    Love this app! It lets me read in every format. The text-to-speech feature is fantastic. Lately, I’ve run into trouble with MOBI files. Whenever I open the contents page, the app freezes. I have to quit the app and start over. Before this problem, it wouldn’t even recognize MOBI files. I had to work hard just to get the file into my reading list.

    This ebook app stands out in a positive way. It offers a read-aloud feature, flexible viewing options, vertical scrolling, and theme customization. These features enhance the reading experience. However, there’s a noticeable downside. The sync function doesn’t always position me exactly where I left off when I switch devices. It syncs based on the percentage of the book read instead of specific markers. This makes it tricky to locate my exact stopping point, often requiring some searching around within that percentage to find my place.

    Finally found it! This reader app is everything I wanted. The design stands out, clean and sleek, fitting perfectly into a professional vibe. It syncs effortlessly across all my Android devices. No need to fuss with moving ebook files around. Browsing through files feels smooth, customizing the formatting is easy, and exporting highlights and notes is a breeze. Sure, a Windows version would be great, but for Android users, this app is simply the best. I've tested so many, and nothing compares!

    This app is fantastic! It outshines many larger free eBook apps. The secret? Zero ads. Not a single ad has interrupted my reading experience, even after hours of use. Now think about it. Media365, a popular e-reader, hijacks your attention with ads on every page unless you pay for the premium membership. But here, no distractions. Just pure reading enjoyment.

    I love how pocketBook lets me organize books into folders. I read almost all the time, and the audio feature makes it easy to enjoy books while walking on busy streets. However, after the latest update, the sentence highlights disappeared when using the audio. This change makes it difficult to follow along while listening. A quick response would be great. On a positive note, I really enjoy the app and have recommended it to many friends. They appreciate it too, especially those who feel they don't have time to read.

    Good reader makes daily reading enjoyable. Sometimes the app reports a crash while still functioning. The synchronization between devices impresses me, especially for a free app. I can link my dictionary app, upload a book on one device, and download it on another effortlessly. Synchronization happens automatically, though it isn’t completely reliable. Creating a cloud account is simple and free, plus there are no ads to interrupt the experience. In the future, having a sync button right on the home screen would make things even easier instead of navigating to the cloud menu.

    This app shines for reading aloud, searching for content, and overall reading experiences. However, it lacks a feature to pause TTS with earphone buttons, unlike TTS Reader. It also struggles to resume previous sessions, which is frustrating. On January 1st, 2023, I noticed it started breaking words at the beginning of sentences, pronouncing the first letter separately from the rest.

    I love that it can play audiobooks. The layout catches my eye. It looks great and feels easy to use. I enjoy accessing my Google Play Books by simply logging in. The way it reflows PDFs is impressive, making them a breeze to read.

    This app truly impresses. It delivers on its promises with great efficiency. The text-to-speech feature stands out, and the variety of skins adds a personal touch. The cloud sync feature shines the brightest. It stores books and highlights on my phone and across devices, creating a smooth experience everywhere I go. However, I have some wishes for improvements. Adding support for Garamond font would be fantastic. An in-app way to access Google Drive and OneDrive accounts would also enhance usability greatly.

    This app is fantastic. It shows the exact number of pages read, which helps when using a smaller screen. It gives a sense of progress similar to reading a physical book. However, there are a few features I would love to see. It would be great to move books around and organize them according to personal preference. Also, the bookmarking needs attention. Whenever I bookmark or leave a page, it resets to several pages back when I reopen the app. This can be quite frustrating.
