Waste of time. Books do not completely show up in this app. Or there are too many redirects. What a pain.

GREAT reading/ebook app. Lots of classics are FREE! I have iphone 6 and easy reading screen!! Love it!

So so. Functionality excellent but too many ad interruptions.

Junk ware. Free version is absolutely useless it's just a way to get you to buy a paid version. You really can't read anything. UI is unfathomable. A total waste of time I would give negative stars.

STOP WORKING. Have used for years with great pleasure. This morning it stopped working: will not load catalog, and close when attempt to open current book being read. Attempted to reinstall with no change.

Excellent. Superb and Bravo!!

Listen to any of the 50k books!. I was initially skeptical of the claim but was amazed after testing it. Some of popular books are available in both human-read audiobooks and in text-to-speech, but I find the voice of Ava in tts is more than adequate for most of the books. I now can listen to any of the 50,000+ books when I cannot find time to sit down to read,on the bus, doing chores...

What happened?. This used be to a decent app. But now search doesn’t find anything but error 404. But on the website it finds what I’m looking for? Needs to be fixed!

great for readers. Works great except that I can't ge rid of the floating fanfiction ad even when I have the app.

I owe so much to project Gutenberg. I crossed my fingers and looked in the App Store just HOPING there would be an app which included SOME of project Gutenberg's titles and audio from their full website ...I am sooo excited to find this DEDICATED app with seemingly ALL of their wonderful content! Thanks ever so!!

Very functional. The list of book recommendation is very helpful. The simple introduction to each book and a link to Wikipedia is absolutely delightful!

Access Denied. Most buttons go to an "email a friend about Gutenberg" page or an Access forbidden page.

Der Untertan. Author Heinrich Mann Outrages app interruptions from Facebook! No star - should be a rating option. Inge

Who IS the idiot. They got rid of the useless black background in the search box ( with black script) but now it won’t search at all most attempts . Is a favorite app going to go the way of FREEBOOKS ? Time and tell .

Best Ebook Reader for Gutenberg & etal. Not only can you easily search and download the available books that you are interested in, but the reader will organize the chapters of the book and create a nice looking table of contents. Nice & beautiful presentation or layout. Easy to read. The best.

white on black. i can find no way to make it black on white

Yes there's a diff btwn Ads and No Ads. No ad-free experience-even when paying $ for pro version. Project Gutenberg has a wonderful history that is now regrettably sullied by all adverts.

Disappointing. why does this application not allow you to read the description of the book? It jumps ahead right away to the body of the book. And there's no way back to see the description. This is a major flaw. I would like to be able to read about what the book is that I am looking at.

TERRIBLE UPDATE. DELETED ALL MY OFFLINE BOOKS AND AUDIOBOOK! --- PREVIOUS REVIEW I've listened to hours of high quality audiobooks with this app and keep copies of several classic books in my pocket. The interface is well worth the 30 seconds it takes to learn it.

Great app. Don't bother with other wannabe Gutenberg apps go with this one it's the best

Unique page turning. Initial 2107 purchase: I am quite satisfied with the font size and page color. It is easy to find books and the downloaded library is eye catching but I can't seem to adjust to the pages turning options. Turning pages is done in a curling motion (like a power point presentation) with a choice of 3 speeds OR the page turning can be a flip. The flip is having the page do a complete turn around, like being skewered through the center and it slowly flips around until you can see the back of the page. I have tried both methods at all 3 curling speeds. The developer is very earnest and eager for me to like the "improvements" but personally, the page turning options offerred are a distraction. In all other respects this is a very good app. I would encourage you to try out the free version and see how you like it's performance. Update August 2018 Note: The developer responded to me three times to try out the various improvements. I suppose I may be a faster than normal reader and the wait as each page flips or curls eats into my reading time and interupts my focus on the story. I hope a less stylized page turn option (like the swipe in Kindle and iBooks or the continuous scroll in PDFs) is made available in future updates. But other than stylized page turning, this is a good app. Update Sep 2018: The developer responded to my updated reviews twice more so I decided to go with the in-app offers to see if it would improve page turing options. I now have two Himalaya Soft icons that behave the same. One has the word "pro" on it. The other doesn't. I received a combined Apple receipt for $2.99 for the Gutenberg Book Reader Pro app and another for $2.99 for the Gutenberg Project, Unlimited Reading app. I am at this point somewhat confused. I would prefer just one app that will meet my needs of finding, downloading and reading Gutenberg publications. I decided to delete both of the apps which offer the exact same page turning options. They both have a stand alone library which is not sycned between them. I found I can download the Gutenburg books directly from the website and send them to be read as PDFs in my Kindle app. With the Kindle app, I can tap the side of the page and it transitions instantly to the next page without a curl or flip. It takes more time to locate and download but to me the reading experience (especially page turning) is well worth it.

