The only bad thing about it is that I didn't find it earlier. It is very lightweight and fits perfectly in a phone with small storage.

The rendering is high quality, and though it sacrifices a lot of functionality to be as lightweight as possible, it has everything a casual reader needs.

Features are too simple and the UI is not user-friendly.

Really fast PDF viewer on Android but it's not possible to select and copy any text. Also very less options/tools.
