Hello and thank you for this amazing app.
I've been using this app for a year and have enjoyed it very much. I have a few suggestion that could make it better.
Sorry in advance if these were already suggested or if I am too dumb to notice they were already added.
1. A book progress synchronization between the pc and the android app (using wifi would be preferable) or atleast an option to save them in a text file so that i can create a workaround myself xD.
2. To automatically add new books if a new one was detected in a pre-selected folder.
It would be cool to support sub-folders as in my case my books folder looks like:
C:\Documents\Books\Book1
C:\Documents\Books\Book2
C:\Documents\Books\Book3
...
Thanks for reading my suggestions and sorry for my poor english as it's not my first language.
Have a nice day!

Thank you for your suggestions.  Concerning point #1, the existing feature 'synch using internet' should do what you need. Go into the settings screen and set 'synch using internet' = 'yes' on both your devices, check (for example by opening the OneDrive book source) that Freda can access OneDrive on both devices, and book progress should now be synchronised automatically.

As for the 2nd point, this is actually quite difficult to do in Freda, because of Microsoft security settings.  Freda does not have permission to access your PC's file system generally (it's only allowed to access files when you actually click on the file name, as presented in a system popup screen).  Microsoft impose this security policy on apps that are offered in the Store, in order to protect you from malware.  I could try to get additional permissions for Freda, but this is something that Microsoft do not do easily, so it could take a lot of time and effort.  It would also make it more difficult for me to update the app.  It is something that I am considering but, because of these difficulties, I am not hurrying to do it.

You have a nice day too - and indeed a happy new year
