Marvin 3.1 latest update completely trashes library.
This is a warning. If anybody has Marvin 3.0 on new iPhones 8s Plus or have the latest update on their iPhones will not be able to download anything from Dropbox or get new ebooks on Marvin. In fact if you try to transfer ebooks to Marvin 3 this way it will endlessly cycle trying to download the ebooks and will fail. When you try opening Marvin 3.0 again, it tries to locate the library you already have installed and won't update correctly. You see the black screen and a circle saying it's trying to find your library. You won't be getting that library back. I've tried this several times by deleting Marvin 3 and reinstalling Marvin 3 on my iPhone 8.0 S. with the latest iOS updates and even trying to put ebooks back on one at a time. A simple ebook with just 560 K in size fails to install on Marvin 3. My entire ebook library has been trashed. I was forced to downgrade and go back to Marvin Classic. Thank God for that because it was able to update and download ebooks correctly into the library without any problems. I must say however this issue doesn't seem to affect Marvin 3.0 on iPads. I don't know why...but the iPad versions of Marvin seem unaffected by this bug. However until there's an update addressing this issue...I reccomend anybody with Marvin to NOT install or put any new ebooks into Marvin 3 until there is a serious update to fix this really bad bug. Kris needs to hear about this bug IMMEDIATELY.
Correction: you cannot use Dropbox within Marvin Classic anymore because Dropbox changed their API for synching. So the only way you can use Marvin Classic is by installing Dropbox on the iPhone and using it to find ebooks you like and then exporting them to Marvin Classic. But you can also transfer ebooks to Marvin Classic with the iOS feature called Airdrop. That's another workaround.
