Overall, this has been a great epub reading app coming from many years of using Marvin. But, like any app, there is always room for improvement. A recent issue (which is probably not the developer’s fault thanks to iOS 18) is that the “Lookup” option (dictionary) is gone from the list when pressing on a word. Other minor issues: I’d love for the clock to always show onscreen in the upper left (without needing to tap the screen). Also, syncing reading progress between iPad and iPhone is great but takes attention since it needs to be done manually on each device every time you want to switch between devices. Lastly, on a really positive note, the developer reads and responds to feedback and is still making improvements to the app. That’s worth the price for the paid version.

I want to thank the developers very much for their quick reply and support ... it is greatly appreciated! May I also take the time to compliment them on a wonderfully done app! I love the many options they have included, especially being able to import and use my own chosen fonts... I use a font called Happy Monkey that imitates the written had, one that no ebook reader would ever use, so having the ability to import my own fonts is a heaven sent on these old eyes! When reading an ebook and looking at a screen the majority of the day, this ability becomes a true blessing ... a soothing background color and choice of font makes all the difference on one's ability to enjoy an ebook, so thank you for such a incredibly well thought out app! This old man's eyes truly appreciate it... I know developers probably only hear complaints, via support, and on the majority of their reviews, so I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for such a well thought out app and design! I love and appreciate your app so much I purchased all versions to show that appreciation. I also try to tip the developers, as much as possible to show my appreciation , and as frequently as my wallet allows ... I believe it is one way we all can continue to support the development on this app!

I was a loyal Marvin user for over 13 years. Kris built a great app in Marvin and my devotion was absolute. I had figured out how to keep Marvin working on my devices. . . until 26.2, which completely kills the app. Like many, I went on a desperate hunt. For me, only Mapleread and Readest came close to meeting my needs. Both allow you to customize the book interface to almost Marvin levels. Mapleread beats Readest for me in a few key areas: 1. Mapleread allows you to download multiple titles from your opds catalog. Readest only allows one download at a time. 2. While I appreciate the open source collaborative approach to Readest feature development, I want a professionally developed and maintained app. Readest doesn’t have any real documentation and support on reddit is ok, but not preferred. With Mapleread, I emailed the support alias with a question about using a specific font—I received a response and my request was addressed in the most recent release. If you’re looking for something to replace Marvin, I recommend Mapleread. I’m happy to have found a home for my ebooks. I hope they’ll continue to add feature requests from the Marvin loyalists like me!

I've been searching for a successor to the Marvin series of e-reader apps FOREVER. How obsessed am I with finding this app? I haven't updated my iPad in over a year for fear that Marvin will no longer open. Marvin isn't in the app store anymore. It was accidentally deleted on a couple of my devices and I can never get it back. There have been many contenders. This is it. Does it have everything Marvin has? No. The customization isn't as advanced. Dev, if you're reading this, I have so many screenshots and notes detailing the things Marvin was capable of in terms of customization. I'll share them with you. The background color wheel is a nice touch, but I wish it had a color picking tool as well to copy colors outside the app. BookFusion has this. This app will now be my go-to. You have no idea what this means coming from me. I still have Marvin, Marvin3, and Marvin SXS on my iPad. But I will be using this app. Only one slight bug I notice -when I slide over to another app and return to MapleReader, my book has closed! This is a major annoyance, but easily fixed.

I was looking for a few simple things in an e-reader app and thankfully my long search is finally over: 1) always on progress bar at the bottom margin 2) Current page number and remaining pages in book (somewhere on the bottom margin) 3) The ability to highlight a word and have TTS pronounce it for me 4) TTS the whole page if I want Numbers 2-4 are relatively easy to find in an e-reader app but Number 1 (out of the 13 ereader apps I tested) only existed on one other ereader app besides MapleReader: FBReader. But the problem with FBReader is that it can't open some epub files I have (that MapleReader and Apple Books opens fine) and it can't open PDFs. EVERY SINGLE OTHER APP I tried only allowed you to see the progress bar if you clicked on the screen which I find highly annoying; I want to instantly know where I am in a book with a progress bar always on display, kind of like how you intuitively know how far you are in a physical book by seeing how the book looks in your hand. All the apps I tried that didn't have the 4 things I wanted above: Kybook 3 Bluefire Reader Readest BookFusion Kindle Yomu Epub Reader FBReader Kobo Reader Pocketbook Reader PureLibro eBOOX ReadEra Once I saw Maple Reader had these features I gladly paid the one-time fee and will donate a tip every so often to encourage further development/help pay developer costs. Thank you for finally giving me the app that checked my 4 most important boxes!

