Pros and cons of EGW Writings 2 app for iPhone and iPad

EGW Writings 2 app good for

Thank you very much for this great work you have done. It is very nice to see that everything is very organized and you can easily find what you want. The different languages are all implemented. Great job so far. thank you
Congratulations to the EGW Estate team for a job well done. Talk about "leaves of autumn"! I love the fact that all languages are in one app, that I can download materials in any of them, and that we can now sync the Study Center via iCloud. Thank you for the Bibles and the audio readers.
Version 2 is a bit buggy and it crashes too much for my taste, but in its defence it is the first version of this new release. I am sure that the issues will be worked out in the near future. Until then, I will stick with version 1.
A really good app. Well thought out and an easy to use User interface. Love the new Study Center and easy sharing with others my favorite quotes. Contains every book from Ellen White everything you could wish for. Audiobooks, eBooks, Reference works, Adventist Pioneer works, etc.
I can tell they put a lot of work into this app...You can really customize your reading experience just how you like it. My only problem is sometimes with the horizontal swipe, you pull up the menu instead of going to the next page...that can get annoying.
I just want to say Thank you for making all Ellen Whites writings available. This is awesome. I think the complainers should just be thankful they have access to all Mrs. Whites works. The app will get better and the problems really are minor compared to the benefits. Thank You again.

Some bad moments

Crashes on starting. Have done the export step in the first EGW app...
Opening simple direct book references with page numbers does take several minutes and oftentimes does not open the reference at all, while the online sites give almost immediate feedback. Navigating through periodicals is hard (try to open RH 1914 for example), you have to scroll through endlessly. Synchronization between the online study center doesnt seem to be possible. Im switching to the old App until there is some significant improvement.
The search feature seems to only work when you are online or connected to the Internet. Thats bad. If I have downloaded the books on the device why can it not search those books are material. Version 1 of the app search tool is exemplary.
The previous app was great! This one is slow, non-responsive and frustrating in saving/loading your highlights/bookmarks. This app needs to be fixed from freezes and bombing out. Not worth downloading if it works like this...
App is fantastic!!! The Audio book addition to EGW2 is awesome and worked great in the first versions... BUT, the last 2 updates have ruined my audiobook experience. I had many downloaded onto my phone and after an update they were ALL GONE. Disheartening and Discouraging! When attempting to reinstall there were problems. Some chapters downloaded and other continued to say "live" and wouldnt play. Not sure if anybody else is having these problems, but when this is fixed youll get 5 stars.
This app needs to be upgraded, primarily in the speed category. It also glitches a lot and closes unexpectedly sometimes.
