Look forward to future development
There is a definite lack of cross-platform ebook clients (specifically, Windows-to-iOS) available now. In a perfect world, there would be an iOS version of Calibre, but it’s author has expressed no interest in this. FBReader has the potential to be this solution but it isn’t there yet. As of now, the functionality of this app is limited with, for example, no way to organize books into your own categories. It choked when I tried to open a PDF, citing a compatibility issue that doesn’t exist with the native Books app. Calibre integration is promised in a future update. I love the fact that the premium version isn’t rentalware and I would gladly pay twice the asking price once the operation and feature set is more fully developed.
Too many freezes
I’ve used this app for the last year or 2 without any problems. Then the last several months it seems to get stuck and freeze up. I can’t page forward or back. Can’t do anything. Finally figured out how to open it to the main library screen and delete the book. I opened the file on my PC and it seems to be a special character or graphic on the next page that is causing the problem. This never happened before and now it’s occurring on almost every book. Must be something in the latest update. It’s just not worth it to use this app anymore. More trouble than it’s worth.
Good but has bug with footnotes
Nice reader, but has bug with big footnotes. It shows pop up with just part of footnote. “More” button is shown sometimes, but mostly is missing for the book with lot of long footnotes I’m reading currently. UPDATE: Fixed in 1.0.15, thanks a lot! Small issue with expanded footnote screen coloring is left. In the dark mode expanded footnote screen has white bottom section with “back” button. I think it should be dark as well.
Exceptionally excellent ebook reader
Unlike this wonderful app, Libby, (Microsoft) Books, and other ebook readers offer only basic customization (e.g., font, day/night mode). This brilliant, feature-rich app is freaking free! (And the premium version, which I adore, does not cost much.) It may not have a shiny look that other apps fool you into believing they’re worth your time; however, it is a well-coded app that everyone who enjoys reading ought to use.
Good app, but problem with highlighting
I really like this app. It’s free and easy to use, but in the past you could highlight sections then go back to said highlighted sections. However with the new iOS 16 update you can no longer do that. Really love the app in general though.
