Marvin 3 and iPad Pro 10.5
I'm thinking of getting this model of the iPad. Can anybody tell me if the new iPad size will require a refresh on pixel size in Marvin 3 to accomodate the new dimensions or is Marvin 3 ready to go as it is right now? Thanks.

I'm referring to the overall appearance of the iPad Pro 10.5 size and whether Marvin 3.0 will be able to scale up to the new size without leaving either black bars on the side or cheezy pixels on the app itself if it doesn't get a pixel density refresh when Apple packs more pixels per square inch on the new display. That's what I'm talking about.

You can try to install the free version of Marvin in-store and see. I've done that at several retail outlets - including apple store. Worst case ask the customer rep to install for you. They'll do almost anything for a sale!

Can you tell me if Marvin is designed for the ultra big 12 size version of the iPad Pro because the 10.5 is the smaller one that's being released.

Yes, Marvin uses the full resolution of the 12.9 iPad Pro (I have the 1.Gen).

I've got my answer then. I now have the go ahead signal to purchase the iPad Pro 10.5. If the answer had been no on the Marvin issue alone I wouldn't even bother thinking about a purchase.

There are many great reading apps that can take advantage of the full resolution of ALL iPad and iPad Pro models.

It's kinda sad when people post almost exclusively about "their favorite reading app" on a different app's forum. It's like they are an employee of said "favorite reading app" and are just trying to troll for advertisement...
