| 2024-11-13 |  | | I used to love it! There was no better app to see all your comics lined up on a shelf. Now after the updates, it crashes before it even loads. I thought it was my tablet that I have used with it for years, so I got a brand new tablet, just for this app and I was EXTREMELY disappointed that it had the same result. I'll have to settle with different readers until (hopefully) this one gets fixed! |
| 2024-11-02 |  | | Best pdf reader I've used. This app makes any pdf to be read as an ebook and has a very nice curling page effect when flipping pages. I love it. I also love how one can add notes to the pages and has a search feature. Thank you for this app. |
| 2024-10-09 |  | | Recently started crashing immediately upon opening. Had to reinstall and lost all my content. Not a happy camper.😡 |
| 2024-09-15 |  | | If ur looking for a much more realistic ebook reader I recommend this one. But the devs should add a sound page flip for realism & search button for finding a specific page to make it simple. Since it focuses on the title of pages It should be either the page number or the title of that specific page. And also the tutorial should be translated into English for more understanding to new users. BUT overall it's a good app It really brings a realistic experience like ur actually reading a book. |
| 2024-09-11 |  | | Let me just say the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because it's missing the only thing im looking for , a simple page flip animation like Kindle. It's an amazing comic book reader other than that and THE ONLY app that can actually frame the entire full page on my Galaxy s24 ultra screen without ruining the image quality. That's why it's my go-to - just wish it had the page turn/page flip animation. I would love to see that implemented. |
| 2024-08-09 |  | | Until the version 2.8.24 it was the perfection. Now it crash regularly. The update is slow. Difficult to manage over 1000 items. Problem solved by update android tablet but still difficult to manage for some Gb of data. |
| 2024-08-05 |  | | SideBooks is a very nice app put it needs a English manual to get the best out of using it. I would recommend this app to people, but they need to be a bit savvy and play around with it to learn how it works. |
| 2024-07-23 |  | | sidebooks is not responding, the message keeps saying I need to wait or close the apps. I use Samsung Galaxy M23 please fix it because I love this apps |
| 2024-06-13 |  | | Constantly crashes when opening certain pdfs, its geting really annoying. And no, thats not only certain ones, its ones from a many different sources. somehow the app just crashed when it tries to properly load the file in its entirety. |
| 2024-04-01 |  | | This has been default book reading app since 2013. Is one of the best e-readers that I found page animation. Also for people who are having trouble comic books archived with zip change the file extension from ".zip" to ".cbz" ("CBZ" which means "Comic Book Zip" and "CBR" which means "Comic Book RAR" files are the most common extension use for comic book scans). The issue of files with ".zip" becoming corrupt happened to me on my old iPhone 5. |
