Update to my review - JR now my first choice for all books
And - the improvements/enhancements keep coming - I’m impressed
Response from developer
Thank you very much for the review and the title (about successor) you wrote. It says it all. Because that was my aim in the first place, as a Marvin user. And looks like I am going the right way. Have a nice day, PJ.
Amazing and Feedback is heard!
Response from developer
Hello and thank you so much for this nice and detailed review. We are glad we sorted out the bionic reading font for you. Feedback is something we care about really deeply, which is exactly why this roadmap/voting tab exists. And it's great to hear you like it. If you'll ever run into anything else, you know where to find us :-) Happy reading!
Great app, absurd prices
Response from developer
Hi Moon, thank you for the review, and we're really happy you like the app and the reminders. The app comes with a 14-day free trial so you can try every feature before deciding. After that, a subscription is needed to keep using it. This lets us keep developing the app without ads or selling your data. Your progress is safely saved, so if you subscribe (or buy lifetime), everything will be right where you left it.
É bom mas depois tem que pagar
Response from developer
Olá! Muito obrigado pelo carinho, ficamos felizes que você goste tanto do app! A assinatura é o que nos permite manter o app sem anúncios e sempre melhorando.
Made me enjoy reading again
I came from 18 years of using the Kindle app and watching it get worse and worse with every update. This app shows it's still possible to make a good ebook reader if you actually care about your product. I'm buying a lifetime subscription.
Response from developer
Oh, my. Reading this made our day! As a developer (and a reader first and foremost), there is nothing better than reading that the app made someone enjoy reading again. This is exactly why my son Jachym and I buitd it. Thank you for giving it a chance after 18 years with Kindle, and for supporting us with the lifetime subscription. We’ll keep working hard to deserve it! P.S.:Mac version in the making.
Absurd price but good app
Response from developer
Hi Bob, thank you for the honest review, and great comparison. The difference is time: most AAA games are finished in a few dozen hours, while Lifetime is meant to be your reader for years. Every future update is included, there are no ads and no tracking, and Family Sharing gives it to up to five family members at no extra cost. If $80 up front is too much, Yearly is $29.99, and the 14-day free trial lets you try everything before paying. Glad you like the app :-)
Just(My)Read

JustRead it is :-). Thank you.
日本語対応の中では良さそうだけど…
▶︎良いところ
・日本語対応している、2026年10月現在の既存のPDF,EPUB書籍リーダーの中では一番良さそう
・読書記録もある
・デザインがモダン
・ダウンロードから14日間は無料ですべての機能が使えること
▶︎気になったところ
・書籍一覧メニューのリストの1項目が横に長いのに、タップが反応するのは文字のあるあたりだけ
・書籍一覧メニューが横幅がかなり余っているのに、縦一列でしか表示されない。書籍アイコンが並んだような画面も欲しい。切り替えても縦一列に並ぶだけ。iPad miniの横幅の問題かもしれないが、画面を横向きにしても同様。シリーズがある場合は横に並ぶためなのかもしれないが、手持ちのデータの書籍はシリーズものがないので、ライブラリが見づらいものになる。
・書籍内写真が下部に出るのは不要に感じる
・書籍内画像がネガポジ反転している？(バグ？)
・価格が高過ぎる。上記のバグや開発途上のところがありそうなのに、7000円代は高すぎる。インディアプリの応援の課金ですら、高くても5000円以内。よっぽど大手で評価もユーザーも多くて安定しているアプリならギリギリ7000円払えるけど、という感覚。14日でこの価格を払うかどうかジャッジするのは難しいと思う。せめて1ヶ月は必要。でも個人的には今の状況でこの価格は払えないなと思った。
Response from developer
詳しいレビューをありがとうございます。書籍内画像の反転は、設定から画像の反転をオフにすることで元の表示に戻せます。タップ範囲やグリッド表示についてのご意見も大変参考になります。その他お気づきの点やご要望がありましたら、アプリ内の「ヘルプ」にあるサポートメールからお気軽にご連絡ください。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。
Excellent. 10/10!

