User Reviews

PocketBook Reader is praised for its polished UI and ease of use, plus strong text/audiobook support and deep customization. The main concerns are stability issues (crashes and freezes), rendering glitches in PDFs/EPUBs, and notable feature gaps (stats, translator, simultaneous audiobook/reading). Overall, it is highly regarded but reliability and feature completeness are the recurring pain points.

Pros

Excellent UI/appearance and an easy-to-use interface that many reviewers praise.
Simplicity and reliability, with a clean reading experience.
Supports both text and audiobook formats, giving versatility for different preferences.
Highly customizable reading experience (highlights, colors, notes, and easy EPUB uploading).
Free to use, with strong overall value.

Cons

Crashes and instability (crashes after iOS updates, constant crashes, and freezes when unlocking the iPad).
Rendering/display bugs across PDFs/EPUBs (PDFs sometimes render in black and white; EPUB rendering can cut off lines with the default renderer).
Missing features and tools (notably stats, a translator, and the ability to play audiobook and read the ebook simultaneously).
Background execution and search limitations (app cannot run in the background; some reviewers report poor search).

Great app!Read my favorite books or listen while I’m working.

PocketBook has completely transformed the way I read. The app is clean, intuitive, and incredibly easy to use. I love that I can organize my library, customize the reading experience with different fonts, themes, and spacing, and pick up right where I left off across my devices. What really stands out is how smoothly everything works. It supports so many file formats, making it easy to keep all of my books in one place instead of juggling multiple apps. Whether I’m reading for a few minutes during a break or getting lost in a novel for hours, PocketBook makes the experience enjoyable and distraction-free. If you’re looking for a reliable, beautifully designed e-reader that puts readers first, this is the app to get. It’s become my favorite reading companion, and I recommend it to anyone who loves books. 📚💚
