Bluefire Reader 应用的评论

Just the best. Nothing better.

Best reader app for epub2. But needs find in book search function for new epub3 books.

I purchased this for the purpose of replacing Adobe Digital Editions. It will not sign in to my Adobe account for me to read my DRM protected materials. $5 down the drain.

This is a free app that allows me to read pdf files in a book form, it’s easy to use, easy to search terms in a file/book, easy to organize and now I can change the colors and layouts to make it even easier to read articles and books

This is by far the best reading app! I’ve been using it for years and I love it!

No update for more than a year and no developer response to repeated crash reports. Too bad as there are no alternatives for those of us who need to read protected PDFs on an iPad. Shameful Apple has never provided a service, and a bummer that the only dev to make one has moved on to other things.

I used to enjoy using this app but it’s recently got a lot of bugs. If I'm reading and close the app without a hard shutdown it will freeze and books won’t open. Other times this happens when I open the app after a hard restart of the app and no books will open. Sometimes it will lose my page and I have to bookmark often to get back to where I was reading. It’s frustrating and makes the app unusable.

The text color controls don’t work on iOS 16. No matter what you do, the text is always black, which makes dark mode impossible. Since I’m normally reading in bed at night, I can’t tolerate staring into a white screen with black text. Fix that and I’ll add another star. Then allow me to override idiotic authors who insist on full-justifying text (and ignoring the app preference) and it’ll be five stars!

I liked using this app to organize and read pdfs and e-books. Yesterday it started to crash while i was using it to read and today, it crashes as soon as i open it. This is a frustrating disappointment.

I love this app. For epubs and pdfs you cannot go wrong. The organization parts of this app are my favorite. I have hundreds of ebooks organized in here. The only issue I have had with it so far is when I have a page with highlights open and turn off the screen the highlights don’t show when turning the screen back on. They are still there and will appear again once closing the app and opening it again. Very minor bug.

Often when I return to the app or leave the book and return to the book in the app, the page count is off. And sometimes the book is not loading properly and the only way to recover is to restart the app and seek back to the page I was on.

The more you ask, the less I want to. Needy really isn’t a good look for you.

If this app wasn’t the only way for me to read my textbook I would have deleted it months ago. It doesn’t save my place, it completely freezes up when I try to highlight and take notes, and the table of contents is virtually useless. Do better.

please update

Missing some modern features, but if all you want is a good basic ereader then this is it.

This app is better than Adobe Digital Editions, but it still doesn’t work that well with every import. I just bought a book from the Dutch online store bol.com and I can’t press on one word to select it. It selects the whole sentence and when I try to adjust the selection to just that word, it behaves erratically, selecting the whole paragraph or some other amount of text. This makes it impossible to select a word to look up in the dictionary and also to highlight text. The sample book that was in the app library when I downloaded it (Treasure Island) doesn’t have this problem, so maybe it’s not the app, but as a user this was my experience and it has never happened with Apple Books. I wish e-books were more portable.

Hi. Love Bluefire. The ease of searching is fantastic.

I purchased Bluefire because the books I borrowed from IA were unreadable in the “Adobe Digital Editions” app. I’ve only had the app a few minutes, but I was impressed with my first downloaded book, which effortlessly opened in Bluefire and is perfectly legible.

I had gotten the Windows app and it works well. I then wanted the iPad app so I can pick up where I left off on the iPad. I thought this was a given, only to find you can’t sync books you have with both devices using my Adobe ID to log in. I thought it was a given. I am asking for a refund.

