I absolutely love this app, and highly recommend it. However, I can only give it 4 stars. It needs the ability to load in colored text, like other readers do. I have a docx that has colored text to separate who's talking, but it only comes up as bold text. Would easily change to 5 stars if this feature is added.

Pretty good, a few complaints but nothing really worth mentioning. Minor annoyances only. I have been using it for about a year now over 3 devices. Decent ui, text to voice is better then most, definitely better than Kindle app., update-- app is still working great but refuses new books. Not sure why, started when the Dec android update came out.

Exactly as described: a lightweight, useful, ad-free app for reading documents of many kinds, including types not read by most programs. The ability to change brightness and switch between dark or light background make it easy to ensure readability in a variety of conditions. I wish I could edit rich text files with it, but that's not the advertised purpose so I can't hold the lack against it. I've downloaded the app on every phone I've had since discovering it, and find it invaluable!
