new update has made this app not even load on my phone terrible app
Goodness me! Trying to set this up for my mum. It's so ludicrously complicated. Even registering is not sign posted. An abject failure of an app,overly complicated and so user unfriendly. 0/10
This app has always been glitchy but the latest release has made it worse on my Samsung phone. I am 2/3 the way through a book and the app has crashed several times so that I have to restart it. Whether I have closed it or it has crashed, when I restart the book it always begins at 27%. I have to set regular bookmarks so that I don't have so much searching to do. it's extremely frustrating.

This used to be a great app, that would allow me to listen to files on my device for free and was a great tool for accessibility. However, they have now removed the ability to add most file types such as ePub, and only allow you to add PDFs, except to add PDFs you have to pay for premium. So, essentially, as a free user you are unable to upload any files. This is really disappointing as I loved this app, and now cannot use it at all.

Hi Sophia, thanks for your feedback. While some features require a subscription, you can still import and read up to 5 of your own books in EasyReader for free. Subscriptions help support ongoing improvements, new features, and keep EasyReader accessible to everyone.
Really enjoy listening but the recent change to the screen layout has resulted in a poorer experience. Both sets of arrows seem to jump to the next chapter, rather than the 2 minutes I have set, but worst is the progress bar, which no longer shows position in chapter, only in book. Not knowing how many minutes are left makes it difficult to set the sleep timer. Not good changes Gets worse-uninstalled/reinstalled because it wouldn't log me in. lost all my books. downloaded one-unsupported?

Hi Barbara, thank you for your feedback. I've passed your comments on to the EasyReader development team for review and consideration. If you have any further feedback or suggestions, please feel free to contact us at inapp@yourdolphin.com. We really appreciate your support.
After updating to the latest version of the app Wow, excellent update. Especially the play/pause, fast forward, and rewind. All three controls are available on the lock screen. Excellent update, wow!

Hi Karan, thanks for your feedback. EasyReader currently supports TalkBack as our recommended screen reader, as it follows Android accessibility standards and is maintained across updates. If you’d like Auto TTS support added, please submit a feature request through our bug report form https://yourdolphin.com/EasyReader/Report-a-Bug.
Keeps breaking down and often takes me back to square one when it reopens so it is guesswork to find the right spot again.

Thank you for your review and feedback. We're glad to hear that EasyReader is helping learners and students. Our goal is to make reading and learning as accessible and effective as possible, and we appreciate hearing how the app is being used. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve EasyReader further, we'd love to hear from you.
It's so buggy I don't even know where to start. Logging into my library account is super hit-or-miss and sometimes requires several attempts. The bookshelf itself struggles to load most of my books, if at all. Playback often forgets my position. UI features have little for customization. And yet this app is the only one that works with DAISY direct-to-player that I find myself tolerating it still.

“Love this app, so easy to use and get access to your books.”
“The free voice is bearable, however, with the premium voices priced at £6.99 each, it would be good if there was a preview paragraph read by each to help pic…”
“Love this app, so easy to use and get access to your books.”
“Searching for books on the app is challenging in that a book title, not just an author, is needed.”
“I love how simple it is to change text size, colours and fonts.”
A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
