I’ve been using it for long time and had enjoyed reading and listening while driving. But with the latest few updates, books had gone through heavy censorship. Characters are replaced by *s for some ridiculous reasons. For example, in Frank Kafka’s Castle(Chinese version), one sentence was read like the following “眼睛眉**刻不停地看着发生的一切”. It’s easy for Chinese people to understand what’s going on. The first character marked by * is “毛”, together with the character ahead it, “眉毛” means eyebrows and the second is “片”，together with the next character ”片刻” means moment．This should be the way and the only way to read it. However if a dumb people just falls in love only with these two censored characters, their meaning is adult video. To eliminate such a ridiculous possibility they have to be sacrificed. I’m not sure if this is violation of copyright but definitely a shame to Tecent.

I have been following at least 3 books in the past year with the free cards. One day, for no reason, a message showed up saying that I have to pay in order to continue reading those books, and this is when I still have more than 300 free reading cards. Couldn’t reach any customer service person that would care to respond to my issue. I would definitely not pay for the membership as you never know when you will suddenly encounter some issues but no one can provide any support.

The app is ok as an ebook reader. Its book store is good, with a huge collection of books. It is nice to offer a bunch of promotions and competitions to get free books or one-day-free pass, which is appealing. However, its bookshelf often categorizes the books in a wrong way. Some purchased books were put into unpurchased category. I don’t know whether it has been put in the wrong database or it is just a display mistake. I have the feeling that it overcharged my one-day passes when I read those titles.
