The current 1.0 version has iPad support. There isn't a separate iPad build.

That’s good to know that when the fixes are made (soon hopefully) that the iPad version will also get the fixes.

Not when I'm reading. Only if I press on the middle which distracts from my reading flow.

Now working.

On my iPad it’s there without tapping anything, but there are some settings that can be enabled to show or hide things. I think show status bar is the one, it shows time, battery etc.

Does version 1.1 fix all the issues we've brought up in this thread since the initial release?

And as for your questions:
- lifetime discount is there, that was the bug in 1.0.
- No hyphenation: you have to disable publishers mode
- No line height adjustment so I cannot decrease the line height: you have to disable publishers mode
- the line height is too large: you have to disable publishers mode
- Vertical and horizontal margins are incorrectly reversed: vertical are left/right and horizontal top/bottom
- The top/bottom margins are wrong. The bottom margin is OK, but the top margin goes to the top of the screen and the bar on the screen obscures some text. The default T/B margins should have the text before the bar and at the bottom of the screen. So I have extra space at the bottom of the screen because I have to have a top margin to make the text below the bar. I have room for at least two lines (well it would be two lines if the line height was not so large). What 'bar on the screen' do you mean?
- Does not respect the metadata in the font for rendering the lien height by default
The line height is too large. It should be (by default) using the font's line height metadata
Aa is where the font size should be found do not understand you here
- Alice in Wonderland is said to have an error at the beginning of the book so it's not rendering something correctly Thank you for this

Also
- And one other thing, if line height is off, let the metadata for the font decide the line height.If line height is off, you have publishers style and it dictates how it looks
- Whehn adjusting the brightness, please don't use haptic feedback.Well that was the feedback from TesatFlight from multiple users to ADD it, so users know they are changing it
- As for the vertical margins, please make then individually adjustable so we can adjust for the top and bottom margins separately. This will solve the problem with the status bar.
Also, by default, the top margin should not be so high that text is under the status bar. Great idea, going to next version

Also
-Title/author does not show up while reading, only if I press on the middle and also get the settings bar. Also, Title and author could show on one line instead of 2. This is on purpose, because on iphone you have a lot less space, when there will be additional lines for author, title, series and chapter, its four additional lines. Also when author and title will be on one line, it will be really truncated a lot on iphone portrait. But I am open to any ideas in here, anything is possible, I just want to see all angles: ipad, iphone, landscape, portrait
-Can't find the setting to change from the white text on black to black on white. The little round dot on the left of the settings don't appear to change anything. Two colored circles on bottom left, one for text color, the second one for background
-I would like to tap both on the left and on the right to go forward, instead of tapping on one or the other. (depends on how I'm holding the tablet).OK and how will you go back, when both will be for forward?
-Justification appears to turn on or off when changing vertical or horizontal spacing. I'd prefer to choose.Can you please contact me with this, I do not understand properly this problem
-Landscape mode. I was adding and subtracting space on vertical and horizontal and the two columns in Landscape turned into only one and I couldn't get it to go back to 2. Can you please contact me with this, I do not understand properly this problem

As for...Vertical and horizontal margins are incorrectly reversed: vertical are left/right and horizontal top/bottom.
Now i get it, it is reversed in portrait mode, but in landscape it is ok. Fixed with 1.2, which contains also all these:

- Library Statistics: New statistics sheet showing book counts, annotations, storage info, and iCloud sync toggle
- Keyboard Shortcuts for IPAD: Full keyboard support for the reader (Cmd+B bookmarks, Cmd+T table of contents, Cmd+F search, Cmd+H highlights, Cmd+/- font size) and global tab switching
(Cmd+Shift+1/2/3)
- Remembers Your Tab: Selected tab persists across app launches
- Better iPad Support: Fixed popover sizing in Split View and Stage Manager, proper window-size adaptation replacing device checks
- iCloud Sync Improvements: Books you delete stay deleted (no more ghost restorations), sync errors are now logged instead of silently ignored
- Performance: Cached haptic generators, library URL resolution, directory listings, and reader color scheme; reduced iCloud polling frequency; single-pass library sorting
- Accessibility: Reduce Transparency support for sheet backgrounds, Reduce Motion support for onboarding/paywall animations, adaptive progress dots
- Bug Fixes: Fixed toggle tint in reader settings, navigation glitches in bookmarks/highlights sheets, widget date encoding, and enrichment banner sizing

See post #128 for the screen grab I posted. It shows the progress bar at the bottom and the space between the bar and the text.

• Hyphenation should be on/off irrespective of publisher mode.
• When in publisher mode, the line height is too large because it's not respecting the metadata of the font being used. I'm using ChareInk6SP on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. But you can test this with ChareInk7SP as it has the extract same metadata. ChareInk7SP can be had from the first post at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=184056
• The margins are incorrect. Vertical is up/down and horizontal is left/right.
• When I first installed the app and first opened a book, the margins were very much incorrect. The top margin went all the way to the top of the screen and under the dynamic island so so text was obscured by the dynamic island. The bottom text went right to the progress bar and that was good. But when I had to change the top margin to move the text below the dynamic island, it also raised the bottom margin away from the progress bar and left space that could have included more line(s). This is why the top/bottom margins need to be separated so we can adjust for the dynamic island without changing the bottom margin.

• The font's metadata should dictate how large the line height is if there is no line height specified. That is not happening as ChareInk6Sp and ChareInk7SP have metadata that specified a smaller line height then is being displayed in publisher mode or is allowing in the line height setting. Also, WHEN I set the line height smaller, some of the lines line height are incorrect (so screen grab in post #128).
• It's not the vertical margins that need to be made individual, it's the top/bottom margins so we can adjust for the dynamic island without increasing the bottom margin.
