I have been strictly using e-books for years. Hoping to see more to be developed. I love the convenience of carrying books in my device for any time access, and no more storage spaces needed for physical books. ### 1/5 — Confusing *2022-09-15, version 3.37.0* My purchases are gone and won’t let me read anything ### 4/5 — Difficult to make purchases *2022-09-12, version 3.37.0* I successfully created an account, but it is difficult to make purchases in a language other than Chinese. The previews available for adult videos are disappointing because they are very short and do not give a precise idea about the content of specific videos. Some free video samples do no work at all when downloaded or viewed online. This can be frustrating as you cannot determine whether or not you will line the content. This being said, I will continue to buy adult products. ### 3/5 — I couldn’t log in after registering *2022-05-20, version 3.35.0* I successfully registered, but when I tried to login it says login failed. No idea why ### 4/5 — 電子書 *2022-03-17, version 3.33.2* 電子書輕點即翻頁，方便閱讀，好！👌 ### 5/5 — Lots of books and magazines *2022-01-19, version 3.33.1* Love all the books and choices. The apps is easy to use and stable so far. ### 2/5 — 動画が見られない バージョン3.33.0 *2022-01-13* バージョン3.33.0にアップデートしたら動画が見られなくなりました。 症状:動画を見ようとすると表紙の画像がアップになった状態でアプリの動作が止まる。 **Developer response:** ご不便をおかけして申し訳ありませんが、ビデオ再生の問題を修正したバージョン 3.33.1 に更新してください ### 2/5 — 訂閱了就不能取消..... *2021-11-02, version 3.32.0* 訂閱了就不能取消.....在手機setting上沒有取消訂閱的選項！ ### 1/5 — 不能分屏使用 *2021-01-01, version 3.19.0* 如題。 ### 1/5 — Pastes clipboard when opening. *2020-10-30, version 3.17.0* There is no reason for this. I don’t trust this app. ## Frequently asked questions about Pubu ### What is this app?
