eReader book app question [IOS]

Is there any book app on iOS that allows Face ID or Passlock?

It genuinely bothers me that Apple doesn’t allow this.

If you have DRM-free ePubs or can convert your library to ePub (e.g. with calibre), the Marvin app lets you set a startup password and/or password protect individual books. The startup password supports touch/face id, but not sure about the per-book one.

Is Marvin dead? It isn’t available on the AppStore anymore and you can’t buy InApp subscription.

Yes, it has been dead for many years. Another vote here for MapleRead.

Oh maybe so… I’ve had it installed forever so didn’t notice. That’s sad. Sorry OP, not sure what to recommend…

Yeah I kinda sucks. I switched to MapleRead instead but I don’t think it has login

Thanks but unfortunately the app isn’t available in my country. Unlucky I suppose.
