Amazingly exceptional app to read books on iOS. I was in search of an app which can read out my books loud on iOS and found this on Google. It’s been the best app so far for reading out loud my books while I travel to work everyday. Loved it guys keep it up.

Request
@(:-)@
It is the best app I have ever used to read pdfs. I have a request. Could you include a feature to get meaning of a word in pop-up upon a single long press? It would be great if there is an option to also check meaning of words within the pop-up by single press. And an option to check in the internet could also be provided. For viewing the meanings, it would be great if there is a dictionary within the app or an option to link a dictionary app such as WordWeb.

Developer Response
Hello, thank you for leaving a review for our ClaroPDF app.These are good suggestions. Being able to hide the notification bar could be useful, we'll consider that. Being able to change the text colour is very difficult in PDF files, but it is something we are keeping an eye on!Claro Software
