Tried this app out again, and it freezes up. I was unable to do much of anything after login. The website worked ok. FAQs did not help. I tried to contact the admin for the app, and there was no response.
Okay. Does its job but rather simple.
Garbage database/vendor Usability is impossible to understand and downloading and reading is NEVER a smooth experience. Will be recommending my library pull this vendor
Antiquated. Terribly slow.
sick:)
I sincerely wish I could do negative stars. This is literally the worst ebook app on the market today and I have no idea how they are still in business. I am a librarian and I frequently use Libby, Hoopla, and CloudLibrary which all have their strengths and weaknesses but are overall very good. Freading only has weaknesses. It does not load correctly. It says its files are too big to read on a mobile device when I am on my computer. Unless you love being frustrated DO NOT USE FREADING.

Doesn't work anymore. Used to work on my Android tablet and phone, albeit glitchy, but worked. Last month or so it crashes every time I try to open a book. Maybe just an Android problem, I don't know. Tried all the recommended fixes, but app is dead in the water.

Unusable, crashes on launch.
Long signup process, forces you to get an adobe id that is VERY intrusive and it still does not work

“Its a great time killer!”
“I think the app is better than some reviewers have rated it.”
“Yes, it is simple and has few features but it does the job, gets books from freading and let's you read them, text can resized for those of us who need it an…”
A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
