Reviews
Very disappointed

To whom it may concern I would really like for you to do an update. I loved this app
Great app but ...

Similar to other people's comments the chapter select button does not work and more books would be nice!
Fix. It. Fix it.

Fun until all the crashes take over. I doubt these developers care anymore though. Don't expect wonders.
Kicks me out

I like this app, but every time I try the book chapter menu, it kicks me out! Please fix! Thank you!
App crashes every time

Seriously a waste of .99 Fix the problems! You deserve 0 stars but apparently I have to leave one.
Be wary!!

Update: Aug 2012, after all this time with no updates or fixes, the app now crashes every time you use the contents/chapter feature. Re-install did not solve either. I have emailed(only way to contact them) "customer support" 3 times last month with the same question and never got a reply--even watched the spam folder. ALSO, with no updates in so long, it looks like they have abandoned this program so unless you are happy with just the present titles, don't buy. But, If they fix this, I will up my rating to the max.
Once upon a time

This wasn't a bad app. It is simply very out of date with no new books and a chapter selection crash bug. Look around at other options before getting this one. Fixing the bug will up this to 4/5 stars. Updating it again will make it 5/5.
Broken chapter selection.

A great app which works fantastic on my iPod, but lately i've gotten it on my iPad. The button that allows you to select a chapter will cause the app to crash causing a major inconvenience. Once they fix it, definitely would rate five stars.
