Great reader app. Really responsive developer and continuous improvements. I have been testing this app on TestFlight and have seen the developer improve the app over time. Great privacy first app with multiple content options.

Simply does what it claims to do and does so consistently. Rare to find an app that is no nonsense and just great at doing one thing exceptionally! Happy lifetime sub here!
Developer Response
Thanks for the kind words! That’s our goal! Appreciate you!
The app UI now supports many more languages. The EPUB reader loads books much faster and more efficiently. You can also now backup your actual book files to iCloud and Google Drive directly from within the app. We have added an integration with the open-source reading tracker Seekquel, to automatically sync reading progress, wishlist, book ratings, and more between Cinder and Seekquel. A new page-turner animation has been included in this update, with a realistic paper-curling effect. We also added auto-paging and auto-scrolling so you can read without having to turn the pages manually! You can also easily change the sorting and number of results returned when searching for books, along with many bug fixes!
