### 1/5 — Reads punctuation marks

*2026-05-29, version 5.1.55*

This app would be awesome if it didn’t read punctuation marks. Really annoying when I’m listening to books to hear “right double quotation mark” and “left double quotation mark” over and over. The worst is apostrophe. “We apostrophe re” “I apostrophe m” super annoying.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-01-21, version 5.1.55*

Developer is non responsive to any issue. App keeps crashing since new apple update. It is unusable.

### 1/5 — En français ?

*2025-11-09*

C’est pas en français ? Pas de choix de langue

### 1/5 — ur epubreader cant load No Longer Human

*2025-05-26, version 5.1.55*

oddly specific bug but this reader is incapable of loading osamu dazai's no longer human. i have several dozen books in my library, been using for years, this is the only book that wont load. the same epub files work perfectly on every other epub reader. its only this one. mind boggling

### 1/5 — Now doesn’t work at all. (Previously One fatal flaw)

*2025-02-18, version 5.1.55*

This app is now unusable (also in the pro version). If you download a new file it seems to place it in some temp storage and does not save it, so it don’t be there next time you look. The books I downloaded a few years back are still there but I can’t add any more. Plus they have not corrected the problem I mentioned in my previous review - [ This would be a great app except that it reads the second of any pair of formatted double quotation marks in text!  I really hope they can fix this as it makes books with dialogue unusable with text to speech. I have given it a good rating otherwise as it does otherwise work well.]

### 1/5 — No longer opening PDF files

*2024-08-06, version 5.1.55*

This app was great up until around a month ago. It suddenly stopped opening pdf files including mobi and epub files every thing offered from the site EPDF.pub 

It sends back with a PDF file that there has been an unexpected server response don’t know why it’s happening as the internet is functioning well otherwise at our house

### 3/5 — Great e reader need updates

*2024-06-30, version 5.1.55*

There is not a ebook reader as good as this one however it has its issues mostly due to the lack of updates frequent crashes etc I’d suggest something else honestly.

### 1/5 — Was great, now crashes constantly

*2024-03-10, version 5.1.55*

It’s become unusable sadly

### 1/5 — Schrott

*2024-01-13*

Sorry, geht garnicht. Gelesene Bücher und Ordner lassen sich nicht lösch3n und immer stürzt das Programm ab. 
Lösung ? Ihr werdet gelöscht !

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2023-09-19, version 5.1.55*

App freezes when a word is looked up.  Unable to get support.  Don’t waste your money
