  1. Ability to key in go to page "x"

    Scrolling is fine but for those without fine motor skills or that need to quickly go to a known page, entering the number is far more efficient.

    • Fix navigation when using VoiceOver to read: pages and bookmarks do not work

      Configure Read2Go so you are reading with VoiceOver doing the text to speech.
      Now try and use navigation by page or bookmark.

      The end result when you choose either of these options is that navigation starts back at the top of the book. This makes using VoiceOver to read almost useless because getting back to a place in a book is so tedious.

      • offer additional fonts.

        As an arthritic, but also mild dyslexic, Arial is tougher for me to read than Times New roman or Comic Sans.

        • Cannot us other apps while listening

          Can not use other applications will listening to a book being read by Read2Go. If I want to check mail or do anything else while Read2Go is playing the book and I go to another application such as mail or photos, Read2Go stops.

            • Work on Stopping Lockups

              Read2go tends to lock up and when you go back into the program it is many pages back from your last reading position. It would be a great improvement if this could be resolved.

                • Allow users to organize books on customized bookshelves in their "library."

                  Currently, users only have the option to sort downloaded books by Title, Author, or Latest download. Rather than having just a single "Bookshelf" that holds all my titles, it would be nice if I could organize the books in my "library" onto multiple and custom "bookshelves." I would like the ability to see all the books I'm reading for pleasure in one place, and all the books and textbooks I'm reading for school in another place, etc

                  Right now, I've got textbooks next to Stephen King novels next to other school books, a small collection of computer programming books (a…

                  • Timer or Count Down Clock

                    Most schools like to track student reading time. It would be wonderful if there was an option for students to keep track of how much time they spend reading. In addition, many teachers and parents will tell a child "read for x minutes" and having a timer would help them stay on track instead of repeatedly asking "how much longer".

                    • Offer additional voices in Read2Go

                      It would be so wonderful if the voices were more human, not so choppy. I don't know how this could be done but it would be a breakthrough for users.

                      • Add New York Times Best Sellers to catagory search

                        I think it would be cool to see the listing of the New York Times best sellers as a catagory when one goes to look through the catagory listing on the search screen. Actally, all the other catagories such as teacher recommended readings, etc would be great as well.

                            It would be great to be able to subscribe to a 'channel' be it a paper or a category or an author or a list from my teacher that will automatically start downloading the content when i connect and turn on the application.

                            • Application fees

                              I would love to buy the app but I think that if this app is used in schools with special education students then this app should be free for these students. This is something that is mandatory to help these students get through everyday educational skills. I hope you consider because a lot of parents and educator would agree on.

                                I have Print Disabilities and someone i love gave me am iPad for school. bookshare.org gave me access to textbooks for school. you can get this
                                app free for Android but you want $20.00 for the app for Apple.

                                Maybe for the people with Print Disabilities that are trying to go to school that are struggling with everything including reading not have to skip lunch for week just to get the app for less?

                                • Add Account Inactive Notification and Account Management

                                  So there I was, just having logged into Bookshare from the app. I did several searches, and everything I searched for was comign up unavailable. I didn't make the connection immediately, and went a little nuts, though I finally discovered through logging into the site that my subscription was inactive. A notification of this when logging in or starting the app would be fantastic, and along with that, perhaps a way to manage your account from within the app.

                                      Also, if there is a turn one page option in the future maybe scroll bar could show page number if page turn feature on. I think it is hard for kids who are used to thinking in pages numbers to think in percentages of the whole book. Students may need to reference the page number when writing about or discussing book in educational setting.

                                      • Allow first use registration due to extreme difficulties with signing-in.

                                        I've never registered to use Read2Go, yet I am asked to sign-in. With no hint as to which prior sign-in Read2Go is asking for, I have spent nearly an hour trying to complete the sign-in procedure. In the last 10+ years I have used several email addresses, user names and Passwords. Is there a way to register upon first usage?
