Constantly crushes

I just got a book loan for two weeks and for some stupid idea decided to upgrade your software. Now I simply cannot read the book which loan expires in two weeks. Every time I try to launch it, the application crushes. Thank you very much for these guys, and please repair it very quickly. Second, the interface for selecting something and highlighting the text is extremely awkward and irresponsive. Moreover, every time I do seem to be able to almost succeed in selecting something the application simply crashes.

Good App

The app does everything I wanted it to do.

Great

One of my favourite reading apps. Love the formatting options in it.

Horrible

Freezing app on iPhone or iPad. Sometime pages do not load even if you reboot the app. Page switching have a random sensitivity. Highliting is really inaccurate. Lapplication plante que ce soit sur iPad ou iPhone. Les pages gels ou ne charge pas. Le changement de pages a une sensibilité aléatoire. Et le surligneur est vraiment mais vraiment imprécis.

Great Reader

A sure-fire app. One of the best reader apps available. It does everything it claims. My only wish is for a way to mark books as read.

Poor reader

I have Toronto Notes. It takes a moment to find a topic. No friendly, very tiny fonts that can be enhanced but playing around such a JPEG file. No word definition (dictionary).

Works great

Just finished reading my first novel and experienced no issues with this app.

Good replacement for Stanza

I would give this app 5 stars if orientation lock would STAY locked instead of having to be re-set every time I use the app. Its a small thing but it is annoying as heck and the reason I still long for stanza even though this app is almost as good.

Useful App!

I use this to replace the Overdrive app that stopped working for my library books. Its a bit of a convoluted procedure to get my borrowed books into Bluefire, but once there, the app is a breeze to use. Good job, folks.

Orientation lock removed?

Used this app for years, now the "Orientation Lock" setting is gone? Every time the phone accidentally goes portrait, it freezes for 20 seconds on a big book, then 20s to go back. Its always been annoying that this setting reset every time the app reloaded, but now its just gone? Searching for a new ebook app now.

Great but with two issues.

I once had Stanza. That was the perfect reader app. Bluereader is the second closest Ive found. I love it, but I find it very annoying that I have to turn on orientation lock every time it resets. Oh wait. I just updated. Why the hell is orientation lock gone? That is ten times worse. Having an independent lock was very handy even with the annoyance. The second thing is the time disappears, it would be a nice feature to have it always displayed. Taking a star off for the now missing orientation lock. Very disappointed.

Easy to work with

I use it with my IPAd and itbis working well.

En français

Why isnt translated in French?

Could use a page orientation lock

Previous version had a lock, but you had to reset it every time you opened the App. Latest version removed the orientation lock. Why??? So frustrating!! Downloaded this when my Kobo App started freezing and crashing on me. App is not bad. You need to have an Adobe Digital Editions account to authorize Kobo bought ePubs, which is a bit of a pain - but an issue with the DRM on the Kobo books, not really this reader. I like the page layout better than Kobo - truer to the original but still easy to read on a small screen. I would love to see a screenlock feature though - my arm is cramping from having to hold the iPod at the same angle all the time!!

Ive been using this for years

Best ePub reader on the App Store. Simple, functional, with just enough in the way of settings. Then it gets out of your way. Full marks.

Orientation lock

Bring back orientation lock and lose the useless features like color themes?!?!

Scrolling would be great!

How can I scroll a book, without "slide" or something? I miss that function.

Great ebook reader

Fast, free, with lots of customizable reading options.

Could be great, but theres bugs!

This could be the greatest reader if it wouldnt be some bugs to correct. First, it as some problems with PDF files. I got files who where reading perfectly even on iBooks, but not on BlueFire Reader (BFR). Secondly, there is issue with libraries. You add a book to a library you created and sometimes, when you get back to the app, these books are no longer in these libraries you created. You have to find them back in the whole library. Third, when I modify properties or name of a file, when I get back to the app, the file get is hold name back again. These things are annoying and it would be great to correct them to make this app a 5 stars one! Thank you.

PDF

This is good PDF Reader, but fail for dont have Highlights & Annotation. Please, fixed it !!!!, and improve in many different Highlight colours!