I wanted a reader that would let me import epubs, read with font+layout+colors customizations, and provide good text to speach for when listening feels easier than actually reading. This app executes on these things solidly. I can't remember what I paid for this app, but it doesn't feel like I paid enough given its high quality. One thing I didn't realize I wanted to have at the time, was the ability to easily import books from calibre. This app even autodetects your local calibre server. Additionally, the app lets you turn your iphone library into a server to sync books to other services. I'm not sure why this app doesn't get more 5 star reviews, but it should. Thanks for making such a great product.

I enjoyed the layout and UI of the CX version and decided to purchase the SE version for more features. To be honest, other than loading more books and having a few more themes to choose from, I think someone can get by using the free version. I don't see how the developer can claim the SE version is more feature rich. The bookshelf theme option is still limited to just two. Highlighting is still the same. You would think the paid version would have the ability to underline or strike through a sentence. What was most galling was the way the developer inserted a way to donate more money to the app in the form of a "gratuity". I just paid $6.99 and you want more money? If you only want to read one book at a time, stick with the free version.

I love the format of this reader. Especially the book theme. However I stopped using it for 2 reasons. The bar above is just too hard to read in night mode. And most importantly syncing is not an easy task. To down load a book I have to do it on both devices. Then I have to open each one and get pass the cover and extra pages to the contents page. Then I have to sync it. On my other devices e I have to sync it, I can read but before closing I have to re sync it. Nothing streamlined. Wish it flowed better because I really love the layout. I also have to recreate all my shelves and place books seperately into those shelves. Just wish it talked better between devices.

I just wanted a basic reader that actually worked, showed 2 columns in landscape, didn’t skew the words halfway off the page, decent font selection, and most of all keep track of where you are in the book when you turn off the iPad. You’d be surprised how many reader apps don’t do these basic things. Why doesn’t the iPad version have the “status bar always on” option? The iPhone version does have this option. I like to see the clock and battery while reading without having to tap in the center to see it and then tap again to go back to reading.

MapleRead is the kitchen-sink ebook reader. It does more than any other reader to accommodate my preferences: set white font on black background then adjust system brightness to achieve desired contrast, use minimal side margins but add paragraph spacing, organize in three dimensions (sort type, tags, sets), note categorization, share books between devices without having to involve cloud storage… etc etc. It does have some rough edges — you can’t have all those features available without that — but every feature, even the ones I never use, appear well thought out. And, after years of use, the app continues to improve. If you want an ebook reader that you control, this is your choice.

Being an avid reader, I routinely look for newer and better software to enhance the experience, but I keep coming back to Maple. Using Calibre’s opds server function, the link up between my laptop where the ebooks arrive and my phone where the ebooks are read is smooth and fast. There are enough options for font, size, layout, background, overall look of the app, how pages are turned, etc. to please anyone and the controls for them are quick and easy. There are lots of options for sorting and viewing multiple books so I can quickly find whatever I want from 3000+ titles. Navigation within books is easy and you can set bookmarks. Good, responsive support from the developer. Both thumbs up!

I tried several ePub apps before finding this gem. I like to have all my books on my Ereader (and there are thousands). I was very frustrated with the other ebook readers because after I bought a new iPad, I could only move 1 book at a time from Caliber. MapleRead SE has an option called PC Upload which allows me to upload hundreds at once. It only takes seconds. So easy. There might be a way using those other apps, but I couldn’t find it. This app is wonderful. I even had a question on how to do something, and Customer Service emailed me back on a Sunday. Can’t say enough good things about this app.

