This app provides a terrible experience on a phone-- It is unusable on a small device. You cannot adjust the text size. You can do something like a zoom but the virtual pages float around inexplicably, jumping erratically. It's impossible to scroll or page through a book. Compared with something like Amazon's kindle app, it's appallingly bad.

There is a need for an option to turn off auto-syncing across devices. While this is a good default setting for most, it's incredibly frustrating when I am studying from my reading device (my tablet) and need to go back to other chapters (on my mobile) to return to the fact that the phone has synced to my current page on my tablet and therefore losing the critical position I had stored, especially when it's an informative subject such as Java. Finally, uploads are unavailable across devices.

Very handy for school on the go! Love all the features, especially the Read Aloud capability. Even though it's a computer voice and it reads literally everything on a page including photo citations - that part could be improved. But hey, I'm grateful for this capability that I can Read by the pool or listen on my commute, very convenient!
