I want to like this app...but it crashes A LOT and it's not user friendly. It's not great for audio books. You can't view a chapter list and click what chapter you want to listen to. If you want to go back or fwd to a different chapter, you have to rewind or fast forward to get there and then the app crashes when you do so. The book will also continue to play if you get a phone call or don't stop it. You will go back to listen and be 4 chapters ahead.

The Glose app has been ok for reading for the most part, but setting up shelves is not at all intuitive. I managed to set up a new shelf to get a completed book on but haven't been able to move it off the main shelf - now it is on two shelves. The all books listing is very cluttered, and it's hard to find whether I have a book or not by the tiny pictures of the covers - a list would be an improvement. A good instruction manual within the app would be a good idea
