## Bluefire Reader Reviews in South Africa

### *---- "Unresponsive"
This app doesn’t go further than the start up screen then it just closes complete
-- JohnRamsden55, 2022-05-25

### ***-- "Could do with some basic options"
The app is useful. However I feel for a paid app it should have some basic options like being able to mark books as “read” and putting those in a separate folder
-- fatzlock, 2021-11-27

### ***-- "Disappointed"
After the latest update, all my books, but two,  has disappeared. How do I get it back?  Very disappointed.
-- Pro afrikaans, 2021-03-25

### ***** "Recent update"
All of a sudden the viewing options have changed to a very, very small print size, even when I increase the size as far as it allows, it still makes it nearly impossible to read the books that I purchased at a premium price, please change the font size and page layout back to what it was previously. If I zoom in and try to scroll to the side, the page jumps to the next page. 
It is extremely annoying
-- OreoandChina, 2021-02-21

### *---- "SELECTION CURSOR NOT WORKING!!!!"
Can’t highlight or select text. Contacted support weeks ago and still no response. Complete waste of money! Don’t buy this app!
-- chabedi.shadrack, 2021-01-31

### *---- "Most useless App!"
Everytime I get a new Ipad all my books doesn’t transfer to the new Ipad, only some. Suddenly I can’t open the downloaded ASCM file with Bluefire Reader! No message, just nothing! It isnt like I have another 10 Apps to use in order to read my books! I have ne er encounter an App with so many bugs! Useless!
-- Judyrie, 2019-11-06

### ****- "Cool"
Only giving it four stars cause it would be so much better if I had options to change the background to any colour or picture I want, and more options as to how I scroll or flip page. otherwise great app.
-- Ktloves, 2018-09-02

### ***** "Excellent response"
With a little glitch recently, I emailed support and received a prompt reply. I was kept up to date by Micah and it was sorted out very quickly. 

It’s a very user friendly app and I would recommend it 100%.
-- Glo28*, 2017-11-30

### *---- "App crashes everytime"
When i try open a book I've purchased that has previously opened with no problem, the app crashes. I need the book for my education please sort out quickly.
-- 南非人, 2015-03-06

### ***** "Exellent"
Love the app User friendly
-- Starrine, 2014-09-08

### ***** "Great app"
The best ePub / PDF reader in one. Awesome app!
-- pixel8in, 2014-04-28

### ***** "Does the job very well"
I have no problems with this application at all. It is very easy to transfer PDF docs from iTunes using File Sharing. Just make sure that you add the PDF version of the protected Adobe file to the grid in iTunes (and of course that your devices have been authorised - need your Adobe User id. and Password) . Once in Bluefire, you also have search and bookmark functionality. It's just like transferring any other books etc from iTunes to iPad via wireless.
-- Carol, South Africa, 2012-06-23

### *---- "No no no"
It freezes my ipad every time!! I must reset my ipad every time I was using this app. The moment I leave the app the ipad freezes and must be rebooted :-(
-- Antie Poppie, 2012-05-16
