### 5/5 — ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND

*2026-08-06, version 3.5.2*

Absolute gem of an app, beautifully designed, great catalog of books and helped me practice my Spanish by making my reading experience rly smooth. The in-built translator made it so much easier to identify unknown words and save them. Thank you so much.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-07-03, version 3.5.2*

Офигенное приложение, читаю только здесь теперь. Учу Английский и немецкий) Было бы очень круто, если бы вы добавили бионический шрифт и какие нибудь виджеты. Например, с быстрым доступом к книге или с прогрессом чтения.❤️

### 5/5 — Biggest thanks to the app developer

*2026-07-01, version 3.5.2*

You can see not only the translation of individual words but also the semantic translation of entire sentences. The section for learning new words helps reinforce new vocabulary. Reading statistics are for those who like to track their progress. It's clear that whoever created this is a true connoisseur of books and languages. This app is a must-have for every language learner. I'm absolutely delighted and if I could, I'd give whoever created it a hug. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Шикарное приложение

*2026-05-12, version 3.5.2*

Очень нравится,всегда удобно,есть разные уровни Английского.Нашла даже свои любимые книги!А главное-оно бесплатное!Вообщем,не приложение,а сказка ❤️❤️‍🔥

### 5/5 — Моя ж ты прелесть

*2026-04-26*

Конечно, профит от приложения будет только при подписке. Однако! 1) она дешевая 2) у конкурентов можно купить тока на 3 месяца, а здесь хотя бы попробовать на 1, а потом купить пожизненную или годовую. + тренировка включает себя немного аудио (запоминаешь, как читается слово), ты ПИШЕШЬ это слово с русского на англе, что ОЧЕНЬ ВАЖНО ДЛЯ МЕНЯ! Я такого нигде особо не видела. + есть повторение время от времени, что тоже очень важно и мало где видела. В общем, приложение супер. За 250 рублей в месяц просто бомба. Также можно загружать свои книги, что очень полезно и нужно)

**Developer response:** Спасибо вам большое за столь подробный и замечательный отзыв 🙏♥️

### 5/5 — Супер!

*2026-04-17*

Шикарное приложение! Читаю книги, учу лексику, стоит недорого, молодцы)

**Developer response:** Спасибо большое вам за отзыв!

### 5/5 — Все супер

*2026-04-02*

Нравится все

**Developer response:** Спасибо большое за отзыв 🙏

### 5/5 — Очень удобно.

*2026-03-17*

Даже без «ПРО» подписки все равно удобно использовать.

**Developer response:** Спасибо большое за отзыв 🙏

### 5/5 — The best for reading in a foreign language

*2026-02-27, version 3.5.2*

The best for reading foreign language books. Easy click to view translation of words, phrases, or sentences, and save them to study later. No distracting noises or cartoons flying around the screen, and they don’t automatically upgrade you to a paid subscription like every single other app out there, which I appreciate. The features are enough to sell the subscription.

### 5/5 — Это приложение лучшее, что могло со мной произойти

*2026-02-23*

Я была в приятном шоке, когда ОСОЗНАЛА что умеет это приложение. Приятный выбор книг из родной библиотеки + возможность добавить свою книжку и пользоваться точно таким же функционалом. Вы супер, продолжайте в том же духе! Обязательно куплю подписку ❤️

**Developer response:** Спасибо большое! Обязательно будем продолжать, улучшать и развивать приложение.
