Glassboxx 12+

My first, one-star, review of this app, a year or so ago, described it as dreadful and unusable, and I stopped using it altogether. Now I have to say that it has improved significantly. It seems stable; it has not lost my books again; it can display in landscape. It feels like version 1.0 should have felt. One functionality gap is the ability to highlight a word or phrase and look it up. I suspect this is linked to the desire to prevent the copying of text, but all it means is that one has to screenshot/OCR text to paste it elsewhere; thereby making work for the user without achieving the app builder’s aim. The lightweight authentication process appears to work, and I like how that works (but wonder what happens if the company were to disappear - presumably my library would disappear too?) I haven’t yet tried the audiobook reader, so will not comment on that.

Thank you for the feedback, Ben - it is much appreciated. We haven't yet got the ebook reader in landscape for you but hopefully the new version of the app has resolved the opening and whirling timer issue you described. Our Support Team are always available at glassboxxhelp@firstygroup.com to help with app issues.

No download was showing when I opened the Glassboxx app but after contacting customer support it all got sorted out quickly.

Thank you very much for the feedback and we are glad this has now been resolved for you!

I am really fed up with this app. I thought that it could not get any worse, but I was wrong. At least before the latest update it was possible to increase the size of the print and turn the phone onto its side so that you could get the whole page on the screen. Now, I either have to get a magnifying glass or keep moving the screen from side to side after increasing the font size. Also when I opened up the app it took me back to the start of the book and I had to go through over 60 pages to get back to where I was. Basically not happy and seriously contemplating moving back to hard copy having used my phone for my BRF Bible reading notes for several years without any problems until it was switched to this app, which is causing me considerable irritation

I am so sorry for the frustration caused. The new app version does have many exciting features available! Please do reach out to our customer service team at help@glassboxx.com as they would be very happy to provide you with further information regarding this.
