## What is StarForce Reader?

The app scans the device for files that might be open on it, automatically adding them to the app's library. StarForce Reader allows you to sort, filter and search for files in the library.

### 1/5 — Didn’t have good experiences using this app

*2024-07-27*

Lost access to my textbook. I contacted the textbook company, and they said the only solution is to redownload the app. I did that, but now there is no option to add a book. This app seems to have very limited features and not fully developed as there was this bug not having the option to add a book. Overall the app was poor quality and slow to load my textbook even when I did have access. :(
