Simply Brilliant
Plenty of features for the money and simply a very good reader with a nice UI. Dead easy to add files.
Decent. Good price, but very limited
This is an EPUB first app. PDFs are so limited that they have practically 0 features. Not even basic things like text selection or search. I only read books and never annotate so this isn’t a major issue, but to not be able to search words or select text is very limiting. Despite this limited functionality with PDFs I still use it because it’s PDF function is great even with large textbooks on an old device such as mine, while many others lag while pinching an zooming. Sync is only available via iCloud and Dropbox and no other services which I find further limiting. The price is more than fair. My main issue is that it crashes on my iPad every time when I open it as it’s trying to sync. Same goes for my phone so now I am unable to even open the app. Until this major bug is fixed, I have no choice but to go back to Apple Books

The best READER
It has dark mode. Works flawlessly. Would be 5 star if they add the ability to follow links in epub files.
Free reader that works!
Ebook app that supports popular book text format without the price tag for admission. Simple enough to use as it should be. Some may have fancy page turning animation and some cool features but do we really need most of those features?
Love it — Incredible Developer
Still one of the best readers out there, clean, fast, and a pleasure to use daily. I left a review a while back asking for customizable accent colors, and the developer actually added blue and pink options in a recent update. It’s rare to see a developer this responsive, and it makes the app feel truly personal now. Thank you for listening and keep up the great work!

Fantastic
This is the first e-reader app for my iPad that actually formats books correctly. It is such a joy to read with proper margins, indentations, and subheadings. It’s so easy to use, notes and highlighting work perfectly, and there’s no ads. Highly recommend!!
No google drive inte
While purchasing it mentioned google drive but i see only dropbox
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. You can access your books on Google Drive via the Apple Files app integration. Additional information is available in the FAQ: https://www.yomu-reader.com/support/faq/#import-files
Excellent epub reader
The app works well. I have downloaded mange epubs and they flow well in the app. Changing the layout (almost) always works. It spreads across devices seamlessly.
Great!
Excellent little e-book reader. My one wish is that you could save multiple named preference setups (including font theme etc.), instead of just the one default you can write.
Similar how you can do this with the colors.

Checks off what I’m looking for
My phone setting ‘read what’s on screen’ will continue the book until I pause. where other E readers I’d have to initiate it every page. Also I can download/delete books locally. No ads, affordable.
Excellent book reading app with more features than the Apple Books app
Edit: a cool feature idea is when highlighting something is to allow you to delete parts of the highlight. Like when you quote parts of a text and it’s denoted by three dots…then picks up to the relevant spot.
The new annotations widget is great! Exactly what I’ve been after to re-encounter my annotations I’ve made in the past. A suggestion to improve the widgets in a future release. Allow customisation of how much time each quote is present for before changing e.g. 5, 10,15, 60 minutes. That and maybe interactive gesture allowing you to move through multiple annotationsby tapping on the right side to progress through a carousel.

GOOD BUT NOT AS GOOD AS UR MUM
Loses formatting
Sadly this app ignores all original formatting by the book designer, so you see plain-vanilla text, not what was the intended experience. For book lovers, it’s an ugly experience. Deleted it.
.
Yomu Reader is clean and pleasant to use. However, when reading Korean EPUB books, the Korean text only appears in a sans-serif/Gothic style, which feels less natural for long-form reading. Please consider adding Korean serif font support, such as a Korean Myeongjo or Buri-style font. It would make the reading experience much better for Korean users.

Really good, just too annoying
The app TOTALLY works. For sure, I’ve got books in here and I’m reading them!
But sometimes a page renders half off-screen. And sometimes, selecting text causes the page to turn. And the constant notifications asking “Have you enabled the widget?” (no, because I don’t want to) or “Did you know you can add tags?” (no, and I don’t care) are absolutely grating.
I’m so sad no-one writes apps that just leave you alone any more.

Widgets constantly crashing on macOS
After every system reboot as well as randomly, macOS crash catcher reports the widgets for Yomu have crashed. There doesn’t seem to be any user fix or workaround for this frustratingly disruptive issue. Attempts to edit any desktop widgets at all will crash Yomu if it’s running. Makes it rather difficult to evaluate the app on the whole, which is a shame because it looked quite promising.

Love it — one small request
Genuinely one of the best independent readers out there — clean, fast, and a pleasure to use daily. My one wish: let us customize the accent color. The current yellow-green is nice, but being able to match it to my own theme like with the page customizability (or just something easier on the eyes at night) would make the app feel truly personal. Even a small set of preset colors would be amazing. Keep up the great work!

Best I have found
I’ve tried a few book readers for iPad, and this is the best one that I have found
Super decent simple organized e-book reader
Love that I can sync between my laptop and phone. Only issue I have is that I often want to highlight sentences that cross to the next page on my phone and it doesn’t allow me to (or I haven’t figured out how to) That’s a very minor issue though. Love everything else and appreciate it so much I was just in the app and felt so thankful for it I wanted to review it to spread the love ❤️
