iSilo App Reviews

Do not install on my 3G iphone with firmware 3.0. iSilo support is poor and has no email contact. There is nobody to ask for help. Ive lost U$ 9, 99

An invaluable software for medical use, but the Wi-Fi transfer is still a bit unstable (depending on the size of the archives I have to disconnect and reconnect the iPod so that I can go on uploading them)

Its the best app to read technical information.

With last update the software stopped to appear on the list open with, as for example in dropbox software.

Datei download klappt nicht z.B. von Yahoo, Humyo und Smartdrive, habe 3h verloren! Data download not working from Yahoo Humyo and Smartdrive, lost 3h. Needs improvement and is too expensive!!!

Sadly, there is no alternative for certain pdb documents! I wish only the bugs would be eliminated: unexpected shut downs and quirky scrolling are the worst. Also the old-style user interface doesnt allow comfortable search or entry in landscape or...

Been waiting for iSilo for iPhone/iPod Touch but am very disappointed after I purchased it and used it. Id say that it is not worth the money at all. I would not recomment anyone to buy this version just yet. You cant even delete a document unless you want to delete them all. The navigation is really terrible. Not user friendly at all. Other eBook reader applications offer much better quality and naviation ability than this and some of them are even free. Too bad, I cant return it for refund. I hope to see much improvement in the next version release.

For a first release excellent. I really wish people would READ THE DOCUMENTATION before posting reviews. Deleting single document, easy. There are some improvements on the way. Ive been waiting for isilo since the iPhone was released as it was the single most used app on my palm pilot. I am able to use all of my previous documents and now I finally feel at home! Great work!

Still need many improvement to match WM quality but its a good start

Have used for years on palm, awesome. Of course version 1 is not going to be perfect but the programmers at isilo can be trusted, I can guarantee that from my experience. They are preoccupied with programming, not marketting. Be patient, you wont regret it.

this is a great app but I dont think there is any excuse for putting out an update that erases all the data you have in the app. test things a little more thoroughly before releasing please!!!

This application has proven to be worthless to me. It cannot read either my .pdb or .pdf files. I bought iSilo specifically to read .pdf files and on my Touch. The iSilo "Application Description" on iTunes states the following: "Additional document file types [that iSilo can read] include: .pdf..." Unfortunately, I have been unable to open even simple PDF files. When I contacted iSilo support, they responded with this message "The PDF support is limited to what the iPhone built-in PDF viewer has the ability to display." If it is known that iSilo cannot read all standard PDF documents, then the iSilo description ought to state "SOME .pdf". Or better still, the App Store description ought to say what iSilo told me directly, that is, "PDF support is limited to what the iPhone built-in PDF viewer has the ability to display." Had I known that, I would not have bought the App. Also, the iTunes App Store iSilo description states: "Palm Doc... Thousands of documents, eBooks..." and the sample screen image shows both the iSilo Maual and the CIA Wold Factbook "bonus" in ".pdb" format. Despite the graphic, iSilo has confirmed to me that iSilo for the Touch cannot read .pdb files. They have not yet responded to me as to why the graphic in the App store shows .pdb files even though the App itself cannot read them. The graphic is extremely misleading. Given that the ISilo cannot read either type of document that I bought it for, it is useless to me. Ill still give it one star because it did upload the files to the touch as advertised even though it couldnt read them.

Reasons: slow on loading and slow on scrolling. Auto-rotating feature is nagging without locking option. Need more work. Too expensive. Developpers not keen at updating software. Difficult document transfer to iPhone. Dont buy it.

I agree with the general tone of the sentiments posted thus far. It needs work. Maybe it was rushed through production. This app is a real favorite among medical types who like to carry reference textbooks with them but it was much better on the palm. Many medical texts are online now and with this version of iSilo so annoyingly slow and jerky with the scroll function I think Id still be going to the Internet to look up a reference. I hope it improves its speed quickly otherwise I for one will be looking for other solutions.

So far I have put a great collection of books on here. Pdb files load fast enough, but it needs image zooming capabilities. This and a rotation lock would make this an excellent ebook reader. There are lots of resources with this format, uploading is easy but the interface still needs work.

when I first bought this apps 2 months ago I was disapointed by the touch screen controls, unable to go to page next/previous and auto-scroll adjustment working 1 out of 6 times, but now with the upgrade (5.07) I can no longer access the server mode to download new e-books which effectively render the apps useless. If you want a good reader dl stanza, its free, has access to thousand of free books and has work flawlessly since july 08....

This app was perfect until the last update. I use it for the Electrical code (a large pdb). It no longer zooms on large files and acts weird when scrolling. It worked the file before really well.

Used it for YEARS on my palm. Bought it last week for my iPhone, but it was very buggy. I loved iSilo and I hope a new version comes out to fix the bugs.

Good variety of formats are readable. Nice file server feature and access to many ebook sites from within the app. Overall needs a facelift. It has awkward ways of performing basic tasks. Scrolling a is still way too jerky in spite of multiple updates!!!! What is the developer thinking? Im looking forward to updates.

Having problems with copying and annotation after last update.
