Pros and cons of Parallel Texts Reader app for iPhone and iPad

Parallel Texts Reader app good for

Cannot activate any of the audio features. Please help. Otherwise, great language tool and good value.
This app looks very useful! Unfortunately the Eng/Spanish texts added in the last update (July 2013) do not show up on my iphone. Hopefully the developer will fix this!
It is awesome! Yet there are some features I really miss: 1. Recent books list 2. When pronouncing words it stops the music but does not resume it after that Probably full words definition could be useful too
Something modern. More Stephen King for example. Thanks for good app

Some bad moments

Very useful, there is a free version, but the paid subscription should allow to access full audio and more books. I paid for it, only problem is that I cant access the content. If this bug is corrected Ill give a perfect rating. Still, free version is better than nothing.
Very useful and well-done! Thank you so much for making such a great app! If you could add more ru-en books, written in modern day Russian, that would be wonderful!
App is good, however you are unable to add translated text to the word list (only the original one). More books always appreciated.
I would really like this app to work, but I get a "Language List Failed to Load" error on startup. I hope this gets developed further: parallel text reading on the iPad seems like a great opportunity.
