Comments on Readest: EPUB & PDF Reader for Android

★★★★☆ Sucheta Das · Jul 1, 2026

Absolutely love Readest! The UI is beautiful and the reading experience is amazing. The only feature I'd love to see is an optional page-turn/page-curl animation. It would make the app absolutely perfect! Rest are perfectly fine ❤️

★★★★★ Joel Teles · Jul 6, 2026

Genuinely the best reading solution, especially if you want cross-platform sync. (It syncs fonts and the books themselves too!) It beats readera and moon reader for me personally, and the interface is crisp and user-friendly.

★★★★★ Arafat Rahman (Ara) · Jul 22, 2026

Reading ebooks on phone for years. I found that readest is the best reader ever. My only concern is about its electron app, and it may lag badly (like notion).

★★☆☆☆ Norbert Kocsis · Jul 16, 2026

Does not display the text body, but at least it can open the file.

★☆☆☆☆ Diego FC · Aug 29, 2026

KOreader Sync is broken, which makes this app useless. The issue seems to be that it cannot sync based on filename due to files being imported, despite the fact that I clearly indicated it to use the files in their original location. So I guess I'll have to use KOreader instead.

★★☆☆☆ Rizeeen · Sep 5, 2026

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

★★☆☆☆ Sijibomi Olusunmbola · Aug 21, 2026

App constantly freezes after performing simple actions like changing theme/brightness, or opening a book. Player behavior can be finicky as it does not start reading from the current focus as one would expect. I often find myself fighting the controls, since attempts to trigger controls appearance often triggers scrolling at the same time. A simplified setting that progressively discloses and disambiguates what reader vs global app controls would be beneficial. Thank you

★☆☆☆☆ YiYin Gu · Jul 12, 2026

Terrible transparency regarding recent policy changes. In the latest update, WebDAV and Google Drive sync were suddenly paywalled—even for self-hosted users where the dev incurs zero server costs. It’s fine to monetize, but be honest about it. Don't pretend features are free when they aren't; even 4 days after gating these features, the official documentation still falsely claims WebDAV is free.