I was looking to replace Marvin Ereader which I’ve loved but now is no longer updated. MapleRead has all those features and I absolutely love it. It is top notch! The only reason I give it four stars is that it does not sync very well for me. It is inconsistent and a little confusing. Sometimes it does a perfect job and other times it doesn’t pick up the right place from the other device. It’s gotten frustrating for me, so that is my only complaint. Otherwise I would highly recommend getting this app.

I’m loving the app on my iPad Pro 13in (m5), and features are unlimited. Love that I can have my book read to me when I’m busy at home and can’t physically read. I also love the fact that I can pick classic book to transform my book into an actual look alike physical book. If it’s possible work on adding page turn sounds. Using the classic book feature and page turn sounds will most definitely take digital reading to another level. (my opinion) Endless features keep the updates coming!

Been using this app for years to read epub and PDFs with all the features I could ever want and easy to connect to Calibre to transfer books. I literally can’t think of any suggestions for improvement other than the recent update has removed the smaller UI scaling size I had before. If that could be re-implemented I would be so grateful. Thank you for continuing to update and develop this app! 💗 Update: UI scaling back with full settings like before! Very responsive developer. Thank you!

We’ve been waiting ages for a competent and well-designed iPad e-reader which handles both epubs AND PDFs. MapleRead SE finally ended this wait. By far the best and most elegant e-reading app available. Developer is active on the app’s mobileread forum thread and responds to bugs and feature requests promptly. He added “instant” page turns and two-page PDF viewing in Landscape, both of which are huge for us. I have NO affiliation with MapleRead whatsoever, just appreciate a great app when I see it (which isn’t very often). Worth $20 easy in my opinion.

First, let it be known, this is only my second review on the App Store in the past 20 years. In that period of time I have ventured to find an epub reader that would provide maximum utility, ease of library management and a user interface that is both pleasing to the eye and intuitively formatted. I have struggled over the years to manage my rather large e-book library, now exceeding 10,000 books. As you can imagine, the size of the library has posed many problems in the traditional Apple Books ((formally iBooks) application, which requires iCloud storage for there to be full and potentially ready Accessibility to books as required across devices. Unfortunately, iCloud has a notorious habit of, offloading books from the device to the cloud significantly encumbering accessibility to books as may be needed. Whether it be the extremely efficient library management, particularly of such a large volume of books, it’s ease, importation and exportation of books, the tailoring to personal needs as it relates to user interface (the ability to alter the size of the image or text when viewing the library, in list or grid mode, means to access meta data, change e-book covers, adjust title or author or series as needed), multiple options for customizing the organization of the library (by author, by title, date added/read/modified, series, and tags for grouping by topic or relevancy) or the reading experience (adjusting, text size, text in paragraph spacing, page look and feel/animation) [to name just a few] together with the developers ongoing and regular attention to an effort to maintain this application at the cutting edge of the e-book reading experience, there is nothing that holds a candle to this application anywhere, for any device, at any time past or present! Not withstanding all of my praise and merits of this application, two small tweaks to its interface and E pub reader would seal the deal: the option to “highlight” text with underlining as is offered in some other E pub readers, and a larger size size to the book covers viewable in the various collections and main interface. That being said, subsequent to my composing this review just over 30 days ago, the ability to change the scene when viewing Books in the various collections individually or collectively, no longer works, unless the viewing mode is switched to dark. I would hope product support and developers would look into this ongoing and disturbing irregularity as of late.

I am so excited that I can now listen to my favorite books! Any EPUB book can now become an audio book. How amazing! Thanks for adding this feature! Now I am listening while driving, exercising, etc. Just so useful! I love that there are many high quality voices you can download through the System Settings (Accessibility | Spoken Content). I suggest you download the Enhanced or Premium voices whenever available. They are very good quality and often exceed expectations. (My favorite voices are Nathan Enhanced and Samantha Enhanced.) Compare to many costly subscription-based reader apps (with much less features), this pay-once-only app is really a great deal. I’ve seen reader apps come and gone, or become abandonware. This app has been around for years and still being actively maintained and improved. Highly recommend.

