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.

Awesome
The best
Poor sync when the number of books exceeds a certain large number
Needs to be able to sync books across devices
All are connected to the same account.
But iPad shows different set while iPhone shows a different set.
Should be able to help the user to understand if it’s the store account issue.

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.

Απαράδεκτη
Δεν φορτώνει όλα τα λινκ μια σκέτη ταλαιπωρία
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
Horrible interface for navigation
It is impossible to easily navigate between settings whilst using this app. Developer needs to improve operability
Why b&w
Confused and just not patient enough to navigate yet another app just to read a pdf
Help?
So far so good?? I mean the app itself is great, not overly crowded, ui is great,,, only problem is that when I was looking through appearance settings, I clicked on alternate renderer because I wanted to see what it was, and it crashed the app? And now I can’t open the app??
Заметки
Когда я хочу оставить заметку в книге, кнопка сохранить не активна из-за глюков программы
Exceptional!!
I can upload as many ebooks as I want, no ads, auto-scroll option, and many other features that I loved.
Eye strain
Stock themes are terrible, black theme has gray text instead of white, so it strains eyes. There is no way to set your own colors.
amazing
Easy to use, convenient, and simple interface. Lovee love love it
Do not change anything please!
An excellent app for reading books! Tons of options, including text to speech. I will use this thing forever if it is not messed with or changed so please keep it this good. So many great settings for ease and productivity. I’ve read 11 books through this app and I won’t stop any time soon.
