DjVu Reader App Reviews

I live on this app as a graduate student and over all I prefer it to the apple djvu reader. It would be nice if its interface wasnt from the 1970s, but in a way it makes the app only more endearing. My only complaints are the advance ten page button is kind of small so you often accidentally skip to the end of a doc, and it is dangerously easy to accidentally erase documents whilst editing with no recourse in case a mistake is made... Still, I use it for hundreds of research papers, so Id say buy it.

Okay app except for the fact that search doesnt work at all for PDFs and only works pagewise on djvu files along with a few crashes. Whats the point of a digital copy if you cant search?

This is a great app for opening djvu files in a fast way without any conversion. However, the app has an issue the "luminosity" setting. Every time I open the app (or switch from another app to the djvu reader), the screen brightness switches to the level defined in the "luminosity" option in settings, regardless of how bright the screen was before opening the app. For example, if the screen had a 0.8 brightness before opening the app, when you switch to the app the brightness changes to whatever value is defined in the "luminosity" setting. This can be pretty annoying. I wrote to the developer asking about this issue. Lets see.

The latest version crashes when trying to change settings. Also, I dont like the continuous page views. The old version was much better and easier to use. Please bring back the old version or fix the new one!

This upgrade crashes every few pages on my iPad 3 running iOS 7.0.2, so the app became largely useless. I suggest not upgrading until the bugs are fixed. Selecting "activate paging" in the configuration panel crashes the app immediately. Zooming or even flipping pages can either crash the app or freeze with a gray screen. The new interface is an improvement, although the blue colored controls in the reading mode are visually distracting. In summary, it is a disastrous update.

I was excited after seeing the details of the latest update but it turned out to be a disaster. -very unstable -cannot turn off the useless and choppy horizontal continuous scroll -the new document browser is ugly, perhaps trying to be GoodReader

what the hell is this? there are more ways to make this app crash than there are buttons in the menu... To name a few: it crashes when you scroll through the document quickly; if you zoom in, you cannot zoom out anymore! thats an embarassing product for any self-respecting app developer. As a fellow developer, let me give you advice: rollback to the previous version ASAP! you can call it version 3.0 if you like:-)

After this update it crashes less frequently. However if one turns the pages while zooming in it becomes blank often. I never had such issues with the single page view version.

Strong doubt whether the developer did test before they made new release. It always crash during setting! Apple App Store will die in predictable time if they allow such poor quality Apps shown here!

I did try to find a contact email, no luck, AND I read the "HELP" page...no luck...am running IOS 7.4 on a 1 yr old iPad with 33gig left in the memory. App crashes IMMEDIATELY on opening...so I tried to open a DjVu doc...same thing IMMEDIATE CRASH. WASTE OF MONEY.

The latest version has fixed many serious problems present before making this the best available software for reading djvu files.

Awful new continuous image display, with, seemingly, no way to go back to the older page display. I say seemingly because trying to change configuration settings makes the app crash! This is the second time theres been a disasterous update. Do some comprehensive QA testing before putting out releases!

Used to have a bug upon leaving the app( brightness going down), but with the update, that bug got replaced with a different one-it crashes when I open any djvu book.Defeats the purpose.

The page display and page turn are very inconvenient to use. Continuous page display is fine, but being continuous in the horizontal direction? Has the develop him/herself ever tried to read this way? Already asked for a refunding.

I first started using this app on my lowly iPhone3G, and later on my ipad2. It was fast, responsive and worked well. Now on my shiny new iPad air (which is supposed to have a processor at least 4x faster) the app feels sluggish and unresponsive. Worse: the behavior of the page advance command (swipe left) is incorrect: it should advance a full page leaving full pages displayed, but instead it leaves 1/2 a page of the previous and 1/2 a page of the next page displayed. It is VERY HARD to swipe just enough to make a new whole page appear. Looking for a different app until this gets fixed.

You guys totally broke it. The navigation controls are gone, the page swiping is buggy, slow and crashes the app, the setting to turn off swiping does not work. It went from a great app to a total piece of crap I cant use because its slow as hell and crashes all the time.

The current version (2.0.7) is practically unusable on iOS 5 - too many annoying bugs. This is just sad, since this app was the only choice for reading djvu on iPad 3 without iOS upgrade.

The outlines of my docs all disappeared. What an annoying update. Could you app maker fix this bug pls?

Im uninstalling this application from my iPad. Previous versions were rough over edges, but usable. The new version wont allow you to read long documents, as it will allow to swipe only three pages; it will confuse documents (it will open a different document than the one requested or worst delete a different document), and it will crash at the slightest provocation.

Earlier versions were great, it was the best djvu reader for me. But after updating Ive gotten an awful piece of ****, for 6 bucks I paid for it earlier.