A cautionary tale... RC is Santa’s little brother and has a crazy theory that sometimes it’s better to take things away from people than to give them things. This made him the laughing stock of the North Pole and led to a big argument with Santa. Now RC wears green and lives at the South Pole. He contends his theory still has merit. Can an elf and a human sister help prove it? An elf named Marmel is the head of the labeling department at the North Pole. His job to make sure that all humans get sorted onto either the “Naughty” or “Nice” list. But this Christmas, it seems that this no one has been listed on the naughty list. This has never happened before during Marmel’s 107 years in the labeling department. It’s due to North Pole Santa’s new rule. This makes Marmel suspicious, so he decides to dig into the records, and the Krumwerth family catches his eye. He deems them to be “certifiably hopeless” and definitely, undoubtedly Naughty! Well the fact is, they’ve been on the Naughty List for two years running, so he must officially inform them that a third time will put them on the Permanent Naughty List. Muriel makes his appearance to Amanda Krumwerth to deliver the warning. Shocked to be talking to an elf, she nevertheless takes Mermel’s warning to heart. She begins the struggle to get her family members back into the Christmas spirit. As you read, I think you’ll notice some parallels with Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Author, Canfield puts these age-old themes into a thoroughly modern setting. For example none of the family.’s devices are functioning any everyone is totatally dependent on being online. Now they are hard up to find something to do. I found the book to be a bit wordy and preachy, but think there is a large audience who will find the book redeeming with a happy ending. Maybe even take to heart to put down the devices and focus on others.

Finally I can easily read acsm books from the library on my iPhone. Just download the file to your downloads folder in files and you can open the file in this app and begin reading your book. It has basic dictionary lookup and bookmarks, which is all I need. No more struggling with Adobe Digital Edition, one of the worst pieces of software from a major company. Bluefire is well worth the $5 if you want to tap into your library’s digital resources! I also like the banner on the thumbnail telling me how many more days the book is checked out to me. Thank you developers!

I just realized I’ve been using this app for five years and it hasn’t given me one bit of trouble. That should be celebrated. It’s a good treatment for the Adobe-DRM disease.

I cannot lock in a larger font. I cannot easily go to a certain page or link directly to a page

I tried using the app a year or so ago and it was painful. It just wasn’t user friendly. I gave it another shot recently and I’m quite impressed. I really appreciate being able use the “Speak” functionality. Looking forward to more enhancements.

This is probably the best flow and rendering of ePub documents I’ve seen. It displays clear, high quality text that is a pleasure to read. It’s library capabilities and replication via third party file engines, cloud or private is up dependable and convoluted. I use OneDrive and File Manager, and one would think that adding documents or folders should be easy. But it isn’t, adding items is an onerous task and does not add them to the library. The collections in the library cannot be organized by the document folder structure, but all appear to be dumped in one huge pot. Each individual document then must be manually moved to a collection manually. Collections are at one level only, so there is no hierarchy for Collection organization. I can also not see if a document in the library is copied in the apps’ storage or if it is simply a link to the original location. Obviously no internal document / file management exists. Perhaps I’m incorrect, in which case I would love to correct my initial impressions. Certainly for a product associated with Adobe, it is a huge disappointment.

I have been using this app for about ten years and love it. It is easy to configure and I use it exclusively for ePub books.

I like the new app but it is annoying to get back to the book I am currently reading after the app closes. When reopening the app I have to navigate to my book every time, which is painful given that I have a ~1000 books loaded. Could this be added back? Also the info feature is promising but it would be great if the summary meta data could be displayed along with series meta data. Thank you for a great app though. Keep up the good work. Edit: thanks for adding the currently reading feature back.

Recent updates have greatly enhanced bookmarking, note-taking, & file management. Please keep reader experience in mind going forward.

I used to love this app, but the recent update is terrible for accessibility. I can’t change the text size for most documents, which makes me unable to read them. I’m really sad that an update that was supposed to increase access actually barred me from being able to use the app like I used to. This was the best PDF reader and now I have to find a new one.

I’ve been using this app for years. It’s usually good, although it sometimes struggles with loading graphic novels. In a recent update the “search within book” function disappeared. Is it coming back or is it still there but no longer with the other tools on the top of the page? Regardless it’s still a good reader for books with DRM.

I purchased a study ebook and my option to use it was Bluefire. I spend more time fighting with the app and getting frustrated than I do studying. Half the time the app comes up blank and I have to close the app and then my page I was on isn’t saved. Also if you swipe two,g the book closes and I have to tap several times to open it again. I have been able to use highlight once. That’s it, once. For studying highlighting is really important. I’m deeply unhappy and not sure if I will have luck passing my exam.

I accidentally updated to the newest version and I hate the way the ebooks are formatted. Very difficult to read. I should have left well enough alone. Now I gave to find something else that had better functionality.