Works well. Works well. Beautiful page turning,

Amazing. Just amazing, audio books, and read-along with each reading word highlighted.

My favorite app. Thank you PG for this incredible gift. I went from being a tv potato to an avid reader. The most used app on my iPad by far..

Please erase me from the purchased list. Please erase me from the purchased list

Poor functionality. Every time you touch the screen wrong it flips the page around and sets you back to page one. Bookmark seems to work OK, but every time you use any in app function it sets you back to page one. Then you have to leave the book, remembering to say no when it tries to get you to bookmark your progress on page one), and re-enter the book to get back to your bookmark.

New Version Leaves a Lot to Be Desired. I used to be able to search the Audiobooks by Genre, but now you have to know what you are looking for which makes discovering new authors in your favorite category impossible. Please fix this.

Not gonna pay for free public domain books. This app used to be pretty good. I mean, it was glitchy and would often lose my place in the middle of a 500 page book, which was a huge pain. But I could live with it. But now reading is limited unless you get the paid version. Um, no. I will not pay somebody to read free, public domain books. Deleting the app as soon as I hit send.

ThanQ. Omg this is so cool I remember downloading books on my laptop now I have ipad and the luxury of Gutenberg App

Did not work. Could not download more than four pages of a book. Any book downloaded quickly became confused with other downloads. Useless.

Ebook Reader. 👎🏾

Gutenberg Reader. Nice app for readers but irritating to have so many ads that inhibits a steady and consistent read. Would be better to have a continuous ad at the bottom or top of the page than to have a full page ad that comes on several times in one minute and blocks off your ability to continuously read the material in the book. Bad setup app

Needs Work. Pop up ups for every action? books open at the end? Accessing the site through a browser is less frustrating.

It is all I wanted to do with books. I always wanted to read the best books ever published. But books are just like trees in a forest, most are of little value. With this app I get some of the best book recommendations. The list alone is worth the effort of downloading!

So incredible. To have all the classics at my fingerprints with one tap--holy crap. Genius, and well executed.

Ads. I have pd for two(2) life-time subsrptns in last few years while using my Apple iPhone4s. For Christmas present my daughter purchased my new phone an Apple 8s+. My Gutenberg Project Apps were transferred when memory was swapped out but the life-time credits were no where to allow my downloading. And I see the price has gone up. The price is fair for the value but I really do not wish to continue this dance annually. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you. Gratefully, I received the response awaited. In error I assumed I was being charged for the service repeatedly. I was wrong to my delight. On whole there is no way this app deserves anything less than five stars for the incredible service to literature of all genres. For that alone it remains the most valuable app on the internet. Thank you for the courtesy of a rapid response. wt

What? No ability to create favorite list?. New to using. I either missed it or there is no way to favorite and build a library for future reading/listening?

Read-A-Long nearly impossible to see… Useless Eye Strain. Yellow on Orange? It looks good in the screenshot but in real life it’s nearly impossible to see and follow along with. All those color combinations do is slowly make you go blind. I would consider paying for it if the paid version let me choose my favorite colors. To me what really pops is basic white on a basic blue background. Those color combinations are really good for cutting through background glare from lighting. How about it? A paid premium version where we could choose our own color combinations? Face it some people just like dark modes. It’s a good bit less of a battery drain overall. All the blue light before bedtime they say keeps us from getting a good nights sleep.

Simply the best. tried many Gutenberg Apps, none came close.

Pretty useless. I installed this app. It launched. I tapped “Gutenberg Bookshelves”. I tapped “Classics”. The app spun its wheels for a few seconds but nothing else happened. I tapped “Classics” again. This time the app froze. I deleted the app. One huge disappointment. My advice: don’t waste your time.

CUZ you're perfectly honest. Knowing what, the "qua", Knowing (that). Is knowing that way which we arrived at here. It's not some spooky illuminati Masonic davinci brown gizmo. It's like books, and knowing how to read them "actively"

Great app. Have had this app since it came on line, it is such a good app.

Good app. I am sorry for the negative review I have just sent to you. I just found the app hiding among the numerous others, I am sorry about that, I beg your forgiveness. The app is good and I do enjoy it after I get familiar with the tools. Thank you
