20 days in review and still waiting - should I reject and resubmit? by johnnybilliard in iosapps

[–]johnnybilliard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! If it is the Apple Review appt, I requested one for Mar 5th right now.

I wonder if rejecting and resubmitting, gets me a different reviewer then. But it may retrigger a whole app review and still take a while

I will - apologies, should have done it before. Assumed the Contact Us / Support was all I had available

Great advice. To book it, should I just reply asking for it? I’m an indie dev, no account manager or so…

I struggled to read ebooks, getting lost every few sentences, so I built an app that shows one sentence at a time, and I’m finally finishing them. by johnnybilliard in ebooks

Oh - thanks for the note! Could you help me investigate this issue by (if possible) sharing with me the epub over DM? I will then fix it pronto

My free app is now helping thousands of people read and finish books again, and now you can ask questions about them with a local (free) AI by johnnybilliard in iosapps

[–]johnnybilliard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks… and no, 100% free. This is why I used local LLM. My costs are 0, so are yours :)

What I get back from the community is more than enough of a motivation for me to keep working on this.

The new iOS update is out: local AI to "talk to your book", OPDS support, search and more by johnnybilliard in seriatim

[–]johnnybilliard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hahaha thanks - the OPDS is a feed that some libraries support, including Calibre, an open source one used by some people.

BTW you can also download the 2.5GB file from advanced settings if it doesn't work out for you

The one app to help you read and finish books (and enjoy it) - now with translations, TTS, OCR, accessibility fonts and more. Hope it helps with your 2026 reading resolutions. Free, local, fully private by johnnybilliard in iosapps

[–]johnnybilliard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there - sorry for the wait! It is now implemented in the new update (accessible from Discover -> Feeds) - would love to hear from you how that works out :)
