Does Not Work. At all
I downloaded the app. You start with an empty library. You are supposed to hit the plus sign to go to the store and add books. The store never loads. I’ve not downloaded a single book because it won’t load. I’ve reached out to the app. I’ll update the review with more info as it comes.
United StatesBookstore never loads
Their bookstore never loads. This is taking up space on the AppStore. Deleting the app today.
United StatesIt used to work
I cannot get to the Bookstore. When I try, the store never loads.
United StatesWhat a pity
This appears to be abandonware, completely inoperable, which is a shame because it seemed promising. Why is it still in the App Store?
United StatesGreat for language learners!
Spanish, German, English and French are the languages offered in the five classic books. These are some of the most popular stories. An incredible app except that it was never finished. Still it is quite useful and free with no commercials.
United StatesGreat help
It’s really smart to improve your language by reading a great book and as well improving your third language :)
