Edit: Uninstall and reinstall the app. It prompts you to allow storage access again. Old: This app is great almost 100% of the time, however, for some ebooks that have long chapters, the app will sometimes start to slow down whenever its doing an animation (scrolling, page turning, tap to bring up menu, etc.). This also doesn't always happen and isn't consistent, with a given chapter being super slow one day and fine the next.

It's great, just wish there was a way to reorder the categories, and add a book to more than one category at once Edit: recently when transferring books between devices, it won't sync my annotations. Very frustrating as I annotate everything I read Edit 2: for some reason it won't let me open any of my books, saying the file in unavailable. Can't figure out what's going on but may need to find a different app with all the issues coming up recently

Cassandra Moore, 2024-08-10

Previously great, but like other folks have reported, as of spring 2024, it won't open books due to permissions problems with accessing files on the phone (nor am I prompted to grant permissions again, as other apps do). I've emailed the dev and gotten no response, which has been true for other issues over the years, too. It's a real bummer because I've loved this reader and have lots of notes and bookmarks in it.
