### 4/5 — Decent reader

*2026-04-20, version 5.15*

I like the reader. My only complaint is getting to the menu. It’s not obvious and difficult to trigger it to open.

### 3/5 — UI Problems. Is the App abandoned?

*2026-04-16, version 5.15*

On my iPad Air 5 some parts of the side panel are cut off. A mail to the support could not be delivered „Recipient not found“. Otherwise it seems like good app. But why should one by the pro version, when the support is not even reachable and there wasn’t an update for a long time.

### 2/5 — Nice app, but...

*2025-10-12, version 5.15*

Support unavailable, enquiries are rejected as spam.
The reason for my enquiry was the incorrect display of books in night mode. The background is not coloured in.

### 4/5 — Versione completa acquistata…

*2025-09-24, version 5.15*

Era un’ottima app, ma quando verrà aggiornata? Lo schermo è più piccolo di ipad mini 7 e su ios 26 ci sono dei bugs, tra cui il fatto che i menu non scorrono bene. Spero tanto in un aggiornamento perché era un’ app molto ben fatta e che avevo comperato, proprio per avere una bella esperienza di lettura.

### 3/5 — Very Good

*2025-04-11, version 5.15*

Can connect to OPDS Like Internet Archive or Project Gutenberg. Connection to my local Calibre OPDS works. Many book Formats. I missing the shared folder on files app. Some menus are out of screen on my iPad.

### 4/5 — Есть над чем поработать

*2025-02-08, version 5.15*

Доработайте пожалуйста приложение: страница иногда не отображается пока не увеличить формат или отображается половина страницы. Жаль, что нельзя прикрепить фото

### 4/5 — 突然閃退

*2025-01-22, version 5.15*

就是突然閃退,然後app就打不開了,一點開就閃退

### 4/5 — Fullscreen issue on mini

*2024-10-06, version 5.15*

This reader does not have fullscreen function on iPad mini 6. When reading a PDF, particularly on smaller devices such as iPad mini, every inch of the screen matters.

### 3/5 — Night mode not working

*2024-08-28, version 5.15*

What an amazing reader/cataloguer! But it will not go properly into Night Mode.  Instead of background going dark, only the text gets lighter. No amount of customising the colours in this mode makes any difference. 
As I mostly read at night, until Night Mode is fixed I have to, reluctantly, revert to my old reader. Please, please repair this.

### 2/5 — Non funziona più

*2024-07-04, version 5.15*

Mi dispiace tantissimo ma l’app sui miei dispositivi non funziona più. Ero così felice perché avevo trovato una stupenda applicazione per i miei audiolibri ma da qualche giorno non si accende propio. Anche dopo averla disinstallata e poi reinstallata non va

### 2/5 — So close!

*2024-06-30, version 5.15*

Two flaws for my process and needs: First, and relatively minor, it doesn't adjust a cover image to fit, resulting in part of the image being cut off at the bottom. (The image is fine in my usual and perfect ereader, Marvin. (But Marvin isn't in the App Store anymore so I have to find possible replacements.)) Fatal flaw: does not have true author sort, where the list becomes a list of authors and one taps an author to see all five billion of their short stories. (I subscribe to an author's Patreon; I have a lot of short stories which need to have covers, and need to not fill up the space when scrolling around. I also get fanfic epubs from AO3; I don't want to scroll through 50 fics from a prolific author when I'm looking for something!) I'll leave it on my phone and see if it updates to something I can use, but also I'm gonna keep looking.

### 3/5 — Долгая загрузка и открытие книг

*2024-06-21, version 5.15*

Здравствуйте. Я редко оставляю отзывы, а уж тем более негативные. Но данный случай просто вывел меня из себя. Я скачала простую «легкую» (всего 1,1 м) книгу в формате fb2, которая открывалась в течении 10 минут!!! И так и не открылась, к сожалению, с чем легко справились остальные читалки. Попыталась открыть ещё несколько книг - тоже, программа очень долго думает.  И нет, у меня не старый айфон и я своевременно обновляю ПО. Так что, может читалка и хорошая, но мне этого познать не удалось, увы. Всем добра.

### 4/5 — Good alternative reader

*2024-05-31, version 5.15*

Many configurable reading comfort options make this e-reader's full version a worthwile purchase for avid tablet readers. 

For independent minded people: it features a built in webserver to which you can connect to upload documents from any external device with a web browser. 

