### 2/5 — Falls just short

*2014-02-25*

It's just a reader, no frills, but the pages are zoomed out, there is no tap zoom, the help file is in Chinese, There is no fast scroll through the document.  It has an index, and page renders are pretty snappy, and it has large thumbnail scrolling, so it's trying to be good but it's falling short in a lot of ways.

### 1/5 — Unacceptable

*2013-11-17*

Non-standard. Not completely thought-through.

### 1/5 — Do not bother

*2012-09-30*

This is not an extension of booki.sh. This app offers no instruction or real help. The 'help' button does not work. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2012-09-06*

Will not load books from Safari even though it said it would.  Many load errors including the help file.  Still needs work but this app has real promise to be great once errors are fixed.

### 1/5 — Misleading Description

*2012-06-10*

No English language seems to be accessible.
Developer's 'Help' site completely Japanese.
This despite claim that both Japanese and English are supported.

If English is indeed available, it is very difficult if not impossible to find.

Don't waste your time.

### 1/5 — Wouldn't Stop Crashing

*2012-05-17*

I opened a PDF into this app from my Dropbox and the app wouldn't stop crashing. I had to uninstall it. It wasn't worth the headache.
