Today I give you, Fabrik Reader 2.0! With completely redesigned UI and a render engine that can handle CSS. Read more here.
You might ask, we already got at least 10 different book readers in the android world, why another one? Well, here is thing, among all those 10 different book readers, I just can't find one that really suits me, so I decided to build my own, and here we are
Now, what's so different about Fabrik Reader? Let me ask you a question first, do you really want that much custom preferences in a book reader? Or do you want a book reader that just works beautifully out of the box? Fabrik Reader is definitely not the most feature rich book reader, and what Fabrik Reader gives you, is a really premium, yet really simple user experience. With Fabrik Reader, you get:
★ Complete synchronization of the entire reading experience with your Dropbox. That means, all your books, as well as all your reading progress. So you can use as many devices to read as you want, and everything will just keep in sync automatically.
★ A beautiful interface that will make your reading experience really premium, and easy on your eye.
★ Find covers for your book automatically which make your book looks even better.
★ Share your reading progress(with a beautiful book cover).
★ Some more general stuff in an ebook reader, like adjust text size, screen brightness, night model, etc.
★ Support txt, epub, mobi format (and more will come in the future).
Again, if you want a beautiful book reader that works out of the box, and keeps everything in sync, I think Fabrik Reader is just the way to go. So why not give it a shot? It's free any way!
Want to know more? Here you go: Fabrik Reader on Play Store, Blog, Twitter
[NOTICE] Hi guys, sorry I'm not able to reply every single one of your posts like before. It's just that there are too many of them now and I want to spend as much time as I have to developing Fabrik Reader and make it better. I've posted on the blog a feature request summary. Thank you for your support.

So I guess marketing really do works... Any way, thank you very much! It's a little project of mine, please let me know what you think!
It looks good.
Should post a picture to improve the marketing!
The Dropbox synchronisation feature is cool and something that other readers are lacking.
What about DRM support? Can it open books from Overdrive libraries?

Thank you very much for posing a picture for me! I'm sorry it does not support DRM or OPDS right now, but I'll definitely add them in future release. Now it's only a beta version, I wanted to get some ideas about what people think about this whole design, so it's a little bit pre-mature. More futures will definitely keep coming!
So far works great! Thank you!

I really like the design I have imported a couple of epub's that i had on my SD, so i'll take it out for a spin later.
One request though: Multi select books to import, and also be able to select and import entire folders (i have 20 epub's in one folder)

Great advice! I'll definitely put it in my todo list. I also think that it may be cool to have something like if you put some book in a dedicated folder in your dropbox, synchronization will automatic import them. So one more for my todo list!
Yes, that sounds great! Thank you

Great independent book reader! Love it!
Like the UI of the reader but don't know why it Force closes each time when i try to open an epub file of 12 mb.
New update on the Play Store. Quick update, just how we like it
Looks pretty good, loving the holo-design and animations. The dropbox-sync works great.
Couple of requests:
-I do not particularly like the striped day-theme, could you please have a white background option?
-Please add landscape support, I kinda like that on my tablet (especially the way Aldiko create 2 columns)
-Add support for table of contents
Gonna try this as my main ebook-reader for a while, been using Aldiko so far, but I really like the dropbox integration here

Sorry about that. I don't think my algorithm can handle an epub file that size just right now(of course in future release this will change). It would be really slow... but it should not be crashing. Is it possible to send me the epub file you are trying to open? Or may be show me the crush log? I did not receive any crush log from the android developer console yet.

I was trying to find one for school that allows me to type AND draw all on the same note (like for Math class where I need to type definitions and draw graphs) The only one that is close is freenote but it always says it runs out of memory and loses my notes. I can't find one that does both keyboard and drawings in one. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

There is another new one called AntiPaper you may want to look at too.

handwrite will also do both.
looking just for handwriting notetaking than try genial as it is the smoothest..a close 2ndis tabnotes
I've been using Evernote for years and really like it. It's like a blank canvas for you to create your own method of organization. It took me a why to create a folder structure that worked for the various things I need to keep track of.
Springpad is another good one out there. It has some prebuilt organization structures that will help you get started much quicker than with evernote such as a blank notes, tasks (with check boxes) and the ability to add items via search or scanning a barcode.

