The Goldilocks paradigm. Some readers are bare bones and some have more bells and whistles than I want to bother with, but Marvin 2 has all the things that are important to me. I have it set the way I like and it woks for me. YMMV

Do you think it would be blurry on the Mini 5?
- Should be fine. Iirc, it's resolutions introduced 2015 and newer that are blurry (the 12.9, 10.5 and 10.2 basically get a resized/resampled version of the 9.7"). Does it lose the page number and give "?" like 3? - As mentioned, I found 2 keeps reading progress better than 3. I've never gotten that "?" on either, though. |

So, new Calibre Companion arrived. And it wants money.
Fair enough. Development costs money. I subscribe to apps I value, and if nothing had changed besides that I would have shrugged and signed up. But they changed the app and, for me at least, it’s useless now. I connect to my Dropbox and look at new books. I get a list of... not the last six, it’s missing the books I added today. But the next-to-last books. And only six of so, I scroll down and they just repeat over and over. I tapped one and tried to download it, and I get an error that the metadata is wrong and it can’t be downloaded. Tried to go back and the new books screen is now empty. If I go back to the main menu and come back in, I get the abbreviated list again and apparently none of my books can be downloaded, even books I’ve downloaded before. I’ve rebooted my phone (iPhone 11, latest iOS). No luck. I’m ready to pay for it but I’ll probably just delete it now. Any fixes coming? |

i paid for the old premium version, why I have been reverted to trial???
I bought the premium application several years ago while it was developed by another company. Now, with the latest upgrade by the new developer, this application reverted to a trial version, asking for a subscription fee. I understand that the new developer wants to move to a subscription model to found the development. Nevertheless, it should have done that by creating a new app and leaving the old one unmaintained. I am not sure that the operation performed by the developer complied with the terms of the App Store. In any case, I consider it quite inappropriate. I urge to have my application (the one that I pay for) back. If not I am gong to escalate the issue to Apple.

Perhaps it would have been better to release it as CC 2, kind of like Marvin went from Marvin 2 to Marvin 3, because it is a complete rewrite, but you can't go back in time. If you want to use it for free, well they have said that it's going to revert to an ad based free app for those you don't want to pay. |

This is a case they violated terms of sale by the way they did it. As suggested, there were other ways that left existing users as is (was before the fiasco). |

Coming after me and crippling already paid for software because you want a subscription is extremely dirty business. Escalating with Apple on this. |
