It won’t delete a read book and the browser download no longer works. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-01-29, version 5.1.61* Doesn't allow to browse for a file on local iPhone storage. Doesn't have dark mode. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2025-01-05* The loading of djvu docs keeps failing. Deleted and switched to another djvu reader. ### 1/5 — Page not loaded *2024-11-01, version 5.1.61* This is a real cringe. After 2 min reading it stops loading every page. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-10-12, version 5.1.61* Trying to open a djvu file on iphone. No idea how to import files into this thing’s trashy ui ### 1/5 — No support for iPhone *2024-09-25* Bought Pro. Couldn’t get files into the reader except by “share” , and then the pages fail to load. No manual or help. Someone said I could be getting ransomware using it. I deleted it. I then read the reviews. Yup. Delete it immediately. Spooks. ### 1/5 — Page Loading Failed is not the right idea. *2024-09-20* Come on. This app works for a few minutes, then starts with Page Loading Failed and that is it. This app is a fail, plain and simple. But thanks for all the nag ads to update to the paid version. Production values are just so low here. Is the iPad just for dumb games? ### 1/5 — App not opening all the pages of the file. *2024-06-20* App is not able to load the whole document file of around 300-500 pages of book in one go after few seconds it showing not able to load the document ### 1/5 — Барахло. Дно. *2024-04-07* Постоянно реклама (сбор деняг на нужды всу), постоянно ошибка открытия страницы. ### 1/5 — Page loading failed *2024-03-29* Could be nice, if this worked rather than allowing only 35 pages to be viewed of my djvu ebook before crashing to the “page loading failed” message. Keep trying! ### 1/5 — Приложение тупо не работает и не открывает файлы *2024-03-13* Трата нервов ### 2/5 — Deleted this before I even used it *2023-07-15* I am not paying for a subscription on something which should be free. ### 1/5 — Avoid *2023-04-14* It cannot read local files. Totally useless. Is this a russian troyan-horse? ### 1/5 — Худшее из худших *2023-02-10, version 5.1.61* Это худшее говнище, а не приложение ### 1/5 — Not able to read big books *2023-01-02* Confusing UI. Could share djvu files from file and open. After few pages, failed to load further pages, gives a feel that it has not been tested properly. How to share UI issues with the developer? ### 1/5 — Невозможно загрузить файл *2022-11-23* Любыми способами пытался открыть на это приложении файл, но Яндекс диск не подключается(пишет сбой), в Гугл диске Гугл блокирует(пишет, что приложение пытается получить доступ к конфиденциальной информации). ### 1/5 — Не возможно прогрузить страницу *2022-11-08* Не хочет загружать страницы, где-то после шестой, приходится через оглавление читать, неудобно. ### 1/5 — отвратительно *2022-11-01* ужасное приложение. если вы хотите, чтоб у вас покупали платную версию, нужно сначала бесплатную сделать нормальной. постоянно выбрасывает и выдает ошибку страницы, ни прогресс в книге, ни саму книгу не сохраняет. позор ### 1/5 — Page Loading Failed is not the right idea. *2022-10-21, version 5.1.61* Come on. This app works for a few minutes, then starts with Page Loading Failed and that is it. This app is a fail, plain and simple. But thanks for all the nag ads to update to the paid version. Production values are just so low here. Is the iPad just for dumb games? ### 1/5 — DjVu *2022-10-01* Файловый менеджер в приложении не видит ни одного файла на моем iPad. Бесполезное приложение. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Глучная читалка! *2026-07-08* Постоянно выдает ошибки, приходится открывать книгу заново. Не рекомендую! ### 1/5 — Ничего непонятно *2026-07-08* Файл мой не увидел, а один в таком формате. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-06-06, version 5.1.61* 👎 ### 1/5 — Не устанавливаете! *2026-05-08* Сходу сразу требует установки платной про версии. Я конечно, покупать ничего не буду. ### 1/5 — Вылетает после 3 страниц *2026-04-14* Ужасное приложение ### 1/5 — Historical App No longer works *2025-12-19* Never try on iPad, it’s a legacy app. ### 1/5 — Ошибка загрузки страницы *2025-12-11* Ошибка загрузки страницы ### 1/5 — Not functional *2025-11-22* Abusive ads ruining reading experience. It's not like an ad that takes a portion of the screen. Such ads are ok. BUT NOT ones that take the whole of screen and interrupt your reading. Update: crashes when you open the app. ### 1/5 — Not functionng properly *2025-11-09* The app does not respond to its menu functions. Possibly it has not been updated for long time. ### 1/5 — DJVU Reader *2025-02-17* Ohne Funktion ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My favourite *2020-09-15* It’s amazing...!!!!
