FBReader: Favorite Book Reader

Anton Minnekhanov

The latest update killed the app. Books do not open now, you have to search for them on your device. In addition, vertical scrolling when reading a book is terribly slow with stutters. Fix it please

Did not even start. Always asked for notification permissions when denied. Even though it claims to work without.

Was a great app. About a month ago, after update, stopped loading a lot of books with an error "Cannot extract the book content" including those, which worked earlier. Had to switch to another app. New updates do not solve the problem.

you have to pay to use Google translate.

Downloaded this looking for a voice reader with high quality voices. Turns out the voice function is completely disabled in the standard version - you cannot even sample the voices to see if they're worth paying for. Absolutely ZERO chance I'd ever pay the $12 for the Premium version without at least sampling the quality. Uninstalling.

After the v3.8.8 update from v3.7.7 my go-to reader app is crashing non-stop on Android 14. Please fix it as soon as possible. UPDATE: v3.8.9 still crashes. Updated without my permission

Still using FBreader, 4 phones past my first use. Now on Pixel 7.

Everything is ok. But. I've ran into a problem. When we highlight a text on Android we can see the features list. One of them is translating. Almost all time we can use the native Google translate. But not using this app. Why should I use the unnoun Dictan? Do you know that no one have a .zd dictionaries in 2k19?

The app is neat and well designed. It is easy to configure and the menu has the right functions. The bookmark/note button is clever; the text selection sliding the page and the cloud library/backup are convenient. It has less but is better than MoonReader. But it doesn't export notes like Lithium, and this is very disappointing.

It's a nice e-reader with a clean interface and some nice features. The library sorts are fairly intuitive, and the app runs quickly. Handy brightness and font adjustments when reading. I'm frustrated by the fact that the library doesn't seem to update or refresh epub metadata. Whatever you have for author or series metadata when you load the app, you're stuck with even if you change the metadata later (for example, if you have authors with some epub files sorted firstname - lastname and some sorted lastname-firstname, it'll stay that way in FB Reader libraries even if you edit the metadata. Also the only dictionary app I can get to work with FB Reader is Dictan, and that isn't the most user-friendly interface.

4.75/5 Wish the file scanning and folder adding were improved slightly (I appreciate the Linux information provided, but the actual adding/scanning of folders doesn't always work well. If they'd go a step further and provide some sort of rudimentary shell access for basic stuff that would be INCREDIBLE. Still the best ebook reader I've used so far. GREAT ZOOM/LIGHTING/4EXT SIZE/ ETC. FEATURES. For the free version it gives important ones: epub, mobi, etc. Pdf might be paywall, don't remember.

It's ok. Certain basic functions are missing and need additional plug ins. What's worse, is it can't keep the right book loaded. Switch away and back and it's changed what book is open so you have to reload what you are reading. There are better options.
