Five kinds of reader, one app.

Each review is labelled with the kind of reader who wrote it.

Perfect for research and annotating papers

“Use it daily for reading academic papers. The annotation tools work well and syncing notes is straightforward. Replaced a paid app I was using before.”

Marta KowalskiMarta KowalskiWarsaw, Poland

Works great on low-end Android devices

“Most PDF apps are heavy and crash on my older phone. This one is lightweight and fast. Never had a crash even with large files. Exactly what I needed.”

Bernard OseiBernard OseiKumasi, Ghana

EPUB support is excellent

“I read a lot of Korean-language ebooks in EPUB format and this reader handles them perfectly including right-to-left text and embedded fonts. Very impressed.”
