Superb text to speech
Kulak-
This book reader has superb text to speech. Some formats are not supported, which makes me use another app.
Decent but tts stops every chapter
Mars7272
TTS works until a new chapter. Then it stops. I payed to upgrade thinking it would solve the problem. It did not. Support on this app is non existent. I wasted $10
Great app overall

I’ve been using this app for years! Absolutely love it! Suggestion: Dropbox is the only option for backing up a library. It would be great if we could link our Marvin to iCloud or Google Drive and backup our libraries there as well.
Doesn’t support PDFs ??♂️

I’ll keep looking. Cloud picker is too hidden and it doesn’t support PDFs for some reason that I’ve yet to fathom. So if any of your ebooks are PDF, you’ll need another app anyway. Might as well just look for a different app from the get-go! I gave this an extra star though for not being subscription based. If everyone quit falling for subscriptions, they’d quickly disappear
Was good now it’s ok

This app hasn’t been updated for a while and some functionality stopped working on my iPad. It’s still a good ebook reader with text to speech.
The best but long time without update

The most customizable reliable ePub reader, I hope it’s still in development
Has all the features I want.

What they call “karaoke” reader will flash one word on the screen at a time. It lets you change wpm from really really slow to 720 wpm. (That’s a little slow though.) The word-flash reader also has good quality of life features, with the option to color the first letter of each word and give long words, commas, and spaces a little more time on-screen. The dark mode is black and saves oled battery. The margins are easily and minutely adjustable, so that I can use the whole screen to read (looking at you, Apple Books). The text size is minutely adjustable, though doing so in the middle of a book will change your position in the book (it keeps you at the same page number, but once you change text size total page count changes). I’m annoyed with the unintuitive and buggy design of the position adjustment slider at the bottom of the controls screen, which is so unreliable that it might as well not exist at all.
Best epub reader: why not update it?
SolidRate
A couple of years ago, I tried multiple epub reading apps, and found that this was by far the best. I was about to pay for it when I noticed it hadn’t been updated recently. Neither had the developer’s other epub apps. If and when this app shows signs of being maintained, I’ll buy it, but I don’t want to pay for something that might stop working with the next version of iOS.
Works Great on iPhone 13 Pro Max

Despite four years without an update, multiple versions of iOS and multiple new phones released by Apple, this app works incredibly well. When importing a new book, I can’t open it until the app is closed and relaunched, but that takes, very literally, a matter of moments. This app is well worth the money, even though it’s been years since an update and the developer may well have abandoned it. I prefer this app strongly over my Kindle app and even, at times, over my Kindle Oasis. Take it from a reader: Buy this app!!
