Trauma Doll, if you're interested in beta testing, I still have a couple of slots available. It should just be a couple of minutes to get the uuid.

PM'd you (thanks Faterson for the iTunes clue), let me know if you need the info via a different medium.

kguil · 01-08-2013, 01:18 PM

That's fine Trauma Doll. I'll write you soon.

If you choose to hide the status bar while reading in Marvin, will it also suppress notifications? Anyone know?

Faterson · 01-09-2013, 01:17 AM

Do you mean iOS notifications? No, they still appear as expected, popping up either in the center of your screen or at the top, depending on your iOS Settings. Marvin's own notifications appear, too (such as the 15/30/45/60-minute timer).

kguil · 01-09-2013, 02:34 AM

Notifications will appear normally.

thanks you for this really clean / fast app, love it.

I'm waiting the own OPDS browse and it will be the perfect app in replacement of ibook

thank you !

kguil · 01-09-2013, 05:19 AM

Thanks Gaspine. Glad you like it.

MeSue · 01-09-2013, 11:35 AM

It's probably not allowed by apple, but wouldn't it be cool if you could disable notifications on a per app basis? Like turn off notifications while Marvin is active. Just dreaming on that one, I suppose...

kguil · 01-09-2013, 11:37 AM

I'm not sure there is a method to do that. I'll look around, but as you say, I'm sure apple won't like it.

You (the user) can do this, through the settings app.
I'd be very surprised if kguil (as an app developer) was allowed to change another app's notification setting.

I don't think it's possible to accomplish what MeSue mentioned ("turn off notifications while Marvin is active").

Yeah, I know... Just dreaming, really. Problem is, I turn them off and then forget to put them back on. But, now that I think about it... I can probably reduce my notifications on the iPad since I get a lot of the same ones on my phone.

I did an article on Marvin. Would love your comments!

A very nice, meticulously crafted review "from the forest".

And the title says it all! I wanted to leave some feedback right there, but Safari on iPad seems to have a problem with the comments input field on that page.
