The way I look at it is if a parent needs this app to protect his/her child, then that parent is nt doing a good job in terms of what the child is reading.
And there are lots of books where this app would change the meaning f something so it's silly or just lain wrong and the child would get an incorrect meaning from the book given the mistakes this app can make.
If you are going to allow your kid(s) to read a book with inappropriate words, read the book first and discuss it with your kid(s). Or read it to your kid(s) and do the modifying of the words yourself so the meaning is kept and the words not changed too much to be incorrect or inappropriate.
However, trust works very well. If I ever read a book that an app like that has changed and I found out about it, I would be very upset because to me it would feel like my parents do not trust me. And that's more damaging than the original words in the book.