With Apple’s Books having so many issues this last few weeks: I’ve once again gone looking for a replacement. I expected it to be temporary as it was a few years ago when Books’ issues were ignored for other things. This is one of the best software app readers I’ve used. Good: Loading is quick, faster even than Books which decompresses on transfer, not load like here. Super fast: even with multi hundred megabyte image sets. It loads quickly, recovers to last page accessed instantly. Stable, no crashes. Multi-font, multi-lingual: supports Noto, the largest multilingual font platform. Bad: Interface is unique. Totally unique. Importing books could be an issue for those with mesh or inconsistent wifi. No table blowout. Formatted tables must be panned inline. There’s no way to pull the table into its own screen display. TOC methodology is fairly limited. For those that read volume releases or news feeds, that’ could be a consistent annoyance. It appears to like only a flat TOC and anything more complex can confuse it. Ugly: The only real complaint. No continuous scrolling. I don’t really get this. The end of a “page”, you need to long press and swipe to move to the next. It appears the app implemented a block stop. This may or may not be the end of a page. See the TOC issue above. Final thoughts: I simply can’t understand the lack of continuous scroll. That makes no sense to me. Saying the interface is clunky and confusing is being kind. It’s definitely its own methodology. Once you figure it out and get the hang of it, it’s good. I mean real good! Everything can be more or less learned to muscle memory fairly quickly. I think they simply have an Apple or Microsoft moment here: it’s totally different. And you will need to learn it by trial and error. But I see the why in the design. The free trial is limited to 5 books. That absolutely must be increased for any large readers to get a full idea. 10 is passable for a good test run and 15 would cover a wide range of testing. Best reader I’ve tried so far. Definitely worth the cost (it’s under valued).

Love the app and its connectivity! I have a couple of upgrade wishes… I Wish for highlighter improvements, especially when operating in in Dark Mode. The Problem is that the text stays the WHITE FONT COLOR after you highlight and because of the bright highlighter color makes it difficult if not impossible to read. The whole point of highlighting is to make something easier to see, not harder. The simple suggestion is to Make the letters black font color when they are highlighted as this will at least render them readable with contrast. ALSO, can you add underlining? Double underlining, Curley underlining, all in multiple choice colors and bolding too? Great Job Developers!

My wonderful MapleRead app just recently started to opening to a black page when opening the app. Only with epubs. You tap the black screen and it goes back to the main library list, losing you the book you are in the middle of and having to remember which book you were reading and where in the book you are. Thanks.

I have a very large library of ~19,000 ePub and pdf books and articles. I used the PC upload and Calibre integration features to import them, and it works wonderfully! I absolutely LOVE this app. iBooks/ Apple Books is simply unusable at this point for a large collection of books. Your app lets me do everything l wanted to be able to do in managing my library. I am really thankful I found your app!

Phenomenal app that has everything I need in an iBooks replacement. I selfhost a Calibri content server and this works perfectly. The only thing the app was missing to me was the ability to have a custom background when using dark mode. So I emailed the developer and my feature request was implemented within a week. Thank you!

I'm telling you one thing over and over again: change your user interface. Your user interface looks old and outdated. It looks awful. You should implement iOS 26 “Liquid Glass” design in elegant and minimalist way.

I am switching to MapleRead to read epubs. I have much more control over how the text is displayed: I can choose from lots of fonts, and also line spacing, paragraph spacing, and between my choices and the publishers (interesting to see how I differ from most of them). It is satisfying to my eye to have the text adjusted just as I like it.

Don’t know why, it just feels more pleasant to read EPUB books in MapleRead than other readers. Its book sets and tags help me easily organize my huge library. It also works well with Calibre. Great coherent support for PDF too. Tons of features, yet it's easy to use. Simply the best e-reader that I’ve ever used. Highly recommended.

With the latest update, 75% of my 300 books are not listed by date added. They are all listed as added in 1969. Very frustrating. I love reading with this app and hope this can be fixed.

This app is nearly perfect for my ebook needs! I love that it can connect to my calibre server unlike so many other apps, and it works with epubs and pdfs. The only problem is that I can’t download any of my old scanned magazines that I out into CBR format.

