Gutenberg Book Reader App Reviews

Most elegantly designed book reader!. Have been using this app for many years now. Without any doubt this is the most elegantly designed book reader. It gives me the pleasure of holding a real book in hands and flipping the pages with my fingers. I truly appreciate that the developer keeps updating this app, which always amazes me how they could recoup the cost of such a huge undertaking. Thank you, developer.

The paid version is better and cheaper. Used both the free and the paid versions. For $2.99 you are free from the pop-up. However, if you are unwilling to part with your $2.99, you can continue to use the free version without limit, that was what I did in the past until I finally decided that I deserve to enjoying my reading in peace.

???. I paid but the ad banner is still there. What happened?

Pretty good - annoying audio. The app works well, its a nice interface, typeface is clear. The audio turns itself on, when I have not opened the app and is annoying. I have tried to shut it down, but can only doing so by turning off my ipad.

Guttenburg Press. The Best

Boring UI. The UI is so boring.

Problematic. Insensitive to touch, difficult to maneuver, highlighted paragraph does not match up with the text being spoken, if the iPad is moved, the night lighting is undone and changed back to normal, author speaks clearly but with little affect and does not intone the dialogue as though people are speaking (also speeding up the audio does not do anything-maybe that's just for tts?) It's very clumsy. I regret buying the app.

best for reading gutenberg. Best for reading or listening to Gutenberg books. For $1.99 I get to use it for the last two years and I am sure many more years to come. Thank you developer for releasing so many new versions.

TTS. I use TTS and it works pretty good. The voices actually have some inflection in them so they sound pretty good. Every once in awhile it gets stuck and I get a spoken error message that I think says something like “evaluate the owner of string”. I just turn it off and restart it and go back to page.

Guetenberg - A world of books!!!!. This is a great app that needs a OSX Mac companion app (only thing really missing) that can synced thru iTunes or iCloud. I have read so many good old detective mystery books I think I ran out!!! I am into fiction and drama now, so we will see what surprises await!

Sorta works. You can read with this, sometimes without annoyance. Issues: (1) If you don't open the app for a while (overnight), the app forgets the book you were reading and page you were on unless you manually save it. (2) Way too easy to swipe to new chapter when swiping to new page. (3) Often refuses to advance to next page when images are on current page. Generally does not handle images well. (4) When you download a book from Bookshelves, app takes you back to home page and you have to climb back through the menu choices to load another book. (5) Too easy to trigger icons, covering up text. None of these should be hard to fix.

A delight. And now with dark mode.

waste.. waste of a buck. pointless, poorly programmed, poorly designed. just go download what you need from the Project Gutenberg site and open it in a real e-reader.

Fantastic!. It is so much easier to use Gutenberg now! Thank you developers for making this useful app!

Nothing to see here. This is nothing more than you can find on any one of a dozen free “classic” book apps. I’m reading some Hemingway on the free Gutenberg website, but the PDF formatting can be a bit challenging. So I figured I would find the same here in a more reader friendly format. Wrong. Just the same old Sherlock Holmes and Jane Austen that litter the free readers that are rampant in the App Store. Save yourself three bucks and run from this thing as fast as you can.

Simply amazing. This little app is so easy to use. I typed in the search box 'beagle' I immediately found Darwin's beagle. It also recommended a list of audio books. I downloaded the text version. Then much to my surprise, I could listen to the text using a TTS voice, which I actually like. Now I am mixing reading and listening depending on my mood of the time. Simply amazing!

Underrated App!. So amazing being able to access so many amazing books 😁 love it! Edit: unfortunately paid twice to remove ads and they're still there 😠 paid for full version because loved the product, and paid for remove ads separately after since I thought it might be extra, neither worked; so frustrating