Has anyone tried pensupremacy..I haven't but curious how it is?
I spent a few weeks trying to figure out a good set up for class notes..
Check out Freenote. IDK why nobody else suggests it, but it lets you do everything. you can record sound and input them, take pictures, take video, and put all these things right in the same note.
You can write with a stylus, and after each word it automatically shrinks it to whatever font size you want and in line, so that you can write big and clear.
You can draw free hand.
And you can type right in the same lines as all the above.
Its by far the best note taking app available that I have tried; and i have tried literally every one of them listed above.
The other app i would suggest is Repligo Reader. If your classes are anything like my classes, they give tons of notes on PDF. Well this app is a pdf editor, you can draw on them, and input text boxes to type in, and then save it all within the PDF.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the input, but I mentioned that in the OP. I get the out of memory issue in Freenote all the time!
usually i just use the default office app that comes with the Transformer to take notes... typed notes that is... not handwritten.
I am kind of frustrated by the lack of a school-oritented notes program that features both typing and drawings.
After over a month of searching, I found freenote to be the only program sporting both features, and unfortunately it is incredibly buggy, has a terrible UI, and just looks ugly.
My work around has been to use ezPDF Reader, which by nature is a PDF annotation tool. I created a series of 40-page blank pdfs and open them up in the app. From there I can add text boxes, hand drawings and pre-set drawings...with them saved as PDFs. It has worked so far but ultimately it is really ridiculous that no one is capitalizing on this. The Applestore sports dozens of applications that do this and I have no clue why all we have available is Freenote. Missed opportunity right there.

Im suprised you have so many issues with freenote, I use it daily and have never had an issue
I agree there is tons of room for improvement though, both in free notes interface, and the need for other options in general.
when do you typically get the out of memory issue?
is it adding multiple pics, and documents to your worksheet?
or just continuing on the same page forever?
or just random occurances?
I typically do one page per section, so they remain fairly short, and rarely add more than one or two pics to a page. I just hand draw stuff instead of taking pictures.
Off curiosity, whats your favorite stylus?
I love Colornote on app market

SuperNote
I think SuperNote is the best note taking app..
is very similar to FreeNote in the functionality (text, handwritten, drawing, insert picture, ...) but has a beautiful tablet interface..
+1 for AntiPaper Notes HD that someone has mentioned in this thread that is a good alternative in case you don't like SuperNote..
Writepad Stylus is nice, it has palm detection so you don't have to worry about awkwardly floating your palm over the screen as you write. And typing support too!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.writepad
Agreed!!

I completely agree. SuperNote is awesome. It does everything the OP requested and is free.
SuperNote is great, but it lacks RTL support. Writepad doesn't care much what language and direction you're writing.

Hi all,
I've just released a new app to Play store for Flickr: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bourke.glimmr
Have put a ton of work into it so would be thrilled for people to check it out and provide some feedback. Any requests for features you'd like to see just let me know!

Nice, I'll definitely check it out.
nice app. much smoother than justpictures (but flickr only). Could you a local storage viewer too
Good work,
cheers !
very nice app!!
i will test very soon.... waht can I say now is that is very smooth....
I have a characters overlay in "my" picture view: my nick is long and is overlay to the number of visit of each picture
Quite possible
Im not a programmer, but I love this app. I was wondering if it would be easy, or possible to port it to SlideshowPro API? Ive seen other apps do this, didnt know if the api was similar. It sure would be nice since nobody is doing this.
I know there are lots of slideshowpro users out there, but nobody seems to want to put a gallery app together.
If you need a test server, I can put one up for you, I would even donate...
Thanks
Very nice but I keep getting a force close everytime I try to view any picture.
I have not used flickr in a long time, but this app makes browsing through your pics simple and easy on my Sprint GS3. :victory:

Congratulations on the Lifehacker mention. Love the layout, but was hoping I'd be able to use the app without setting up a flickr account (or logging in through fb, etc). All I wanted to do was browse photos - so I could run a search for "dog" and sit with my daughter and we could look at all of the dog pictures together.
Any change of that kind of functioanlity being built in?

Works great on the LTE though. :good:
so far so good! thanks for adding the capability to see contact stream
I found a kind of bug (probably you already know). When you zoom in a picture and slide to right to another, the frame move directly to the other pic and not to the other zoomed part of the picture you're watching ( i hope you understand)
keep on developing this beautiful app
Very nice. Just installed on my Motorola Defy running CM10, works very well.
What would you think about adding an auto-upload feature? Similar to what's available in Dropbox and Google+. I've never come across an app that does auto-upload to Flickr, and would absolutely love to have one.
Great work so far brk3!

2)Some kind of sync. across devices
3)Black theme while reading
4)Some kind of image scaling , with this you dont need to do the zoom in/out

I loved your manga reader app.
I know you're dealing with google about it.
I was hoping you might be able to keep a fully featured version off of the google play store instead of stripping it down for that purpose.
I mainly used it because it allowed me to download full manga chapters at a time and worked great!
This is the best manga app. It's smoother than any other manga app and it's super easy to use. Now it's not on Google Play anymore but I found an apk on Google and even if it's not been updated for a while, it's still way much better than any other app on Google Play Store.
omg noooo! I was having some issues with the app so I was going to delete it and reinstall from the market and it was gone D;
Pleeeaassseeee put it up here or something. It's the best manga reader app out there hands down.

