Great app and some feedback
Thanks for making an easy to use and reliable app. I can recommend it to anyone looking for a no-nonsense reader.
I hope the developer will also consider adding:
1. An option to automatically split wide images (e.g. a 2 page spread) into 2 separate pages. Right now, the only way to view is as a single wide image.
2. An option to transition instantly to the next page (no swipe or page turn animation).
Amazing App
This is a marvelous app and I want to commend this to the developers. The feature using dropbox to download books has been fantastic. However, I have a major concern. How to keep my books on the app if my ipad should fail. It would be great if you could provide access to an icloud app that could store all my collections even if it cost some money. I would be glad to subscribe to it. Could you do that please, because I don’t want to lose all my data.
Best App
Best App but it’s lacks backup options coz it wants to access Dropbox for files but it’s bookshelf can’t backup to Dropbox!
To backup it’s need access to iCloud.
Please add option to backup to Dropbox and other clouds, it’s best app for books and comics thanks for developing it.
Still excellent!
Updated review 13th of April 2018.
Thank you for a great app!
Fastest PDF reader
Fastest and best.
Keeps crashing.
I touch to open the app and it crashes before it's fully open.
Great App
Love how it allows you to select the scrolling style. Including smooth up-down scrolling and displays the time while reading.
Great reader
A great reader, it's true that sometimes it crashes especially on big files (I use an ipad2) or when you have too many of them (like hundreds) but it's rare and I find the app really well done. It's an excellent app well worth my dollars if it wasn't free. I use it all the time, especially for my studies (I mainly use the bookmarks but there is an option to write notes on the page, it can be useful) and it's good to read comic too as it can crops the white borders and do infinite scrolling. It also open automatically any archives. I'm writing this review because I saw the app has 3.5 stars in average only and I feel very sad for the author. Thank you Tatsumi!
Keeps crashing!
Used to work great but now it keeps crashing when I try to download my cbr files into my book shelf.
Cannot use it at all :(
Please fix! Am on iPhone 4s. It works fine on my iPad Air ...
This is the best book reader
I have tried many, but this is the best.
Recommand you.
