Reading with comfort is a dream of any book lover! It’s more than 10 years already that my i2Reader has been making this dream come true. With each version of the app I add a bunch of new options and always try to keep the pleasure of reading a top priority. When putting books on digital shelves or turning over their 3D pages on any device (Mac, iPhone or iPad), you will always feel “I too Reader”* * - this is not a mistake :) Main features: • iCloud support: your library is synchronized in all your devices. You can start reading a book on iPhone and continue doing it on iPad or Mac! Everything from last the opened page, bookmarksо, highlighters to book metadata, including user's choice of a book cover, titles, genres, keywords, series etc. - is synchronized in each book; • Footnotes are displayed on the bottom of the page – like in real paper books! • Full support of 3D Touch: - in a library: to peek at a book info, press slightly on it; swipe up to bring up a context menu for this book; - when reading, you can assign 3D Touch to one of these options: Wikipedia or dictionaries. Press on a word and the assigned option will run right away, bypassing context menu. • Interactive guide to introduce features of the app; • Support of multitasking Side Over and Split View for iPad Pro, iPad Air or iPad mini; • Support Drag and Drop for iPad under iOS 11; • AutoScrolling – vertical text scrolling with adjustable by horizontal swipe speed; • Auto Turning – automatic page turning according to timer; • download books from Dropbox, Google Drive and Yandex disk as well.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: i2Reader Cloud at 4.1 against A FB2 Reader's 3.4. i2Reader Cloud also leads on ratings volume (74 vs 5). A FB2 Reader's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

i2Reader Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: i2Reader Cloud has 74 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of A FB2 Reader's written reviews are positive against 48% of i2Reader Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

A FB2 Reader ships an update every 2 weeks, i2Reader Cloud every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
