uBooks: app for reading books in fb2, epub and other popular ebook formats App Reviews

46 add

I was excited about this app but it keep crashing! Wont start with the ios4 or whatever!

Better

This version is much better than previous one. Less count of critical bugs. Scrolling the text became much better. Application works faster. Its good. A lot of work have been done. But its not the end. Good luck, developers

Awful

It doesnt work on my Ipad. I cant get any books into this library to even try it. The uBooks xl version is no different. I had high hopes for this software. It needs a lot of work. Bypass this one for now. It needs better documentation and should automatically detect what books are available. It would be nice if it could read PDFs.

Total crap

First of all, this app is a piece of crap. Second of all, this app is a piece of crap. It crashes non-stop. And the few rare times it doesnt, it will freeze up and crash within 30 seconds of use. These guys seriously think I will get the paid version? HAAAHAHAH NOT! I should take them to court for emotional distress while using this. Dont bother with this app. UPDATE The app will not crash unless you have wireless/3G connection enabled. Apparently when a connection to the internet is available, the app tries to load ads and epicly fails thus crashing. So download your books and disable Internet connectivity, this should prevent crashes. Still one star though.

Hangs & doesnt read fb2

Hangs while doing "back" in browsing - stop reacting on buttons. Doesnt understand a modern fb2 from web. Doesnt register as fb2 file reader and another applications like FileApp doesnt know that it is possible to transfer file.fb2 to uBooks.

Update the app

Ok here are the features i want for the updates: 1st, you guys need to work way harder on this app, making it read popular ebook file formats: epub (of course), prc & mobi (No DRM is ok), pdf, html, chm, zip & rar, lit, ... and way many more... 2nd, change the way we browse books, simply make the bookshelf really the bookshelf, let us the users browse our own books in series, collections, categories... Browsing in All, Name Author or Genre is not enough. 3rd, please support large file size!!! 4th, make new animations, i want to see it turning my pages like reading a real book. Im looking forward to the new update with full features i need. That would make it the ultimate ereader. I cant wait!

why low rating?

have no idea why the rating is so low. Its a good app, I believe.

Autoscroll, FINALLY!!

I used this app with windows mobile and am very glad to see it available for iphone. It is the only ereader app with smooth scrolling since Iflow closed up shop. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the scrolling is a little jerky, but still the best Ive tried. Id also like to see a way to sync between all my idevices. What does the paid version offer? UPDATE: The scrolling is smooth! My bad on having low memory when I tried it. Now, if it could sync between my ipad, ipod, and iphone, it would be absolutely perfect!!

Trying out uBooks

Im a displaced Stanza user, looking for an alternative. I like a lot of features of uBooks - its easy to get my epub books into it and the customization options are nice. However, one option missing seems like a no-brainer to me. I *hate* justified text and you cant turn it off! Yuck.

Good view options!

Looks great and has a lot of tweaks to make things look the way you want and has day/night options. Could use some additional format support for PDF. With Stanza dead this was the closest replacement I have found. I used this back in the win mobile 5/6 days so looks like they have some staying power.

Very good!

I like this app very much - its simple, handy and usefull for me. It has very good interface customizing. Expecting of new features and book fomats in next versions.

Best reader(using iphone4 ios 5.01)

Works like a charm, very useful - many options. Never crashed for 20 days using period. Best iphone reader! Period. Need support for pdf.

Not good

Dont support djvu. For another formats i have iBooks

Latest version broke

I just updated, and now i cant read any of my books. Shows cover or blank screen, no text, no pages

Dead

What did you do to a good App?! Updated and it is dead, cannot read any of my books, library is useless now!

Doesnt work anymore

It always asks you to purchase the full version every time you open it. Changing the night mode setting causes the app to crash. You cant change the background color anymore. It doesnt save settings. This was a great app that is now terrible.

Try to reinstall

Cant read any book after update. Upd. Reinstall solve this problem.

Now it works well

The app is working correctly.

New theme :)

The new theme is really great.

Thanks, very pretty

Thanks to Creators. I want one wish: please make manual categories, not only "All books, Names Autors" IF two people read from one ipad this not useful, if each people have itself categories it great :)
