User Reviews

Came here to echo what another review noted that the app crashes when you attempt to purchase with the 7 day free trial. The app looks promising besides that

App keeps crashing when I keep trying to purchase the free trial. Looks good otherwise but could do with more customization, Marvin 3 let you choose font weight and background color, etc. Still looking for an e-reader as good as Marvin and have sadly yet to find it
