Ratings and reviews

Everything is perfect, except the fact that there is some irregular spacing between certain words. Dunno why. But everything else is great! Proper connection with phone and not much of freezing. Lovin it! Also way better than Watchnote. Keep working on this!

I’ve looked high and low, and found a bundle of apps that could do nothing close to what this app does. If it wasn’t stability problems, it was inability to read the amount of text I was working with. My frustration ended with preader. This is a dream come true for me. At the press of a button my book is displayed at the page I left it on. Moments that were previously empty can be used for catching the next part of a rather long story. I love this so much. Thank you to the devs, please keep doing what you do. If it were possible to have extra colours for text and background I would love that too!!

This is almost the last reader that still works on Pebble. I'm on Android 12. Hopefully it keeps on working as long as there are Pebbles still working out there.
