### 4/5 — 不错的简节阅读应用

*2024-03-08*

应用挺简单的，没有什么太多的功能。为一次付款可同时使用移动和桌面版点赞。小惊喜是可支持朗读，但是不完美，希望增加微软的Azure语音朗读引擎功能。

**Developer response:** 感谢支持！正在研究微软的引擎，敬请关注。

### 1/5 — Not usable

*2023-04-28*

I should have paid attention to all the negative reviews. Will uninstall.

### 5/5 — 杀后台好像比之前严重了

*2022-10-18, version 2.10.3*

杀后台好像比之前严重了

### 1/5 — worthless

*2022-04-28, version 2.9.3*

unable to use.

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2022-02-08, version 2.9.3*

This crummy app was unnavigable. It would not accept the azw or azw3 files that it advertised. In fact, based on the inpenerable layout, I doubt that it would accept any file at all. A dud is a dud, no matter how much it costs.

### 5/5 — Big Files

*2021-04-11, version 1.9.7*

Can handle opening a very large file and searching words/phrases without taking a million years to load like other apps

### 5/5 — Clean and easy!

*2021-01-08, version 1.9.5*

Very basic, clean interface. Just opens and allows you to read EPUB, MOBI, AZW, and PDFs. I'm glad to have found one app to open all!