Would be nice but don't hold your breath. I have been using Mango as of late. Not as nice but considering the other options about as good as you can find that takes multiple sources.
you could use manga rock
Mangacloud and Mango are better than manga rock IMO.
Omg Google removed the awesome app from the store.. Please post the apk here for us.. I just love this app so hard.
I have found an version in blackmart, but it's a previous version.
I found this app on Aptoide!!
?
First of all i'm sorry to bump this thread, but i've been looking for a way to ask a question to the maker of this awesome app, and thought it might be my best bet. I've been using your app pretty much ever since it was released and it's been by far the best one in term of design/functionality, so thanks you.
Now the thing is, ever since it's been removed from the play store new mangas have been released, my question is would it be possible to add these (by decompiling the apk?)? The reason i'm asking this is because i just got done trying every single apps and couldn't find any that come close to yours.
Anyway if anyone know a way to do this (or at worst case scenario, a similar app) i'll gladly take your advices.
Once again, thanks.
This application is spectacular. It's perfect! You will not make other updates? really it deserves! I've also noticed that new manga are not listed. what can we do?

Today I have released my document scanning app on Android after coming to 2 realizations about current document scanning apps on Google Play:
1) The Pro versions are way too expensive.
2) The current scanning apps are too convoluted and required "figuring out".
So focusing on simplicity, as well as having an affordable Pro version, I began work 3 months ago on SimplyScan. I would love any feedback I could possibly get, as I'll be aggressively turning out updates since it's a new release!

Hey, @AggieDev,
really cool and sexy app, much more friendlier ui than other scan apps I tried, immediately bought PRO after first try, thanks a LOT and keep your great work and simplicity! :good:

Good morning. Gave your app a try. The interface is very nice and modern. I am left with some questions...
Where are the documents saved once the scan is completed? I see I can export them to my phone, but could not find them locally beforehand.
Is there any OCR abilities in the paid version? I couldn't find such in the free version.
Thank you.

I'm giving this a try now! I use a scanner app SEVERAL times a day, on several different document types. I currently use 4 different apps (Cam Scanner, Turbo Scan are the main ones) and I will definitely be using this today. I have a Nexus 5, and HTC One M8, I'm on the Nexus today, but I will let you know how it works on the HTC when I switch back.
PS - LOVE the philosophy and passion behind this app.
Looks really nice! I don't often have to scan things on the go, but if the need ever arises one day, I'll be sure to check this app out first.

1) The Pro versions are way too expensive.
2) The current scanning apps are too convoluted and required "figuring out".
So focusing on simplicity, as well as having an affordable Pro version, I began work 3 months ago on SimplyScan. I would love any feedback I could possibly get, as I'll be aggressively turning out updates since it's a new release!

Hello
It look great and nice UI. This UI seems very simple to use. I dream about this such app !
But do you plan to add OCR capabilities to this app ?
best regards

Good morning. Gave your app a try. The interface is very nice and modern. I am left with some questions...
Where are the documents saved once the scan is completed? I see I can export them to my phone, but could not find them locally beforehand.
Is there any OCR abilities in the paid version? I couldn't find such in the free version.
Thank you.

OCR is currently in the works! The documents themselves consist of images and some minor data, so any of them can be retrieved by exporting, if you want the images themselves select "Photo" or "ZIP file of photos" when exporting.
Can you point out the features which makes it better than the Google Drive Scanning?

I'm giving this a try now! I use a scanner app SEVERAL times a day, on several different document types. I currently use 4 different apps (Cam Scanner, Turbo Scan are the main ones) and I will definitely be using this today. I have a Nexus 5, and HTC One M8, I'm on the Nexus today, but I will let you know how it works on the HTC when I switch back.
PS - LOVE the philosophy and passion behind this app.

Much appreciated! Please do let me know of any suggestions you have since you have a lot of experience with other apps out there, I want to update the app with user-requested features as they come.

Drive essentially has the basic scanning feature without the freedom of doing multiple things with your documents, with my app you can export to other formats than PDF (such as a ZIP file of the photos), you can fine tune the image effects, and you can apply various settings to your PDF before you export.

