Installed & then deleted within 5 minutes.
I shouldn't have to pay you 8$ to sync to my google drive so that I can put PDFs in here without using someone else's computer, since I don't have my own laptop.
Someone might as well just use the Files app on iOS instead. It's free & works better even if it doesn't bookmark your page.
Why make a iOS app that then relies on the user having a *separate computer* to put files into Bookari on their iPad/phone... Instead of just using the native files from the iPad itself? And then of course, the option that requires a computer is the only *free* option...
Honestly, since this is for iOS only, the fees might have been better off the other way around - computer sync for charge, & then using a google drive for free, since not everyone has a computer with iTunes *and* a tablet at the same time.
Very disappointed, I just wanted to read my book & be able to save my place. New record for how fast I've deleted an app :/

Please provide an M1 mac version of this software..
No go for Adobe DRM
Spinning forever trying to open an Adobe DRM (University of Chicago) book. Not encouraging that the app hasn’t been updated in two years. Abandonware?
A note on ads: I don’t mind that they’re there. It gives me a chance to see if I can use the app (I can’t) before I pay for it, which I’d be entirely willing to do ... if it worked.

Unable to read Adobe DRM
I got this app for the sole purpose of reading an Adobe DRM ebook. The app has spent the last hour trying to open it with no success, just an endlessly spinning wait wheel.
Charge to CC
Avoid downloading at all costs.
I attempted to open a free account and it asks for a CC number.
I put in a CC number (big mistake) and was immediately hit with a $39.95 charge.

buggy
I would not even be using this thing were it not for the fact that I made the mistake of purchasing a DRM-protected epub. Having used it regularly for a week though the only things that stick out are the navigation, which freezes frequently (requiring an app restart), and the fact that one continuous highlight cannot span multiple pages for some reason. The nerve required in asking me to pay $7 to take this garbage to the 'premium' level is truly something.

Premium edition
I bought the premium addition because I’m super busy and thought I could listen with to books with earbuds instead of trying to find time to read them but turns out I can’t understand half of what the voice is saying. Very disappointing. Needs an update to fix the speech dictionary badly.
Not ready for prime time
Downloaded one of the free University of Chicago ebooks. The reader keeps freezing up. Got a quick glimpse of the ads popping up.
Highlighting glitches
Highlighting disappears
Glitches and ads
The free version forces you to watch increasingly intrusive advertisements before you can read your book, including some without a close button so that you have to watch all the way through and then are brought to the advertiser’s download site. It also has glitches: e.g gets stuck on a single page.
