### 5/5 — 超级好用阅读器一枚

*2026-10-03*

超级纯净且能让人专注下来的阅读器，用来读小说太爽了，想到了十年前Android上第一次用静默阅读的感觉，赞👍🏻

**Developer response:** 感谢您的五星好评和支持！很高兴您喜欢青页小说阅读器的清爽、本地阅读体验。我们会继续认真优化功能和使用体验，让青页越来越好！

### 5/5 — 软件很好

*2026-09-16*

软件很好，有显示状态栏开关就好了

**Developer response:** 感谢喜欢！阅读时系统顶部状态栏目前会收起来，点屏幕中间唤出菜单才会出现。阅读页自己的时间、电量和页码，可以在阅读设置里开关「显示时间与电量」，还能改到顶部或底部。系统状态栏的独立开关会放到下一个版本，打开后阅读时也能一直看到信号和时间。

### 4/5 — 666

*2026-09-09*

能把排版优化特别是空白行过多的情况处理好就更完美了

**Developer response:** 谢谢支持，也收到了不少同样的截图：网文 TXT 段与段之间会空出一整行，这是目前的默认排版。请先到阅读设置打开「压缩多余空行」，再把「段距」调小，空白会马上收掉，不会改原文件。下一个版本会改成默认收紧这类空行，不用再翻设置。

### 5/5 — Only one time update every month not every day because this is getting ridiculous as it is

*2026-08-31*

Only one time update ever month not every day because it is getting ridiculous as it is and you’re gonna in your app is gonna make the both tablets explode soon if you keep on updating the app

### 5/5 — Отлично 👌

*2026-08-30*

Купил. Я был бы очень признателен, если бы в приложении появилась возможность перелистывать страницы, как в книге, а также функция сохранения книг в облачном хранилище прямо в приложения.

**Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв и поддержку! Мы рады, что приложение вам понравилось. Поддержка русского языка уже запланирована и будет добавлена в версии 1.8. Спасибо за ваше предложение!

### 3/5 — 有点问题

*2026-08-29*

小说排版很舒服，但点开目录就会卡，而且很慢，这点希望能改进！

**Developer response:** 最新版本已经优化了这部分，可以更新再体验一下，不断在优化中

### 2/5 — 很一般

*2026-08-26*

软件很一般，功能不全，TXT的空行不会自动删除，另外翻页的话不能设置全屏翻页

**Developer response:** 感谢您的反馈！您提到的 TXT 空行处理以及全屏翻页设置问题我们已经收到，会在后续版本中进行检查和优化。

我们也会继续完善阅读和翻页体验，感谢您的支持与建议。

### 5/5 — Only one time update every month

*2026-08-21*

Это превосходное приложение, которое предлагает только самые необходимые функции. Было бы замечательно, если бы появилась поддержка русского языка.
