### 4/5 — Tengo el problema de que no mandan la actualización de un año para otro

*2024-03-27, version 6.21*

La app funciona muy bien pero tiene el problema que les comento porque los derechos para el uso ya los abone en su día

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2023-01-07, version 6.21*

This app works very well with my Christian books that I read! I wish they would do some more updates to the app! Because every time I open the app, it crashes. Then I have to open it again before it starts working normally.

### 3/5 — 환불요청 드립니다

*2022-04-16*

회사에서 사용 하였던 어플이었는데요. 이번에 핸드폰을 바꾸면서 모르고 구매 하였는데 회사에서 더이상 아이실로에대한 다른 파일들을 더이상 지원하지 않아 환불요청드립니다.

### 4/5 — Behind

*2021-05-14, version 6.21*

I’m having trouble navigating through the app. It’s really confusing and I can’t find anything. It’s already updated. Next step is for me to delete and redownload the app. After that, I’m giving up on it. I liked that there were many more publications I could search though than the library, but I can’t see any of them anywhere. It’s more of a pain than a help.

### 3/5 — Unable to use a simple feature such as ‘edit bookmark’... very frustrated

*2021-04-24, version 6.21*

Please fix it

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2021-04-23, version 6.21*

I’ve used iSilo for years as a reader. Current version for iOS crashes when you first open app. Requires second opening to read documents. App needs updating to prevent crashing.

### 3/5 — Some suggestions

*2021-04-22, version 6.21*

The app crashes every time on 1st open, please fix.
It will be nice to have a “Dark mode” feature.

### 4/5 — Please keep supporting

*2021-02-16, version 6.21*

I enjoy this app and use it for reading documents with embedded hyperlinks for footnotes (such is Recovery Version Bible).  However, it needs to be updated to support latest iOS. Every since iOS 14 came out I have to open the app twice because first attempt always crashes but once I start it again it works fine.  It’s a minor annoyance but it’s also concerning that the app may be abandoned.

### 3/5 — Good Program But Several Glitches

*2021-01-29, version 6.21*

Can we get an update for iOS 14? Don’t think it’s been updated for years. Want to keep using the program, but will move to another platform if there are no updates coming.

### 4/5 — Update 부탁 드립니다.

*2020-11-13*

정말 잘쓰는 앱입니다. 부탁드립니다

### 3/5 — Needs attention

*2020-10-09, version 6.21*

Wonderful platform but no updates for two years. After the recent iOS update this app shut down when it first opens and always has to be opened a second time. At that time, “recent“ is not updated anymore like it used to. Please give this some work, I and many others I know  use this app on a daily basis. Couldn’t find a way to contact the developer directly even on the website(which also is way out of date)

### 2/5 — Actualización aplicación

*2019-12-08, version 6.21*

Con la última actualización de IOS 13.2.3, no se puede descargar  los archivos. Hay que actualizarla

### 2/5 — iOS Files app support

*2019-11-01, version 6.21*

Please make it more convenient for us to download our files

### 2/5 — Needs to be updated

*2019-06-23, version 6.21*

Hasn’t received an update in about 1 year. Needs Cloud support so you can see annotations and notes across all devices. Needs some UI improvements to make it more functional. Copy and paste and annotating are horrible. Please incorporate new copy and paste function coming to iOS 13. This could be a great app if modernized a bit.

### 4/5 — 제발 아이패드 업데이트 좀

*2019-03-19*

Ios 12이후에. 각주 있는건 엄청 느려졌어요 안드로이드는 괜찮던데 부탁드려요 plz update !!

*2026-03-26*

刚买的，结果用不了，文件用这个软件打开没反应，这个软件废了吗？

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-04-16, version 6.21*

Looks like iSilo is gone forever. Can’t open any pdb file.

### 1/5 — La estropearon

*2024-07-07, version 6.21*

Era posiblemente, la mejor aplicación que había para la Palm, pero cuando se introdujeron los nuevos sistemas operativos, no sé qué pasó con ella, pues en vez de conservar lo que ya tenían lo único que han hecho ha sido estropearlo todo, que ya no se pueda seleccionar parte de texto y copiar, me parece lo peor que han hecho

### 1/5 — Unable to download

*2022-02-12, version 6.21*

I have not been able to download new material since 2017. What’s wrong with this app?

### 1/5 — Crashes upon opening

*2021-10-15, version 6.21*

Please fix the crash upon opening of the app. R

### 1/5 — Great but abandoned

*2021-10-03, version 6.21*

Beat ereader ever, but its been abandoned by the devs. 👎🏼 useless now.

### 1/5 — Confirmation email not arrived after the purchase on iSilo website

*2020-12-25*

Hi, I have purchased iSilo Windows(R) on iSilo website with my emails, both working well; but confirmation email has not arrived even after 2 day... ( the confirmation email should arrive in a few minutes as described on iSilo website)

I wanted to find a customer service email address or phone number to solve this issue, but I could not find any from the website...

Please leave customer service email address or phone number so that I can contact and receive the confirmation email.

Due to this problem, even though I already paid for it, but I have no way to install iSilo on my computer... 

This is just like, I paid money for my lunch in a cafeteria, but the food is not being served for 48 hours...

### 1/5 — ios14下有bug

*2020-12-25*

1:第一次打开会闪退
2:搜素 定位不精准
3:复制会有前后文字遗漏

### 1/5 — Change phones

*2019-03-13, version 6.21*

How can I transfer all my books I do have in my phone  to a new phone ?

### 1/5 — isilo

*2019-01-02*

isilo这个好是好,但是有一点不好；那就是文件用电脑导入到isilo文件夹里，在用快牙传过去isilo不显示内容，isilo能不能退回到6.20.9的版本比较好用
更新之后这个版本不怎么好,用星代替评分只能给差，希望开发者有所改进

### 5/5 — Simple, effective, easy to operate

*2020-03-25, version 6.21*

I have been using this ISilo almost every day for more than 15 years. Excellent app. It is so fast and work smoothly on many of my devices, both IOS and Android, without failing. Hoping this app remains in many years to come.

### 5/5 — Hands down a life saving app

*2019-11-14, version 6.21*

I purchased this app about 10 years ago and I’m still using it like no other... I’m happy that i bought this in order to input a library that i use on a regular basis

### 5/5 — 업데이트 요청

*2018-09-30*

ios12 업데이트 후 많이 느려졌어요~
업데이트 가능하면 부탁드립니다

### 5/5 — Basic but wonderful

*2018-06-08, version 6.21*

This app does not have bells and whistles but a core functionality that just works. It is a simple reader app that does a lot of good things well. Yes, it has limitations. But they are not crucial. This app does what it is supposed to do so well that it deserves, for those things, 5 stars.

### 5/5 — Much better!

*2018-01-22, version 6.21*

Thank you for adding iPhone X support!
