Mauvaise qualité de françaisLes livres sont mal traduits, manquent de sérieux, la mise en page est tellement mal faite que ça nuit à la compréhension des dialogues et l’application coûte bien trop cher. De plus, lorsqu’on souhaite lire sans payer il faut ouvrir/lire une bonne quinzaine de pubs par chapitre.
