Very useful, no fuss, no ads, does everything I want it to do, which is mostly reading epub files. Enjoying the app immensely, and it doesn't extract unnecessary data from me as a user. It took a second to figure out how to exit a book and go into the app menu (tap the center of the page once). It would also be nice if I could choose what service to define words with (the default is Google search) but it's not often I need to look things up anyway.

Pretty happy with this app! Thanks so much for making one that's free with 3D page turning. I have a foldable, and I wish it had a two column reading mode and this is really my phone's fault, but the Note button is right under my in-screen camera on my foldable phone (Honor Magic V5) and that's annoying, but hiding the notch for the app looks worse. Having a bigger area to bring the menus up would be really nice too, it triggers page turning too easily.

Pretty good app, but It needs an option to disable tap to change pages, you can't remove books from your reading history, and It also doesn't show how many pages, nor your current chapter In the reader.

Good app. Straightforward. But it lacks continuous vertical scroll in my opinion and if that added it would be a chef kiss.

There's literally not a tts button anywhere? There are settings for it, but no actual way to turn it on, only page navigation and a back button. Not even text selection.
