Ratings and reviews

Very useful, no fuss, no ads, does everything I want it to do, which is mostly reading epub files. Enjoying the app immensely, and it doesn't extract unnecessary data from me as a user. It took a second to figure out how to exit a book and go into the app menu (tap the center of the page once). It would also be nice if I could choose what service to define words with (the default is Google search) but it's not often I need to look things up anyway.

Really good. It looks cute and you can even change the color theme of the app, as well as the pages of your ebooks. You can edit the ebook's cover, info, and summary. But I do suggest making bookmarks and notes easier to understand. As well as adding custom color themes. Overall 4.7/5, I just rounded it off. ♡♡♡

I mean I'm not even joking I found this app from a Reddit post the dev made, still the best decision of my book life. Though there is one problem, when I try to search using the military dictionary. it opens in Google but it just says ":define".
