Users appreciate ePub Reader for Android for its simple, lightweight, and ad-free design that makes reading easy and efficient with useful features like night mode, bookmarks, and font adjustments. However, multiple users report significant problems with compatibility on newer Android versions (especially Android 11), including inability to access EPUB files and storage issues. Additionally, the app lacks improved sorting options and has some usability issues with bookmarking and page navigation that disrupt the reading experience.
Pros
- Simple and uncomplicated user interface, which users find refreshing compared to complex apps.
- Lightweight app with no ads and minimal bugs, serving its purpose effectively.
- Good night mode feature appreciated by users for comfortable reading.
- Reliable and user-friendly bookmarking and progress saving system, as long as app is exited properly.
- Supports features like font size adjustment, background color changes, and has a contents index for easier navigation.
Cons
- App compatibility issues with newer Android versions (Android 11 and above), causing it to malfunction or not open files.
- Inability to access .EPUB files due to Android storage permission restrictions on newer OS versions.
- Lack of advanced sorting and library management features such as sorting by author and multi-book selection.
- Bookmark function has usability issues, with some users experiencing difficulty in saving reading progress without manually bookmarking every time.
- Pages sometimes fail to turn or scroll properly, leading to interrupted reading experience and occasional blank pages for some files.

| 2024-10-29 |  | | Is there an updated version for newer phones? I really like this one but it us not compatable with my new phone. |
| 2024-08-31 |  | | I love this app so much. It's simple and uncomplicated and that makes it a great app. It's not messy unlike other apps with too many things in the settings and unnecessary info. I just hope we could select multiple books to add to the library to make it easier. |
| 2022-12-02 |  | | Love the app, the layout and everything. But please add an option to keep screen on. Thanks 👍 |
| 2021-08-17 |  | | Sad because once my phone updated to android 11, the app doesn't function. It even has a message that says that this app is for an older os. I really liked this app, but now am sad. |
| 2021-07-01 |  | | Very satisfactory experience. Although I would like it if we can customise the font size even more and a dark mode as well. |
| 2021-03-25 |  | | Can't access any .EPUB files on my new Sony Xperia says Android 11 blocks access to that storage folder. Any fix please? I've enjoyed this easy to use app for years on my old phone until Android 11 update. |
| 2020-11-28 |  | | It has many useful features.I would be happy if you add a function that we could fine adust the text size. |
| 2020-08-20 |  | | bookmark function doesn't work correctly instead of setting a bookmark it has you name a save file like it thinks it's a game instead of a book. typing 01 repeatedly to mimic the functionality of a bookmark gets old quick. then it up and stopped reading files at all, it'll pretend like it loaded and show the cover art and maby a page but everything after that will be blank. tldr: boarderline unusable |
| 2020-08-08 |  | | Good one. Its simple app. Other apps are irritating and complicated. And while reading we need simplicity. |
| 2020-08-05 |  | | Great app..been using for 6 years now. it's a simple app that's why i loved it. But took me some pages to figure out how to save my progress/page, all u have to do is just tap back and exit.. don't close app from recent while ur reading or next time you'll start from page 1 so just get back and close. I thought play store removed this app coz I didn't get any updates..I was just checking and all good..so thought i should drop my review. Oh and night mode is frigging good👍. |
