Great for libraries

Shalimart

I have a library built up over the years in this format. I'm so glad they keep this app going strong. It is very useful.

Great app

Mimigrado

Love this a app but what would make it 5 stars for me is the ability to email a doc within the app.

I really like using this app a lot. I have files on here that I do a lot of research for but I find that the app is quite glitchy. I can't scroll smoothly up and down a page. Might need a patch update

The ios8 update is wonderful. Great for using watchtower library when you don't have Internet access or running low on data for the month. A useful app for any JW.

Problem: upgrades are lacking

discerning learner

The latest upgrade for iOS has removed the ability to copy from within annotations-- I wish I could revert b/c I used that a lot. This is not surprising given the lack of true high quality upgrading for this app over the years. It's really too bad b/c it's an incredibly powerful app, able to do a combination of things no other reader can: linking, annotating, wifi transfers, file system -- theres a long list of features like this that other apps may have 1 or 2 of, but that's it. And with iSiloX: scraping from websites, and being able to produce a SINGLE highly sophisticated linked document from Word that can be converted to multiple formats so that it can be printed, viewed as a web page, converted to a Google doc for sharing and viewed in iSilo on phones or tablets so that you can edit ONE source document and distribute it to all those formats. I know of no other platforms that allow that kind of flexibility. But as I said, it's too bad they're not updating such a powerful program to make it truly modern. Which means you're stuck with a lot of archaic iSilo ways of doing things.

Not good

I bought this app hoping that id be able to open my old books in my Palm handheld. fail!

AirDrop Support

Josh's iPhone

I don't like to complain here in reviews. Usually I try to contact the developer and work out my issue. However, I couldn't find how in this case. I have used iSilo for many years but at this point the web server function built in is no longer excusable. It's buggy and fails a lot and there's no hope in sight of it getting better. Why is there no airdrop support or share sheets support? Copying files into the app is still too hard. How can I use the app if it is hard to get files into the app? (Sans cable). I used to excuse the app's ugliness because of what it could do, but now it isn't even serving its utility purpose.

Clunky and outdated

I used iSilo on an old Palm device years ago and had hundreds of books on it. When I bought my iPhone I had hoped to use the books again so I bought the iSilo for iPhone app. While I was able to load all my books through iTunes, I find using the app a very unsatisfying experience. There is no setting to control margins so when selecting text it is very cumbersome. The app also crashes on my iPhone 6 Plus.

Good app. But NO server connection.

I just want one more function: Access to Dropbox or other cloud servers please.(again)

Phenomenal on my iPhone 6 Plus

InfoLunatic

iSilo is the app I use the most on my iPhone. I use it for reference docs, notes, travel plans...basically any and all documents I want to keep close and ready to view. Basically, I wouldn't be able to live without it. The latest update makes using it on my big screen iPhone 6 Plus a phenomenal experience. This app just keeps getting better. It seems that many of the people who gave a lower rating and had some issues did not even bother to go to iSilo's excellent support forum where they could have most likely gotten their problems resolved. People, I hate to break this to you, but the customer review section of the app store is *not* a customer support forum. The developer is not given a way to respond to anything anybody writes.
