The app is all good and fine to read any type of documents. Grateful for providing us this app. I like its pdf reflow option that is really admirable. But the problem is, it is not working accurately at the bottom of the page. If you zoom into the page, sometimes, the words get started missing which are at the bottom of the page. It may be missed upto one or two lines. If you further zoom in or zoom out it gets fine and alright. Kindly solve the problem. Thanking in anticipation.

Great. You can change fonts, the colour of the background (which I use often when I'm reading epub books back to back, so I can have a visual feeling that I'm actually reading different books), and also the font size. What is also amazing and I recently found out is that this app can also optimize pdf files for easier reading as well. Great job overall.

I've used this app for years and it hadn't failed me... until six months ago, when the text to speech function began to randomly mute itself for 15-30 seconds every 5 minutes, and chapter pages aren't recognized (E.g. Chapter 5....? Chapter 6....?) so I can't jump to a previous chapter. But it's intuitively customizable, doesn't have ads, and the text to speech is wonderful for long commutes. I'm looking into other options but I've used this app for so long, I don't know where else to go!

Everything looks amazing. It's by far the prettiest ereader I've ever used. But there are a couple of hindering issues with this app. If I am reading and my device goes to sleep, it can't show me any of my books after I open it. I have to open and close the app repeatedly to get my books back. Even re scanning doesn't work. Disabling auto rotate doesnt work and if I accidentally turn to the side, it loses my place completely.

I can easily arrange books into folders and read almost all the time with pocketBook. I often use the audio to enable me read on the go, especially while walking on busy roads. But with this updated version, the highlight that is seen with each sentence while using the audio disappeared making reading with the audio difficult. A swift response to this would be appreciated. Meanwhile, I love the app and I've recommended it to most people who say they are too busy to read and they love it too.

Really nice e-reader. Intuitive, feature-rich and extremely customisable to your reading preferences. I have some petty complaints about menu darkness levels in comparison to text when using the menu for say, translating. But that's hardly worth dropping a star over. After having gone through a few e-readers that could do everything I wanted I'm pleased to have found this one 9.6/10 would recommend

I absolutely love your application, and I've given it 5 stars but some update you made around October/November has created an issue with the PDF reflow option, it cuts out the final few words of every nth page. It seems like a minor inconvenience but forces some of us turn that setting off and read in tiny letters to avoid eyesores. Please check it out!

I like this app because it's free and doesn't contain ads. There're two minor issues, I wish to improve in the app. I read on several devices, but when I switch them it doesn't show my progress on previous device, so I need to search for needed page manually. Also, when deleting a book, would be great to have a third option "delete from both device and cloud".

This is a really great app! It supports lots of book formats and transitions smoothly into the text to speech mode. I love being able to switch quickly and easily between text and audio. The voices are very good with lots of expression. The app is definitly a 5/5 most of the time. But it has a bad habit of compleatly crashing after about every 3rd update. And when it crashes, not even reinstalling it helps.
