Best App‼️

Thank you to the Developers for creating an awesome app which is better than the iPhone book. Great job ‼️

Simple but Perfect

This app is exactly what I needed to quickly and easily organise documents to view them easily as I require the ability to access multiple PDFs quickly. The app is incredibly easy to use, and the categorisation makes this such a useful app. The ability to directly import from Safari means building a library of PDFs is super quick. I’ll be recommending this to anyone who needs something similar. I love the customisation as well. Amazing job Molly!!

If you have books/Pdf’s - you need this

I have spent hours searching the App Store , looking for a visual file/folder type of organizer for my way-too-many book collection. Just a general, all around storage-preferably that works with PDF format. Quite by accident, while looking for something else, I found this hidden jewel. I love it.
If you love books, have a lot of them, and prefer them in PDF format-and want a solid, simple, no glitches way to organize and store your books ( I have just over 200 in this app) then download this app! It does not have 40 functions, and there is a little how-to handbook; but you don’t need it. What it does do, is create folders to organize and store books or documents. A small list on the left “ nests” title separators and their folders, and on the right displays large folders, and nested inside are large books with the actual book cover as the icon. Or the first page of a document. You can change the cover, if you wish. There are no hidden prices for anything, it’s an actual free app! Never glitched on me, and has never crashed. This app should be an essential, if you have lots of pdf with no home

Good, but has room for improvement

This app is mostly good, but there's one irritating bug where the zoom level resets whenever the page is turned. This won't bother you much if you're reading fiction, but if you're using it for anything you have to reference (I use it for Tabletop RPGs), the default zoom level gets the top and bottom of the document blocked off by the overlay, at least on an iPad Mini. I'll bump this up a star instantly once this bug is fixed.

Also, this app doesn't support vertical pages like Apple Books does for PDFs, and doesn't support multiple books open at once. I don't care much about the former, but the latter would be very useful for me and I'll bump my review up to five stars if multiple tabs are ever added. (Assuming the zoom bug is fixed too, of course.)

Egad! Only lacking one thing I really wanted!

Hey developers! Add highlighting (and perhaps store a copy of the highlighted materials in a separate file) and I would gladly pay for this app! In every other way it is wonderfully simple and elegant! Thank you!
