What a difference a year makes! (1 star)
A great showcase app a year ago which has withered on the vine due to having no support from the developers. Like others, I bought this app on the promise of more books (this promise was prominently featured in the description at that time) that never came. Of course, there was a long awaited very minor update which was so minor it only served to rub salt in the wounds. The support and suggestion page is a dead end. Keep in mind most of the

LIARS!!!!!!! (1 star)
