The update to the new version could have been handle better. Importing the old library was pretty slow. Once done the app feels pretty snappy though. My main problem now is that it doesn't remember I set the theme to dark if I also use a custom font. It resets on the next restart. (I use dark red letters on black, for reading at night And If it's not in dark mode then I get white bars above and below my page, kinda defeating the whole idea of a low light, no blue light font.)

Hello, you can either force the dark mode or the light mode or let it adapt to your system settings (this is the first option you see in the app). If it still does not work, please email us at [email protected] so we can look into this. Thank you.

It's a fairly good one, not many features or functions but definitely serves the purpose. It can read some crazy book format which is how my local e-library lends books. So, all in all exceptionally functional. I am giving it a 4 because the text highlighter is glitchy, it doesn't work more often than it does.

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.
