  • Works perfectly

    Was able to push documents from my phone (via Files) to my Lumi. Quick and easy so far.
  • Wechat login problem

    It won’t let me log in via my wechat account so I can’t download any books from my phone to my leaf.
  • Limited, but good

    Notes are viewable on iOS and iPadOS devices, and editable on the latter.

    Being able to push files and photos from my Apple devices to my Onyx BOOX device is really convenient. From those files I’ve created multi page templates and I used one photo as my device screensaver, in addition to the several ebooks (non-DRM PDF and EPUB) I was able to push across.

    In short this app has everything I would expect from an iOS/iPadOS app supporting a third party service and device.

    I’d normally give an app 5 stars only if it did something amazing and unexpected, but in this case I don’t know if that’s fair b/c given how the Apple ecosystem works, the developers of this app are limited in what additional features they can add without collecting a lot of data about end users and their devices. I really appreciate the respect of privacy.
  • Would be awesome if it actually worked.

    I can’t even connect the phone. Won’t send me the verification code. App is really really buggy too. Complete trash.
  • Poor software

    I have a BOOX Lumi and also a RM2. It’s clear BOOX is much more functional but I find myself reaching out a lot more to my RM because BOOX had such poor software — unintuitive and even difficult to transfer just a PDF. Can’t drop it directly to the app on iPhone??? Can’t send it back? If it takes me ten pushes to do that, then I’ll be going to the three pushes required for RM. I’ve no plan to upgrade my BOOX on the horizon if BOOX doesn’t do better on the GUI.
  • Can’t access notes

    On iOS
  • It works

    This is awesome! Could be better, of course. I’d love to have access to my highlights, for example.
  • So much potential

    Please add boox to the share options from Safari. We should be able to share a webpage link directly from the share sheet. Currently we have to copy the link, go to the boox app and paste it there
  • Please Continue to Update

    Hopefully Boox will continue to update this as it looks like it hasn’t been updated in months. It still works pretty well.
  • Very Limited Function

    Displays notes in iPad app but not in iPhone app. Can’t edit notes in the iPad/iPhone apps; only view them or delete them.
