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

CRASHY. Not intuitive. I've spent more time watching the little circle "thinking" icon spin than actually reading. I wasted ten minutes trying to figure out how to set bookmarks -- not comments or highlights, just bookmarks -- to no avail. If there's a way to set my entire library to default to private/"only me", I haven't yet found it. Overall? Unimpressed.

I enjoy the book selection. It is great to have books loaded in my phone to read anywhere. However, the audio book playing needs revision. It initially plays for several minutes very nicely, then keeps stopping. I can start it again by pressing play twice. But the whole point of an audio book is the ability to do other tasks as I listen. If my hands are wet or dirty, it is very annoying to keep stopping to clean or dry my hands as I work, just to be able to start the book again.
