### 1/5 — CHM sharp

*2017-11-09*

У.Г. - после обновления не запускается на iPad2.

### 5/5 — Очень хорошо

*2017-10-29*

Скачал для чтения микрософтовских файлов помощи. Работает, как надо. Особенно порадовало запоминание позиции в каждом файле. Мелкий странность с масштабированием шрифта не влияет на твёрдую пятерку.
Отдельная похвала за нежадность. 5+

### 5/5 — Displays chm files perfectly that other readers don't

*2016-09-10, version 1.2.6*

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.

### 5/5 — Супер

*2016-08-17*

не смотря на рекламу... он читает chm и редактирует любой код... это очень мощно и круто. 5 звезд
