I am giving a review after prolonged use of this app. Most importantly it supports several file formats and has a rather smooth interface. It's feature loaded (eg. built in narrator, an attractive and useful shelf widget, 30s rewind/forward buttons). My two suggestions to the developers: (1) the playback pause/play should be controllable from the earphone button & lock screen; (2) a 10s rewind option may also be provided. Congratulations for developing a wonderful app. Thank you!
No matter how many times I load, download or populate my books into your app, they inevitably disappear. I can't tell you how many times I've read through the bulk of a book, paused for a break and then returned to the app to continue reading, and my (heavily highlighted) book is GONE (along with all my other books). I end up having to reload everything... AGAIN and again and again, to no avail. And all my notes comments and highlighted passages are gone. VERY FRUSTRATING!
This app is really good, especially for reading books you downloaded from another source. But, I think an improvement it needs is being able to automatically detect new files and add it to the library, because scanning books can be quite annoying. Overall, this is an awesome app!
Edit: something's wrong with the widget which i love so much. It takes more space then it used to. for no reason. 5X3 when it used to be 5 x 2 Everything i ever wanted! Text to speech feature helps a lot but the PDF full page setting is off-putting. Why not make it like epub style? And count the the page for total page count?
I have been a long user of this app and had no complaints whatsoever until recently. The app keeps crashing every time I open it, I've tried restarting my phone, deleting cache from the app, etc, but nothing works. I don't want to uninstall the app because I have a lot of highlights and bookmarks saved. Please fix this:((
Upgrading from 1 to 3 stars. FINALLY the devs have the good sense to remove the idiot-minded forced TTS timing restriction. File management remains erratic, often messing up titles and actual files. Ads are bloody annoying. But I do like the overall layout and functionality, so this deserves at least an average rating. Will upgrade again if file mgmt stabilizes.
The app is great but I would like if you could add an option to remove the progress bar entirely, I don't like seeing it hovering over my books. I get that there are more important fixes in each update but if you could pls make this happen.
Great application, probably one of the best of its kind, but unfortunately after the last update it no longer works for me. It crashes at the beginning every time. Restarting the device or reinstalling doesn't help either ... Edit: work again after new update,praise for Prestigio team.
Hi team, i love your app but there's just one feature that would make it absolutely perfect: please add the ability to highlight and save texts from the book that we find are important for us to refer later. Thank you ❤️
Changed my review from 5 to 1 star. All because with the new update, this app won't let me read my books unless I allow it to access ALL my files on my phone. It even warns that it might access files without mh knowledge. I've been using this app forever now and it's time to change. It makes no sense that it need all access when what I need is to read my books. F.
Though it might be useful to some, this is ridiculous. Allow the option to turn off the sleep timer entirely (as before the update). This has been my "go to" e-reader forever, but after this update I will be looking for a replacement app. *Updated review*... Latest update gives the option to add minutes to the timer. THANK YOU DEVS! Once again this will be my e-reader app😁❤
I really like this app. Page and background customization is very beautiful and user friendly. I think it'd be great if we can use pictures from gallery as bookshelf background.
Works perfectly on the Surface Duo. Split screen or single screen both work without any issues. This is the best reader I have found to read epubs on the Duo.
A little wonky at first, but definitely the best app I have found so far that have a clean simple ui and could read books for me while I do other things.
Apps been great so far. Better eReader than the one I was originally using, and the text to speech is awesome++
Functional and easy to use. Try to improve on the cloud storage service and the reduce the ads.
it's great, and it used to automatically connect to Google translate so it makes reading in another language easier, but now it can't anymore. what happened? can it be on again? how do I do that? i can't find anything on the setting.
I like it. One of the better ones. But I can't figure out how to have the app scan and add books on an SD card... Also, can't seem to create an account.
I have been reading books for about 18 years on my mobile. Since I installed this app, I have found what I was looking for in a reading app. Thank you and keep up the great work. Need an iphone version as well 😭
I'm now disappointed that the Google translate feature is not available anymore after latest app update. It says it's not installed which it is and now translating is a hussle.
Great app but... I been using this for years but now with all the in your face ads it become a disgusting cash grab to force you to pay for ad removal.
Great app love the design of it! However the ability to add books via Google drive seems to have stopped working for me
Please add a feature to move the books library to SD card storage. Not all devices have large internal memory space. Treat as crucial.
Really nice app, I love the cover view and being able to sort books into collections. -1☆ because turning on night mode inverts all the colours, which is a problem for PDFs with colour pages. It would be nice to have the option to toggle off colour inversion for PDFs. Adding books to the library is really unintuitive; instead of allowing you to, you know, look through your files, you instead have to search your whole phone for a specific file type and the results are sorted in a random order.
A decent app. While there are many better options to just have a reader app, when it comes to actually reading an ebook aloud there are only a few alternatives and most perform poorly. Sadly this one works, yet it has nothing special. In contrast PocketBook reader is way bigger, yet more polished and with a far better interface and AI reader is only 10Mb even if it has some hard to navigate menus. And both apps don't come with ads. So at the moment I could find one reason against uninstall.
