Universal Book Reader

I can live with the adds coz I understand I'm using a free app however bookmarks don't work so you either have to remember the page number you last read or read over parts of the book again. And you can forget reading multiple books at a time! If the makers fix this bug I'm more than happy to give it a 4 star rating.

I have tried many eReader applications both for my PC and my Android phone. Universal is one of the best ones that I have come across. It has many components that are needed for both reading and organizing your eBooks. My Kindle Fire has more Ad pop-ups than this application exibits. The fact that you can upload/import, read, and organize your ebooks with such ease makes it stress free. The only downside I have about this application is that I can't download and use it on my Kindle Fire for my epub books.

I think the application is terrific. I even went and purchased the premium edition because I thought it deserved the small investment. I'm only rating it four stars and not five because - from my experience - Google Books has screwed this application. I purchased a book from Google Books, had to go through the whole issue of going to an Adobe program to be able to download the book to epub Now... when I go to use the book, it says "No internet connection". Funny that it loaded all the free Google Books... just not the one I purchased. I don't think this is a reflection on UB Reader but until someone can explain why, my rating stays at four and not five. Seriously I am considering dumping this and going to Adobe but I like this app... its is really good

Very little ads, And the ones you get don't interrupt reading,none are unskippable videos. Love this app. I've chewed through over 25,000 pages with this app. If your screen doesn't get dim enough if you are reading before bed, the app has an excellent brightness setting. You have options to change your pages and you can increase or decrease font size. If you pay for the upgrade, you can read mobis and there is an option for the app to read the book for you, it isn't for me, but if you have eye trouble these options are great for not wasting 300 MB on an audio book. Thanks for the wonderful hours reading, and thank you for not riddling your application with ads every 15 pages.

Out of all the eBook readers I've looked at this is the first I found that does a proper job of importing multiple books from multiple directories and sub directories. It is light weight and very quick, even on my Moto E. Controls are straight forward and adequately intuitive. I have just on complaint and that is to do with how it sorts my books. If you choose to sort by author it then sorts that author's books by title. Unfortunately, it insists on sorting by the author's FIRST name rather than their last!

After tapping a reference link in a book, the back button will not take us back to where we're reading, but take us to the bookshelf. It's quite annoying. Brightness control is good but a night reading option would make it even better. Loading a dictionary "in app" when selecting a word would be a great feature. Overall, a great reading experience. Thanks to the developers!

I have many eBook files and I wanted a reader I could read ALL my different eBooks in one place, and import them from my SD card. They have many different file extensions. I like this reader, however, they charge you to convert the books. I am not paying again for a book I already purchased just to be able to read it in this reader. Functionality wise it works good on my epubs and pdfs. Just wish it would open and read all my files without charging me to convert them. :

I have read some 50 odd books in this app and I find it very easy to navigate. One thing if you guys can do is whenever someone opens up in reader than the app should directly take the user to the book s/he is reading currently. For people having more than 100 books in library it is difficult for them to go to the exact book. I love the app and will keep on reading on it. Thanks

I have tried MANY epub readers, but this is the only one I've found that nearly-effortlessly allows me to import from my sd card. You can convert books free online, so no worry about paying to convert to epub or PDF for UB. For all of this available for free, I do not mind the ads; however, do note that quite a few have sound. Make sure your media volume is low, off, or you're somewhere that it doesn't matter if it plays. I've almost awoken my husband returning to the library due to ads.

I'm a daily user of the app and I really like it, but I have a question and a suggestion. The question: I have noticed an ad appear whose content was related to the theme of the book I was reading, is that a coincidence or do you collect and use information from the app that way? The suggestion: it would be really useful if there was a set of available thumbnails we could use directly from the app for common book categories such as politics, economics, science... instead of searching for images ourselves.

I have installed quite a few apps in order to read PDFs and other documents like e Books, but this is hands down the best of them all! I love how useful and easy the app is to use. My only complaint is that the app freezes every now and then when trying to close/open a document. Other than that, it's a fantastic app I highly recommend!!

I like this reader alot . I have been using Moon+ reader for a long time but after a while it got cumbersome as there are no sorting options. UB is a great solution for that. As a person who likes to keep all her books in one place it is very useful. Also, the entire UI is very convenient and appealing.

Great app for reading ebooks. Worked really well on my NextBook Ares 8" tab. Made me want to get back to reading had plenty of Stephen King's and Robin Cook's book on my computer I didn't care to read on there but now I'm reading and enjoying it thanks to this app and my new tablet.

This is a pretty good app, I've been using it for almost a year to read all my epub files. The only thing that sucks is that when you delete books, it only deletes it from your library, instead of from the SD card also. So when you rescan for new books, all the previous books that you deleted will show up in your library again. The only way to permanently delete books is by doing it on you PC, or going through your phone's file explorer, which can be a hassle when you have over 300 books to search through.

This app used to be very good, especially for the wonderful appearance, wide formats admitted, its shelves and the cover-books. I really liked it. Despite of this, UB has turned my S3 into a mess, creating endless folders for each cover... thus, every time I open the 'gallery', there are dozens of folders that contain only cover books and I'd really like to know how to get my poor phone back to normal, even when I like the graphics and the appearance of UB. I hope the update can fix this issue.

My go to app for books, on my phone & tablet. I can read any time, anywhere. I keep my entire library in it. I can read a book, stop, start a different book, & then go back to book one; right where I left off. I can search books by name &/or author. I can show book covers or just book names. I can list books from A-Z, or Z-A. I can also list by most recently added, or the last added. Everything you need in a library. Currently no bugs or problems. Love it the way it is.

