Czytnik o wielu możliwościach

• ★★★★★   tntomtn 8 years ago ( v 1.9.4 )

Używam go jak podstawowego czytnika. 5 gwiazdek trochę na zachętę do dalszego rozwoju . Program oceniam na 4 ze względu na obawy o jego dalszy rozwój i pewne małe niedoskonałości. Uwiebliam szybkość działania tego programu i obsługę wielu formatów książek. Oznaczanie fragmentów jest szybkie. Program służy mi do czytania wszystkich materiałów.

Solid eBook Reader for OS X/macOS

• ★★★★☆   jacobfromnm 8 years ago ( v 1.8.6 )

Clearview is a great eReader - and has a nice set of options that can be tweaked in order to provide a smoother/more comfortable reading experience (changing the font diesplayed by an eBook, its size and line spacing, etc.) I also love that I can get a scrolling view on the Mac through Clearview (similar to what iBooks provides on iOS), something that is surprisingly and unfortunately difficult to find in an eBook reader for the Mac. Everything is solidly done, and I’ve had no issues so far, but I do have a feature request (if I may): having the option to adjust the left/right/top/bottom margins would be awesome! I often read programming eBooks in Clearview and have to get creative with my window positioning on the Mac to ensure that lines of code complete rather than wrap-around. Having that option would be awesome - otherwise, really great work!

Decent ebook reader with a serious memory problem

• ★☆☆☆☆   (k)dragon 8 years ago ( v 1.9.1 )

I use this app to read technical books and have to skip from page to page looking for information. When scrolling through a book in this manner, the computer memory that is consumed by Clearview as reported in the OS X Activity Monitor quickly soars into the gigabytes - even though the total size of the book is 15 or 20 megabytes. I have emailed Clearview support regarding this but after a month have not received any response whatsoever. Poor programming and non-existent support.

Search Is Broke

• ★★★★☆   Hasta la victoria, siempre! 7 years ago ( v 1.9.4 )

Great program but the search index is completely broken. When I try to reindex it, the program automatically crashes. Please fix? I dont want to reinstall the program and lose all the collections ive made
