The app has since gotten better; the only issue now is that I can't bulk add/edit/remove category tags or authors on the books I have. Also, there's no option to show untagged books (for easily picking out books that need to have tags added to them). Lastly, the older version used to have an option to automatically delete the epub/pdf you downloaded and keep the one added to the app, so that there wouldn't be duplicate files on your device; please bring that option back

Works very well for me. I just wish cover art wasnt initially stored separately from the ebook file. A lot of my covers were lost during sd to sd tranfer and time consuming to find them EDIT: Downgraded to 1 star. user experience is now very poor and the app no longer brings up all of my downloaded book, even though I have imported all of them. Time for me to find a new reader.

got a couple ebooks for the long periods of downtime at my work, and needed an ebook reader. I tried to go and sign up, as I thought you could pay a fee to get rid of the ads, whixh I'm fine with, instead theres only a subscription that you would have to shell out monthly for. needless to say, disappointed at the manipulative ads and I found a new ebook readet
