Se tivesse melhor portabilidade como os seus concorrentes seria com certeza um nota 10! Mesmo que não seja do interesse dos devs atuar no Android ou Windows/Linux, ainda assim seria interessante o salvamento de arquivos via WebDAV (não somente importação) e sincronização de leitura via KOSync, dando autonomia para o usuário fazer a portabilidade de seus dados para onde o app não alcança em outros dispositivos. ### 5/5 — This is an amazing ebook reader *2026-04-11, version 3.3.11* I’ve been using this app the past year and it’s been amazing. The amount of updates to improve the app is great and they are frequent and I look forward to seeing the new updates each time, there has been many updates to make the app more user friendly and have a pleasant layout. They have also added statistics for reading which was something I really wanted last year. I think the premium subscription is a relatively good price and for all the features and usefulness of the app it is worth it. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good ebook reader that supports different formats. ### 5/5 — 一点使用小建议 *2026-02-21* 用下来目前最满意的干净阅读器之一，我是个重度听书用户，提一点小建议，是一些使用过程里的bug，望采纳： 1、朗读遇到符号比如#一直有乱码，遇到一些文本符号多的会乱得更厉害，所以每次朗读出现这样的情况都得关掉，下一页再继续开。还有一些文本不存在的空格，偶尔会突然被朗读出乱码，希望能改善。 2、朗读希望增加从本页开始朗读的功能。 这个阅读器真的不错，功能按键都非常明了，仅是试用版功能也很全面，希望多多改善。 ### 5/5 — I paid for pro to figure out what all “comic mode” is, so for anyone else wondering… *2026-02-18, version 3.3.8* Firstly I have a feature request for a sepia filter for manga/comic epubs/PDFs because a stark white manga page hurts my eyes but I’ll put up with it because this is the best all-rounder e-reader app I’ve tried in my hunt for a decent one, and I’ve tried a lot. For one thing, PureLibro, even on the free version, actually fills the screen with the epub comic page image rather than having huge margins with no way of full screening or zooming in like every other e-reader I’ve tried. So if you’re not fussed about some other features even as a basic, free e-reader it gets right what so many others just overlook. It also, contain your shock, maintains good image quality where for some reason others struggle with this. I’m not an app developer but I don’t really understand why. Now as for the pro features, specifically “comic mode,” whose special settings would probably make a decent addition to the preview screenshots, does include being able to switch reading mode from right to left, easily with a toggle, which is obviously more appropriate with the likes of manga. RTL reading is something I think should be free but I also believe in paying devs for their work so this is not really a complaint, more a nitpick. RTL should at least be advertised, I had to pay for it to find out if it was included. Otherwise, it does basically what you’d think “comic mode” implies. I have yet to try the AI enhancer but if I ever do I’ll add details. That said, it’s finally an e-reader app that just displays my epub comics/manga and text books without fuss so it’s convinced me to buy the lifetime. I’m looking forward to seeing more development! (like a sepia filter, hint hint lol) ### 5/5 — Best Reading App ive had *2026-02-10* Clean UI, easy to use, and I’ve spent countless hours reading without a single problem. Probably my favorite app right now! ### 3/5 — 問題 *2025-12-20, version 3.3* 有時候閱讀小說的時候，想要把書翻成繁體字會不成功 ### 5/5 — 要是有导入自定义词典就好了 *2025-11-29, version 3.2.3* 要是能在 app 内置支持星际译王格式的词典就好了，或者内购才有这功能也行呀 ### 5/5 — Best of the best *2025-10-17, version 3.2.1* Best app ever ### 5/5 — 好用 *2025-10-14* 挺好用的 ### 2/5 — 改版后 *2025-10-12, version 3.2.1* 没有web下载功能了 ### 5/5 — 非常好用的阅读器 *2025-09-27, version 3.2.1* 为了看漫画选择了这个App，非常清爽的界面，使用起来也很丝滑。我最喜欢的是在看漫画时可以选择翻页的方向，使用横屏的时候阅读起来非常舒适。希望能够新增调节漫画边距的功能，有一些漫画会有跨页效果，内页边距无法调节，在阅读漫画的过程当中会感觉很奇怪。 ### 5/5 — Awesome ebook reader! *2025-09-24* This has been a great ebook reader for simply reading political literature! For the sake of simply consuming literature, simply having bookmarks, notes, and the ability to read epubs, as well as text size options is more than enough! ### 5/5 — Best *2025-09-22* I love this app! There is no app that can fulfill all my needs if not PureLibro; thanks to GPT’s recommendation too ### 3/5 — Great reader app, menus are not localized *2025-09-21* I very much am enjoying PureLibro, it works as expected and all the features listed here are supported. However, many of the menus and settings are not localized in English, even with my language settings set to English. I did not have this app before iOS 26 so l am unsure what is a bug with iOS vs intended behavior of the app. Half the settings titles are in English and the others are in Mandarin characters. I have to take screenshots and then run them through the translator to understand settings. It would be great if these menus could be fully translated and localized into the selected language. I will gladly adjust my review if this gets updated. Otherwise, great app for what I need it to do ### 5/5 — Great ebook Reader App *2025-09-18* I used to use the Marvin app and I hadn’t realized that it was discontinued until I upgraded my phone. This app is the best replacement that I could find. It has the features that I like having night and day settings, custom typography, and orientation lock so my phone doesn’t turn sideways if my phone moves around. Highly recommend! ### 4/5 — Excellent app, small issue with latest update *2025-09-16* App does everything I need to and more. Latest update seems to have broken some of the UI where the menus that were updated are in simplified or traditional Chinese and the rest are in English. ### 5/5 — Awesome reader app!!! *2025-09-02* I love the UI!! It has a lot of the features I like in a reader app. I think the only thing missing for me would be an option to edit the epub text like you can a txt file/and to be able to add another page to the epub. I sometimes find grammar errors or little annoyances but refrain from correcting because I’ve already made notes and bookmarks on it. 