Marving Classic is Excellent
Marvin classic is an excellent ereader. Far better than the top ereaders.
United StatesOops, Code=400
I downloaded the free version onto my iPhone to read an ebook in Dropbox. When I connect to Dropbox, I get an “Oops” with a code 400. I can’t find anyplace to report errors.
United StatesDont bother
This app is severely crippled. you can only see the first book in your "library".
United StatesStupid way to force buying
I was using the free version and now you losers remove all my books from the library and I need to delete a book to read another?!!! Well, this gets thrown in the rubbish bin where it belongs, other ebook apps out there.
United StatesHighlighting is painful
Why highlighting is so hard? Everything else is awesome. The reading experience is by far the best in the market. However, for those who love highlighting, it is really painful. Please, fix that just copying iBooks. Then, you would be 5 star. Otherwise, unfortunately, I need to use another app.
United StatesLook promising
I have downloaded the app on both an iPhone 6s and iPad 3. I'm going to review Marvin for both and state difference when they are. After upgrading my Phone to 6s I noticed the absence of Stanza. A couple of blog pointed Marvin as a replacement of it so I have installed and use it. It has very good features to configure books for reading from swipe up/down to easily change brightness and two fingers to change the "temperature" of background. It's functions allows to maximize the character per pixel, meaning that you can use the whole device screen for reading to a good extent. Certainly better than iBooks, but the header and footer area is not removable, unless you can diminish its brightness and make it invisible, the area is not claimed for reading. The iPad version has additional multi touch controls not available on the iPhone and some controls are in different location. In general is a good idea to differentiate devices functionality. Caliber connection is a bit tricky since it doesn't work from the "Get Books/Calibre" it is required to go to "Get Books/OPDS/Local Network/Calibre" which is 2 additional clicks and tricky. I still don't understand why it has two methods. I'm still evaluating before purchase the paid version. I will give five stars if the following is included (in order of importance): 1. Use of iCloud to sync reading for different Apple devices. iOS users already have an iCloud account. Why is then required to open a Box account? I know is free, but there is just another password to remember and an additional step to configure if you upgrade your device. After updating a device, there is a sense to the user of which applications use iCloud and how they seamless port all settings beautifully. I do suggest to have the option for cloud services (Box or iCloud) to sync: reading progress, complete books, a none (settings only). I understand that might be users of different platforms but they are the minority. Once a user experience iOS it is most likely that if it has multiple devices they will be iOS as well. 2. The ability to read PDFs. GoodReader will be the benchmark in this area. I was surprised Marvin didn't have this capability. 3. 3D touch. I do suggest to have a quick shortcut for the following: - Current Reading - Current Cover Reading - Library - Sync Reading (force all devices to sync progress even if on blocked screen).
United StatesOverly Broad Dropbox Access
The app asks for complete Dropbox access; this is unacceptable. A single folder, sure, but complete access is just not ok for a third party app.
United States
- Improved reliability of large backups. If you have a moment, please remember to rate and review Marvin. It really helps a lot. Happy reading.
