KNOWN ISSUES ON KIT KAT
=======================
In Kit Kat, due to Google changed the webview engine with Chrome which has many bugs and compatibility issues. Some of features is not working. I'm working to find work around of those issues.
1. Reflow function is broken for some CHM file. So you may need to scroll left/right to view the pages. After latest upgrade 4.4.2, seems Google partially fixed this issue. So some of the file reflow works again, but not all.
2. Set the zoom level function is not working properly, so if you changed the zoom level, when switch to different page, the zoom level will be reset. After 4.4.2 upgrade, seems Google is trying to fix this issue. so now the zoom level is persisted. But I notice a new issue, for certain file, once zoom in, you can't zoom out to original level, the work around, is to "clear history" from scratch.
PERMISSION REQUIRED

FAQs
====
1. Can't see the menu buttons to enable all the functions.
In Android 4.0 and above, the menu button is a list of 3 vertical dots on the right-bottom side of the screen.
2 when clicking link on the content page, It has lag in response in certain devices.
As content page is an HTML page, when you click a link, the browser sometime will treat it as pan event instead of click event if you hold you finger a little bit longer on screen, in that case browser won't open the link. So the solution is make sure to click very briefly, don't touch screen for longer time.

A Lightweight app that serves the purpose. Doesn't occupy much space on the internal storage. Large files are opened in a blink of an eye. Can read files from the SD card. I got what I was looking for.

The old version was better. One could zoom and there was something like a word wrap, which made it easier to use. Now the word wrap is gone...So one has to scroll sideways to read, which affects the flow of reading. Please do rectify this.

This app is excellent. It reads all my chm files flawlessly and can even search for the words within the book (some apps don't even in PDF format). I have tried other where most of them get stuck in between or shows lag in between. This app beats all of them. Well done developer.

Awesome. . The only downside is you always need to open this app and then navigate trough foders in order to select the desired books.. chm docs somehow don't open directly when you click on them. . insteasd pop-out msg appears: unable to find app to perform this action

It is probably the best CHM reader on the play store. It works flawlessly while other so called multi format readers & even specifically .chm readers fail to do so. It is indeed a great app for doctors & other persons looking for a CHM reader.

it is a great chm reader. but it should have capacity to search all chm files in my mobile. also from device storage it can't read directly. always you have to go to app first.

Two requests please. 1. Register an Android intent so that a .chm file can be opened direct from the file manager. 2. Use preferences to remember the last folder that was navigated to (to open a .chm file) and start from that folder the next time you use the app to browse for a .chm file. Thanks.

A really fast and convenient tool. But there is the problem with text scaling - text overflows the right margin of the screen. Please, fix it. Android 6, Lenovo Tb3-850.
