(2 stars)Just updated (to 1.3.0.4573) on my iPad 3, and my page-turn setting was changed from 3-D to sliding page turns. In fact, the option no longer even appears in the settings menu! Why has this feature been removed? Will it ever be restored? And perhaps the biggest question: Why does Google not mention this downgrade in their "What's New in Version 1.3.0" section? For those who wish to retain the aesthetics of this feature, beware of u App crashes on loading -every time. (1 star) Love the idea behind this but the execution leaves much to be desired. Always crashes while loading. Never fails to crash. Absolutely repeatable. missing "3-D Page Turns" on iPad 3 (4 stars) Problem with bookmarks sometimes not deleting, but instead duplicating. iPad 3 is missing "3-D Page Turns" option, but it is still available on iPad 2 & iPod Touch 4. Also, iPad 3 needs retina display update for icons on top-right of page (Contents, Settings, Find, Info). Otherwise, good update.