Update: Thank you for giving us the swiping to adjust lighting feature, can’t wait for the turning pages feature. Update: Thank you so much for taking the time to read our feedback and your efforts to make this app better. This was the only reading app that had the ability to adjust lighting by swiping up and down , it was a great feature. Flipping pages feature is also gone, I don’t understand why you would ruin an excellent app by taking away these useful features!!

When I first got this years ago it was wonderful! Now, Somehow every single book I had on here is gone and I have no idea how to even get them back. And they were expensive technical books, just gone.

I’d appreciate it if the table of contents didn’t scroll back up every time I exited out of The table of contents before it used to stay in the same place while I was on that book but now every time I tap on the table of contents resets back to the top of it.

Having problems epub3 and some epub2downloads. Used to love this app and never had any problems. Now Text small and goes from margin to margin. I read books for a living and this is a big issue for me Help.

A recent upgrade brought the UI display in line with Apple’s dark background initiative. Kudos to the developer for this. However, this meant losing color fonts leaving only the harsh black or white font colors (a major over sight by Apple’s UI designers). But Bluefire’s developer performed a quick turnaround, returning color font capability. Awesome! Credit goes to dev for fast turnaround AND for attentive user support. This product is again at the top of the heap for iOS book readers. Excellent user directory utility, excellent user interface capability. Can’t say enough good about this app. Install this first on your iPhone or iPad and save a lot of time looking for the best reader. Five star plus!

There is an issue with sending text to a Notes via share. To recreate first highlight a word or text in an ePub then select share and choose Notes. It just hangs. Bluefire used to allow saving of text in Notes. Please fix.

I get it... the developer states the app had to be rewritten. But in doing so as an overwriting of version 3, verses a companion Version 4, it made my bookmarks on some of my version 3 book worthless. The bookmark/notes are there and highlighted - but reverence page 0. (It’s hit or miss - there doesn’t seem to be a pattern.) That means you can’t click on the bookmark in “bookmarks” and be taken to the page. That’s not my definition of progress. This used to be my go to ebook reader. Now, with no system font, a couple of my books are in a font 1. Absolutely unreadable. I thought I”d just zoom in then. Nope. Unsupported. Surely there were options available without forcing an update on to us. GoodNotes, as an example, maintained two versions and their users could pick which they wanted. I have 0, none, nada, zip new epub books that this new app was created to support. The 673 books - epub mostly with a few pdf’s - did not ask nor need this “upgrade” that lost what I loved about Bluefire Reader. As others have noted, the ability to change brightness, the ease to turn pages.... the features that made Bluefire our beloved program are now a thing of the past. I’ve found a new app and will be slowly making the transition. Goodbye old friend - you were great before your upgrade.

Used to be able to make it darker but now that feature is gone what happened?

I used to be able to swipe up or down to darken or lighten page. Important to me. Gone now. Also dark mode is white text on grayish background instead of rich, easy to read black. Seems to be less adjustable in settings than before. Will probably delete. I should never have updated. Update: just deleted it. So sorry, but have old version on IPad. Will not update. Not usable for me anymore.

It always takes me to the start of the chapter I was in. I have to flip through to find the page I last read. Annoying!

to follow the book.

I got the link from Avid they are saying it is free with Adobe account but it is not free and not allowing you to sign in with adobe account.

This app seems to no longer be supported at all. With the last few ios updates PDF documents hang, seize up, become unresponsive for no obvious reason. Unusable for flipping through multipage doccuments.

I have never been so frustrated using an app. It said to authorize the book by entering AdobeID, which I did enter correctly because I just changed the password few minutes earlier. The app keeps popping up the same window and making me reentering it after I submit. I regret not buying a physical book.

Sometimes, it reverts back to the beginning of the chapter. Make sure you keep track of the page you left off on.

Been using BFR for many years. Great app. It would be nice though to enable an easy synchronization across devices on which it is installed. I have an iPad mini and an iPad Pro, both of which have BFR. But I couldn’t sink my book across both...irritating...Kuna

But once you do its Okay but not as good as using the Amazon Kindle which synchronizes your book between electronic devices. Unfortunately this app does not synchronize (if it does then I don’t know how to properly use the software)e reading between my IPhone and IPad which is somewhat bothersome when changing devices. Nevertheless once you use the software it’s easy to change screen size, spacing and font size and type.
