Lithium is effectively everything I want or need to read epubs on my phone, and nothing I don't want. It's got the basic and essential features like adjusting fonts, font sizes, line spacing, and margins. It's very reliable, I haven't experienced any bugs myself. HOWEVER - the one feature I wish it had - I want to be able to move my categories around. Currently there's no way to organize categories (alphabetically, last used). I would love to see this implemented!

LITERALLY THE BEST EREADING APP EVER. it even gets better when you purchase the pro version (which is affordable and worth it!!) because i get to sync my bookmarks, highlights, everything across multiple devices, and i get to customize the colors of the background, text and links in the books i'm reading. it's such a fun experience for readers who love to organize and personalize their reading materials. i was quite worried when this was gone from the store for a while, but it's back!

Previously great, but like other folks have reported, as of spring 2024, it won't open books due to permissions problems with accessing files on the phone (nor am I prompted to grant permissions again, as other apps do). I've emailed the dev and gotten no response, which has been true for other issues over the years, too. It's a real bummer because I've loved this reader and have lots of notes and bookmarks in it.

I have tried several apps and most overwrite the formatting put into the ebook by the publisher, along with other problems. This is not perfect, but it does the best job of rendering the formatting in the ebook. I appreciate that. Now if only they'd put descriptions of the books in the list, and tags, and get them from the metadata, and from calibre, it'd be almost perfect.

The best epub reader, hands down. I used to use Google books, but I switched when I found out this existed and I'm so glad I did. I love being able to create custom categories, it works with any epub file, and you don't have to waste time uploading to a server like with Google books. What an incredible app! Oh, and the formatting is preserved! Being able to read Death's voice in Mort the way it was intended- no other ereader managed to preserve that formatting, in my experience. Great job!

Very good! This is an excellent quality e-reader and it's got a nice minimalist interface that doesn't get in the way. I use the Pro version, but it's still missing the single feature that I need most: Backup of epub files to Google Drive. The problem is that a lost phone is still something of a disaster when there's no backup of the epub's themselves. The only other thing it needs badly is background preloading of the next page. Otherwise, it's an excellent reader. Much better than 90% of what's out there.
