SideBooks App Reviews

Best ios pdf reader EVER!

Perfetto!

This is a real nice app, but it will be better if it can connect to google drive, will definitely rate 5 star with this addition.

Developer claims to do preloading, but simple JPGs are often pixelated when they first appear (depends on the speed of flipping). I present my home made PDF photo books and its annoying. It feels like Im not local but online. PLEASE cache more pages in advance and increase the cache! When quickly flipping back to some pages before, it does not look smooth. The loaded pages should remain in memory more generously.

Ive used this for a couple of years, now. It is easy to create groups for series, and i love the ability to continue to the next book. i also really like that it opens where you left off.

Despite claims, does not read zip or cbr

dropped iOS 6 and not supporting iOS 7

I dont usually waste my time posting reviews. But this is the best PDFs book app Ive seen to date. It really feels like you are reading a real book. You can download straight into the app, do wifi uploads or link to your Dropbox. Not many bells and whistles but if you would like to feel like you are reading a book again and greatly improve reading retention this app is amazing.

Was super exited to try this app but zip and cbr files show as broken. Now I'm seeing all these reviews mentioning crashes. So I guess it's back to the app store to find a reader that actually does what it promise.

*** UPDATE *** I was able to solve my crashing problem by testing the app with a comic in the for of a *.zip file, instead of a *.cbr file. Good news, no repeated crashing. SideBooks could be a great option if you can be flexible about file formats, but since most of my comics are CBRs, this could be more trouble than its worth. Ill probably just keep using Stanza until the developers get SideBooks patched up. *** Original Post Follows *** Downloaded this because I was VERY excited to access CBRs from Dropbox. After setting everything up, I downloaded a single comic (CBR). When I went to open the comic, the app crashed. I tried redownloading the comic and the app several times. I I tried restarting my iPad, then redownloading everything. Finally, I tried opening a comic from Dropbox. I know the files arent damaged as they work fine in Stanza. None of these many attempts allowed me to open the comics. I guess SideBooks just isnt working right now. Hopefully theyll get it patched up shortly.

I NEVER write app reviews, but this deserved one! It does everything I need it to do perfectly!!

The interface is great but THE BLURRY EFFECT IS SO ANNOYING..

This app is F---ing AWESOME!

Ive downloaded all the comic viewers in the app store. Sidebooks CLEARLY has the best features behind-the-scenes. Its non-destructive, can create folders, sub folders for all your books etc. BUT it needs more stability turning from Portrait to Landscape... And by more, I actually mean ANY stability. Crashes like 90% of the time. Until SideBooks can fix, BookmanPro (while not pretty whatsoever) has equal filing guts, and ~100%-stable viewing UI.

I cant get the program to stay open. It keeps crashing on boot up.

Need improve speed AND REALISM to CURL EFFECT

Crashes immediately after opening. It doesnt crash of theres no files in it, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having it

Although the text is not in English, the app navigation is intuitive enough for me to use, and its easy to load comics from my Google Drive as well as via iTunes. It has the one feature my favorite paid comic reader app does not: landscape mode shows two pages side by side! So far Im impressed.

I used to use this app all the time I deleted it then downloaded it months later again, now it wont even open shuts down immediately. Please fix this issue I really miss this app

It crashes all the time, and the sorting is buggy. 010 is before 02 for some of my comics
