Gbooks worked really well for me ever since I got it. I like the UI and the amount of customization. But the Read aloud feature suddenly broke, with a severe stutter when the screen is off. No amount of uninstalling, reinstalling, clearing cache, adjusting battery etc has fixed it. Read aloud works fine when the screen is on, but that's not a great long term soln. Hoping for a fix but we all know this is low priority on the developer queue which is a shame. It's a nice app otherwise

This is my go to app for reading books but recently when I've been trying to read, it keeps skipping around. Like I'll try to do something while I'm reading and it'll just skip through half the book. And then I'll try to go back to where I was and it either takes forever bc I have to manually turn each page or it just goes back to where it skipped to. It's annoying

Not Very User Friendly! Drains the battery extraordinarily quickly! Can't change colors to a night reading option. Black text on white background ONLY. Once app is running, other phone features are blocked or delayed. Generally speaking, this is the worst book app I have used. Which is pretty unimpressive in 2022, when the genre is well established, a there are plenty of examples out there of successful reading apps. Would migrate my novels to another system if I could.

Easy to use. The new widget is awful and hard to use. It is clunky and the arrows are too much. The stack of books in the previous update showed off my reading list well and was easy to navigate. The current widget takes up just as much space and now does less and displays less books

The app has had significant library syncing / connectivity issues recently (and yes, my internet is great). new library additions don't show up in library, and since I tried deleting data and reloading it, now nothing shows up in my library. I can still read books I've bought by searching for them, but after reading app doesn't remember them. Also, it's super frustrating that search only really includes the store rather than being able to search my library purchases + uploads.

There is a yellow tint to the screen that stays on whenever even though night light and blue light filter are turned off. When I use the overview button the screen takes around a half a second to make everything back to normal. This only happens in app and ruins the colors of all the comics I have. This issue has been there for years and has not been fixed, even after contacting Google support.
