1. 5/5The best you’ll find

   I have spent a lot of time testing out different ebook readers. Throughout this time, I have tried maybe over 30+ apps. After switching back-and-forth through these various apps, Yomu is the app that I kept returning to. This app has allowed me to use a lot of features that I love, not to mention it is still being updated. One thing I also like is that there is no subscription model for this app, instead there is a one time fee that is very inexpensive. The pro version of Yomu allows me to have as many books as I would like, not to mention separate them into personalized folders. I have an instance of Kavita running on one of my personal NAS. The OPDS support is amazing in Yomu as it only takes a few seconds for all of my books to be downloaded. I wasn’t the biggest on reading just because I don’t like the physical feel of paper anymore, however, Yomu has assisted me and reading more books than I thought possible at this phase in my life. If you don’t buy the pro version of the app, it still does not hinder your use of the app itself. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to increase their ability to read books on an iOS device. I would also strongly recommend the pro version since your books are saved to the cloud with seamless syncing. Not sure if pro is needed for that, however, it is certainly worth it as this will help the developers continue to improve upon this wonderful app. Just like Panels is the best comic reader I’ve ever used on an iOS device Yomu is hands-down the best book reader on an iOS device.

2. 5/5Solid reading solution for iOS

   I had been reading on my phone/tablet for over a decade when I made the switch to e-Ink devices about 5 years back. Due to some recent changes with the products, I decided to sell all of my e-Ink readers and go back to reading on my personal devices but did *not* want to put my library into another proprietary app (looks at you, Apple Books). I tested every ebook reader available on the App Store and was truly shocked that there were not more options - I wasn’t looking for anything crazy, just a solid reader with OPDS server support. Out of all of them, Yomu handles that the best. Fast, solid syncing, still getting updates and super easy to import your files. Not sure why other apps struggle to render tables in epubs correctly but Yomu has handled everything I’ve thrown at it beautifully. Just enough customization for your books to look how you like it but not too many that it overwhelms the UI and makes it difficult to navigate. Didn’t intend to but Yomu ended up replacing my comic book app so now I get to keep all of my books together in the same app. Highly recommend, nothing in the App Store currently compares. I don’t write reviews very often but sometimes an app is so great, you want to make sure to give the dev their flowers (and hopefully help someone find a useful tool when looking for one).

3. 5/5The BEST ebook reader, argue with ya momma 🤭

   Seriously so AMAZING! If you’ve been struggling to find an ebook reading app that has good feature and a good look, this app is IT! This my second review on this app, since the Liquid Glass update came out not too long ago and man, it really gives the Yomu app a clean, fresh look (it already looked good, but it feels like after this update, the app was given a lil extra polishing) I’m being 100% honest when I say i don’t have anything negative to say about this app! That’s just how good it is! Simple, but clean! That’s Yomu!!! The only thing that I have to offer are some suggestions for new features in the future!! I am hoping for a feature that lets you go line by line when reading, it’ll blur out the rest of the words on the page and when you finish reading a line, you can tap on the screen to go to the next line (so, similar to what Apple Books offers!) I have always had trouble with accidentally skipping lines and getting confused, used to read with a bookmark covering the next lines in school for this reason! Hoping something like that gets added in! It’d be a super helpful feature for many users I bet!

4. 4/5Quite good, missing some customization and file management features

   I am a Kybook 3 lover, but given the lack of ongoing support for that app, started looking at alternatives. This was the best option I found. The tagging system is great; the bulk import feature works well; navigation is very straightforward. Overall, the layout is easier to use than Kybook 3, and the filtering and “read status” features are awesome. The iCloud backup feature works well. I also like the ability to export annotations, though I have not played around with that feature yet. Also appreciate the wide range of supported filetypes. A few feature requests: 1. When doing a bulk import, allow the user to apply tags to all of them at once. Failing this, make a “select all” button, and/or make multi-select much easier. Right now, I have to manually tap every single imported document to apply a bulk tag. 2. Support nested folders !!! this one is huge. I have a wide variety of types of content, and a single level of folders is going to get unwieldy very quickly. Also, it would be great to be able to delete or rename the “Yomu” folder that is taking up space at the top of the folder list, since it’s useless to me for categorizing my content. 3. Increased customization of colors. I find a dark grey + faint yellow text the easiest to read, but there are only a few presets to choose from. I also find the lime green system color really hard on my eyes, and don’t see a way to change it. This is one area that Kybook really shines and where I feel the biggest difference in the switch. 4. Make the iCloud backup library visible to users in Files for easier file manipulation and export. 5. Bulk edit of metadata (adding an author, e.g.)

5. 5/5A Reader for Explorers

   06NOV25: now reliably syncs across iOS and MacOS. Doesn't always permit highlighting italicized text. Good notes, bookmarks and highlights annotations. Splendid little reader routinely updated. =Peace= =============================== 26APR24: Remains the leader of the pack of nonDRM eBook readers. Yomu preserves all notes and highlights, but to open the last location on another iOS device is unreliable, which has dogged this app form the beginning. I find it best to use ‘HandOff’ feature, then commence reading. Buy it and support the developer. =Peace= =============================== 23JUN23: another useful incremental upgrade. Yomu is the epub reader leader at this time. ========================== 14may23. Supported and periodically improved. I’m a bit disappointed PDF support is read only. Notwithstanding, the epub utility of this app is unassailable. Remains at 5stars for developer focus on maintaining this splendid app. =Peace= =============================== Obtaining reads for the many epub/PDF, etc servers provide a treasure trove of inexhaustible material. This reader is at the top, opening multiple windows and plays well with split screen. Another update, for me, is exciting. This app is a jewel
