DjVu Reader App Reviews

Jai modifie ma note de 2 a 4 etoiles, suite a levolution de cette appli. Elle est maintenant tout a fait utilisable, les problemes de vitese de chargement et affichage ont ete resolus. Congratulations for the evolution of this app. Please add a full screen file browser and swipe to turn pages and I will add another star to my evaluation!

It works well and does what it claims to do. I havent yet found how to add a file received by e-mail, but I should admit that I just bought the app a few hours ago…

I use iPad 2, and I cannot connect the program, version 1.3.1, with my drop-box. Namely, when I am in window "documents" and click the symbol of Dropbox, I arrive at menu "DjVu Reader wants access to a folder of your Dropbox". I choose "allow", but nothing happens. When next time I click the symbol of Drop-box, the message is "your dropbox account has been unlinked". Yours, Sergei

(27.09.2015) The App does not work on iPhone 6 Plus. It crashes constantly, and when one moves from one page to another the App takes ages to render the corresponding page (in case it shows something, because most of the time it crashes). I have sent these concerns to the App developer but he hasnt replied anything at all. (15.09.2016) The App has improved the rendering and it does not crashes constantly, even though it still crashes from time to time (for instance when (un)choosing the option "Autoupdate epub library" as one reads a djvu file). However the render of the djvu files is still not suited for a iPhone 6/6s/7 Plus: the new feature of this update is that only a rather small portion of the display shows the selected djvu file, which is impractical and frankly ludicrous. Advice: buy another App.

OCR doesnt freeze the App anymore. All necessary functions are now included.

Update: the OCR problem is fixed! thanks! Old comment: I am happy with this app. it opens books very quick and have all necessary functions. however, there is a small bug: when I tap OCR, it tells me there are no OCR characters. then the app is just "dead", I have to totally reopen again. I hope this can be fixed in next version. by action menu, I hope there can be more actions, like open in another apps, like Devon togo. because normally I just use this to read books, not use it as a data manager. I do not know it is possible or not, I think it would be very nice if I can use it to annotate djvu, like write notes or something. the last thing, I am really looking forwards a new icon. the current one is not so cool. :-)

Now, finally I can read my DjVu-Files on the iPad. The software is fast and easy to use. Its worth the money.

I am using the app since the beginning and it has been a great tool. The new version is not usable: slow, crashing, buggy, .. I don’t understand why this happens.

Absolutely unacceptable, totally unstable, extremely annoying !!!

An admirable idea to have a djvu reader for the ipad. Unfortunately, the two or three djvu files I tried to open made the program crash. I loaded them via iTunes. I give a One Star reluctantly, only hoping that I am wrong as this is a great idea and I hope it can be made to work - if so, my ratings will certainly change. Please prove me wrong - also could not load via FTP, again, hoping I am wrong.... Followup: Have now tried all the methods mentioned in Support for this App to avoid crashes - no luck. Is anyone else having this problem? If this continues to crash I would not recommend a $5 purchase of something that is not proven yet.... no way to reach app creator to indicate my concern and hope this is not a wasted purchase.

The only sentence I want to say is "It works!!" Because just three djvu viewer options in itunes store. And this is the only one can open djvu file on ipad!! Its really worthy of my five star.

Had a few files open and then got stuck in an empty view and couldnt find a way to load any of the documents. Seems we can navigate around but can get stuck on an empty page without possibility to reload the document

The negative reviews scared me a little, but Ive had no problems with this app. I have about 60 documents loaded into the app and all display and navigate with no problems. Some of the docs are quite large (900 pages plus) and still load smoothly.

Application looks good but does not open some djvu files without any special reason. You can open the same files in other readers through this application using "Open in"! You can rename files in this application but not in some other readers.

Prior to buying this app I tried Stanza and then Djvu Viewer from Caminova. Neither had support for the retina display nor did they preserve the zoom factor when switching from one page to the next. Digging around I found that Djvu Reader has these features and now Im very happy to have bought it. No more having to convert djvu to PDF for a sane reading experience. Thank you!

Simply not working for Djvu format. Very slow to load a page when it works, crash frequently. want my money back.

Disaster! Ive just updated the versoin of DjVu with this app, and now the app doesnt open a all and disappears the moment after I click on it. Looks like Ive lost all my precious books saved in DJVU. This is a shock!

The viewer equips almost all of the features I need but it does not have the sense of iPad document viewer. It does not have any page transition animations and not interesting enough for me...

I have already bought several book readers that can read djvu files. None of them is really satisfactory but this is one of the worst once. Many features either do not work or cause a crash (with djvu files that work fine in other readers). If fact, I dont think I have another app that crashes as often as this. The interface is also completely unintuitive. The only hope is that is still being developed and maybe will get better in the future. But right now definitely worse than many free readers. After a recent update it got even worse. Now it will crash when trying to open any file, both on iPad Air & iPhone 6S. Amazing.

DR versions 2.00 as well as 2.01 absolutely unusable. Please turn back version 1.xx!