Has all the features you would want, especially like the new addition of instant page turn option. However sync does not seem to be working

IOS 14 appears to have introduced a bug that makes it really hard to create notes. I look forward to an update :-)

I have vision impairment. This is the best app. Please add a feature to change the text color of PDFs in daylight mode. I will pay extra for that feature. Please implement this. Thank you!

I switch between iPad and iPhone all the time. Having to manually sync reading position is very frustrating.

I love this app but notes seem to be broken in iOS 14. I can make a note but then it moves after I create it. This happens consistently for me. Hoping an update will fix it.

MapleRead has incredible flexibility, customability and power; most importantly, it is actively supported when many similar apps have fallen by the wayside. Highly recommended.

I just got the app and I loved it ! I just wish there is free voices in this app.

Excellent app. I use it every day. I’m very happy they increased the size of the Description Edit box!!

MapleReads is in my opinion, the best books app I have come across to date. I have tried many of them, some have come close, but we’re deficient in very important aspects, but this app covers them all. It even syncs with Calibre which is another application that blows Apple Books out of the water. I’ve been an Apple customer since 1989, lived through its ups and then spectacularly idiotic downs. Since Catalina‘s demise both Books and Music , (formally known as iBooks and iTunes), have only become nothing more than front doors to Apple’s purchase and subscription services and nothing more. Apple has done nothing of meaning with those applications in roughly two decades, except to make them look cleaner and more attractive. Books is actually nothing more than a glorified but very limited database application. In the past ten to fifteen years their computers have become nothing more than glorified and expensive entertainment devices. Great if you want to stream movies, music, or peruse the internet mindlessly, but not much else. The operating system and applications may look pretty and well slicked but there has been no real progress or improvements in functionality. Bugs that have been reported for years go ignored and features that are requested are “piffled”at. In many ways it reminds me of windows do back in 2005. Their ecosystem imprisons you. Unless you are ok with doing things the way apple dictates, you will very quickly become frustrated. It was not nearly this bad a decade or more ago, but it’s all about funneling you into subscriptions and content purchases. In other words, becoming a human debit card for apple to live off of for the rest of your life if you’re silly enough to accept that. Third party apps do not work as well as they once did and it appears that there are increasing numbers of limitations and blocks to how they once worked with Apple’s devices. I would love to go on about iOS 16, but that would be repetitive. I suspect these issues with third party applications becoming more tedious and difficult to use is because whereas once upon a time, Steve Jobs had opened the OS to third party developers. However, the current CEO, Tim Cook has closed it again. Apple appears to be moving backwards toward an its business practices of the 1990’s. And we know just how well that worked out for them. MapleReads is phenomenal. I could write on and on about its many attributes, but your eyes would glaze over and all I can say is to simply download one of the smaller limited versions as I did and give it a chance. It offers an immense array of features and yet not so many that you would get lost in it.

First off, I like the app overall. I use it with my Calibre library and it works great. I have on occasion used the server function also but not that often. The interface is good but the tagging and organizing of the books in the app is definitely not intuitive. I have done a lot of Human interface design in my career and am confident that with a little work this part of the interface could be greatly improved. My biggest issue is the cloud sync. It doesn’t really fit what I would consider a typical use case for the app. The scenario it needs to handle is ‘the user has been reading a book on their iPad. They head out of the house without the iPad and find they have some time on their hands so they go to their iPHone and pull up the book, but it isn’t synced to their last position because they didn’t consider syncing the book on the iPad the last time they put it down’. Simple solution is to support auto cloud sync. It could be a user preference, but the book position would be updated whenever an appropriate event occurred - e.g., every 15 minutes, when the iPad is put in sleep mode, when the book is closed and another is open. I’m sure there are other events that would also make sense.

There aren't enough words to describe how much i hate the Apple Books App. What a piece of trash. Maple read SE is complicated but such an improvement. I can see my important books and documents on the first page and set up my very own tags. What a revolution! And thanks for eschewing the subscription model. That doesn't wash with me. Having said that: DUDE you need to learn how to design a GUI.

