Displays chm files perfectly that other readers don't

I've used CHM apps on my iPhones and iPads for as long as they've been available. Most haven't been updated for years, so I'd settled on one. Today I loaded a set of application-help CHMs and found the formatting was broken in some files. Luckily I spotted Bob T. Wonderfrog's review of CHM Sharp. This is indeed an excellent CHM reader. All the files I've loaded into it are perfectly formatted. The file-manager lets you download many files at once via a web browser (most of the browser-based downloaders only allow 1 at a time). The table of contents, index, and search all work well. Loading is fast. Don't be alarmed by the advertisements - they are disabled by a single $0.99 in-app purchase. The file-manager lets you create folders and move files into them, even with password protection if you want. The only quirk is that you don't Select and Move files. You Select, Cut, and Paste them. It would be nice if the developer made the margin around pages a little wider, but that's a small thing. Highly recommended.

Nice app

It has adds but you dont see those while reading the actual content, overall its nice app.

Needs update

The default text size setting fails and no matter what I set the font size at using +/- scrolling up/down only scrolls a third of my finger movement and scrolling right/left is like a difficult computer game since it only works after many attempts. It is still the best CHM reader since it has normal search functions the others skimp on, bizarrely. Having to use landscape mode due to lack of good word wrap in portrait mode means I can only see a few lines and then the slow vertical scrolling becomes real torture. Still searching for a better app I'm afraid.
