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
inexplicable porcupine,
Great app! a few small changes would be nice
This app is awesome! I use it to read fanfiction that I download from AO3 as epubs. Works great and i love the dark mode. One thing that would be nice to change is, when you finish reading a epub, the main screen still shows 99% complete, or sometimes 98% or less if its a really short epub. It'd be nice if it said 100% or Finished (since i got to the end and marked it as finished). Just a little thing :) Also the tag system is kind of confusing and im not sure how to add tags to a book. I ended up just using Subjects to add tags, since they show up in the "Subjects and Tags" view, and thats basically what I needed. I couldn't find instructions anywhere on how to use the tags, that would be super helpful. Thank you for making this app, I really love it!
Furrawn,
The best e-reader since Stanza
I love this app. Easy. Functional. Classic layout. Intuitive design. Fast. Any book seems to load flawlessly and effortlessly.
I am mystified as to why there are only 14 reviews. I saw where one person said the developer had given up on the app. I can only say that I very much hope that is wrong and that the developer is very much still involved. I’d hate to think this app might not work eventually.
I run this app on an iPhone XS MAX and also on a first year iPad Pro. The app runs flawlessly on both.
I used Stanza long long ago when us early adopters knew every app in the tiny app store. I’ve used other apps since Stanza’s demise. I used iBooks a lot, but this last iOS was the final straw that pushed me to no longer use iBooks except to import web stuff as a pdf. iBooks constantly loses every book when updated. It no longer allows you to copy things from it in iTunes. Instead of getting broader and more open, iBooks gets more and more limited. I’ve searched for what feels like eons for an app that I fully trust and love. Fir me, that’s this app.
If the developer keeps the app updated, I’d happily pay $9.99 for this. Yep. It’s that great.

bhfallingstar22,
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
A®man,
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!

LASoundCrafter,
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!
mysticzzz,
Has a bug
Works better than apples built in ebook program. But i did find a bug where it skips a couple paragraphs when using the tex to speech function. It will do this at the beginning of new chapters.
PaulWDG,
Great app, just one bug.
My go-to e-reader. Excellent. Tons of features. Just one bug: When I highlight some text, sometimes the text disappears. I need to close the app and re-open to see the highlighted text again.
KyteFeather,
Pleasantly surprised with OPDS support
I can pick books from my calibre server from anywhere with an internet connection!
zentros,
Still the best.
No updates usually means the app has been abandoned. With Marvin it means the app is just perfect.
