User Reviews

Panels is praised for its clean UI and strong organization, delivering a generally smooth reading experience. However, multiple reviews cite update-related issues: black page loads, crashes, and library/linking problems, along with frustration over monetization and paid features.

Pros

Clean, intuitive UI that aligns with Apple design.
Strong organization/navigation, including grouping issues within a series into folders.
Smooth, reliable reading experience with minimal interruptions.

Cons

Page loading issues: black screen during page transitions and slow loading, especially after updates.
Crashes and instability, including crashes when opening files and after app updates.
Monetization gating: features or UI locked behind a subscription and an in-app store.
Update-induced library issues (re-linking after updates) and related data friction.

Recent reviews

Panels is a great app, but its page turning is low quality and laggy. I do wish more files were compatible and the app took up less space. And it sometimes doesn’t even load in the book….
