Comments on Readest: EPUB & PDF Reader for Android

★★★★★ Sanket Saha · Sep 18, 2026

Best ebook reader app no ads and the basic functionalities are present with modern ui

★★★★★ Sadanand Padala · Sep 20, 2026

Best best best it's sync across android ios and Windows pc thanks guys for creating this and keeping free version it's a good move to buy the lifetime account I am sure going forward with that it's my first day using readest

★★★★★ Jacqueline Rosario · Oct 2, 2026

I love this app so much. I read all my books on it without it taking up my space like other apps do. This is the best book app on the play store. One thing I would suggest is they fix the TTS reading because it talks too fast and sometimes skips whole paragraphs.

★★☆☆☆ Rizeeen · Sep 5, 2026

Please fix the zoom in/zoom out it feels very stiff, try to imitate like Eboox for example

★☆☆☆☆ dickia pyc · Oct 18, 2026

Was my fav reading app until the read aloud/text to speech feature doesn't work for me. It's been a couple of days, and I've tried clearing the cache, but it's still not working. I can't put myself to clear the data or uninstall-reinstall the app because the last time I did it I lost all the books in my library, the backup and restore feature didn't work. Update: I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app and the read aloud feature still doesn't work.

★☆☆☆☆ Nuhan · Oct 21, 2026

DO NOT TURN ON AUTO SYNC WITH KOREADER I lost my a week worth of annotations, bookmarks, and highlights because of it 😭 please fix this problem, I read & annotating on my koreader with my Wi-Fi off and once I turned on my Wi-Fi and it automatically syncing with my phone which don't have my annotations, and it also wiped out my annotations 😭😭😭😭

★★☆☆☆ joshua hollweck · Sep 6, 2026

This e-reader is perfect. So why am I giving this 2 stars because using it over a long time and across multiple updates can be an awful experience. Disable auto update across all devices, and it solves all problem and this reader is a 5/5
