I've now played with Marvin for the past hour or so, and there is no doubt...
It is a VERY fine reading app! Stitchawl |

Yay!!! I can't wait to start using Marvin! I've had it on my iPad for a while now, but I haven't really used it much since I read on my iPad and iPhone equally. At this time iBooks is the best app for me. iBooks is a dumb app, but sync trumps all. I can't use any ereading app that doesn't have a sync capability no matter how awesome the app is. And Marvin is a really, really awesome app.
BTW, I'm so glad Marvin is getting a new icon. I understand the significance behind the glasses icon, but I always thought the icon needed a makeover. |

Exciting! I can't wait...
Question: Is it a universal app, or a separate app? Also... just a quick bit of feedback. Looking at your webpage and saw this picture: http://media.tumblr.com/5a455d1817dc...eRl1qz4rgp.png It should read "Try to...?" ("and" --> "to" && . --> ? (I believe it's asking a question)) |

@Stitchawl: Of course, I think it is better Marvin for iPad was and will remain free for the foreseeable future. Why don't you download it and take it for a spin? If you have difficulties, I'm more than happy to help. You can also check out some change logs and tutorials on blog.marvinapp.com to get an idea.
@everyone: Thanks a million. Again, I have to say thanks to all of you guys on MR - a number of cool features I added over the past 9 months were your great ideas. Last edited by kguil; 09-03-2013 at 05:05 AM. Reason: Typo |

Everything I've found so far has been well thought out and nicely designed. Certainly easy enough to use without needing a set of instructions in my other hand to use it. I'm sure as time goes on I'll discover quite a bit more that will be useful to me with Marvin. It's a fine program! Stitchawl |

@twowheels: M for iPhone and iPad will be two separate apps. The reason is that M for iPhone requires iOS 6 or better and I want M for iPad to work on iOS 5 devices too. This also allows keep M for iPad free and feature-complete.

@twowheels: re "try" and "try to", you're right. I'll fix that.

New logo
While the new logo is nice (big M for Marvin stylized as an open book), I must be the only person outside of Kris who liked the old one. It was distinctive - it was very easy to pick out from the plethora of simple icons that dot my iPad.
Oh well - the red background is still distinctive! |

I think the new design is clever and certainly more 'sleek' - it's just not as distinctive to my eyes. But really, if that's the only thing to complain about...

There are many things to complain about, but one step at a time... Releasing the iPhone version is a HUGE step forward.