Hello Harry and thank you for the review. Hopefully, one day it will be #1. Have a nice day :-) PJ & JJ
3 apps in 1- Five stars
I left a 5* review when this app was first released, but that never seemed to make it to the store. The app can now work with books, audiobooks and comics. I have the app on: an iPad with comics on it, an iPad mini with epubs, and iPhone with audiobooks. Absolutely fantastic.
Response from developer
Hello Richard and thank you for those 5 stars! And you can expect the MAC version in the near future to manage your library the simplest possible way. Thank you and happy reading. PJ & JJ
Your Books, Your Way
I’ll start with my one little complaint. Just one. The all-lowercase name justread makes a little spot at the back of my brain twitch. This is an app for *readers* and I can’t be the only one. JustRead, justRead, justREAD. Please?
Other that, the app is great - ridiculously customizable, works great with both my Calibre library and ODPS, syncs across devices, and the stats tab (especially the end of month summary) is very cool. Even supports audiobooks. Best of all, the developer has been *AMAZINGLY* responsive. There have been three updates adding new features and fixes (including two things I’d requested) in as many weeks. It actually has a roadmap tab to show what’s coming next (if you want to see it - did I mention how customizable the app is?).
If you’re an iOS reader, especially one that likes to maintain your own library, this is your app.
(Edit - did I mention how responsive the developer is? My one silly little complaint has been addressed in today’s update. JustRead it is.)
Response from developer
JustRead it is :-). Thank you.
Better than any other!
Response from developer
Hello and thanks for a quick and nice review!
Finally a worthy successor to Marvin
1. A good reading experience with easy access to the look & feel of the words on the page. This is combined with control of brightness of the screen for bedtime reading
2. Adroit use of metadata to organise your library - a big tick on this
3. Synchronisation back & forth to your choice of the one true data set of your books - in my case Calibre
In the short time since I found this app and paid the full price (I hate subs), the author has improved it by leaps & bounds. He has even implemented a couple of my suggestions.
Support is wonderful - fast & helpful - bugs (aka features that do not work in the way you expect) are explained & sorted
There is also a growing list of features that are present/fixed/to be fixed/or on the list to do. You can add to this list your favourite wish - I presume that if this is sensible/has support then it will bubble up to the top of improvements.
Disclaimer - I only use this app for my ePubs, and can’t comment as to comics or PDFs
Forget the other e-reader apps - this is the one to go for

Wow great app, awesome dev
Response from developer
Hello and thank you for a kind review. I am glad you are glad :-) And whenever you'll have another idea, please let us know. Happy reading. P.S.: MAC version is in the development and there will be one surprise for Kobo users as I am a big fan and user of Kobo ereaders.
Best e-reader app

Response from developer
Thank you very much for this long review, and for sticking with the app since the trial. It means a lot coming from a longtime KyBook3 reader! I know how hard it is to trust a new app with a library you have spent years building. I'm really pleased with the customization feedback. Also the end-of-month summary is one of my favorite parts too. And thank you for the feature requests. A lot of what's on the roadmap came from readers like you, so please keep them coming. As for the name: fair point, and you're not the only one who's mentioned it. I've added it to my list to think about (not the roadmap). No promises yet, but your brain twitch has been officially noted. Happy reading!
Finally! I can use my library the way I want to

Hello Tracy and thank you for a very nice response. If you ever run into a problem, we are here. Happy Reading, PJ

THANK YOU. Really thanks. Nice to hear :-). Happy reading.
Leider ziemlich gut
Interessant hingegen finde ich die Möglichkeit, mit Calibre zu synchronisieren. Also starte ich mit dem Sync: Über 4000 Bücher, 100 teils sehr große PDFs: Eine gute halbe Stunde hat es gedauert, ohne Fehler. Wow, das hätte ich nicht erwartet. Das Zusammenspiel mit Calibre ist großartig.
Es gibt viele Extras wie "Lesefortschritt" oder andere Statistiken. Das brauche ich nicht. Wie schön, dass ich das alles von der Benutzerfläche ausblenden kann.
Das Menü steht erfreulicherweise auch auf Deutsch zur Verfügung, da fühlt man sich zu Hause.
Wichtig: Die Formatierungsmöglichkeit der Epubs. Sehr umfassend und übersichtlich präsentiert. Wenn man die entsprechende Einstellung erst einmal findet, kann man auch jedes Buch einzeln formatieren. Eigene Schriften können problemlos importiert werden!
[OBSOLET! DIESES PROBLEM WURDE WIE ANGEKÜNDIGT VOM ENTWICKLER MIT V4.6 BESEITIGT: Für mich ein Negativpunkt: Wählt man den Verlagsstil (Formatierung und Typographie des Buches werden übernommen) muss man ohne Silbentrennung auskommen. Sie ist dann nicht mehr auswählbar. Das ist im Deutschen mit seinen sehr langen Wörter durchaus nachteilig. Schade, ich hätte gern öfter den Verlagsstil genutzt!?]
Ansonsten nur Lob. Die App läuft sehr flüsssig, ohne Fehl und Tadel.
Leider ist der Preis entsprechend. Ein Abo kommt für mich nicht in Frage und die hohe Einmalzahlung ist eine Wette auf die nächsten drei, vier Jahre. Ich habe noch 10 Tage Zeit zu überlegen. Leider ist die App schon ziemlich gut, das Beste, was ich in diesem Bereich getestet habe. Deshalb alle Sterne.
Response from developer
Vielen Dank für die ausführliche und freundliche Bewertung! Gute Nachricht zu Ihrem Kritikpunkt: Die Silbentrennung im Verlagsstil ist fertig und kommt mit Version 4.6. Viel Freude beim Lesen!
