iSilo App Reviews

The ios8 update is wonderful. Great for using watchtower library when you dont have Internet access or running low on data for the month. A useful app for any JW.

The latest upgrade for iOS has removed the ability to copy from within annotations-- I wish I could revert b/c I used that a lot. This is not surprising given the lack of true high quality upgrading for this app over the years. Its really too bad b/c its an incredibly powerful app, able to do a combination of things no other reader can: linking, annotating, wifi transfers, file system -- theres a long list of features like this that other apps may have 1 or 2 of, but thats it. And with iSiloX: scraping from websites, and being able to produce a SINGLE highly sophisticated linked document from Word that can be converted to multiple formats so that it can be printed, viewed as a web page, converted to a Google doc for sharing and viewed in iSilo on phones or tablets so that you can edit ONE source document and distribute it to all those formats. I know of no other platforms that allow that kind of flexibility. But as I said, its too bad theyre not updating such a powerful program to make it truly modern. Which means youre stuck with a lot of archaic iSilo ways of doing things.

I bought this app hoping that id be able to open my old books in my Palm handheld. fail!

I dont like to complain here in reviews. Usually I try to contact the developer and work out my issue. However, I couldnt find how in this case. I have used iSilo for many years but at this point the web server function built in is no longer excusable. Its buggy and fails a lot and theres no hope in sight of it getting better. Why is there no airdrop support or share sheets support? Copying files into the app is still too hard. How can I use the app if it is hard to get files into the app? (Sans cable). I used to excuse the apps ugliness because of what it could do, but now it isnt even serving its utility purpose.

I used iSilo on an old Palm device years ago and had hundreds of books on it. When I bought my iPhone I had hoped to use the books again so I bought the iSilo for iPhone app. While I was able to load all my books through iTunes, I find using the app a very unsatisfying experience. There is no setting to control margins so when selecting text it is very cumbersome. The app also crashes on my iPhone 6 Plus.

I just want one more function: Access to Dropbox or other cloud servers please.(again)

iSilo is the app I use the most on my iPhone. I use it for reference docs, notes, travel plans...basically any and all documents I want to keep close and ready to view. Basically, I wouldnt be able to live without it. The latest update makes using it on my big screen iPhone 6 Plus a phenomenal experience. This app just keeps getting better. It seems that many of the people who gave a lower rating and had some issues did not even bother to go to iSilos excellent support forum where they could have most likely gotten their problems resolved. People, I hate to break this to you, but the customer review section of the app store is *not* a customer support forum. The developer is not given a way to respond to anything anybody writes.

iSilo works just fine on my iPhone, but on my iPad it decides to autoscroll nonstop and feverishly on its own as soon as I try to finger-scroll up! Will you please look into this? Thank you

Great !

Because I use this much, will it be possible in the future to have it included in the slide over in iOS 9?

The authors of this app have been faithful through the years to squash the bugs, and it is relatively bug free now. But the need for seamless syncing of documents, bookmarks, annotations, and settings across multiple devices is an obvious one. I really wish they would implement it. It would then be 5-stars.

Needs slide over functionality for iPad in iOS 9.3. No syncing of annotations, bookmarks, and highlights across multiple devices. Better search functionality. Highlighting text is difficult, needs a better tool. Underlining text and an easier way to change the color of highlighting. Take notes from iBooks. Rarely updated. This app has tons of potential but needs occasional attention. Im a long time and frequent user. Please update.