💔 But overall a really beautiful application, it’s multipurpose makes it valuable for anyone! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Deleted all books *2026-05-08* I’ve used this app for a while trusted it so much that I deleted other back ups of books which I had elsewhere for storage. Yesterday I downloaded the new update and it deleted every single book that I had downloaded and all my reading data. **Developer response:** Sorry, you can simply restart the software to restore it, as the system was busy due to a database upgrade. ### 1/5 — Scam app does not let you delete it *2026-02-05, version 3.3.5* This app does not allow the user to delete it after they download it. It is a scam. It tries to force you to pay $99 a month to use it! It is a scam! Why is it on the App Store?! IT TRIED TO FORCE ME TO PAY IT $99 TO USE IT. IT IS A SCAM. ### 1/5 — Beware of the paid subscription *2025-11-05* “Accidentally” leaves out the fact that the free version won’t read CBZ files until you try to read them and then it prompts you to buy their paid subscription :) **Developer response:** CBZ format is a comic package, a dedicated comic mode, and is a paid feature. If your comics are in epub or mobi format, you can import and read them for free. ### 1/5 — No bulk import?! *2025-02-13* I was excited to try this app, until I realized there is no way to bulk import books, you have to add them one at a time. I have hundreds of books in my calibre library, I’m not going to sit here for days adding my books one-by-one. So, this is a fail for me. **Developer response:** You can transfer books via WiFi or import them by selecting multiple options in the file app ### 1/5 — Can’t change background after purchased Pro version *2025-02-05, version 2.6.19* I purchased the Pro version of this app, but after a couple of days, I couldn’t change the background in the book anymore. The app prompted me to buy the Pro version again or switch to a monthly subscription plan. Very disappointing! ### 1/5 — 我真的非常后悔更新，新版，真是让人恶心 *2025-02-04, version 2.6.19* 更新之后之前的正则表达式不管用了？是因为版本不一样吗？如果要更改版本，为什么不再更新的时候告知，而且这还是专业版的功能。还有这个添加正则的窗口真的好麻烦之前可以边添加边debug现在不行了？只能一次输入添加不能校正？这个功能改的这么繁琐，到底是怎么想的，不要做这种画蛇添足的事情，是创作团队换人了吗？ ### 1/5 — 不喜欢更新提醒的弹窗 *2024-12-14, version 2.6.18* 不喜欢更新提醒的弹窗 ### 1/5 — 听书功能选择缺失 *2024-12-14, version 2.6.18* 希望增加更多的tts选择权，只有阿里云太不应该了 ### 1/5 — No true author-sort. *2024-06-30, version 2.6.8* I have a lot of books by some authors and I want to be able to see a list of just the author names, then tap on an author name for the list of just their books. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t support external… *2024-02-17* This app doesn’t seem to support reading files from external storage. I’m looking for an app that allows me to view and read my externally stored files without using my internal storage. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 最最好用的阅读软件！ *2026-08-20* 界面很干净清爽，几乎所有功能都可以自定义，并且开发者一直在根据用户的意见改进更新，能感受到团队对产品的用心，所以更新版本都几天或者一周就抬上来一次。真的非常尊重用户反馈，我周日提的建议被看到了今天就新增了功能！希望这个软件能被更多人看到！ ### 5/5 — some language localization issues; otherwise stellar *2026-08-19* i have been searching for an epub reader that meets all my needs for ages and am ecstatic to have finally found this one. super underrated. i like that it resizes text by discrete font size rather than just having a continuous sliding scale and that you can see the page number and pick between whether it shows you your progress for the chapter or full text. the interface is also quick and responsive and i like the little book character that shows up when you upload an epub. very cute. my only issues are that there are some parts of the app that have not been translated to english/optimized for devices outside of china and the turn page via volume option does not work (it conflicts with the actual volume functionality; i think the app needs a way to disable the usual volume button outcome). but neither of these have really impacted my personal user experience at all ### 5/5 — 也是用了几年了 *2026-08-12* 见证了许多次更新，我还是学生，经济比较紧张，所以没有开通专业版，一些新功能体验不到，但是普通版也非常够用了，我打算等下个月兼职工资发下来后，开通一个专业版支持一下，拜托可千万别倒闭啊🙏 ### 5/5 — 希望给pdf和漫画添加笔记功能 *2026-08-10* 如题 ### 5/5 — Very useful product *2026-07-25* Great app. Very functional, one time purchase for full product. Does what it says it will do. I recommend. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-04, version 3.3.16* My go-to place for any comics that I want to read and store! ### 5/5 — Android *2026-05-29, version 3.3.15* Is there an Android version or any other version available? ### 5/5 — 谢谢 *2026-05-06* A wonderful app. You can upload your own fonts for books. Great design. The developers continuously improve the app and respond to suggestions for improvement. In my opinion, it is one of the best apps on the market. 一款非常出色的应用。可以为书籍上传自定义字体。设计优秀。开发者不断改进应用，并会回应改进建议。在我看来，这是市场上最好的应用之一。 ### 5/5 — 希望继续更新更多功能 *2026-04-30, version 3.3.13* 好用，希望增加“随机打开一本书”的功能 ### 5/5 — 有史以来最好的阅读器 *2026-04-24* 这是我有史以来用过最好用的多平台阅读器 没有之一 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
