Freda 3.13.0.0
To facilitate the access to these e-books, a lot of dedicated applications are available and Windows Phone users can experiment with Freda, as it seems to offers a good deal of useful features and ease to use.
Plain interface focusing on functionality
The looks of this app are less appealing and more practical, but this shouldn't be a major inconvenient, as the access to the e-books and sources is quite straightforward and the navigation through the pages feels pretty smooth.
There are some advertisement banners displayed inside most areas of the utility and occasionally some reminders that prompt you to rate and review the application will come into view.
Read and manage all your e-books in your collection
Freda can be used as a manager for the e-books stored in your OneDrive or Dropbox accounts, as it can download the desired titles from any source.
Customizing these references is a simple job, but you should note that, in most cases, you will have to create an account and log in to search and download the e-books.
While in reading mode you have the possibility to bookmark favorite passages from the book or highlight and copy excerpts from the text that is before your eyes.
Find the explanation and translation of any word using some dedicated features
There is a translation module built-in this app that can be quite useful for finding out the meaning of any word in other languages.
Three Internet search engines are at your fingertips and a dictionary look-up feature as well, so as to help you find out more about words and phrases selected from the e-book.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The appearance of this app needs more improvements to make it more appealing for all users. The navigation through menus and inside the e-books is fluent and without glitches, but the ads and prompts it shows can easily become bothersome. |
Function6
Freda offers a decent score of customizations for general actions and reading parameters, a good bookmarking feature and basic library management functions. Nonetheless, the search options should be more at hand, as users have to go in the "Sources" area to find any reading material. |
Security7
The application is supposed to be an e-book reading utility, but for some reason it requires access to sensitive areas of the phone, like the location services, phone dialer, owner and phone identities. |
Battery8
Reading the books stored inside this app will not drain the battery too soon, but the app still uses a moderate amount of power throughout its runtime. |
Price8
There are several pros and cons for getting this app or turning elsewhere, but, on the whole, Freda is a decent tool to have, as it offers all its features free of cost, even if users will have to endure the ads and prompts shown here and there. |
Compatibility9
The reach of this utility is pretty extensive as it addresses all the devices powered by Windows Phone 7.5 and higher, with a minimum WVGA screen resolution. |
