### 1/5 — 为什么Democracy in America不给上传

*2024-04-22*

？

### 5/5 — 反馈一个小问题

*2023-10-23*

iphone12，ios16.6.1，在显示与亮度-缩放显示-默认情况下，阅读界面可以全屏显示，和appstore配图一样。

更改显示与亮度-缩放显示-更大字体后，阅读界面无法全屏显示，上下有空白区域。

### 5/5 — ❤️

*2022-12-19*

Nice

### 1/5 — Beware—cannot upload EPUB files from browser or files app on phone

*2022-09-22*

When EPUB files are uploaded to the app from iPhone Files or a browser, the file name appears but the content isn’t uploaded—the files show up in the app as blank.

### 5/5 — 建议加入替换功能

*2021-11-25*

已经做了搜索，替换应该不难，对于某些小说里的错别字挺好用的

### 3/5 — 3星

*2020-10-29*

加分项，介面清新
减分项，不支持图片显示，不支持iPad
综合3星

### 5/5 — 请问买了专业版换手机重新下载还需要重新购买吗？

*2020-08-31*

希望能出一个横推的动画，因为现在简约版本我翻页的时候都不知道有没有翻页。另外很方便的一个阅读软件，没有开屏广告我真的太爱啦。

### 5/5 — 总体来说不错

*2020-07-28*

很简洁方便的软件，设计的和色调都很深得我心，不过希望可以增加更多的翻页方式。
我一般比较习惯于滑动，就是不分页数，一直滑到底的那种翻页方式。还有人喜欢左右滑动啊之类的。希望能够增加滑动翻页吧，光靠点真的不习惯的勒。

### 5/5 — Most awesomesauce reading app everr!!

*2020-06-23, version 1.4.2*

Dude this app is fcken awesome! The level of customization is amazeballs. I love how I can download pretty much any font that has ever existed (even comic sans and wingdings) and the best best most underrated feature imo is the tap zone customization. Triangle 1 4lyfe! Like why isnt this everywhere?! Even the gestures guide is so perfectly explained! Great UI! Makes all other reading apps look so plebeian. Thanks for making such a clean highly-customizable FREE app! And the tiny size omg I am officially your number one fan I wish I could give you more than just these five stars <33

### 5/5 — 适合苹果手机用户

*2020-04-09*

好用么么哒，不知道那些给一星的怎么想的
路哥并不是天生面瘫，仔细看动画细节，白色房间人满的时候路哥还是笑的，逐渐变成最后一个人（变成最强）之后就不会笑了校园四霸里就只有折木奉太郎才是正常的，其他三个都需要被人救赎#(滑稽)#(滑稽) 以前看的时候没怎么注意，原来路哥小时候有一撮毛特别长的吗#(滑稽) 这说到底是动画做的，原作里没说，不过我记得好像在坂柳的回忆中路哥就是莫得表情的一出生就在里面，哪笑的出来
