ShuBook 2M App Reviews

Unfortunately it is not holding the information regarding the progress or the book.

Hi! Reading Progress is disappearing when we change between ePub books. Thanks and Regards!!!

Update 2 : All the bugs i reported have been fixed. Many thanks to the support team ! I upgraded the app to 4.5* The only thing i am missing is that the series information from calibre is automatically moved to the label field. Update : I am in contact with the support regarding both bugs and changed the rating from 2* to 3* since work in the issues has started .... I have used the original app for some years and really like it. So i decided to buy the new version. Unfortunately it still is buggy : migrating my library from old to new app did not work. The app crashed while creating the migration files. I had to manually import mymbooks. A second bug occurs when scrolling in booklist - sometimes the app crashes.

It supports all the file types I have in my calibre database. It can download all books at once or all of a special group. It can export the books to other apps in case I want to do some mark up. Many settings. Great customer service with quick and helpful answers. Recommended!!

Love shu books. The best reading app I have used. Like being able to change background to make it easier to read at night. Thanks

Overall, an improvement over the previous version. Not sure its worth the full upgrade cost, since not much has been added. More polished, yes. Cleaner, yes. The selection feature is significantly improved. The new version uses native 6/6+ resolution. Those improvements are a big plus, but perhaps not worth the full version bump. The system brightness control is gone; now its just a grey overlay. I miss the system brightness. Of course, Control Center makes changing system brightness from within apps possible, so that feature may have outlived its usefulness. I still miss it. The developer continues to be very responsive -- my last support email got a helpful and thorough answer within about 3 hours.

I love this app it has saved me more time and energy and very easy to use only problem is io9 hopefully will be up and running soon because I hate using apples books app

I absolutely love Shubook. After Stanza was killed off I tried many apps that left me disappointed. Shubook is hands down the best and gets better with every update. The tagging system from Calibre now automatically sorts in Shubook. If you have a ton of books like I do this is a lifesaver.

This is a very good e-book reader. It’s not perfect, but I like it better than Apple Books and the Kindle app. Unfortunately it seems that this app has been abandoned, with no updates in years, and some annoying issues with layout on a modern iPhone, so I lowered my score from 4⭐️ to 3.

I love the shubook app. It’s very versatile and very user friendly. The only thing missing now is continuous scrolling. That would make it even better. Any chance of that?

I've been enjoying Shubook for years. It does everything I need it to do,and it does it simply. I had a problem with the latest version, but the developer replied right away with a fix, so I can say I'm enjoying it again very much.

I have used ShuBook almost from its inception, through each subsequent version, and right up to the current 2M version. I love its simplicity, the ability to download ePub & PDF books from any source, add tags, download book covers, sort by author, change fonts, change to nighttime reading, bookmark, etc. etc. It's never eaten or lost a single word, much less a book and I've read thousands and store thousands of books. Why only 4 stars? It continues to lag behind all other major e-readers by lacking the ability to highlight text and to add your own notes for future reference. This is a major setback for me. I'm a voracious reader and getting older. My memory isn't what it once was. I hate that this otherwise perfect e-reader has an almost unforgivable flaw. I also use Kindle because of their proprietary e-books. I love the highlighting and note writing, but find it unwieldy as a library for all my e-books. Please, please add these indispensable features!!! Why do I continue to use it over Marvin, which I also have? Marvin is a beautiful, full featured, overblown memory hog that only lets me upload from certain sources. ShuBooks 2M is a very lean memory user. That's a priority for me.
