Trying to use this app to read books in new languages. I am taking advantage of the highlight to read aloud function. Having each paragraph auto translated is very helpful. However, I wish that there was a way to have the TTS play at the same time as the translation. I want to hit a word and hear the pronunciation and see the translation at the same time. This would save me so much time. Edit: I decided since the app is open source, I can just add the feature myself. And I did! 5/5 stars!

One of the best, good looking app I have come across. It is exactly what i needed. Have bought the LTF too, just two feedback, or feature requests. If the account sync could also sync layout, theme, spacing settings, it would be amazing.

was my fav reading app until the read aloud/text to speech feature doesn't work for me. It's been a couple of days and I've tried clearing the cache, but it's still not working. I can't put myself to clear the data or uninstall-reinstall the app because the last time I did it i lost all the books in my library, the backup and restore feature didnt work. *update: i updated to the latest version and its working again!

The TTS issue is fixed in 0.12.16 version which is still under review in Google Play. Once the review is completed, you can update to this version to fix the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.
