Legimi 3.0.0.3
Windows Phone users who are fond of reading can take their entire collection with them or create one from scratch by using an application that goes by the name of Legimi.
Nicely designed and well structured front-end
The pleasant interface of this app is enticing and in the same time very pragmatic, as it manages to offer a neat way of finding and organizing the reading material. Browsing through the catalog is fairly smooth, even if at times you will have to wait a few seconds for a new set of books to load when scrolling through the list.
Nonetheless, some elements of the interface are not translated into English, like the categories for example, which makes it difficult to use an entire section of the application.
Select and download books or import them from OneDrive
Legimi seems well prepared to offer a large assortment of books in the EPUB digital format, which you can download freely into your account or purchase to be able to read. The cataloging feature is represented by the so-called "Shelves" you can create to organize all the books you collect.
With the help of this app you will be able to import the books you keep stored inside your OneDrive account.
Simple text customization and useful extra features
Modifying the way in which the text is displayed inside the app is possible through the dedicated section of the "Settings" menu. Thus, you have the opportunity to configure the font type and size, the margins, text alignment and line spacing details, to name just a few.
The ability to synchronize information regarding the reading progress, the shelves, as well as the saved bookmarks, notes and quotes may also be of interest to you.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
There is no doubt that Legimi comes with a nice look, but the delays in loading items in the catalog or inside other lists, as well as the fact that it is not fully translated in some areas make it a bit difficult to handle. |
Function8
There are enough features for customizing the way in which the content is displayed inside this application and the cataloging abilities of this utility are more than welcomed for those who wish to keep their e-books neatly organized. On the other hand, the app could be improved a lot by enabling support for more formats. |
Security9
Legimi deals very well with the user's private information as it only needs to access the phone identity and doesn't collect or send out any data. |
Battery7
Browsing through the books, importing the personal collection from OneDrive and otherwise keeping this app running for hours on will have a visible impact on the power consumption. |
Price9
The application is well worth while for anyone seeking to get a good e-book database, a collection manager and a reader as a single app, all without having to pay anything. |
Compatibility9
Thanks to its support for Windows Phone 7.5 and higher handsets, Legimi scores very well here also because it doesn't have any out of the ordinary requirements and it can function perfectly on any device with a minimal screen resolution of 480 by 800 |
