Marvin - the ideal reader for iOS
Ios Technologies / / December 19, 2019
I do not like iBooks. Not like before, when he was in the old design, and now, with the advent of iOS7-interface, like even less. After a long search for alternatives, I stopped at the BookmateBut recently released eReader Marvin at times ahead of all its competitors, and I'll tell you why.
Marvin made in iOS7-style. Despite the fact that I was scolded for iBooks new flat interface, the interface I like Marvin. I do not know why, but there it looks much more pleasant than in iBooks. Strange, is not it?
The main feature of Marvin is that everything, absolutely everything, can be customized. Here are the settings that can be changed. I really liked the fact that the app can sync with your Dropbox, and, in addition to the synchronization read position, you will be able to fill the book directly in Dropbox, and Marvin will immediately pull them out.
Here is the main application screen. It shows the book you are currently reading and you swipe to the left, move to the previous book. Bottom menu allows you to share this book with your friends on social networks or by mail. That is, you can simply send the book to his friend, and it is easy to load it in Marvin. Apple-art will rejoice owners.
There are several color the Annex. Standard, red, is given immediately, the blue (most enjoyable) can be opened by signing up for Twitter applications, and all other colors are opened for the money.
The interface can be configured read everything. Well, almost all. Gestures, text and background colors, fonts, sizes, spacing - all of this is customizable to your liking.
Here is the reading interface. The upper and lower bars are removed. On the top bar located: exit the menu, go to content, Deep View function (looking for the most interesting content of the book - names, places, characters and more, but it works only in English), a timer, a reminder of how long you're reading, and bookmarks. On the lower bar - search, settings sliders for brightness, contrast and softness, as well as synchronization of reading position.
Until recently, the application existed in two versions: free and paid for the iPad for iPhone. Now, the app can be downloaded in two generic versions, one free and one paid. I do not understand the difference, but the developer says that the future owners of the free version will not be able to receive updates. Like it or not - we learn later.
Overall, this eReader definitely deserves your attention. From the moment Stanza (really old reader for iOS) ceased to evolve, it is probably the first app that can fully replace it.
