5 ★ Love the app and thanks to all the people who develop and mantain this app. This is the only app that I have seen which has table of contents ( in the TOC section in the top right corner menu ) No ads , FOSS ♥️ And to add to that it's also fast and minimal. Ps: to the devs if possible rename the TOC to something like Contents it will probably easier to understand for the new user. And thank you once more.
5 ★ Firstly, I was looking for something free (as in freedom) and open-source which this app fulfills - great. I have only used it to read epubs so far, but that works great. The tapping commands work flawlessly (e.g. left / right side of the screen to browse through pages, tapping at the bottom to toggle full screen), the app remembers positions in books for easy continuation, and it has a dark theme. Leaves nothing to be desired for me.
5 ★ Woooow finally a solution that has cracked the long outstanding technology of converting PDF files to continuous text. Even Calibre is not able to do a neat job as this app does, although it is not doing it fast (you have to wait a bit before each page loads), but 5 stars for achieving this feature. Generally otherwise, the app can improve a bit of the hardware acceleration for the epub and mobi formats
5 ★ It's like lithium for PDFs, even the multifucntional ebook readers don't have textflow for PDFs. it's slow, sometimes craches and starts from the begining of the book, brightness is full and no way to turn it down. but that will be fixed by the dev i hope. Thanks for this free unique great app.
4 ★ Nice and simple, actually renders long images in cbz files well! This is the only app that I can find that does this. I like that volume to go to next page still works in continuous scroll. Only downside is a bit slow when loading big files and the next page if you scroll too fast.
4 ★ A very effective book reader and the developer is actively updating the app. Will be great if the page number can be shown so that the reader know's the progress of his/her reading. Alternatively a small progress wheel can be shown at the top of the page, just like in Okular's presentation mode.
4 ★ The PDF mod is fantastic. The reader itself is beautiful and simple. But can you add options to hide the progress bar and to make the background color white? This way it would be perfect.
5 ★ This is great for reading PDFs. The button to the right of search stacks split collums, which is a life saver. The dark mode makes the text white on black, which looks great!
4 ★ Wow, someone overthrown Moon+ Reader in usability of continuous scroll mode! Very, very good. But the settings are poor. I even cannot change that yellowish background and unstick the top. Looking for updates.
5 ★ I love the app. Would it be difficult to add bookmarking capability? That would make it perfect for my purposes. Thanks! Yay, bookmarks functionality added, perfect!
4 ★ I really like your app and everything is working great. Only one thing is that, book icons in both list and grid view should be bigger. They are too small in my opinion.
3 ★ Not bad; it opens my ePub Manga, but doesn't scale the images correctly to the page, and doesn't permit zooming. It also doesn't respect to right-to-left setting of the ePub.
5 ★ I've only been using this for about 5 minutes, but i can tell it's going to be fantastic. it's super simple, no large cluttered, unintuitive menus.
2 ★ It would be 5/5 if there was an option for static zoom on pdf files, cause right now it is very annoying to manually so every page.
1 ★ AVOID! Error after error after error. Plenty of others to use do not use this. Plus dev has no contact info. Do not use!