This is the ideal book reader for epubs and the most useful I have encountered for PDFs.

I buy DRM free epub tech books. These books have aside sections in them when they will show a command that you might type in on your computer. I have an iPad Pro — nice big screen with a good stand for landscape orientation. When I read my epub tech books in Apple Books, that text in those asides gets cutoff in landscape mode. Really weird because landscape is wider than portrait, but Apple Books INSISTS on putting 2 columns (or pages if you prefer) when in landscape orientation. I just wanted 1 column in landscape. Not Apple Books, or any of the other 6 or so readers I tried from the App Store would let me decide how many columns I wanted. This one did. It gets 5 stars because it’s the ONLY one. You might not agree with my assessment, but when you are trying to understand something technical, and the last detail is just cutoff, the irritation just compounds each time it happens. My search is over, and I can read in peace. Thank you.

Love this app. I finally found an ebook reader and server that has cloud syncing options. Great reading options, and has allowed me to put my icalibre catalog on my iPad and sync for my iPhone for reading.

Excellente application pour lire et annoter des epub ou des pdf. De plus, l'application permet d'ajouter des livres simplement (sur le même réseau wifi avec un ordinateur).

This app isn’t the best on the App Store, or my first choice, but it is a strong second, and looking for something to replace Marvin 3, it feels like this might be the only app of the bunch with a real shot at replacing it if given enough to get caught up in features. The good: - highly customizable. Marvin 3 users will recognize a lot of things they love. - Active development. - Lots of solid features already. The bad: - Missing a lot of features that would otherwise make it great such as auto-scrolling or updating your progress on Goodreads. - The interface could use a rethink. Many of the menus and locations for features could be better thought through. Developer should consider brushing up on best UX design practices. - Not the prettiest app on the market. The Ugly: - For some reason, you have to register an account with them in order to add books to your library, even locally. - The app does not make use of iOS’s local file explorer. This means that it can be a great hassle for users to add books into their library as you’ll have to go outside of the app to do so locally, or frustratingly, re-sign in to other external services that otherwise might already be attached and signed into your file explorer, such as Google Drive.

Still struggling to copy my over 3k of books library from my old iPad to a new one. Keep in mind, fellow readers, it is not easy. At all. Especially if you are not a computer geek, but a regular person who simply loves to read and collect books. Unlike other apps for reading, this one doesn’t allow to copy its content when you clone your old device via iCloud, you will be needing to do A LOT of painful movements. First, if your books are not from iTines, it won’t allow you to see your library via File Sharing. So, it’s not really an option. Second, if you think to do it thru MapleRead own server would be easy, guess what? It is not. They won’t even allow you to copy your whole library at once. So, instead of getting rid of my old device, I have to keep it around because it still stores all my books. What a disappointment.

I import books and some won’t show up on the shelf. If I try to import it again, it still doesn’t show up and says it’s duplicated. I also cannot open the book with the app but it opens normally on other apps. This doesn’t happen with all books and sometimes the app will function normally 1 day and then the next day a book will be missing. I wish Moonreader+ was on the app store because I hate this app. update: I am in the all books tab. I see the parenthesis say 8 books but it only shows 5 covers. It seems to only exclude pdfs. I have fixed this by immediately moving pdfs to a new shelf and tagging them after import. If I don’t, they do not show up on the shelf and I am not able to find them again once they are out of the queue.

There seem to be a lot of features, but the interface is very complicated and not intuitive. The first thing the app does when you open it is make you go to the help page. You can't even add a book that's stored on your iPhone from inside the app itself. I had to read the help page to learn this because I couldn't find any button at all for adding books. The layout defaults in the reading view don't seem quite right to me, but I'm used to Kindle.

Every time I try to create a new theme the app crashes. It crashes when I press background, text, and heading. Why when I add a picture there isn’t an option to set the picture’s opacity?The opacity included is only for text. Also, I selected an enhanced voice for audio, but when used by the app the voice sounds very robotic. There also isn’t an option to set the length of pauses between sentences. With that being said, how to use the app and its features is easy to figure out. I hope the issues above are corrected.

