When I first downloaded the app several months ago, the download wouldn't work. I emailed the developer with the issue. Recently, he got back to me and informed me that he had been really busy and not able to devote attention to his app(s) and that he had remedied the download issue. I have re-installed this app and done some poking around in it and it appears to be the most complete MAN page app out there. There is a little annoyance being the hard carriage returns in the text fields when some lines wrap the words just fine. Other than that, I can't find a fault with this app now. I'm am really looking forward to the distro specific MAN pages.
Cannot download database. Using Android 5.0.1 on a Moto E v2 cellphone. Same problem on a Nexus 7 using 5.1, Used to work fine a few months ago using KitKat on the Nexus 7. Was the best man page app until recently.
When I start the app it tells me I must update the database by pressing the menu key. The Samsung Galaxy S6 doesn't have a menu key.
The app appears to be no longer supported. Also, it no longer installs the man db. However, if you can get a copy of the db from a previous installation or from someone who has a copy, then it still works.
Just gives me error Update database using the menu key. Menu key only has removed favorites, email to, and report. I emailed to support.
Tried 3 times to update the database, app stopped each time. Thanks for your reply - tried again, it no longer freezes the app, but now it tells me I have the latest version. If I hit Show All from the menu, there is nothing displayed. So far, I have installed at on my Note 3, I also have a Nexus 7 running Android L - I'm not holding out much hope it will work on that.
i use this frequently on all of my devices. i just wish it had a way to let me load other man pages from my systems into it.
Told me to update from the menu, but there was no menu. Great idea, but needs a lot of work. I have android 6.0, sorry forgot the code name.
Version 1.1.3 working very well on my Galaxy Note 3. Clean and practical UI. Handy reference for on the go. Previous version glitch with db update resolved and dev contacted me to advise. Job well done.
I have a note 4 running Android 4.4 and after installing it says press the menu key to update the data, the problem is there is no hardware menu key on the note 4, and no on screen menu key either, soft keys are tasks and back, no soft key for menu on new Samsung phones
Does not work at all; it shows a search bar, but there's no Enter button to send input. Uninstalling.
Black screen, white search field. No commands searched would yells results. Uninstalled.
It downloaded suspiciously quickly but isn't listing any man pages. Sony Xperia model D5503 Android 5.0.2
It has all the man pages you need to study, learn at bed or check on the go. But its ugly, pre-Holo era, and inconvenient line breaks annoy reading.
Does not work. Displays no information. Says update database but then says nothing to update. Waste of time and space.
The application does not show any content, just asks to update its db, which however has ho effect.
Really helps when I'm in the middle of something and just need a quick reference without changing terminals. Extremely fast bug fixes as well. A really great app!
Sometimes it is a kind of unresponsive, but anyway great command repository
As mentioned by another there is no soft menu key to press on the new Samsung Note 4. Can't update the database so app isn't working.
It used to be a good software. But with lollipop it does not update database. Instead, it check only for the latest version. The result is displayed as 'No updates found. You are running already latest version '.
There is no onscreen menu key, and my phone lacks a hardware menu button, so there is no way to use it. Ugh.
Error while update the database.
Does nothing, just trys to update database, then says it doesn't need to.
Asks the user to update the database using an invisible menu key.
I don't want to write a bad review, but it doesn't work. I have no man pages and the update doesn't populate it either.
Says to press menu button... There is no menu button. Useless
Annoying line breaks. Ugly formatting. Spoils the experience.
When I installed on my lenovo, it showed nothing :(. I couldn't update the database too.
I really like this apps and find it very helpful when not in my Linux box.
I liked it but today when I try to use it, I cannot bring up manpages. It says use menu to update database and then when I try it tells me no update found you have current version... I'm on Nexus 6, Android 6.0 build MRA58k
