Just use Books.
Forces you to pay if you import more than 5 books. Just use Books unless you really need OPDS support.
Disappointing
poor functionality and a pain to "import" and organize your books.
Opening of a local file on ipad pro
Please how is it possible to open a local file on my ipad pro? Also would it be possible to have the list of all the possible formats accepted? For instance, is azw3 ok? Thank you in advance.
Demande d'option
Bonjour superbe application ,mais si on pouvais ecrire directement sur l'epub ça serait genial🥰
Workable but not entirely good
It takes a bit to get it to just simply read a book, but on the upside it handles custom fonts, and even RIBBI, right and with ease.
Big minus is that the page layout in continuous scroll cannot be changed. On an iPhone SE, the default margin is *way* too big, making for *very* short lines.

Good ePub reader .. but
It had a problem with ePub 3 file
Also all the books from Hindawi.org have an issue in MapleRead, but work well on other ebook apps.

Nice book reader doesn't support split view for ipad
A really nice app for reading epub just cannot use notes side by side and have limited annotation capabilities. Just text highlight...no underline strikethrough.
Hope the developers soon update the app for ipad

Response from developer
EPUB 3 is a very complex standard. The app may have bugs, or the books may not be fully compliant. Please try out some bundled EPUB 3 books from Sample Books. You are welcome to send us the books in question to help resolve this issue. Thanks.
Devs are snippy.
Less cumbersome to get the side loading than I'd thought (the phrasing was throwing me), but very much do not want to give money to insulting responses. Blighted shame.
Too cumbersome to side load from Files.
My beloved Marvin app is not in the App Store anymore, so I am searching for a replacement for the day when the iOS makes it not run anymore. I require an app which will let me sideload epubs from downloaded files, sort by author (and not show all the books till I tap!), and allow me to change (or add) covers.
This one claims to do all three, but requires moving epubs to a separate folder? Other apps are not so finicky, and this cumbersome point of friction means I'm going to move on. I'll leave it on my phone, but until I can load epubs from the app, or by telling Files to download to the app, I don't think I'll use it. Pity.

Apparently you're a fan of a long-abandoned app, and I can sympathize with your dissatisfaction with the Apple Store policy. Your stated requirement is actually quite basic, and has been addressed by the app since day one. But we have no idea of what you mean by "moving epubs to a separate folder". Please read the rather extensive in-app and online help too, especially on the topic of importing books. Actually, we think you're smart enough to figure it out, as long as you don't insist that they all have to be done exactly the old way you're used to. Cheers.
Great app
MapleRead is the best reader app I’ve ever used. It loads with tons of features. To name a few: audio-book, beautiful cover view, adjustable UI text size, highly customizable, great library management, etc.
I bought MapleRead SE without any hesitation.

Unique & I recommend it
"Gentium Book Classic" is a gorgeous font! And this app offers the ability to add custom fonts. So satisfied that I purchased the full version SE.
great epub read app and some advice
in classic book model，there is a white margin at the page when I choose colored theme. I wonder to know if the theme color or background could cover the full page in classic book model，not just the text part.
I really like the app, and thanks for what you do for it.

Free ain’t free
A 3 book limit on importing local files makes this whole thing worthless, regardless of the nice features it may have.
Really good app
This is one of the best readers on IOS. Not sure why the low reviews. It has a lot of great features and the developer continues to improve it. Will be getting one of the premium versions shortly.
Can’t use two columns display
Even in landscape mode. This is not effective. Unable to read my comic books
Response from developer
EPUB two column layout only works for text. It can't break an image in a comic book into two columns.
Auto hyphenation not working … (SOLVED!)
… for books in Russian. It looks like your app is the only one that does not support it. (Marvin supports it, i2Reader supports it, Pocketbook supports it, even Apple’s Books supports it.)
P.S. Now it’s working - after the developers’ prompt response!

Awesome app!
Works as promised! Pleasantly surprised!
everything’s almost perfect
almost perfect reader:
just a couple of notes:
1. cannot set page margins (left, right, top, bottom) for scrolling mode (why so? too much screen space is wasting :) ).
2. footer and header are not customizable. also: if you set footer center, it shows percentage, and if default, it shows pages and chapter. I would like to see chapter and percent, for example :)
3. (yeah, remembered third. optional) it can show publisher style (awesome!) but(!) it doesn’t use publisher’s colors (like header color or text color if they’re non-standard). it’s not necessary (you can set your theme), but useful :)

Unethical, stay away from this app
There used to be a limit on how many books i can read (may be 3?). Now I am unable to open the only 2 books i have in this app! Haha unbelievable! Such a stupid decision! I was really considering purchasing the app but not anymore. I'll look elsewhere. Idk how they attract new customers with such attitude.
By the way, they offer you to send the books to another app but there's a catch. You lose all annotations you made by doing so. So either you pay and purchase their app or you lose all highlights. 5 dollars for the full app isn't much but you don't deserve any penny.

You can now import, open and read 3 books (as of v4.2) of your own to completely test out our EPUB reader, in addition to importing an unlimited number of books in many ways. Why were you so angry in an unproportional way? Perhaps bad-mouthing this app per se somehow pleased you. Oh well, find another app you like and be calm and happy!