Some large books cause a delay when turning pages, this is very annoying. Sometime the app force closes randomly as well. I wish there was an option to delete books from device and not just the reader. Everytime I go to add a new book it re-adds the deleted books. I have to manually delete from files, then open app and click book for it to be deleted. A tick box would be nice.

Others have commented on its strong attributes, and I agree. Try the free version and judge for yourself. The ads contribute a bit for the developer, and they aren't overly overt or offensive. If you like it, buy the full version and know you've properly supported a conscientious developer. Thanks for keeping it classy and professional.

This is my fav app ever, I've read soo much more this year since I have it because I also have a Kindle but I don't bring that one everywhere like my phone. The sepia colored background is awesome! I can read for hours whithout getting tired.

It got a bit buggy on my old phone (one plus one) sometimes would load to a white screen and would have to close it and reopen it, occasional crashes but overall solid. On my new phone (One Plus 3) have had no issues, mostly use it to store concert tickets

It's good but still needs work on pdf files. Takes awhile to load pages and sometimes doesn't work. And I'm not sure if it's the epub books but images come out small and I'm on a nexus 6p which has a good sized screen. Also when adding a large amount of books it crashes

Still the best epub reader on android but I have taken a star away because they still keep asking me to rate so I have... hope you're happy with the reduction ... UPDATE.. newest update caused app to crash and lose all books and bookmarks so I have had to download an older version from the Internet and block updates in future. . Reduced rating by another star

I'm sick of the "Freemium" game and am just going to stick to being relentless to anyone who employs it. Mostly because I can't objectively judge an app that's dragging down my device with ads. As is, the app is garbage and a ripoff of Apple's bookshelf. The paid version might be excellent.....I honestly don't know. I uninstalled the "free" version.

After first time opening all icons of ebook (including pdf) files visible in image gallery. And I don't have option to hide it pls solve my issue. I'm using premium edition

Lame App! Xodo is free & way better if you have ".pdf" book files to read. This App has too many ads, can't edit/dim the pdf book pages for a better view/eyesight, always trying to sell you their junk, pages aren't able to be edited [color, shade, spieva]. Get Xodo.

The app hangs a lot.. Have deleted and re installed the apps numerous times.. Initially the app works fine,the pages turn fast and smooth,later on it takes at least a few seconds to turn it..so not very happy with it but still its better than other e reading apps.

An awesome App for reading books. Makes it feel like we are reading in a real one except for one thing. There are way too many ads every time we open or close the book in the app. It should have lesser ads and a slower page turn effect which would make it more likely as a book and give the user more interested in the book.

I have used moon reader along with other readers, this one one kills them all. I am truly satisfied. Wouldn't use anything else. It's totally awesome! It can't be beat!

It is a good app. I find the slider is not always accurate right away going through my code book. The TOC is too expanded for my use. It seems more like the appendix. I would like a list of the main sections to scroll through before getting into the subsections and then the rules. For the most part it navigates the CEC well.

I was finally able to read my books from my SD card. You just open this app, then select the side bar and go through the steps to import books. Really easy compared to other apps. You can change font, page color, bookmark pages. Genuinely nice app. The ads are annoying, the video ones, so just turn the sound down but overall you don't get them whilst you're reading, only when you go in and out of a book.

This app is brilliant. I've used it on 4 phones now and still haven't found one better, but it would be vastly improved if you put the last file read at the top of the library, as its a hassle to find a specific title when you have over 800 books

I wish it would have an option to sort by the authors LAST name. Instead its the first name, and so everything is all over the place. I will totally give it 5 stars and a great review once this actually happens... if it does. I hope so, because it is a solid ebook reader, and the only one I use. I'll be waiting!

This is one of the better readers out there. Developers, please add a function to rename bookmarks it only shows the first few words from the top of the bookmarked page. It can get confusing if you have more than two bookmarks, which one has the info your seeking. Thanks, great app :)

Very freindly and customizable, allows u to see things just the way that feels right to u. Will be a great app if you can: 1) better you region selectionnl feature - it is a frustration to use. 2) Its important to be able to highlight notes in different preferred colours not just 1 ... 3) no dictionary guys?

Easy to use app that allows me to read books on my phone...what more could a girl ask for? The interface is streamlined and incredibly easy to use. Plus, it's free! As an added bonus, it's installed with a free copy of " Alice in Wonderland ". Neat, right? So check out this app, and have fun getting lost in all your favorite stories :D

I bought the 5$ premium license a while back. Today I got a pop-up saying I didn't have access to some feature. I bought the app, so why is this locked? Looked on the marketplace and there is another 5$ license showing with a different title...

App is great but highlight option cannot be used in pdf files. If you clear cache, book cover that you've saved for particular book also gets cleared due to which it becomes difficult to identify document/book in a bookshelf. Please do anything or provide any solution for it.

The best reader app out there! Can you please try and add .mobi support, I've tried using other readers which have it but I just can't stand them, always having to convert from mobi to .epub is a hassle and doesn't always work

This is the best one that I've found for my Android. It does everything I need it to do and I've had an outstanding experience with it so far.

I have loved this app. I even bought the paid version. However when I tried to open a book in mobi format I was promted to buy conversions to open it. I paid for the the conversion and it just says concersion failed. Any chance on a refund for the conversion service that has not been usable?
