I've just updated Marvin...

• Important iOS 8 compatibility updates.
• Improvements to the rendering engine.
• Improved in-book text searching.

Happy reading!

Thank you! I left another 5-star review, as usual. I'm looking forward to the improved Dropbox integration.

Will Marvin be ready for any large-screened iPhones that might be released in the next two weeks?

Thanks a lot for your support!

Regarding the large-screened iPhone: More or less. All the code and layout is ready to handle larger screens (even a hypothetically larger iPad). However, no one really knows whether the image assets will have to increase to @3x or @4x. I have everything set up on my side so when I find out this evening, I'll compile the new assets in and ship an update as fast as possible.

Thanks for the update, I'll deal with it next time I get on my Ipad...

I'll be eagerly waiting! Marvin is the entire reason I pre-ordered the iPhone 6+. Since getting Marvin I do 90% or more of my reading on my iPhone. It made my iPad mini seem just too big to hold, but after holding a friend's 5.5" Samsung I concluded that's the perfect size to hold in one hand yet have enough screen real estate to read.

@Marcy - this is the status for the 6/6+...

At the moment, Marvin will work on the new iPhone 6 and 6+ in scaled mode. That means that the new devices will blow Marvin up to fit the screen (iOS does it quite well, no squashing). So, it will look ok(ish) but you won't get the benefit of the bigger screens over the 4" Marvin. Now...

From my end, I'm pretty ready to natively support the bigger screen sizes in Marvin but I don't really want to release it before I've seen it on a real device. I managed to order a 6+ within 2 minutes it launched so it should arrive soon (cross fingers) for me to do some proper testing before I can ship.

Damn, you are an ordering wizard. I sat there for an hour refreshing and just trying to get to the page. :-/

Am eagerly awaiting my 6+ to try reading on it. I think of the iPhone 6+ as a mini-mini-iPad, with LTE.
