Built-in ads


(2 stars)

The reading itself is good (and would be the better of the two currently available if not for some major faults). The big issue with this reading is that it has a lot of built-in ads, on top of the ads within this application.

Unfortunately I find myself in the difficult position of needing to apologize for another delay. There's some good news to this apology, though. The main reason (aside from my having a 6 day work week in September and October) is that I'm currently composing music for the upcoming 2-hour, 6-part ...
