### 5/5 — Наконец-то лучшее приложение для чтения

*2024-10-09*

Я в восторге, давно искала приложение для чтения книг, чтобы текст двигался непрерывно как суфлер, благодарю вас!!!

### 5/5 — Жаль что читалку забросили

*2021-12-15*

Одна из лучших по интерфейсу. Цветовые настройки, тап-зоны, скроллин, свайпинг, шрифты - всё комфортное, плавное, удобное. Проблема в записи книг, видимо поменялась технология передачи книг от приложения к приложению и в читалку приходится закидывать книги через другую читалку ::), но всё равно, очень удобная читалка.

### 1/5 — Невозможно открыть книги!

*2021-10-24*

Не открываются книги из сторонних приложений. В старой программе все ок. АУ, разработчики?

### 1/5 — Если есть старое приложение, то новое не рекомендую

*2021-07-16*

Нет возможности перенести книги из старого приложения.

### 1/5 — Не рекомендую!

Приложение- отстой! При обновлении исчезают все загруженные книги- при каждом!!!  И я за это еще и заплатила... 🤦🏻‍♀️

### 3/5 — Bookmarks

*2021-02-03*

How do I remove bookmarks that were created? I've searched high and low to figure it out but I cannot
Please help

### 1/5 — Обновление

*2020-12-29*

После обновления не могу скачать ни одну книгу(

### 5/5 — Импорт из XL

*2020-12-13*

В uBooks XL теперь постоянное уведомление про обновление.
Уберите!!!
Было хорошее приложение до последнего обновления. 
Авторы не отвечают. Кажется, изменили направление бизнеса. Пора искать другую программу. (

### 5/5 — Отличное приложение

*2020-11-30*

У меня все работает, отличное приложение. Легко перенести всю коллекцию книг нажав + и загрузив чере ftp. Единственное не работает нормально с ftp на Mac os

### 1/5 — Обновите программу!

*2020-11-10*

Я много лет пользовалась этой читалкой и считала ее лучшей. И вот вышла новая версия. Мало того, что встала она параллельно и все книги из старой версии не перенеслись, так сейчас я сообщение могу никак добавить книги.
Ужасное разочарование. Придётся искать какую-то другую программу 👿
