User reviews

Useful, but…

Generally a useful app, good way to keep documents in one place for easy access. However, every time I delete a file, the app closes. Very annoying.

Better than books, barely.

Could be better. iBooks used to be great, but was replaced by a real piece of garbage, hence Bluefire Reader. BUT, I am getting tired of pages repeating, and every time I close or reduce the app what I am reading regresses to a previous page. Try this: don’t close the app, just reduce it or go to another app, return to it, and you will find that Bluefire returns to a previous page. This is reproducible. BUT, it seems that the people who write these apps don’t seem to care or spend any effort to do maintenance. The over all result when spread across many apps is a device full of garbage software. Apple should be proud. Bluefire, note that I would be more than willing to pay for an app that actually worked and was maintained properly. Are you listening?

Version 5.0 - glitches

Version 5.0 - quick navigation via table of contents does not work. Also in dark mode you can no longer see the page numbers at the bottom of the screen, or the time, cell signal, wifi/network id, or battery life indicator. The info is there but the app has all text/info in a black font which then blends with the background in dark mode.
