Give option to have it read to you OR read it yourself without text to speech running
Sometimes students just need access to the book in a larger font and would like to read the text themselves; especialy in reading instruction. There is no way to navigate without the text to speech settings.

Add Workout Mode
Love the app! However the app is very delicate, the slightest touch stops the playback or brings up an unwanted menu.
It is difficult to slip it into your pocket while listening. It also saps battery very quickly based on its screen always being on and A processing usage. A dim screen or lock screen/playback mode might help.

Read2Go has SIGNIFICANT user and accessibility challenges when trying to download Bookshare books using an iPad
Read2Go has been nothing but a disappointment. After purchasing a month ago, my daughter still cannot download books using her Bookshare log in information, Tech support has been aware of, and addressing, this situation for over two weeks, and the issue remains. The issue is: While on the iPad, you go to sign in with the Bookshare log in and password, a pop up of "User Authentication" comes up, not allowing you to sign in or download any books. Tech support has not been able to fix this and has suggested multiple "go arounds"...all of which have failed miserably. Caution…

Delay in highlighted word and audio voice.
In Read:OutLoud this problem is solved by adjusting pitch, and in Victor Reader Soft it was very prominent and not adjustable. ReadPlease and Balabolka this delay does not exist and is not problem, but they are a text to speech software which works by clipping and pasting. This is a big quality issue.

Don't display the page number blocks
The pag number blocks aren't needed on a tablet - take out that XML as a display element and simply keep it in metadata so it can be referenced - displaying it is kind of a mess

Before adding any new features, please fix the app so I can read a book without the app crashing.
MIT crashes fifteen to twenty five times in a three hundred page book.

provide a "full-screen" mode so only book text is displayed on screen.
Many iPad and iPhone apps allow you to tap the screen to hide surrounding bars. My 6-year-old daughter is always requesting some way to remove the navigation bars on the top and bottom, like with other reader apps. I assume this would be fairly low-hanging fruit to implement. Please consider adding this feature to make the entire screen real estate usable for reading.

Add a timer feature to Read2Go
Having the ability to have a timer setting for when I fall asleep listening to books would be great!

Have an option to turn off sentence highlighting and scrolling
Or am I just not adjusting settings correctly. I turned off audio for visual reading but the highlighting and scrolling is still happening. This is an awesome feature but for most of my students right now they just want a page of text in large print. So great so far though!

How's this? In a book, You can Swipe left for previous phrase, swipe right for next phrase, swipe down to Toggle play/stop and swipe up to change the functions Of swiping Left and Right. So us blind users don't have to grope for those controls, And of course, a setting to turn this on and off. Also, will you make a feature that makes the book display in the lock screen, While the book is playing, So we won't have to unlock the screen just to Pause rewind, or fast forward the book, Like the feature that music playing apps…
