Why does the negativity towards Reader persist? This is a GREAT app!!! It has no problems.
Minimalist apps frequently get panned because they aren't colorful and pretty. If you need pretty, either adapt to the fact that minimalist is elegant or go elsewhere.
If you're looking for excellence in Support & Function, you have arrived!

I still don’t see the complaints against Reader to be valid. I have installed Reader on my 2024 M4 iMac once more and have found its every function to be perfect and working as promised.
If you need pretty maybe look elsewhere. If minimalist is something you aren’t familiar with find out what it means because Reader is the ultimate implementation of minimalist design done to perfection.
Give the app a real try. Don’t be put off by the complaints. Reader is just what it was designed to be a reader without junk.

Perplexing
It opened a PDF, but much of what seemed attractive about it (e.g. copying a citation to Author) simply doesn’t work. I even struggled to select text. Really wanted this to work, and I hope it gets better.
It does not work
Promise after promise that the developer would correct the problem with this app and nothing has happened. It still doesn’t work.

The title says it all.
