User Reviews

FBReader Premium is a feature-rich, versatile e-book reader praised for format support, deep customization, and cross-device functionality. However, recurring reliability problems—freezes, crashes, and sluggish performance—often surface after updates. Cloud-sync and library synchronization can be inconsistent, with some users unable to access all books across devices. UI/library changes and bookmark-related crashes add to frustrations for others. Despite these issues, many long-time users still view it as a preferred, powerful reader, suggesting the app needs continued maintenance and QA improvements to balance features with stability.

Pros

Supports a wide range of formats (EPUB, PDF, MOBI, comics), making it a versatile reader.
Highly customizable interface (fonts, themes, day/night modes) and easy navigation.
Rich feature set (text-to-speech, built-in translation, cloud sync) enabling cross-device reading.
Long-standing reliability and loyalty; widely used and considered a top go-to reader by many users.

Cons

Frequent freezing, crashes, and hangs, including after updates; can render the app unusable.
Updates/regressions that break functionality; users sometimes need to revert to an older version.
Slow page flipping or significant performance lag on some devices.
Cloud sync/library synchronization issues; missing books across devices.
Library UI instability or changes and related issues (margins, bookmarks crashing, etc.).

I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to finding a good reading app. so far, this is the one the checks most of the boxes for me (and believe me, I've tried them all!). I use this on a Boox Palma 2.
