Death of an app
Oct. 24th, 2011 01:53 pmLast week I finally got the internet memo that the e-reader app Stanza isn't compatible with iOS 5, and likely won't be updated in the future, ever. It's been a great app for me to use for reading fanfic, especially after I figured out that it could handle AO3's exported epub versions of stories, and I'm disappointed that it won't be maintained.
A number of message boards have been soliciting suggestions for replacements, though nothing seems to be able to do all of what Stanza could (or has all the bells and whistles that mattered to me). ShuBook is pretty close to meeting my needs, despite some issues with it ignoring all but the first two pages of certain stories after I change the font size. The developer of MegaReader has been hanging out at Stanza/Lexcycle's non-forums and says he's working on incorporating Stanza users' wish lists into a new update(s). That app is $2, but I probably still wait to see how the feedback is on it before trying it out.
