I do a lot of reading on my phone, and I've tried almost all the apps over the past 10 or 15 years. I always come back to Moon+ because it does all the important things I need quickly and easily, such as searching the book for characters and places, highlighting, turning pages quickly, etc. This app, unfortunately, does not seem to do any of these. In fact, I had problems simply reading a book. I really hate to say this, but this is the worst ebook reader I've ever tried to use.

Edit: Uninstall and reinstall the app. It prompts you to allow storage access again. Old: This app is great almost 100% of the time, however, for some ebooks that have long chapters, the app will sometimes start to slow down whenever its doing an animation (scrolling, page turning, tap to bring up menu, etc.). This also doesn't always happen and isn't consistent, with a given chapter being super slow one day and fine the next.
