So I really appreciate you for letting us know about the bugs. Every few months, I check in here if the latest IOS is still compatible
For now I'll stick to ios 18.
I know we should be using other apps by now but Marvin is still the best app for my use. I would pay for any great ebook reader but not subscription or paying for cloud usage. I'm hoping by the time my phone needs to upgrade, Apple Books will be much better

- The font size is reduced to very small regardless of you changing the size within Marvin. FIX: Go into the Aa settings and turn ON the "Uniform text size" selector. That will allow adjusting text size, but it also messes with any css that would increase font size, such as initial drop caps.
- In paginate mode tapping on the edge of the screen to go forward/back will zap to the beginning of the next or previous chapter. You will also be stuck within a two chapter range and not be able to read anything but the first page of the two chapters...  FIX: Select "Vertical scroll" in the PAGE LAYOUT section of the book settings. I actually prefer vertical scroll as I can set an auto-scroll and adjust the speed to my reading rate with a simple gesture - no more "tapping thumb"!
That's what I've found so far. If you see any other issues caused by iOS 26, or if you find a better way to fix these two issues, please let us know here. Please avoid saying which of your favorite apps we should switch to, this thread is how to keep Marvin working! |
