Your latest version goes back to 2018: it this app “dead »? Please correct ASAP! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t allow bulk adding of PDF files *2021-11-14* Absolute waste of time and money. ### 2/5 — Different from the Android version, can copy or highlight text in EPUB3 *2020-02-24, version 4.7* I’ve been a registered Premium user since this app was known a Mantano on my Android. I switched to an iOS device at Christmas, so I registered Premium version again for iOS. It looks and works mostly like the Android version, but text copying and highlighting is broken for EPUB3 books, or for EPUB2 books if you’re using the EPUB3 reader. I’ve emailed customer support about the issue but, after several weeks of waiting, I’ve received to response whatsoever. Two stars is the best I can give until this bug and customer support response time is fixed. ### 1/5 — Hopelessly out of date *2019-11-30, version 4.7* The subscription is expensive and yet the product hasn't been updated for a year and still doesn't even support split screen. ### 2/5 — Problem since IOS 13 *2019-11-07, version 4.7* Great app for all of my digital books, but since iPadOS 13, I cannot select word in certain books otherwise the app freeze and I must close it and restart the app. I’m reading on a iPad Pro 9.7 with iPadOS 13.2 I had the problem with some PDF files. Thank you ### 1/5 — Ah *2019-10-01* Server is down 502 error! ### 1/5 — Needs better iPad support *2019-04-27* It is getting more and more difficult to use this app. It doesn’t utilize the newer 10.5 or 11 inch screens. Needs an update badly. ### 1/5 — It used to be good. *2019-04-13* When I first got this app, is was by far the best ebook Reader on the market. That has changed, with it now freezing, crashing, not being able to advance the page without having to force close the app. To bad but I will have to find a new Reader. ### 1/5 — Terrible don’t waste your $ *2018-12-01, version 4.7* No way to stop spinning page turns Android version is aaa. iPad version has no difference between paid and free. And no way to get your money back If I could give it -stars I would ### 4/5 — Can’t return to home page of library *2018-12-01, version 4.7* When I’m finished reading and want to read another book, I can’t go to home library , I have to close the whole app down then reopen it to get to the library. Is there a return to library button? So I can check out other books. I have this app on my Samsun tab, it works great easy to return to library. Disappointed I can’t do that with my iPad, seems I may have wasted my money on this app. ## Frequently asked questions about Bookari Ebook Reader Premium ### What does Bookari Ebook Reader Premium do?
