I really like this app it's best one I have found, but since a week or so it's been crashing. I can't get out of a document without it shutting down. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled and it's still not working. Very disappointing since I use this app a lot. Can you perhaps fix it, there is a pop up that tells me there is a bug.

This newest upgrade has froze my fbreader. It freezes my new samsung galaxy 25 ultra. Keeps freezing screen and phone then saying fbreader is not working x to close app. It won't load books, nothing. Been 2 days and I cannot access any book. This was my go to, I read everyday on fbreader premium. I paid for upgrade. I used it for years, like 10. Now I have to find another epub reader because they screwed it up with a single upgrade. Good job.

I've been using FBR Premium for years and never had a problem. And would had given 5*. But with the recent update I can't even open the app. It tells me about the changes about file access, I click on OK and it crashes. I'm giving it one * Not because of the app, but the fact that FBR has offered No Fix. And as with most Internet companies you cannot contact them for help. Very disappointed with FBReader as a company.

Was a very good app untill the last update that broke it completely. Planning to uninstall and going back to the free version if the reinstall does not fix the issue. Update: uninstall the reinstall was necessary for the app to work again. Setting it to use multiple folders not intuitive but I can now (at last) look for the book page I was on to contimue.

Used it for years and it was fine, but the new update completely broke it for me. Can't select any folder, it just says "for your privacy, please select another folder", even for newly created folders. Please fix :(

It's my go to ebook reader for it's simplicity and straightforward way of using. But lately, after the last upgrade, it load slowly, crashes frequently, and took its time scanning folder for new ebooks.

Latest update makes it awful. I have paid for every add-on and premium gladly. I stopped trying alternatives in 2019 because fbreader has been everything I wanted for 5+ years, and the best since 2007. Moon reader plus does everything that I need, and I think is a good alternative[2019 review: I constantly try new readers, I constantly come back. This really is my favorite book reader.]

The new update doesn't open the correct book from my Files app - only the most recently opened book. Also didn't work well until I cleared app data & app cache. Android Samsung
