Great reader, with a little bit of old iOS baggage

If you don't need to select or interact with PDFs this is hands down the best reader as it really understands the options you need and how to keep the book reading experience focused and responsive, something you expect and take for granted but isn't really the case on any iOS app, not even Apple Books, and for the price I cannot recommend it enough.

While great for ebook formats, the reason I can't give it the full 5 stars is it's PDF support and the way it organizes books. PDF reading is also very responsive but you can't highlight or even select text and I really need one of those features when studying. I have and rely on PDF formatted books a lot more than standard e-book formats so the inability to select text means that even though I want to use Yomu I end up using Apple Books out of necessity.

The other is that the collection and organization design feels like a relic of old iOS without the conveniences of multi-select, drag and drop and Files integrations that newer iOS versions bring. Even as an app that isn't designed to be a full book collection system there's just a lot of friction and inconsistencies in organizing a few books, moving them to folders or making edits and i want it to feel as frictionless as the book reading experience is.

Best I can find but with faults

An update:
Still loving it, I’d like to suggest an improvement though…
It would be useful if the ‘current’ chapter was indicated/highlighted when viewing ‘Contents’. In the book I’m currently reading there are multiple chapters with the same title (which is, I think, a silly mistake by the publisher).

Without doubt, the best ebook reader app (other than 'shopping' apps, eg kindle and kobo) was Marvin 3, but, to my horror, thats vanished from the app store. This app is the best alternative I can find, it could be really good but it needs some work. Like A global setting for page preferences. Having to set it up for each book is really irritating. Its a bit sluggish. To the developer(s) all I'd say is find someone who is lucky enough to have an ipad with Marvin3 still loaded and copy that. Given these drawbacks, it's still a lot better than anything else I can find. Update. To developer, thanks for response. I did ‘stumble’ upon the Make Default option a couple of days after writing the above and had come back here to update that. I’ll have a look at the website, thanks.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback. It's a bit hidden, but you can save all custom styles as your own default. On the preferences screen, tap on the 3 dots top left to save your current settings and load it for any or all books. More information is available in the Get Started Guide: https://www.yomu-reader.com/support/guide/get-started/#preferences

I really like this app

It's clean and simple without the clutter or ads that other apps have. It's user friendly, it is happy with various formats, it's practical - I can bookmark text which is really useful. What can I say? And the pro version is affordable which means a lot in these difficult times.
It is the best book app available.