Hi all,
I've made a super simple app for reading news using news-api. It shows sources (groupped by categories). So in short, app can:
Add xml feeds sources to the app
Show each source latest news
Show a preview of news (with basic Share and Open in browser options)
Tries to fetch the full content of the news including images
Show latest news of Favorite sourcess
Shows you a bookmarked list or articles
Download on Google Play Store: Latest News
Screenshots:

TODO:
optimization everything for the tablet devices
select preferred language
Thank you for being an alpha tester. Please keep in mind that...
I'm opened for requests/ideas
I'll even fix any bugs you find!
Will change the name of the app to something better, since "latest news" will return at least 3029482093480 items when using search on google play store.

Rollout of new release has started:
Version 0.0.1 build 6
- Improved speed of scrolling in Favorites list and News of Source
- Implemented the grabber system which fetches the whole article and parse possible text of article including images (this is alpha of alpha app!)

Thank you for your feedback. One of the next major improvements to app will be possibility of adding custom news pages. I will try me best to add it as soon as possible :good:
@paed808 & others
next release brings adding custom news sources:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Another huge update being rolled out today: Custom feeds!
There's been lots of refactoring, small fixes and improvements, but the biggest thing is finally implemented. Adding custom feeds. Just add the url of the news page or direct feed url (example http://www.cbc.ca/news), select a category and hope for the best!
Feel free to report any bugs you find.
After some release-break, here's yet another one. This has been an amazing month with a-lot of effort going towards development. Started as a simple newsapi client, I've got a few requests for which, I was sure it will take a while to implement them all. Since today, Latest News includes:
- a superb wizard just to remind you its beginner friendly,
- revamped source adding, which doesn't relly on newsapi anymore but uses own methods to fetch xml feeds and parse the data,
- super awesome grabber(tm), which downloads and parses the whole article from the websites, removes everything except the text story and images.
- an awesome back-end synchronization, which makes sure, your sources are always safe,
- and increadible new and redesigned menu (yea, this deserves a place on the list too!) and extra animations
It has been an awesome month.
Now, its up to people to start using it
Another update has been pushed to beta channel:
- added feeds Gruenderszene, NBA, JS weekly, Android Police, XDA-developers, Mac Rumors
- update sync so it will now handle a conflict between different remote/local entries; you will now have options to overwrite local, db or merge both,
- added read flag to article after it has been read.
- fixed the issue with images not being overwritten after refreshing the articles
- fixed the width of items which text isn't long,
- synchronizing favorites should now also work better
Enjoy!
Hi everyone! I'm happy to announce the first PRODUCTION release being rolled out.
Enjoy and don't forget to submit any bugs you find or feeds suggestions you would like to see in the app.

Wow the app is really cool. I will give it a try for a few days and see what It can do.
Just a question: can you add a way to login using Google account? There's a lot of passwords to remember and using Google is much better, with synchronization is superb.
PS: If you need someone to help you translating to portuguese let me know.
Finally an app that allows me read short rss feeds in full. Loves it. Please any plans for an import feature so I can import my feedly subscriptions? Thanks
plans to add to XDA labs or f droid?

Hi @udegbunamchuks - Just checked the OPML generated and yes, this is doable. You woulld like to see an option to import the exact OPML file, right? Sadly, it will take longer than one afternoon. Hope to keep you in the app until then :good:

With that, do you just mean if I plan to list the app on both services or completely open-source the code?
listing mostly but OS would be nice also.
feel like it would get more love at xda and f Droid.
btw been testing it and working great. been looking for a good rss reader for a long time.

thank you so much for your feedback. I will bring it on f-droid and xda labs in the future
None of my sources in this app shows any pictures. I even added MTV News since you used that in your screenshots and yours shows pictures for each article. It doesn't show any pictures on mine.

good evening @sourbear and thank you for your report. Just for test, please try adding "neowin". There are A LOT of sources, that just don't add image as leading article image (default rss image for specific article). However, it just happened none of your picked up source articles currently dont include any images.
MTV, at that time, had images, I've tested it again and what you found is correct. (Shame on them! ). Give them all a day or two.... you will start seeing them eventually. :good:
math in blogs
This is a great news for me, as I have been using feedMe for some time, but it cannot display mathjax properly.
So, two questions, do you plan to add mathjax/mathml support, and offline support as well?? Right now I tried https://terrytao.wordpress.com/feed/ and the math is not shown properly. Some formulas appear too big, some don't appear at all. Thank you for your work @greglord

Hi there
I will take a look immediatelly what's going on with those formulas!
Update @gilcu3
Just checked the source of the article and... oh my So far, I've made the formulas visible, however, since there is so much mixing between paragraphs and images (formulas), the "grabber" does not add texts to the full story. I humby ask for re-test after new update. If the content isn't something that suits you, I will invest more time and refactor the grabber to be more smart.
