I'm currently using 5.16 and generally it is fine. However, there are a few niggling issues that would be great to see fixed! (I would have rather emailed these - couldn't find a contact email, and couldn't get the iTunes 'Report a Problem' to work!)

Magnifier Position: The magnifier doesn't behave the same as Apple's Notes app. When you reach the top of the screen with iSilo, the magnifier moves under your finger! Doh! The Notes app behaviour is much, much more useful. Please can this be changed in iSilo?!

Magnifier Links: When using the magnifier mode if you happen to highlight a link you jump to the link - BUT, if the link is in another PDB document then iSilo mistakenly tries to take you to the position in the current document!! (Links within the same document are ok)

Pinch Operation: I would be excellent to see the pinch work in the same way as Safari. If iSilo renders the page for the current screen width (landscape or portrait) then pinch should zoom in without changing the layout (as it does in Safari). There are often times when I just want to zoom into some fine text to see more clearly. Perhaps there are issues with rendering very long documents...?
(I have a temporary solution: I've enabled the three-finger zoom in the accessibility preferences. It's not ideal, but it's better than nothing!)

Scroll bug: I have an occasional bug where I'm scrolling down manually, and suddenly the screen goes completely blank! Hitting Back then Forward brings back the display. At the moment I'm not sure if it's down to having the tap-functions enabled, or whether it's down to hitting a particular area of the screen, or scrolling at some speed - but it's pretty aggravating! If I find anything more detailed then I'll post it ;)

Thanks for a highly useful product though!

Sigh! :confused:

I'm very disappointed that the magnifier position and link bug still remain!!

It is such a pain when using a PDB that has small text (such as an index document) - using the magnifier should link correctly, but doesn't. It still links to the last page of the current PDB file, rather than the linked page of the linked PDB file :(

And the fact that the magnifier appears UNDER your finger when you reach the top section of the screen is very irritating!


Added to that, I have submitted these bugs many times via the App Store and have had no reply, and no evidence of addressing these issues.

Big shame!

Certainly, two-finger-zoom would at least make iSilo usable under these circumstance.
Is the iPhone app being actively developed still? :confused:
