Leave a Review PocketBook Reader
3 stars but
I’m giving 3 stars only because I’ve only explored my main reason for using and nothing else yet. BUT 4 stars (i don’t give out 5 stars) for what i wanted which was an ereader with autoscroll. Why is this feature so impossible for other ereaders? I read fast and sick of constantly having to tap screen to page turn. This autoscroll works great for me. Now if Apple will allow the use of the volume button (which boggles my mind they don’t) then ill be very happy. Other than that i like the ease of getting MY ebooks by simple transfer from pc to phone/tab and to app folder. Unlike 2 main ereader apps that need no naming. I have hundreds of books and now i can read them without pulling my hair out because i didn’t buy at those 2 stores. So 4 stars for what i need and ave. 3 stars for everything else.Show lesswetfrog
Suggestions and Thoughts
I am uncertain where the developers of this app will see this review but I have a few suggestions, I will also be providing reasons for these suggestions.
1. Let us be able to manually edit the covers of imported books Reasoning: The covers become completely white and users are unable to revert them to what they originally regardless of you deleting and redownloading the imported as the app saves the data on the books which means that the blank covers stay the same.
2. Let us manually sort books via our discretion instead of having preset sorting options Reason: This will make much more easier for users to search for books they are looking for in an orderly fashion of their choosing.
3. Let us be able to edit book metadata like the authors name and the title of the book or add specific synopsis’ for the books. Reason: This is also another great sorting function that will make it easier for the users to find what they are looking for.
Hopefully these suggestions are possible, thank you for reading this review.Show lessAbednego123
Glitchy
I like the app in general. It has some nice options. But it has a few issues. When I load up a book it jumps to random chapters. I have to scroll up or down all the way back to my place. Most of the time I cannot get the options to pop up either. Like the chapter scroller. Have to exit the app to change books . Fix these and you’ve got yourself an excellent reading app.Show lessRememberThePez
Great but highly annoying
I love the fact that I can upload through cloud any of my books and reading is mostly fine
But every other chapter in my book the app decides I don’t want to read the chapter and turning the page skips to the start of the next chapter. The only way to get around it that I’ve found is randomly changing font sizes till it lets me turn to the next page instead of the next chapter. All I want to do is delete this function because it’s literally driving me mad. 5 stars if fixed.Show lessseurd
Good vision for read
This is a good read app, the background and the font is comfortable with reading, but a question is the note could not be edited, sometimes I wrote the note was not complete but I can’t copy it or edit. It is not enough convenience. If it can be changed I would love it more.Reyamy
Awesome app!
After a small snag I was able to quickly figure out how to upload an ePub novel I am about to publish to see how it looks to readers without a kindle. The app is streamlined, allows you to change fonts, color, and also has an audio reader built in in a bunch of languages and accent and voices (Male and Female) which is very handy! You can migrate your books over from other platforms and even buy new books as there is a store link there as well. Just Awesome!!!Show lessAriitzka

Thanks for your feedback! We really appreciate your support.Terrific reading or listening APP
Aug. 2022: I downloaded this free PocketBook reader to replace NeoSoarBook which no longer works, but was really good for reading. This is better. AND I clicked on something, and suddenly the book starts being read out loud to me! So I can read it or listen to it, ePubs or pdfs. One reviewer thought finding books within the App could be problematic, but that’s not a problem for me, because I scroll until I find the one I want, then start reading it. And later after I have closed the app, I can re-open the app in the book is there as “Last Opened.” I don’t really see any annoying ads either. This is a keeper.Show lessDobbs Ferry Guy

Most of my library books go to kindle where I can use the infinite scrolling feature. But now and then a book I want to read isn't available in kindle format.
I am a fast reader and scrolling allows my brain to take in entire sentences and paragraphs in accessibility large font. The traditional page turning doesn't because with large font sentences and paragraphs are chopped off to the next page.
The other critical feature to me is the background. I have astigmatism and need dark font on a contrast background that is easy on my eyes. The ability to select a custom color font is amazing! Haven't seen this feature in my other book readers.
Having so many fonts to select from was unexpected and added to my reading pleasure.
No other reader, including Kindle app can offer me a precise background and font color in combination with infinite scrolling and font style, let alone layout.
I had no problems logging into the adobe account or connecting my library download to the this app in iOS 14.
I am over the moon that I can use this app to read all my library books. The true test of course is if this app continues to perform over time.Show lesssandimacd

Thanks for your feedback! We really appreciate your support.Great app so far
I've only been using it for a bit but soo far I love it. Lots of features and really great for reading long pdfs, k Ive been using it more and still love it but a few suggestions to the developers.
1) add the ability to fast forward and rewind when using text to speech, I love that you guys have this capability, but if I miss something there is no way to go back or if I want to pause part way through a page.
2) The page flip animation is awesome, but if I zoom in to read something and zoom out the animation stops working until I turn it on and back off again.
Hope this helps make the app more awesomeShow lessBadosTye
