I have been using this app for quite some time and it’s very good to read pdf, epub and djvu files. This app doesn’t provide any book store kind like kindle or kobo. It’s just to read pdf, epub or djvu files in ur cloud or local storage. The app provides connectivity with iCloud, google or OneDrive cloud providers from which you can easily download your documents and read. There are several other features like annotate etc, simple to use UI and sufficient features that make reading on this app pleasurable. I am not sure of the difference between free and paid version, I have a paid version but sure you can try and upgrade to premium which is what I had done. If you are somebody who reads a lot on iPad using pdf, epub or djvu documents, then go for it without any doubt. Thanks.
Sync Feature Stopped Working
Prasi
Dont buy the annual subscription which promises the syncing across ios devices. It has completely stopped working.No matter how many times I sent emails to the support team. There is no respense and the feature doesnt work.Even Apple can not help you once you pay the money - I tried and asked for a refund for a feature which is not working. I was denied a refund.So, I thought of sharing my problem for the benefit of wider group of users.Update: There are certificate issues which are often encountered while syncing. When I initially wrote this review in February 2020, I came across this issue for first time. Later on this issue was resolved. Again in July 2020 this syncing certificate error issue repeated. Asusually, the developer doesnt respond to issues - no email support.I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT TO BUY THE PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION.
Definitely - The best reading app

This app deserves much much more than 5 stars. It can open most of the e-book formats. It is also very intuitive to use. Has most of the features one would ever think of. Indexing , Searching, tagging, OCR, categorising, highlighting, adding notes, changing themes, display options, online storage options and many more. I have been using this app for a couple of months and would like to thank the developer for this wonderful ebook reader
Subscription to premium service not working
dcs978
While the app is very useful, the premium subscription feature is not working. Which means that app is not maintained and upgraded by owner and is likely to create compatibility problems in future. User interface of opening bookmark menu is not so convenient as bookari but the app is great otherwise. I hope owner shows some interest and upgrades and allows premium service access.
- Fixed the issue with clipped text in PDF Reflow.
- Added the ability to change text size in PDF Reflow mode.
- PDF page is rendered in the current theme when the PDF Reflow mode is on.
- The application now remembers the Reflow mode for the recent open PDF book.
- Various minor improvements and bugfixes.
