Ratings and reviews

Ads constantly popping up while trying to look at a pdf file became unbearable. Uninstalled before but I took a chance and downloaded again. The ads fill the entire screen now - no way to work around them - completely useless! EDIT Took a chance on the latest update. No change. The app opens to a full-page ad and there's no way to get past it to use the app- useless still

This application is based on an open source app with no ads called EBookDroid. This app reworks the UI a tiny bit. PDF Reader has ads which, when shown, randomly throws my book way ahead to pages I haven't read yet. There is no option to pay for the app to disable the ads, so it's an all-round horrible time-wasting experience. I would never have looked for alternatives if I could simply disable the ads.

I really liked the interface. It was easy to access various files, and most importantly, I was using this app to read pdf books so I really liked the bookshelf design. Moreover, whenever I returned to the same file, I would be brought exactly where I had left off - perfect for someone who is reading a book. But the app kept crashing almost every minute, completely ruining my user experience and making the app unusable despite its thoughtful functions. A genuine pity.
