## What is DjVu Reader?

DjVu Reader is an application that allows you to browse through DjVu of documents of any size (in page count; some documents are so large in image size that they are not suitable to be viewed on the iPad, like charts etc).  It features an active zooming capability, pan displacements, vertical scrolling, fullscreen reading.

Supported file type include:

- djvu files (not secure djvu though, which are encrypted djvu files, indirect files only if all parts are in the same folder)
- pdf files
- txt, rtf, doc files
- epub library management, browser and reader
- chm documents (2.0.0)
- zip creation and unzipping
- image files (gif, jpg, tiff)
- others will follow. 

 It has many features:
- Airdrop support
- In document search ability in djvu files (1.4.0).
- In app customization of main features (1.4.0).
- iTunes file sharing support
- Dropbox support
- iCloud support

- and more to come...

Documents can be uploaded using iTunes, accessed from your Dropbox account, the included FTP server and using any free FTP client from your computer.

DjVu (pronounce "Déjà vu")  is a compact and versatile document format. It is generally more compact than PDF (to 10 times smaller) and is very efficient to store scanned documents. There are a some large online libraries that provide a number of books in DjVu file format. The main source of information is to be found at djvu.org

Many documents are freely available in DjVu format, for example at www.archive.org. You may download them with Safari and open them with DjVu Reader.

If an outline is present it is displayed and can be used to access the outlined parts of the document. The outline is editable so to permit to browse with ease through the document.

A slider allows to paginate rapidly and conveniently to any point of the document.

DjVu documents are generally made of pictures of actual books or documents that are processed in DjVu format. So DjVu documents are image based, where each image represent a full page. So pages are like the genuine one and shown as a full image. Browsing through a DjVu documents is then a page by page image browsing.

DjVu Reader permit a browsing of most DjVu Documents that you may find. (Tapping left or right will turn the pages: soon...) Tapping on the center will toggle full screen viewing.

PDF documents are supported. Outline in PDF documents is usable to browse rapidly through the document when available. Not all PDF documents have an outline though.

Position in opened documents is remembered the next time you open it.

You can contribute to the future of the app by suggesting improvements. I will do my best to include the one I can manage.

I use DjVu Reader regularly and have made this app to be able to read the documents I have. So I will try to make this app as versatile as possible.

The Help contains more use explanations and some future improvements that were asked or that I want to implement.

Other fil types will be added in next releases.

### 4/5 — Impressive Work

*2023-12-26, version 2.1.0*

Using iPad. Does a good useful level of utility and display for me. I have used several readers and this fits well with enhancements and readability. Thanks.

### 5/5 — This is my main DjVu reader

*2022-09-14, version 2.1.0*

Thank you for the program. Keep improving it.

### 3/5 — Much to be improved (08/2020)

*2020-08-11*

The app needs to be improved. When slanting the device to read more easily, the rendering goes insane, putting a ridiculous gap between the pages of the file. One can fix this but the option is not stored so one needs to change the settings each time. In general one must admit that the rendering is far from optimal. Moreover, it doesn’t support searching for words, which is really a must. 

Think it twice before buying this app.

### 1/5 — Money waste

*2019-04-09*

It’s a total money waste. Don’t buy it.

### 1/5 — 购买之后总是闪退？！

*2019-03-10*

太吃亏了!

### 2/5 — Some DjVu files no longer readable

*2018-06-16, version 2.0.24*

After the latest update some djvu files can only be read in few pages. Then it turns blank. Do not update if you have not done it yet.

### 5/5 — Image disappears...

*2018-04-09*

...when zooming in. 
5 stars - in advance.

### 4/5 — Seems to work well.

*2017-10-21, version 2.0.17*

Seems to work well. Would be nice to be able to see thumbnails of pages.

### 2/5 — Плохо!

*2016-12-13*

Криво отображается, всё время вылетает

### 1/5 — Исправьте баги

*2016-11-09*

Чем дальше тем хуже. После последнего обновления постоянно вылетает, iPad mini2, OS10. Каждое обновление прибавляет проблем.
