### 3/5 — Best reader!

*2019-11-19*

Since the last iOS update I can no longer open EPUBs straight from the safari browser. They said they would update it but that was months ago. 

I also had to look for alternatives to stanza, and Megareader is the best so far. The only things that are missing is the ability to let the user create his own lists and to show the reading progress. But I love look and the support is great, too!

### 4/5 — The gown

*2019-06-24*

Need to download the book and read it first

### 4/5 — Super

*2019-04-17*

Très bon.

### 4/5 — Organizational pains

*2019-03-30*

Ability to organize your books would be greatly appreciated.

### 3/5 — Вылетает!

*2019-01-20*

Перестала загружаться, вылетает

### 5/5 — Well worth my investment.

*2019-01-18*

My favourite app on my phone by far. The opportunity to replace my hard copy collection positively priceless. My humble thanks to the app developers and book suppliers. The tools to educate oneself at ones own pace is beyond value.

### 5/5 — Спасибо огромное разработчикам!!!!

*2018-12-17*

Отличное приложение, есть все что нужно и даже больше! 
Уже несколько лет использую приложение, лучше ничего нет!)))
Для тех кому непонятно где книги на русском))) Необходимо прописать ссылки на опдс каталоги (кнопочка есть- добавить библиотеку) Ссылки на бесплатные опдс каталоги берут в интернете, Гугл в помощь. 
Некоторые каталоги заблокированы по закону рф, например Флибуста, для того чтобы использовать данную библиотеку необходимо установить vpn (в апсторе есть масса бесплатных).
❤️ на пятый гаджет уже устанавливаю
Зе бест!

### 5/5 — Круто

*2018-11-27*

Всем советую! Полезно и интересно?

### 2/5 — Want to love it

*2018-11-20*

It’s a good start. The app crashes a lot, I like the OPDS support, however it fails with HTTP basic password authentication action pretty miserably. The UI is rather slow and jittery, and the page turning feels unnatural - I don’t like the pan gesture, it should provide feedback on page turn like kindle and iBooks, instead it’s just a weird gesture to progress the page without animation... an app this mature should have a proper animation. It’s honestly not worth it, I regret buying it and just manually add my stuff to iBooks.

### 5/5 — Great

*2018-10-31*

Almost as good as Stanza, RIP.

### 5/5 — Excellent, ce lecteur a tout

*2018-10-22*

Ce superbe lecteur vous permet de lire des livres gratuits parmi une liste de titres impressionnante et dans plusieurs langues le cas échéant. Les paramètres de lecture sont nombreux et très complets. Pour ma part, c'est un MUST incontournable.
Enfin le catalogue s'enrichit avec le temps.. ce qui ne gâte rien.

### 5/5 — Very comprehensive and books of all ages and categories

*2018-10-15*

Excellent!

### 4/5 — Re:mega reader

*2018-09-01*

Excellent app

needs a better way to import books but other than that excellent.

### 4/5 — Good so far, I just got it so I will see.

*2018-08-31*

I have to give it a good try later

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2018-08-28*

### 1/5 — Keine eigenen Bücher möglich, schlimme Navigation

*2023-07-14*

Zum eine kann man keine eigenen Bücher importieren, zum anderen kommt man nur wieder ins Menü, wenn man bis über das Cover zurück blättert. Dann ist auch noch das Fußzeilen Menü abgeschnitten.

### 1/5 — Позорище

*2022-11-04*

Это ужас от начала и до конца. 
1. Не все книги качаются;
2. Нет возможности посмотреть слово, выделить фрагмент
3. Допотопный уродливый дизайн 
4. Часто лагает и показывает две страницы подряд. Если читать, переключиться на другое приложение, потом вернуться, страница перелистывается и та, на который был раньше, пропадает 
5. И этот ужас еде и платный. 

Разработчики, скачайте себе в это приложение swift для чайников и научитесь думать. А мне верните деньги.

