Good, but has some weird glitches
02/13/2023

First off, this is the best app on the market if you don't want to kowtow to Kindle's market dominance. It lets you sync your books between all devices. Cool!But it's still a work in progress. My book progress syncs, but the sections (recently downloaded, recently opened) do not. I have to go to the normal intro page, download the book, then open it and I see my current reading progress. Just doesn't make sense why you can't sync the recently opened section and set the mobile app to automatically download it.The app is pretty barebones. That's a good thing overall. But it is lacking a handful of useful features to get 5 stars from me.Sadly, there isn't much competition for crossplatform reading like this, so FB Reader is the best solution at the current moment.

It's free and it works. There is a swipe animation lag for a second, which can get irritating sometimes. But then again, it's an app that is offered at no cost. Can't really complain.

Fast reader but Library has issues!

The eBook reader itself is fast and simple.But there is no option to remove an eBook from the library without also deleting from the file system. This is contrary to most eBook readers and a big deal breaker! I really don't want to accidentally delete any of my books. Uninstalled sadly!

App deletes your imported books

It looks promising, but this is an alpha version for macOS at best. Try selecting a font, they are all jumbled together. The worst part, however, is that it deletes the books you just imported. Close the app and next time you open it, all your books are gone.I understand there’s also a cloud storing option, but it works through Google and experience has shown that Google is not trustworthy when it comes to handling user data and privacy.If I’m importing books locally, I would expect the app to keep them stored locally.

The update fixes a crash when the app runs on MacOS 15.3 or earlier
