you like to read, you'll love this app

I read,a lot. This site allows you to not only read, you can track what you read, you are provided with a status report on your reading goals, you are ranked with other readers on the site plus you earn BookShout Bucks just for reading. You can use these bucks to apply to future purchases. Doesn't get any better than this
Love this app but...

This app has become my go to for reading, I even ditched my kindle, BUT I've noticed over the last few weeks there have been a lot of glitches. Like my reading words not adding up like they should on the computer by fine on my phone. And having trouble turning the page sometimes, like it will take me backwards or skip a chapter. While the issues are mainly on computer and not the app, I still would love to get it resolved!
Horrible reading app - visual distractions

There seems to be no way to turn off the top menu or the progress at the bottom. It never lets you forget you are reading on a computing device. Unlike the Kindle apps which totally get out of your way and JUST. SHOW. THE. TEXT.
Doesn't work on Apple Watch

Had to sign up to download any book from their website. Poor collection of books. The reader doesn't work on Apple Watch. Just says coming soon.

Their books are sometimes frustrating to order. You pick a book for your cart, and when you go to pay the cart is empty. So you have to repeat sometimes 3-4 times before you can get the book. Also, they may have the same book as BookBub at the same price. But then they add taxes. A few cents here and there adds up. Sometimes I get so frustrated trying to order that I just go to BookBub and save a few cents with no order frustration. Also, they do not display the time like BookBub does. So you have to back out of the application to check the time. Same thing to check battery charge. Annoying. I do like seeing how much I’ve read and seeing my ranking compared to others. That’s why I use BookShout. It compensates for some of the annoyance.
Latest update made it worse

Latest update took away the ability to tell how many words you have read - it only indicates when you have reached the daily goal. I liked that it told you how many words because I always read way beyond the goal, but now I can’t see how much I have read. It was already frustrating because at the end of each chapter it seemed to lose some of your total words, and the only way to get them back was to go back to the end of the previous chapter long enough to read it again before proceeding. PLEASE FIX!
