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.

the only one that is great!
fab app!
Nice and Best
Maybe the Best in CHM Apps
Search
Search is not working
Can't annotation,search in page
I love this app but I think some point should be add or fix
- annotation
- search in page and show that search,not only highlight because it hard to find highlight in long page.

Best CHM reader in the App Store
In terms of rendering and features this is the best CHM reader in the App Store - at a quarter of the price of some others too!
Not only does this reader have excellent rendering, including correctly functioning "expand all text" links which several other readers don't it has many other excellent features missing from other CHM reader apps.
It has real file management, the ability to organise your files into sub folders, and it can handle zip archives of directory structures of files which is a godsend if you're stuck using iTunes to upload files. It also has a progress meter on its wifi upload web interface, which I thought was a nice touch.
These features set it apart from the likes of CHMate (which I also purchased) and put it ahead of the competition.
The only reason I gave this four stars not five is because it doesn't handle multi-file documentation sets but I'm hoping they add this feature in a subsequent release.

Could be better
I would really like an addition of ability to annotate and highlight, which is very urgently required. Also a general improvement in UI would be appreciated. Otherwise, it appears an OK product.
Hands down, not the prettiest, but most functional
After purchasing the more expensive option, and running into limitations such as no "Open In" functionality and incorrect formatting or not enough formatting of text options, I stumbled across this app. This app gets most of it right and I will use it for the time being. It's also nice to see that it has been developed sometime during 2013 at least and not still stuck in 2012.
The not so great app I refer to above is ChmPlus Pro which was $6.99 which I regret.
Update app can't open ePub files which open great in iBooks or other apps. Plus there are minor bugs.
