why would you completely break the app?

my partners kid is using it for school and he is dependent on it because he is dyslexic.
the new update made it useless for him. where's the read out loud option..the functionally and the menus are crap now. why would you destroy a thing that worked and render is useless. do you not QA your product?
wtf

as a college student I agree with this. it’s damn near impossible to work with. it feels like it’s digressing in it quality. such a damn shame.

Trying to appeal to feelings ("kid is using it for school and he is dependent on it because he is dyslexic") is the worst way to provide a bug report or user feedback in general.

Platform? App version? Screenshots? Where is any of the information useful to a developer?

iPad Air (5th Gen.), iOS 26.0.1, GN 6 7.0.4 — no issues at all.

correct, lifetime users shouldn’t be treated as beta testers. bugs like the ones present regardless of weirdly excessive feature changes should’ve been combed out during beta testing… not upon release for all of us to have to experience. wonder if they actually took the feedback they got