### 1/5 — Pas très utile

*2018-07-28*

Très peu de livres disponible. Beaucoup ne sont que les previews et pas les livres en entier. A éviter.

### 1/5 — Bad (juddery) update

*2018-02-25*

This used to be the best book reader app. Now it's been 'improved' it is worse.

Why does it judder and why is it jerky? Weird

The navigation had been designed by an app developer who has never used the app. Very disappointing. It's jerky and jumps about and takes ages.

When you're reading a book and click 'back' it doesn't go back to the contents page or the book entry in your book list but it goes right back to the general list of all books.

Bad app design.

Please employ an app designer who actually tests and uses the app.

Shame - this was in many ways the leader in the field. It always was.

Poor upgrade

### 1/5 — Weird and slow

*2017-11-22*

This used to be the best reading app. 

Now it is painfully slow. When you click on a book title it does a strange jig to the left and then loads - very slowly. Why?

The new app is a terrible design - very slow and a bit weird.

It will still connects you with an amazing repository of great books but is pointlessly hampered.

Strange choices, strange design.

Surely people who want to read a book want an app which is plain and simple?

### 1/5 — Не работает.

*2017-09-26*

Не вижу, как вернуться в предыдущее меню и вообще на главную страницу. Всегда показывает страницу буфера. До обновления до 3 версии всё было хорошо. И ещё. После обновления затёрлись скачанные ранее книги. Обидно...

### 1/5 — Нет книг на русском

*2017-07-18*

авторы умалчивают о том, что на русском книг практически нет, а те что есть, вряд ли кому интересны

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-01-04*

No new books. Ages old books which are already available in iBooks. Waste of money. Do not buy

### 1/5 — Razoável

*2012-09-14*

Realmente vários títulos, mas engana quanto ao português, não consegui encontrar ainda, se é que tem. 

Poderia ser melhor informado quanto aos livros no aplicativo. 

Acho que foi perda de tempo e dinheiro.

### 1/5 — 日本語が無い。

*2012-09-02*

書籍数は確かに多いが、日本人向け…特に英語の苦手な方には不向きである。
せめて、日本語の書籍等を加えて欲しい。
従って、APP購入したのは良いが全く役に立っていないのが現状である。

### 5/5 — Still the best

*2024-11-19*

Been using this for donkeys years and it’s still the best on a 2023 iPad air. It still has the same bug where you re- open the app and it jumps pages sometimes. All you do is go back 5 pages and then forwards to where you want. 
It’s a remake of the old Stanza app for yous that have been here a while. 
Every few years I try the highest rated leaderboard apps, but this is still the best. It’s the amount of customisation that does it for me.

### 5/5 — Mega Reader

*2024-04-06*

Works great!

### 5/5 — Cannot open ePub from Safari

*2019-10-23*

After iOS upgrade to 13.1 I cannot open ePub files from Internet in MegaReader. Safari offers to download an ePub file to iCloud Drive. And then in iCloud Drive the only app to read the ePub is iBooks. Please do something so that MegaReader option becomes available!

### 5/5 — Great App!!

*2019-08-11*

Heaps of books, mostly catalogued into appropriate genres. Won't disappoint. Happy Reading.

### 5/5 — MegaReader

*2019-05-26*

MegaReader: MegaValue; MegaResource.  Absolutely outstanding free library.  Get it, browse, download and read.

### 5/5 — Megareader is great

*2019-05-05*

I love this app! Hasn't disappointed yet. Like having the world's best libraries in your pocket

### 5/5 — Beau choix classique

*2019-04-17*

Facile à consulter et choix intéressant

### 5/5 — Scorpion

*2019-03-30*

Добавить русские каталоги

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2019-02-27*

I'm going to give this full marks. To have access to these kinds of resources on one's mobile is amazing in itself. I'm not familiar with all the techy stuff other reviewers mention but the app is well worth the money.

### 5/5 — At Last

*2019-01-26*

I’ve found a reliable epub reader. This one has all the things I need to change several items on my ebooks. Good job.
