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.

Not a single complaint
Has been using this app for 10+ years since I got my first smartphone. Truly the best for saving documents, e-receipts, and reading books😄
Problème, ils demandent de me connecter avec adobe?
C’est nouveau, je ne veux pas d’Adode

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.
Best for pdf patterns
Best ereader to use for crochet patterns. Able to mark through and erase easily. Able to enlarge the lines I’m working on. I’ve looked for others and keep coming back to Bluefire
Almost unusable with some books
There is apparently no functionality to increase the font size. Which on my iPad is tiny. The font size functionality merely affects their headings which is of no help.
Blocage et répétitions
L’application bloque souvent
En plus, le texte se répète sur deux pages assez souvent.
Je pense choisir une autre application

Nice App
Very good Application
Finally, an ebook ready that does almost everything!
This ebook reader is brilliant. It is easy to use, has a nice layout and several options to catalogue things as you want to.
It would have been a 5* review but it doesn’t have the ability to download missing book covers.
Apart from that, it is the best ebook reader/ catalogue that I have used and with a not massively inflated price, it is worth every penny.

Best Reading App
This is a long term review, Bluefire reader is the most easy to use, store and private place for all your mental ramblings. There are books I read, there are I didn’t read at all and there are that I keep referring to again and again. That’s where Bluefire comes in handy, highlights for quick review, notes etc. I wish the team all the very best.

Lousy
I want my money back
Fabulous!
The Borrowbox app only allows sign in for one UK public library at a time, but this Bluefire app allows downloads from several at a time and, unlike Adobe digital, the downloads can be done directly to an iPad from the library’s web page, without the need to use a computer. At last, all my library books from 3 different libraries in one place and the options for text size and general appearance are great. Thank you Bluefire Productions 🤗
