iOS 16 bug

Please please please update this app to be compatible with iOS 16. Especially the annotation function. When selecting an area and trying to mark it, can’t find the mark icon!!! And can’t choose the color as well. The icons are all gone. It’s different from what I used before. Please fix the bug!!!

Watch-out, not compatible with iOS 16!

I’ve loved using Marvin for years, but iOS 16 broke Marvin. The pages freeze, and only reboot when you reboot the iPad. This behavior is especially noticeable when looking up a word by pressing on the word for a definition. The developer has been MIA for years, but Marvin has been OK till know. The last update was 5 years ago, Marvin needs work! Bring back the developer to make an update!

This application is wonderful, but the most important thing for me is the searching inside the book especially I merge several parts of books in one folder, which makes the searching somewhat take a long time 6-7 minutes if the folder has involved in 26 texts book to complete searching in all these texts books. In another hand there is a pros one feature in this searching has to excel on searching in the pocketbook app. That is the results of searching has consequent in the list hasn't prevent you from paging the different parts of the folder without this list has disappeared, and you still able to

Still the best.

No updates usually means the app has been abandoned. With Marvin it means the app is just perfect.

Epub Perfection!

Being an ebook nerd, i’ve never seen any software with proper integration and equal support for PDF & Epub. This one focuses on Epub, and you may need to install a secondary app for the sake of compatibility with PDF files. But as a former blind Apple fan, i must confess that Marvin more than solves the foolish functionality incompetence of Apple Books, while having a better overall UI design from my point of view. The only thing that worries me is that the developer calls it Marvin 3, which raises the question on wether one can own a lifetime usage license of it with a onetime purchase or not. Assuming the developer stays content with the current payment policy, i would give it 5 of 5, because it is in many aspects really close to an Epub perfection. Thank you!

Developer still here?

Its a great app but seems developer abandoned it years ago. Latest updates were more than 3 years ago. This app has potential to be even greater as iOS updates change. Developer please don't abandon this app
