Looks good
Nice job guys, but a lack of landscape viewing is a waste of an iPad app. Five stars if this changes.
unusable
No landscape mode and this gives -1 star. Sluggish when you turn pages gives another -1 star. Too often most of the interactive elements on pages need some sort of pixelhunting, many of the controls are simply not obvious (-1). The most outraging bug is that when you open the last page and try to scroll farther, you won't know that this page is last, you won't see any indication of this, the only thought that comes to your mind is that the app is hung, until you swipe back. In the end this gives another -1 and 1 of stars in total, no more.
Crashes; no landscape mode
Good concept, yet crashes and NO landscape mode.
Neither is acceptable!
