Problème, ils demandent de me connecter avec adobe?

C’est nouveau, je ne veux pas d’Adode

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.

Search is broken since update

App usability has deteriorated over time (and it was never particularly great). This apps biggest pros are its adobe drm compatibility and not being owned by amazon. That’s pretty much it.

Up until the most recent update, everything worked, even if it was a pretty clunky user experience, somewhat unstable and prone to freaking out and loosing your entire library (has happened to me multiple times over the years).

However, the search function was broken by the most recent update. Which is EXTREMELY annoying.

Given that this app is rarely updated and seems mostly abandoned by its developers, it’s pretty unlikely it will be fixed anytime soon.

It’s a pretty rubbish app, but the only one with adobe crm, and one of only a few decent readers not owned by Amazon or Apple.🤷🏻‍♀️

Latest update has broken something

With the latest update the app no longer allows you to see the time at the top of the screen which is annoying. It also doesn’t expand fully on my iPad 13” not display pages counts correctly

Hopefully this is fixed quickly as the is my go to app for reading and it’s always been the best one out there .

Will your company be offering a replacement for Blue Fire Reader?

Will your company be offering a replacement for Blue Fire Reader? It’s simply the best most user friendly ereader I’ve ever used! I really don’t want to go back to the Books app if I can help it.
