I downloaded the app (trusting the Google refund policy as the app has no trial period) onto my ageing Boox Poke.
I was interested in it purely in terms of it as a reading app rather than the syncing functionality (I use Calibre Sync for that).
Pros:
Easy to locate my downloaded books and very quick to scan and load them into the library view.
The e-ink mode seemed to display nicely on my Poke.
A good range of options for information in the top and bottom bars - I particularly valued the progress in chapter option (something too few apps have).
Both the top and bottom bars can be resized very easily.
Opening a book was quick. There was a slight delay in moving between chapters but nothing bad.
Cons:
Font selection seemed limited. I could find no way of using locally held fonts.
My Poke has no back button, nor volumes rockers and navigating out of settings options would have benefitted from a back arrow (I realise that this is a common problem with Android devices which do not display the standard navigation panel).
Unless I missed some hidden setting, the killer fail which caused me to seek a refund and uninstal: dictionary look-up appears to be online only with no use of in device dictionaries.
