Thanks ackomb.
We have tons of Calibre users so you do not speak for them all and in fact prioritize their needs. But the service we provide cannot be free. There are other apps like Marvin, Kybooks and several others but don't expect them to be maintained.
A one off app cost is the actual reason why Marvin 3 and other apps have been abandoned. It is not feasible nor is it reasonable. Developers have to spend full time working on the apps to ensure they continue to work as changes are made in iOS and adding new features. However, they're living expenses, health care, children school fees and life in general does not have a one off cost for developers.
Users of the apps then intend to continuously want new features, improvements and that it works on the latest OS and so on. It is easier to simply stop and focus full time working on something else or for someone else.
As we do not sell ads or monetize reader data in any way to ensure we protect our readers privacy we are a paid service. We offer a free plan with 10 books with all features unlocked. BookFusion is not for everyone and that's okay. If you do have actionable feedback though we are all ears.