It doesn't force useless updates (untill now 2024) like the new cloud based subscription models, so the hope is that it continuous to work long after Apple remotely expires the main software.

### 4/5 — Very Good

*2024-05-10*

Can connect to OPDS Like Internet Archive or Project Gutenberg. Connection to my local Calibre OPDS works. Many book Formats. I missing the shared folder on files app. But this is my favorite alternative to Apple‘s Books App.

### 1/5 — пропали все книги

*2026-08-03, version 5.15*

пропали все книги, и не понятно как вспороть этому чудищу брюхо

### 1/5 — Can’t connect to OPDS

*2026-04-20, version 5.15*

I can connect using a browser, I can connect using Chunky, but this app just tells me the connection is not opds.  Except it is. The server IS up and running.  Don’t like Chunky but it seems like the only app that knows networking.

### 1/5 — Themes broken. Abandonware.

*2025-05-15, version 5.15*

Themes are broken in this app. It says you can set colors for all the elements, like text and background, and the preview shows that….

But the background color for text is stuck at white.  Changing it in the interface has no effect.

So try to create a “night reading mode” with white text on a black background, and you get white text on a WHITE BACKGROUND.

Useless.

Hasn’t been fixed in years, so obviously this app is abandoned.

### 1/5 — Where is the support?

*2025-02-01, version 5.15*

I have used this app since it came out, except for the last two years. At that time I became sick and until recently wasn’t reading anything. So now I’m back to reading and went to TiReader to read some books. According to the app, I have no books. According to my iPhone and computer connection I have over 100, but can’t access them. I tried to reach out to the developer at the contact us address and got a message that it’s not a good address. I tried twice, same story. At this time I’d say don’t buy the app. They haven’t updated it in years so I guess they don’t care about the app or their customers. It’s a shame as it was the best book reader out there.

### 1/5 — Не оновлюється, перестав працювати нічний режим

*2024-10-15, version 5.15*

Чудова була читалка до якогось апдейту три роки тому, після якого накрився нічний режим, який ще досі не пофіксили

### 1/5 — Уберите из магазина

*2024-09-29*

Не поддерживается. Почта разработчика не существует.

### 1/5 — No night mode

*2024-06-25, version 5.15*

Cannot activate night mode so useless

### 1/5 — Muy Mala

*2024-03-12, version 5.15*

No me permite configurar la carga de mis libros desde el almacenamiento local y peor aun solo puedo tener 5 elementos, leerlos y desecharlos para que me permitan usar ese espacio sino comprar la versión full, de verdad? Que pésima app.

### 1/5 — tiReader

*2024-01-03, version 5.15*

Плюсы: есть возможность сортировать книги по папкам. На этом все.
Минусы: часто вылетает приложение, долго грузит файлы, нельзя подстроить под себя читалку (формат пролистывания, оформление и тп), файл не на всю страницу, из-за чего появляюсь лишние поля по краям, цена слишком завышена - пришлось сделать возврат средств. 
Выводы: если бы не цена, с минусами можно было бы смириться, а так - приложение не стоит.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2023-08-04, version 5.15*

When app ask you before to start to purchase it is not a free

### 5/5 — Lien cloud

*2025-03-09, version 5.15*

Impossible de ce connecter à un NAS également 
Vraiment dommage

### 5/5 — -

*2025-02-20, version 5.15*

ใช้ง่าย และฟรี

### 5/5 — The best ebook reader

*2024-07-02, version 5.15*

I have pretty much tried them all and this is the best. First off, you can adjust your page to exactly where you want it and make it the default so every book opens that way. Also, when you read in landscape mode each page is numbered (as opposed to Apple’s reader which assigns one number to both pages.) The bookmarks are easy to add and delete,   the page turn animation is cool, and I appreciate the ease at which you can find and add books. I’d stop your search for an ebook reader right here.

### 5/5 — Ottima app

*2024-06-23, version 5.15*

Finalmente ho trovato l’app perfetta per leggere su iPad. Complimenti

### 5/5 — Лучшее!

*2024-04-28, version 5.15*

Без слов — нет того, что бы не открыло!

### 5/5 — !

*2024-02-20, version 5.15*

Очень долго искал такую простую и понятную читалку . Кругом все не то. А тут вот она нашлась родненькая моя ) спасибо разработчикам !
