Pros and cons of Sherlock Holmes Complete Collection (all 9 volumes) app for iPhone and iPad

Sherlock Holmes Complete Collection (all 9 volumes) app good for

This is a great reader. You can customize backgrounds and fonts. Plus the entire Holmes Collection for .99 is a price you cant beat.
Usually I am not so nitpicky that I downgrade a 5 star application to a 4 star one, but this annoys me to no end. Under the icon on the home screen it says "Sherlo...ction". Very unappealing. Please make it say something like "Sherlock" or "Holmes". *** The main library screen is a bit cluttered and not pleasing. An update here as well would thrill me! *** @ Potential buyers of this app; this is the only COMPLETE Sherlock Holmes collection in the app store. That alone is the reason to buy this. Pros: • Customizable • Complete • 1 page instead of many Cons: • Not pretty • Bad App home screen title. • Boring user interface. Good buy though, and hope the developer is listening. 

Some bad moments
