Turning pages through volume buttons

Hello!

Love the app, been using it for a few years! I just wanted to make a suggestion for a feature where you can turn the pages with the volume buttons.
A few apps I use primarily for .epubs has this option to turn the page whenever you press the volume buttons, which is a really comfortable and tactile feature (this doesn’t stop the volume from changing though), and I would love if this was an option in Panels too.

That’s all, thank you, and looking forward to Panels 4!

Thanks for the feedback.

We’ll look into it. Historically, intercepting the behavior of the hardware buttons have been explicitly forbidden by the AppStore Guidelines. The fact that some other apps do doesn’t mean anything, because maybe the AppStore reviewers haven’t noticed.

But as far as I know, it could result in getting the app rejected.

It breaks the UX designed by iOS, and triggers two simultaneous behaviors. I understand where you’re coming from, but if you are looking for a tactile experience, we do support navigating through the app and reader using bluetooth remote controllers or gamepads. But I understand you’re looking for that experience on your iPhone, where using an external device is less convenient than on iPad / Mac.

We’ll check with Apple’s review team.

I hope that makes sense.
