So, Pro version is reading punctuation symbols (russian text) which makes the text hard to listen. Could it be fixed please? ### 3/5 — Hard to use, clunky *2023-09-01, version 5.1.61* I really only use this app to read one rare book type, azw3. I don’t mind the interface within books but I’ve not been able to add any books to the library. I have about 4 of these tests, the only way I’ve found to open them is to start in the file manager on my IPad and navigate to the book I want, then “share” that file using this app. Books you don’t download, cannot be added to an internal library. It works fine if you are downloading books within the app but that comes with its own challenges. Many of the menu items are just broke. I synced my OneDrive with the app, doesn’t work. Try to navigate to the Internet Archive, you know, the largest file depository on the internet, “HTTP error”; Gutenberg Project “Http Error”… etc. a lot of functions in the menu end that way, just broke. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work! *2021-07-10, version 5.1.61* Is this a scam? I can’t access any of my mobi files in my phone. There’s simply no way to do that from within the app. ### 1/5 — Crashes on launch *2021-03-15, version 5.1.61* Crashes on launch ### 1/5 — Unusable *2021-03-09, version 5.1.61* Keeps crashing on start up. Tried to restart iPad and no help. Can’t seem to fix it ### 1/5 — App crashes on iOS 14.2 *2020-11-25, version 5.1.61* Used this app for a couple months with few complaints, but now it won’t open at all since iOS update. Given Totalreader hasn’t been updated in 3 years, I’m not holding my breath for a fix. ### 1/5 — No Family Sharing *2020-11-07, version 5.1.61* Family sharing is supposed to be allowed for this app. It is not. You are expected to pay $9.99 for each and every device you want to use it on. Terrible. ### 1/5 — Bugs! *2020-10-31, version 5.1.61* Purchased Pro version and will not share with my other iPad. Can not open Google Drive, which as main reason I purchased. Tried twice in multiple ways (iPad, internet, calling) to contact and was ignored. Do these people even exist? Waste of money! ### 1/5 — Garbage *2020-10-02, version 5.1.61* I downloaded app to read an epub book and it did not render well at all. Worst of all, there were annoying adds constantly appearing and distracting. At times the add would take over with a message indicating that I had the trial version. I will uninstall immediately. Zero stars would be appropriate. ### 1/5 — Worst app - deducted money twice for same app *2020-09-13* Shared and opened books from other app open in some temp folder. It cannot be brought into a permanent folder. Also, when book is selected and you hold it, action menu pops up from down.... you cannot close that. It will hang. You will have to close the application. Annoying and disgusting. Never able to organize the books into folders. Don’t buy it. ### 3/5 — Good to read, impossible to delete *2020-09-08, version 5.1.61* If you downloaded a book, you stank with it forever. It's a good reader but the absence of such a trivial feature is annoying ### 2/5 — Buggy, seems abandoned *2020-09-06, version 5.1.61* I’ve found so many bugs. Most of the libraries fail for various reasons. OneDrive says it links but then won’t open — no longer supported? Even the menu option to list other apps for the developer fails. Last update 3 years ago. PocketBook seems nice, no fails so far, doesn’t have the unnecessary features. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-08-26, version 5.1.61* I bought the 6.99 pro version so I could edit and organize the files... it won’t even let me rename them which I paid for.... it doesn’t even allow me the option. I would rate 0 stars if I could ### 1/5 — Misleading and terrible *2020-08-26* No warnings whatsoever that it's a trial version and you can't even import your files to it. ### 2/5 — OneDrive, Google not accessible *2020-07-26, version 5.1.61* When I tried to access Google drive, Google gives an error “app not verified”; When I tried to access OneDrive, MS gives an error “obsolete API”. ### 1/5 — Way too many ads *2020-06-29, version 5.1.61* I used this one for a long time until the ads drove me crazy! I switched to another free one. Good riddance! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-08-09, version 5.1.61* Exactly the same as another reader in the App Store called MOBI reader. I mean like carbon copy. Both an awful. ### 1/5 — Abandoned *2025-03-08* This reader stopped being supported years ago ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-12-04, version 5.1.61* Keeps restricting me from reading, to much adds ### 1/5 — Does not work anymore *2023-11-02, version 5.1.61* Keeps on kicking me out. Please help me. ### 1/5 — can’t access OneDrive *2023-05-08, version 5.1.61* App hasn’t been updated for quite a while and can no longer access OneDrive as the API it uses is no longer supported by Microsoft. ### 1/5 — Useless clone of Djvu reader *2023-04-14, version 5.1.61* Exact UI, equally useless. You won't be able to read your local djvu files. Makes you suspect if this not a malware app... ### 1/5 — Bitte updaten *2022-09-03* Google hat sein Datenschutz geändert, seither lässt sich der sonst super funktionierende Reader nicht mehr mit Google Drive synchronisieren. Bitte beheben ### 1/5 — Error machine *2022-07-31* It always show error. This app has no function. It is just a app for showing error: page Loading failed. ### 1/5 — App stürzt ab. Unbrauchbar *2022-06-01* Bei Zugriff auf mein NAS stürtzt die App kommentarlos ab. Leider unbrauchbar. ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work *2021-11-09* You can not open the downloaded djvu file with this reader ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best eBook Reader *2022-12-15, version 5.1.61* I have tried and tested many readers - this one is the best by a big margin. Beautiful interface and so user friendly. Thanks to the developers. Brenton ### 5/5 — 程序闪退了 *2021-04-02* 这个程序用了好久了，非常好，最近升级系统后，程序闪退怎么办呀 ### 5/5 — 为什么选择中文之后还是显示英文呢？ *2020-09-26* 为什么选择中文之后还是显示英文呢？ ### 5/5 — Excellent app, gets the job done *2020-01-22, version 5.1.61* Terrific app, reads every ebook Ive added to it. ### 5/5 — Super Dokumenten Reader *2020-01-15* Endlich mal ein Reader, der es auch schafft Dokumente wie Comics lokal auf dem IOS Gerät zu speichern. Liest viele Dokumenten-Formate ### 5/5 — Great app. *2019-12-31* A versatile ebook reader! ### 5/5 — Has every feature *2019-12-27, version 5.1.61* This app has a wonderfully simple interface, which makes it easy to hunt through books for the information you need. Yes, it is also good for fiction, but it is a standout for reference texts. ### 5/5 — Excelente aplicativo *2019-11-26* Muito fácil de usar e possui vários recursos. ### 5/5 — Super *2019-11-01* Très bonne app ### 5/5 — Great document viewer on iOS *2019-10-30, version 5.1.61* Great document viewer on iOS --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
