Description
A lightweight, high quality PDF/XPS/CBZ/EPUB viewer for Android devices.
The renderer in MuPDF is tailored for high quality anti-aliased graphics. It renders text with metrics and spacing accurate to within fractions of a pixel for the highest fidelity in reproducing the look of a printed page on screen.
MuPDF is also small, fast, and yet complete. It supports PDF with transparency, encryption, hyperlinks, annotations, searching and more. It also reads XPS/OpenXPS documents, and v2 EPUB files with no DRM. MuPDF is written modularly, so features can be added on by integrators if they so desire - contact Artifex for licensing opportunities.
MuPDF is under continual development, so if you find any files that don't work, please let us know by opening a bug report on http://bugs.ghostscript.com/.
Recent changes: Improved EPUB support: table of contents, links, and more fonts.

★★★★★
It's a PDF viewer, and that's what it does: no frills, no ads. Adheres to the Unix philosophy: do one thing and do it properly. Great!
★★★★★
This is a great app for PDFs. Only issue I have is there is no dark mode.
★★★★★
The app is very quick even for the PDFs consist of scanned pictures. But 61 MB in size is not what I expect to see in the Google Play info from a lightweight app.
★★★★★
It is light weight and renders pages very fast. Very useful
★★☆☆☆
Read two chapters in a technical manual, highlighting and underlining important bits along the way, to find out the next day that you can't save your work. Was a waste of my time making notes, so it's no better than any other PDF reader in spite of its description; it displays files.
★★☆☆☆
Switching to GNU open source software everywhere would be a dream & I so appreciate the tireless manpower behind it. Yet, also MuPDF makes you feel like you need to gather all energy only to manage your digital life: No Android 10 support. No text notes function. Highlighting text is fidgety. Draw size for free annotations too large & can't be resized etc. Software (and hardware) is there to make your stuff happen, not to slow you down. The whole reason why Apple is so successful. Unfortunate!!
★★☆☆☆
Can't seem to find a simple, plain bookmarking feature - hence the low rating. As I understand it, even if such feature does exist, it's hidden somewhere under a clutterful interface in a way a fairly seasoned user like myself cannnot find it; so, I'll abide by my 2-star rating until proven wrong.
