ShuBook 1F App Reviews

Looked at 10 readers after not being able to use Stanza after ios 5.0. This is without a doubt the best of them all IMO.

Free version removed import from itunes and made the program useless. To be fair, the paid version is pretty good.

Why did you disabled vertical layout, its really lame! I used to like this app and would give you good rating until you disabled the feature, big dislike!

I totally agree with people above. I used to love this app and recommended to couple friends. But now it suddenly starts to charge for the same old functions. Very unpleasant.

This app is great!I love it!

Cant adjust margin (I like white on black with zero pixels of page margin). Cant remove chapter-page number & status bar. Its also strange that the text comes up green & in another font when I try selecting anything.

Just purchased and I love this app. Ive already purchased package A. Finally an app (almost) as good as Stanza was..4 stars. Since the developer is open to feature requests, I emailed the following requests: 1. Ability to add multiple labels or read the Subject tags of an ebook. (like Stanza). 2. A way of determining if youve read a book or not (like Stanza). 3. In addition to showing how many pages are in a chapter, also show how many pages are in the whole book (like iBooks). 4. Make the page swipe animation more like iBooks. All in all, though, a fine product.

Ive used Stanza for years and realize that its on its last legs. ShuBook is as good as Stanza, and in some cases, better. Ive tried all of them, and only ShuBook provides a pleasant, uncluttered UI and powerful feature set.

This is the reader I use the most, I cant live without it.

Seriously, you guys are doing great.

Bought the add-on to read some large drm-free mobi files; it refused to import them. Used Calibre to convert them to epub format; ShuBook then read the (four) files. However, I also imported them into iBooks, and iBooks did a far better job displaying the contents. ShuBook did not get the links and navigation right; iBooks did. (I made the comparison to ensure that there was nothing wrong with the original files.) For me, ShuBook is not a Stanza replacement at all, but a waste of $1.99 for the add-on. Ill probably try it on a few more things to see if it does anything well, but I fully expect to be deleting it in the near future.

Lock page orientation no longer work with the latest update. Otherwise a fantastic reader.

Dont even Know how to use

Ive been seeking an ereader alternative since iOS 5 broke Stanza and ShuBook is almost as good. I dont see an option to make annotations but hopefully that will come along, plus I miss not being able to just pinch the screen to adjust font size. It was a great relief to access all my books via Calibre and to read comfortably again, but Ill always mourn Stanza and still hope beyond hope itll be resurrected. Another Stanza feature I dearly miss is the ability to have an alternate color scheme for night reading. Two annoying ShuBbook functions are case-sensitive searching and the 2-step process to select a single word for copying. There are other pros and cons but overall my opinion is that ShuBook earns 5 stars on its own merit.

I like the brightness change in previous version where only this app is affected when you vertically swipe. Now it changes the brightness of the entire phone. This is a very silly idea. Wanting to read book with dimmed brightness doesnt mean I want to dim the entire phone. How to restore old brightness settings? Otherwise a great app!

Ive tried all of the ebook readers on the app store. This is the best, most flexible one. Now that youve fixed the brightness option again, its perfect. Maybe add more fonts?

Update- always loved this app but the new update is great! Frequent updates are a plus! Ive tried all the readers in the appstore to find a suitable replacement for Stanza and this is it. The other apps left me frustrated but this one is amazing. The developers have updated app frequently- including issues previously noted- and I hope this trend continues. Only couple things missing- Ability to reorder books under subheadings of groups, Ability to save created color/font schemes. Overall great app!

This is a good app

I could upload at least one of my own titles to see how they present in the app. I do like the direct links to Gutenberg, Internet Archive and the other sources but.....

Request: Please add cloud storages capabilities to make this great book reader even better.
