Great App! The best!

Great app, best one out there. All it needs now is voice reading like the voice dream app and it would have everything. Hope that is in the plans!
Great reader - with Calibre access
SørenGH
I'd been very happy with the app until I stopped using it becsuse I bought a Kobo a year ago. Now I needed it again and was a little sad that many reviews stated problems with Calibre access. I reinstalled anyway - and good that I did. I clicked get books, chose OPDS and I got directly the choice to link to my Calibre server on my home network. Marvin saw my server without problems immidiately. No problems at all as stated by other reviews. Notice I do not use iCloud or Dropbox btw, so don't know how/if they work.
It's ok but could be better.

I don't have a huge book library that I want to read on my phone, mainly novels to pass the time on the bus and the plane. I have them all on my Dropbox but no matter what I do, I can't download more than a book at a time. It's a little tedious to download a dozen books one at a time but that's what I have to do since this app is still the least worst out there to read EPUBS from my Dropbox.
Great reader!

I've used Marvin for iPhone reading for a couple of years. It provides a great experience, free from pressure to purchase books from a specific source. Importing from the Mac via Dropbox is easy. I love Marvin!
Marvin is awesome and solid!

I was pretty skeptical of reading long form things on my phone, but Marvin has made it so much better. The reader's interface fades into the background while reading and everything from screen brightness to page flips can be adjusted with swipes on the screen. And if needed, the reader has a full set of useful features from Dropbox integration to a wide variety of compatible formats. It's a really useful app for reading ebooks and it has become the way I read books when I'm not reading them on paper.
Yes this is a great app!

On the iOS platform, this is the app to go to for reading .epub publications. It is intuitive to use and has great features.
Great Reading App -- Far Superior to Marvin 3
Hrcy1
This is a great, user friendly app with the best customizations I've seen. It is much better than the new Marvin 3 version, so if you have to choose one I'd definitely choose this one. This is probably the most user friendly reading app that I've tried (and I've tried a lot of them) and Marvin 3 is one of the least user friendly reading apps I've tried.
The app that convinced me to replace Stanza

Because many former Stanza users recommended Marvin's iPad version, I decided to risk the $5 when the iPod/Phone version became available. And after less than a day of use, I'm sold. I was able to load my 800ish books easily via the Marvin plugin for Calibre, and I'm finding it overall usable. Why four stars and not five? Two reasons. First, there's a bug that quits the program every time the Pod goes to sleep; the developer says it's been confirmed and fixed, though, so I'm looking forward to the update! Second, the one thing I miss from Stanza is being able to look at my library and see which books are partially read without having to open them to check; again, though, this seems to be on the developer's radar. Overall, I do think it's $4.99 well spent, and I expect to spend many hours using it. 27 Aug 2016 update: Upgrading my rating to 5 stars. I use this app every day and have hundred of books in my library, which it manages happily. All the things I missed from Stanza have long since been added. And they're still maintaining a version that runs on my old iPod Touch that can't be upgraded above iOS 6! As long as I'm using an iOS device, this will be my epub reader.
Far better than it's successor

Easy to use and the parchment-paper colored background makes reading a pleasure. It is much easier to use than its successor, Marvin 3. My only complaint is that on the iPad Pro I can't view the book in a two page format in landscape mode. But still far better than Marvin 3.
