Difficult to close books
Found this app frustrating as it’s really difficult to get back from the book you’re reading to the main menu. Doesn’t matter where you tap. I gave up on the app in the end.
No proper Orientation setting or Orientation lock!!?
*Double face-palm*
I only read my ebooks in Landscape mode. I can display the fonts a bit larger and still have the paragraphs flow in a manner consistent with reading a 'book' as opposed to a newspaper or magazine article.
This app doesn't have a true Orientation mode setting, It only has an Orientation Lock setting. It relies on the iOS's native orientation filter to determine how the screen displays.
What this means: EVERYTIME you load up the app after closing it, it'll auto-default to Portrait even with the Orientation Lock setting applied in your preferred orientation. You have to go in the app's settings, disable the lock, go into Command Center and disable its orientation lock, turn the screen so it displays in Landscaoe, go into the app's settings and turn back on the Orientation Lock, the back into Command Center and put the lock back on there (For your other apps which you use in Portrait).
You have to do that every time the app is closed or is flushed from memory! It sounds small but it gets annoying very quickly
I remember installing this app over a year ago and it had this same critical design defect, so I wonder where the improvements (if any) have been applied to since then.
Also, only 4 touch zone areas to set and at bizarre oblong areas?? Most apps I've seen have 6-8 uniform areas with multiple functions available to set them to (This only has on or off).
Overall, a basic e-reader app which the developer seems to have given up on improving and advancing.
*Uninstalling*
To the dev: Imitation is not only flattery but its the way things generally improve. Do a feature port of Coolreader and improve on what's lacking there and stop wasting everyone's time with an outdated software experience.

Gotten very slow
Loved this app for a long time but it has gotten very slow lately. Every time I turn the page it gets stuck loading. Re-opening my most recent book takes forever. I switched to scrolling mode hoping that it wouldn’t hang as often, and it does help but the formatting is wonky because the page breaks still appear as gaps in the text. Images appear as thumbnails, trying to zoom in takes so long I often force-close the app to get it to respond again and never actually get to see the image because everything actually reloads in an even smaller size. It has literally been loading for the entire time I’ve been writing this review and I’m still waiting for a single image. In fact, it has somehow mangled all books in this time, rendering it completely unusable.

Exceptional app
Been using this app for a while and it’s just the easiest to use even on multiple devices and is easy to use
