Thanks for the report!

Any suggestions on how to fix this visually? Maybe show their names in italics, so it looks like a shortcut? Maybe change the order, putting the HOME button between the recent entries and the other files?
(By the way, I only show the recent items when you're viewing the home directory.)

2. Would it be possible to lock the panning? Once i set the zoom, scrolling usually took the pdf offscreen. But again most readers i used dont seem to have this.

Scrolling with the volume keys helps with this issue. How do you think the interface for locking the panning would work?
I've been thinking of doing something like what the Android browser does, though I don't know exactly the algorithm it uses. When you scroll approximately downward, it locks it into straight up and down movement, and you need to move seriously side to side to unlock it.

3. The app did crash a couple of times, but recovered. Maybe it was the pdf.
|
It could also be a memory usage issue. Could you switch it to "black and white" (normal or inverted) mode and see if it still happens? And could you send me the pdf that crashes it?

5. Touch zones for next/prev pages and a slider for scrolling pages would be good to have.
|
I personally hate the way touch zones often get implemented: I touch and instead it scrolls; I scroll and instead it flips. Maybe there is a good way to do it, though. But I still think using the volume buttons for scrolling is much saner. I'll think about it.
The priority is the crashing--so please send me the problematic pdf (arpruss@gmail.com).

Its a simple pdf reader. So feature wise this is good; Only improvements maybe, make it faster(dont really need it cos its faster than my reading speed)
|
My guess is that it may be close to as fast as other pdf readers, but other pdf readers have better ways of hiding the slowness, e.g., by not showing progressive screen updates or doing more rendering forward or back from the current position. I could be wrong.