I love the reader. One of the best. Great options I plan on exploring soon. However, I depend on colors to identify answers in my ePub articles. I need at least four readily available highlighter colors when preparing lessons in ePub format on my iPad Pro. After highlighting a particular text I tap on "Mark" and it highlights nicely. But there’s only one available color for highlighting. I need a pop up box with at least four highlighting colors to choose from (instead of just one). This functionality shouldn’t be that difficult to make available to the end user. Many ePub readers provide this type of functionality. I’m really disappointed that the SE and CE combo apps I purchased from Maplepop LLC don’t provide this basic highlighting functionality so readily available in other ePub Readers.

The reader is great, one of the best available on iOS right now. If only the other features would also work properly, this app would easily be worth double the price, but they don't. Sync across devices doesn't work properly, the "download" button is missing completely on some devices for the same book and same calibre server, and so on. TL;DR great reader, poor implementation of other features.

Its too hard to get it back! I have been unableto move books from my computer to this app. The instructions have not been update for years (iTunes is no longer used to manage files on a device). I finally found books in a folder called iTunes, and they couldnt be opened or moved. I do not want to use the web-not all of us have easy access. I was hoping for a replacement for marvin, but it looks like I just wont update my ios ever again

I like to read in Landscape mode and if I use my iPad in portrait and then go to landscape and open the app the book never opens. I have to reboot iPad to be able to read. Although sometimes the paging just gets messed up. It splits the pages in the middle. I really like this app so much that I put up with this.

All I wanted was clear instructions how to transfer the same books downloaded onto my iPad's MapleRead SE app, onto my iPhone's MapleRead SE app. The Help FAQ leaves much unexplained. The Support team's condescending response was to direct me to the Help page, adding, "I encourage you to try things out and learn by doing." Using the app across devices should be way more intuitive.

Ironing out some sync and log-in errors, developers are helpful. Added a few errors of my own, now ironed out too, and all works fine. (But Dropbox import particularly is unbelievably clunky.)

— it’s almost perfect! You guys are amazing! I just have a small request: when reading PDFs, （for non-scroll-view mode）could you make the page margins black when the aspect ratio of the PDF doesn’t match the screen, just like in Apple Books? It would really help me focus better while reading. Thank you so much! 🙏 Realy， it worth 5 star.

Your program, Maplepop Reader, “looked” so interesting, so I downloaded it. . . I was Definitely interested in yourMain Program, Maplepop Reader SE, that I Bought It. OK So Far. . . Then I tried to Register It . . . . & EVERYTHING WENT SOUTH ! I put in my eMail Addr, a OTP, was sent, when I tried to put the OTP in the space provided ON PRIOR PAGE . . . It Disappeared. . . .F I X I T OR GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK !!! Pathetic ! I would have give a “0” or a “ “ but the it would no register!

Such a terrible app. Unintuitive, clunky, and does not work as expected. Total waste of money. Very disappointed.

I use this app for cookbooks but after the recent update there are many pages missing from books with many subchapters and the search function never leads me to the right place. This app was great but now it’s not really usable. Please fix!

Can’t read CBZ. A bit complicate app, but the one that was the closest to my need.

Please allow more fonts (user or built in) and margin settings ! Minus two for huge margins on top and sides like on iBooks.

This app doesn’t allow you to synchronize books or PDFs from iCloud which made it really inconvenient for me to use.

Recent app updates stoped passing through the word selection to a Google Translate in a pop up. You have to type the selection manually in a popup

More expensive than other readers and it does not work. Tried downloading books from Project Gutenberg and only one out of three would open. Tried getting books from Dropbox and it would not import any. It would start to import and then would fail. I tried it on about 20 different books that all work on other readers like Kybook and Marvin. I had high hopes for this app but it was a complete waste of money.

Over-priced, geeky, poor onboard instructions, each book needs to have it's user functions redefined, no FAQ, complex in a bad way, and it only has email support. NOT RECOMMENDED if you are looking for a plug and play app...steep learning curve....still prefer iBooks for all its faults.
