Amazing app I love it

PocketBook has completely transformed the way I read. The app is clean, intuitive, and incredibly easy to use. I love that I can organize my library, customize the reading experience with different fonts, themes, and spacing, and pick up right where I left off across my devices.

What really stands out is how smoothly everything works. It supports so many file formats, making it easy to keep all of my books in one place instead of juggling multiple apps. Whether I’m reading for a few minutes during a break or getting lost in a novel for hours, PocketBook makes the experience enjoyable and distraction-free.

If you’re looking for a reliable, beautifully designed e-reader that puts readers first, this is the app to get. It’s become my favorite reading companion, and I recommend it to anyone who loves books. 📚💚

PLEASE ADD NAVIGATION

The app is great but there’s no back button to the home page once on a book…fine for android with a back button but needs navigation on iPhone!!!

Clean and simple

I love the auto-scrolling mode!

Honest review

The voices can be a little bit better and it sometimes varies in which voice uses it for certain sentences at random and it struggles with a few words that are not common, but a pretty good

Sorry app designer, I was wrong! Pretty nice ebook app.

In my previous review my main issue wasn't with the app (Unbeknownst to me) but with Apple's implementation of the orientation API)

After I accepted that and came to terms with having to keep the screen level while reading its more acceptable.

I still think think it needs more touch zone options and features, but as I'm using it in its free format its acceptable.
