### 5/5 — Хороший старт

*2026-02-18*

Честно не понял зачем тут ИИшка платная, закинул прост поддержать автора. Но так-то удобнее в google notebook ml кидать неограниченно файлы и получать саммари

### 5/5 — Быстрота

*2026-01-12*

Очень удобная читалка: заметки делать одно удовольствие. Есть краткое содержание книги. 
Можно загрузить свои книги. Приложение работают быстро, ничего не тупит, все открывается корректно.

### 5/5 — Отлично!

*2026-01-11*

Глоток свежего воздуха в мире читалок. Удобный интерфейс, приятный дизайн, все нужные настройки на месте. Рекламы нет.

### 5/5 — Кайф!

*2026-01-07*

Молодцы ребята, очень хорошее приложение сделали!

### 1/5 — красиво, но не понял зачем

*2025-08-11*

читалка начинает дико фризить с первой страницы (на последнем айфоне!) – в приложении для чтения забыли про чтение лол. предлагать купить иконки у сырого приложения – рофл, удачи разрабам с такими розовыми очками

местами красивенько, но непонятно зачем вообще оно нужно, когда та же стандартная эппловская читалка обеспечивает более приятный и ровный опыт

**Developer response:** Привет! Мы тестили читалку очень много, она должна работать быстро. На всех доступных нам книгах работает идеально быстро. Сможете сказать, на какой книге у вас тормозит? Мы найдем причину проблемы и исправим. Если сможете найти меня в ТГ и прислать файл, буду очень благодарен

### 5/5 — Слегка сыровато

*2025-08-08*

Хорошая приложуха, зацепил минималистичный ui без лишней мишуры. 
Сыроват раздел заметок, во первых нельзя выделенное в тексте помечать разными цветами, во вторых заметки делать попросту неудобно в отличии от других приложух. Надеюсь доработают, пятерик авансом)

**Developer response:** Привет! Спасибо за отзыв и за аванс! А что именно неудобно в создании заметок? Буду признателен за подробности и постараюсь улучшить. Можете найти меня в ТГ и в личку рассказать (я не уверен, что тут можно ответить)

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.10 — 2026-08-04

Fixed text selection in the reader: selections now start cleanly from the first character of a paragraph, dragging a selection handle no longer flips the page, and swipe gestures stay quiet while you are selecting text.

### 1.5.9 — 2026-07-07

Bug fixes and performance improvements.

### 1.5.8 — 2026-07-02

[NEW] Finish a book and get a proper "The End!" moment - the book is marked Finished automatically.
[FIXED] Reading progress could get stuck at 99% at the end of a book.
[FIXED] Rare blank screen when reopening a finished book.

### 1.5.7 — 2026-07-02

[FIXED] Some FB2 books showed a long block of code at the very end of the book. That was an embedded cover image being displayed as text — it's now kept out of your reading, and covers still appear as before. Already-imported FB2 books clean themselves up automatically the next time you open them.

### 1.5.6 — 2026-06-28

[IMPROVED] Large shelves open instantly and scroll smoothly — even with thousands of books.
[IMPROVED] Searching inside a shelf is faster, with no stutter as you type.
