Here are the issues I am having with MapleReader:
1. Doesn't seem to pull the Series / Series Number metadata by itself. If I download a series, that information is blank, but if I do Long Press > Get Info > Edit > Click Series / Volume > Restore from Book it retrieves the correct Series / Volume... I just can't be asked to do that for all my books, or even a series of books every time I read one, it's very tedious. Does anyone know how to make it just pull that metadata by itself?
I should note that the above is true for EPUB2. For EPUB3, if I try the same I get a popup saying "No pertinent embedded metadata is found". Granted I have not found any of the other apps that would read Series / Series # from EPUB3.
2. One of my book covers shows up shrunken compared to the other ones; I tried different image sizes in Calibre and delete / redownload book, didn't seem to help.
3. On the main screen for Sort, I selected Author + Series. This seems to be correct, except it's using Author instead of Author Sort (e.g. Brent Weeks instead of Weeks, Brent). This one is the most minor, but if anyone knows a way to get the behavior I want I'd appreciate it.
4. When reading a book, if I click A > More and enable Header, Footer, disable Dim Header / Footer, Center Header / Footer, Progress Bar, Whole-Book Page Numbering, I'd expect to see basic header / footer like the book's title in the Header and the page number out of the whole book in the Footer, with a progress bar if I click on it. I don't see either a header or footer at. Can anyone help with this?
Other than those issues above MapleReader seems pretty great; I love that when you are downloading from OPDS you can just go to a Series, then click Download > All > Bulk Download and it downloads all at once (though I do dislike that it takes me out of OPDS to the download Queue). The UI is a bit weird, like the "flipping between" button in the top left, etc.
I'd appreciate any help, as I'm trying to get my library sorted out and finally put in the effort to download / fix consistent covers.

I am thinking 2 and 3 may have been just my brain playing tricks.
I have sorted out number 4; it turned out I had to increase the vertical margin enough for those things to show up.
Still haven't found a solution for 1 though.
