Doesn’t support batch importing. Dropping this app completely.
It may sound dramatic, but after realizing you can only import books one at a time I’m changing my review to 1 star. Every other reader does this fine, but FBReader simply does not support it without using a desktop computer. 1/5 dont recommend.
Missing shift-select text
First thing I tried to do didn’t work, immediately uninstalled. I needed to copy a couple pages to the clipboard. No luck, you can’t shift-select text. App *only* allows you to highlight what you can see within your current view.
Bookmarks Don’t Work
I’ve purchased the app thinking that would enable bookmarks, it doesn’t, bookmarks are still disabled.
The ONLY E-Book Eeader That Supports Volume Buttons to Turn Pages & Custom Gesture Zones.
I like to grip my iPad from the front of the screen while reading books. I find it unnatural and difficult to support the weight while only holding the edges; so being able to disable touch controls entirely and only using volume buttons, OR limiting touch interactivity to only a small portion of the screen is an absolute must. This is the only reader app that supports this on iOS. Not sure why those features are basically not available on iOS, but I came from android where those features are commonplace. So after switching to an iPad, finding this app was a godsend.

Способ оплаты выбираете -нет.Далее перезагружаем телефон,проверяем что стоит регион сша. Далее покупаем на вб карту оплаты для эпл. Можно 15$,вам приходит в чат с продавцом код,вы заходите в апстор и выбираете погасить подарочную карту-вписываете код,который прислал продавец и нажимаете оплатить. На ваш счет зачислят 15$,далее в приложении апстор находим нашу читалку и нажимаем оплатить. Все,оплата прошла. И вы обладатель полной версии. Но если смените регион,все подписки исчезнут. Будьте внимательны

Stupidest timeline
You would think following numerical order would be easy for apps but they all seem to had an aneurysm so the go 1 thens tens then two.
Bad design, multiple bugs
FBReader suffers from poor design decisions and a number of recurring bugs that negatively impact the overall user experience. Basic interactions feel unintuitive, and the app does not always behave as expected. Additionally, support is slow and unresponsive, making it difficult to resolve issues in a timely manner.

Almost on Par
Been a user on Android for well over a decade. Good to see so many features supported here! Just a few missing features that I'd like to see, though (assuming I buy the premium version for full library support, that is): rotation options and a light/dark mode button that can both be independent from system settings, somewhere to see bookmarks across all books, and an option to use the old-style footer progress indicator (the box(es) with a transparent background). Would love to see these gaps filled soon!

Keeps crashing
Was looking for an app to sort books by series and this app does do that. I tried the free version (limited to ten books) and it worked so I used the in app purchase. With the ten book limit gone I loaded my library of epubs. After that the app kept crashing and was unusable. I have attempted to cancel using report a problem and hope that worked because the only reason for cancelling I could use is “other”.

FBReader
I love your application. The interface is simple. I would love to see PDF support. Otherwise, that is very smooth the use. Keep up with great updates. Thank you
виділені закладки неможливо видалити
просто гівно а не додаток. немає необхідних налаштувань, неможливо видалити закладку. взагалі незручний додаток
what is going on?
I can’t even open the app. It started a few days ago. And you still didn’t solve the problem. I always consider this app as the best one, but not now. Hope you will do something about it.
Truly free
Thank you so much for a truly free version that can actually be used, without a thousand ads or interruptions. Everything works perfectly and I hope to buy the paid version as soon as I can. I love the app, the font options, how easy it is to import, and more. Magical!!!
Good!
Please add an option to upload or change a book cover. It would be very helpful!
With iOS 26 crashes and slow
Crashes many times a day now. Also I have to wait several seconds for the book page to open when switching apps. This is quite a regression.
Still the best
Been using FBReader since I had the original Apple IPad Air. It still works 10 years later in Apple, Android and PC. I just upgraded to a galaxy tab 10+ and it still works like a champ
Great app, just needs one tweak!
This is a great app to put all your ebooks on it.
Two things that it is missing which are essential to a good library is:
1) The ability to keyword search all or a group of the books in your library. Currently only keyword search is availabe for the current book you're in.
2) The ability to organize the books in some way. ie. cookbooks, fiction, etc.
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

Completely useless
For such a simple application this is just flat out useless as an iPad reading solution. The vertical scrolling option is so jerky it gives me headaches.

Keeps crashing
A few years ago it was my favourite reader, now it is not usable, keeps crashing and customer support non-existent.
Kleiner, sehr guter Reader
Eigentlich alles gut, kenne ihn schon aus einer anderen Welt und vermisse daher so einiges. Leider keine Favoriten oder gar eigene Sammlungen.
Bitte wenigstens die Anzahl zuletzt gelesene Bücher von 12 erhöhen oder auch dass man Bücher aus dieser Ansicht herausnehmen kann
