Recent update broke sharesheet functions

By svkiphone (Pcmac user)

The problem is not with sharing from other apps to the app. The problem occurs when I try to share a book from inside of the app to other apps like Files or iBooks or Send to Kindle. If you swipe left on a downloaded book inside the app app and try to use the sharesheet for sending the book to Files or Kindle or iBooks it doesn’t work. Update Answer: No it doesn’t work. After clicking more, try tapping one of these- Files, Send to Kindle or iBooks. Nothing happens. It used to work fine before the recent update. I like this app. The most recent update broke the sharesheet functionality. To reproduce, swipe left on the list of downloaded books, tap share button, tap open in, try to use files, kindle or iBooks. Nothing works. Please fix this. I am on iPhone 6.
Was great, but now isn’t working

By alnicat347 (Pcmac user)

I used to love reading my books off of this app, which was a lot because I’m an absolute book nerd. However, I noticed that after a recent update that it doesn’t open up my ebooks properly anymore. I was in the middle of an ebook, but after the update it fails to load. Instead it just shows a white screen with a little green book that just keeps turning pages over and over again. I’ve waited for long periods of time while on that screen to see if there was just difficulty loading the ebook, but that isn’t the case. Please please please tell me how to fix this if it’s a problem on my end!!! I’ve used this app for ages on all sorts of devices and I’ve never had a problem with it before now.
It had promise...

By Julo Satran (Pcmac user)

I was initially impressed by the application - mainly due to the UI - my initial review is attached. Unfortunately it is getting worse - some books take ages to display if at all. OPDS is not working - and I gave their support access to my calibre server to test but never heard them (but other readers work with it and so does a browser). It slowly gets unusable. ———————- original review But I The name is nostalgic reminder of popular reader more than 15 years ago. The UI is innovative and good. The layout of the books is very good. I would recomment adding a sellection of fonts. So far I did play only with epub books but I plan to check some more. The Library support appears to be multilingual but I could not find a language selector. Also I could not access my home OPDS server (that I can access in Kybook).
Simple and excellent

By ftgfdcbhj (Pcmac user)

I have used many epub readers. They are either far too complex and convoluted (MoonReader), or lacking essential tools such as highlighting or bookmarking. this app has all the essential features but not so many as to be confusing and make it difficult to use. It is the only epub reader I have felt deserving of use. Biggest problem: I can find no way to easily locate a set bookmark if losing track of where it is. Flipping through Page after page trying to find a lost bookmark is not time conservative or user friendly. Would like to see this fixed... or a more obvious way to do so if such feature already exists.
