Dropbox on phone is terrible
I am really enjoying MapleRead SE on my iPad. I love how it syncs with my iPhone so I don’t have to flip pages when I switch devices. I prefer to use Dropbox to load my ebooks, however their very annoying ads block me using it on the iPhone, I can’t minimize or remove the ad to see the books I have stored. So I can’t load new books onto my phone.

Very nice
I am an avid kindle reader and I absolutely hate it when i have to use the built in books app instead of kindle. I'm so glad I found this app, which is a great alternative for reading epubs. It has a lot of nice features, including audio for epubs (but not pdf).
Here are a few wish list items I hope you will consider...
-wish could change red color for highlighted word when using audio (I'd prefer blue or to be able to pick a color)
-when audio is active you can't highlight or make a note, even when the audio is paused. You have to completely exit out of audio and then make the note/highlight and return to audio
-wish there was a way to customize top menu (I will never use cloud so it's annoying to have that menu option always present & therefore subject to accidental presses)
Thanks for the much improved reading experience! It's greatly appreciated!

The Best epub and PDF reader there is
Over the last 2 years I had read 76 books using MapleRead and it’s the best reading experience I had on Ipad, Android or Kindle. It’s well worth the money, the developers are responsive and the app is getting regular updates. I wasn’t happy reading on ipads until I found this ereader
Need more
Would like to move books around in set in any order I want by tapping and hold at present not able to do this Would also like to draw with Apple Pencil pro on page of book also at this time unable to do this would give five stars if this could be addressed in the next update otherwise excellent app
Response from developer
For your first request, switch to any book set other than “All Books” and “Ungrouped”, and sort by “Custom Order”.
Fantastic - It’s simply a legendary class book reader
Ok where do I begin?
Cost - extremely reasonable. No subscription nightmares - u own it outright. There’s even different versions of the app to suit different needs. Personally I highly recommend the SE version.
MapleRead is highly customisable and for convenience sake, bulk import is a breeze.
There’s support for many cloud drives but most importantly for ‘Calibre’. Calibre is the amazing open source way to manage ur ebook & manga libraries.
Back to MapleRead, only today did I discover they’d fixed & have a super easy way to bulk import books using standard Apple’s File App. There’s all ur typical ways to add ur own fonts, backgrounds, covers. Just loads of cool Nic-Nacs for u all to tinker with :)
I just loathe DRM, it’s so incredibly offensive. That’s why I just love Calibre (who deals with DRM) so I can manage & read my purchased books exactly the way I desire. I’m not bound to some store’s app, only to find out one day, when the store abandons that app, I also lose access to all my books. Things I buy ought to be owned by me don’t u agree? U know, just like a physical book has always been!
BTW MapleRead guys are always updating and adding new features (at no extra cost), although I love dropping them a donation/coffee every now and again. Sure beats loathsome subscriptions doesn’t it 9/10
