Does what needed
Can find older magazines very easily. Much easier to copy and paste now. More stable . Excellent reference on phone.
Cloud file management.
Re post my previous review, obviously cloud integration has not been done, but I hope it can be introduced at some stage. Is there any reply to this from the developer?
Great app, have used it since Palm handheld days, have a significant library built up and use it daily mainly for spiritual books, bible etc. I use it on PC, phone and tablet. I wonder if the developers can integrate a cloud server function though, because docs and Annotation files don't sync across devices, this would take the app to the next level!

Rly rly rly rly good
Its really good
AWESOME APP AND THANK YOU
I've been using this app since the days of my trusty old Palm units and cannot praise it and the developer enough. Far too many apps, even "numbers ones" eventually disappear into the murk of time, but this beauty endures. And thankfully so. If you're in need of an app even remotely close to the feature set this one offers, then I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed. I'd like to say a huge thank you for keeping the app up to date. Very much appreciated.

Excellent e-reader
Very good software. Easy to create & distribute new documents. Pity the authors seem to have largely abandoned it...
Phenomenal on my iPhone 6 Plus
iSilo is the app I use the most on my iPhone. I use it for reference docs, notes, travel plans...basically any and all documents I want to keep close and ready to view. Basically, I wouldn't be able to live without it.
The latest update makes using it on my big screen iPhone 6 Plus a phenomenal experience.
This app just keeps getting better. It seems that many of the people who gave a lower rating and had some issues did not even bother to go to iSilo's excellent support forum where they could have most likely gotten their problems resolved. People, I hate to break this to you, but the customer review section of the app store is *not* a customer support forum. The developer is not given a way to respond to anything anybody writes.

AirDrop Support
I don't like to complain here in reviews. Usually I try to contact the developer and work out my issue. However, I couldn't find how in this case. I have used iSilo for many years but at this point the web server function built in is no longer excusable. It's buggy and fails a lot and there's no hope in sight of it getting better. Why is there no airdrop support or share sheets support? Copying files into the app is still too hard. How can I use the app if it is hard to get files into the app? (Sans cable). I used to excuse the app's ugliness because of what it could do, but now it isn't even serving its utility purpose.

Problem: upgrades are lacking
The latest upgrade for iOS has removed the ability to copy from within annotations-- I wish I could revert b/c I used that a lot.
This is not surprising given the lack of true high quality upgrading for this app over the years. It's really too bad b/c it's an incredibly powerful app, able to do a combination of things no other reader can: linking, annotating, wifi transfers, file system -- theres a long list of features like this that other apps may have 1 or 2 of, but that's it. And with iSiloX: scraping from websites, and being able to produce a SINGLE highly sophisticated linked document from Word that can be converted to multiple formats so that it can be printed, viewed as a web page, converted to a Google doc for sharing and viewed in iSilo on phones or tablets so that you can edit ONE source document and distribute it to all those formats. I know of no other platforms that allow that kind of flexibility.
But as I said, it's too bad they're not updating such a powerful program to make it truly modern. Which means you're stuck with a lot of archaic iSilo ways of doing things.

Full screen autoscroll.
The app is generally great except when I need full screen autoscroll. It's very annoying when I go to full screen and as soon as I touch autoscroll it switches back to short screen which is way too bright with the banners on for night reading.
Don't bother with anything else for PDB
Many thanks to the developers! This is the best app for unusual files like PDBs. If that's what you are looking for, don't bother with any other app. I tried many other apps that claimed to open PDBs and all of them failed miserably!
Can I ask a further favour from the developers? I need to mark documents a lot. You have an annotate function, but it is slow to respond and requires a few steps. Could this be improved to a system such as iBooks where you just drag your finger over text to highlight it? Again many thanks
