Good App. Doesn’t Render Syntax Highlighting Consistently Though
It’s a great app for reading technical books. The ability to scroll instead of turn pages is much better when dealing with code. My only issue was that not every book rendered code with syntax highlighting. Mohammed Azam’s “SwiftUI Architecture” and “SwiftData Architecture” didn’t show any syntax highlighting. It was still better to read in Whio than Books because of the scrolling and the fact that the code word wraps instead of being cut off on the right.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! I'm really glad you're enjoying reading technical books in Whio. Version 1.0.1 has just been released with improvements to code recognition and language detection, so syntax highlighting should now work in more books. I'll keep working on improving this further to support even more books and languages. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. I really appreciate it!
Absolute genius of an app
Written by a techie for techies, this is what Apple Books should do with technical books. Makes code easy to see and extract. Also gathers your highlighted text in a notebook so you can see what you regard as important - you could easily highlight often used code to make it easy to refer back to. Well worth upgrading to Unlimited!
