Pros and cons of CHMate: EPUB & CHM Reader app for iPhone and iPad

CHMate: EPUB & CHM Reader app good for

Extremely functional and easy to use. Works smoothly even with very large files. I was expecting such an app since I got my Ipad.
actually the only one (tried a few) that can read into the file (>150mb) via search.
Well done and unobtrusive app design. Detailed text settings (font size, font face, background colour, line spacing and more). Easy to scroll down by tapping in the lower half of the screen. Bookmarks are easy to add, and the icons are obvious when coming from Safari (I personally cant stand when developers feel the need to reinvent the wheel in UI design and come up with bizarre and confusing icons are look-alike buttons). Overall very solid, and superb value — the only limitation compared to the full version Ive found is being able to upload files one at a time only. Will be looking into the full version if I start to read more CHMs. Thanks!
Nice App. Just what I was looking for to read all my CHM Books on my iPad. Id buy the full version if it was cheaper. Thanks!
But the bookmark function doesnt work for me. It never takes you to where you bookmarked.
I found even after the delete of a file, it is still there (can be read), how to clear it permanently?

Some bad moments

Still problems with viewing images and tables embedded in files. I can send you the file if you want.
Poor file integration, can only have 1 file in library at a time for e lite version.
Crappy icloud sync feature simply deleted all my books with remarks, two weeks of my work!!! This is besides thee mere fact that icloud sync doenst work by itself
used for Turkish language but it doesnt work in Turkish charset.
This was a good app until the last upgrade . I dont know why but the app is full ads click. I payed for premium
Amazing update indeed. This chm reader is now pretty much perfect. Keep it up!
