Andrea Reader is an ebook, comic, manga, manhua, webtoon and PDF reader for iPhone and iPad. A local-first reading library for your own DRM-free files: no account, no sign-up, no ads. Import your books, organize them your way, and read with deep customization across formats. COLLECTIONS & SECTIONS Create collections with their own name, color, cover and layout. Add nested collections, sort, filter, reorder and resize your library with pinch gestures. Inside each collection, create Sections: movable, collapsible blocks with their own name and color. Drag books in and out, reorder sections between books, and shape every saga, reading list or archive exactly how you want. Each collection saves its own appearance and settings. POWERFUL READING Open a book and start reading immediately with automatic settings by format, or create your own reading profiles and apply them per book or per collection. Adjust gestures, page transitions, margins, spacing, brightness, full screen, scrolling, double page mode, right-to-left manga reading, PDF/comic fit options and more. IMPORT & STORAGE - EPUB, PDF, CBZ, CBR, ZIP, RAR, 7Z, CB7, TAR and CBT - Import from Files, local storage, iTunes/Finder file sharing or cable connection - Quick Read: open a file without importing it - Scan physical pages and create digital books - Extract compressed archives with books inside - Connect to iCloud, OPDS, WebDAV, SMB and SFTP - Download multiple books, choose the target collection and section, and manage local/remote storage CUSTOMIZATION Make Andrea feel like your library, not a generic file list. Choose grid, list or showcase layouts, customize book cards, covers, thumbnails, progress display, colors, themes, Zen Mode, top shortcut icons, status bar behavior and collection history. The interface can follow each collection's color or stay clean and global. STATS & PROGRESS Reading stats are tracked quietly in the background while you read. See progress, sessions, time spent reading, speed, streaks and more at three levels: per book, per section and per collection. Clean charts turn your reading activity into something easy to understand.

Andrea's first ones: your daily reading goal, a heat map of the months you have read, your progress chart, and a card for the last book you opened that takes you straight back to it. Home Screen and Lock Screen. - Genres of your own. Create your own types with a name, an icon and a colour, and apply them to a whole collection, to a single section, or book by book. Every genre gets its own share and its own screen in Activity, so you can finally see how much manga, how much comics and how many books you have actually read. - Your covers, in 3D. The cover editor has been rebuilt: the book turns a full 360 degrees, follows your finger, and its spine thickens with the page count. Front and back cover are edited separately. - A daily reading goal. Set the minutes you want to read each day and watch a half-moon fill up. The whole week is tappable: each day tells you how much you read and, if you fell short, by how much. - Activity, rebuilt. Every bar carries its number, the average line is labelled, and Your evolution comes as bars, a line or an area. Open any month to find the books you read with their covers, the split by format, your sessions, the hours you read most, and how it compares to the month before. Every format also gets its own screen. - Long downloads without watching them. A Live Activity tracks progress on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island while downloads carry on in the background. - Share what matters: the day, the week, the month, the year or everything, plus your streak, your goal, and your saved quotes and words. BUG FIXES - Comic double page: wide pages are shown alone again instead of duplicated, page turns work with the slide and curl effects, and selecting text no longer turns the page. It also uses far less memory. - OCR in comics no longer shows the system menu on top of Andrea's own. - The import button no longer stops responding after a tip appears and closes, and its info button now explains the option instead of closing the whole view. - Importing into a specific section now honours the section you chose. - Background downloads: the progress card opens by tapping anywhere on it, the Live Activity no longer gets stuck when the app is closed, and collections fill in new covers as books arrive. - Freed-up books keep their covers in the collection cover picker, are marked immediately, and no longer turn their back cover into a copy of the front. - Renaming books no longer duplicates them in the cover picker. - The synced iCloud folder keeps its name, brings covers along, and its books open properly. - Suwayomi chapters can now be downloaded, and uppercase file extensions are recognised on import. - Turning the reading widgets off applies to the whole book, not just the current page. - Fixes for iPhone: Activity cards and the search tip are no longer cut off, the library grid no longer misaligns after reading in landscape, and tapping the top bar no longer scrolls a collection back to the start. ### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-19 NEW IN ANDREA READER A brand new Activity screen History is now just one part of it. See your reading in numbers (time, pages, pace, books finished), month by month charts and a heat map, reading and visit streaks, the progress of every collection and section, and the words you looked up and the quotes you saved. Your full history is still one tap away. Notes, quotes and stickers from any highlight Select text to highlight it, write a note or save a quote, all from the same menu. In comics and manga you can crop an area of the page and attach a note to it, or turn that crop into a sticker and save it to your system stickers to use in any app. Unlimited sticky notes Stick as many notes as you like on each page: drag them, send them to the back or delete them. There is also a settings section just for highlights, and a clearer view of a book's highlights. All your notes in one list Browse the notes and highlights of a book, a section or a whole collection in order, and export them in Markdown and other formats. Link a folder instead of importing book by book Open a folder, tap Open, and it syncs into Andrea whole, with its subfolders exactly as they are. Nothing is copied, so it takes up no space, and remote books download with a single tap when you want to read them. iCloud backup Save your settings, colours, servers and recent paths, and restore them if you reinstall the app. Passwords stay in the keychain. Native sidebar on iPad A system style side menu to move around your collections, iPad only for now. Turn it on in General settings; the classic menu is still available. Real time AI upscaling Upscale any comic or manga page while you read with a tap in the top left, now using far fewer resources. Traditional Chinese added Andrea Reader is now available in 14 languages. BUG FIXES - Opening a file Andrea does not recognise no longer blocks opening other books afterwards. - Files Andrea does not recognise, such as .mobi, can now be deleted with a long press. - Highlights take you back to their exact page again, even after changing the font or the pagination. - The first page of a book or chapter now highlights properly. - In EPUB, the selection menu no longer disappears when you lift your finger quickly. - Words split with a hyphen are now looked up correctly in the dictionary. - Fixed the odd coloured strip at the top during the launch animation. - Better connections to OPDS servers (Komga, Kavita, Stump, Calibre), with URL examples to connect directly. - Komga now shows all the files on the server. - Free up everything in a collection now really offloads every book back to iCloud. - Books removed from a collection no longer keep showing in the fan view. - The bookmarks menu now uses neutral colours instead of the collection colour. - The storage view warns in red when files are missing. - Quick read on iPhone is no longer see through. - On small iPhones, the left side menu now closes all the way. - A deep translation pass across all 14 languages: around 90 texts appeared in Spanish or English and now show in your language, and clipped text in French is fixed. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-08-02 NEW IN ANDREA READER - Read like a real book.

Landscape pages now show on their own, centered, instead of being squeezed into a spread. Zoom frames the full spread by default, page-turn transitions are respected, and you can adjust the spine between pages (spacing, thickness and color). Full screen keeps the image proportion without deforming it, and the reader can switch to double-page automatically when you rotate to landscape. - Sharper images. A new image rescaler for comics and manga with x2 and x4 upscaling and four processing modes: Lanczos, bicubic, sharpen lines and clean scan. It also includes an experimental AI super-resolution that can turn very low-quality images into high-definition ones. Image-based EPUBs are now handled as images, with thumbnails in the reading menu. - Reading stats when you close a book. When you finish or close a book, a quick prompt now appears showing the book you just read, with a button to jump straight to its individual reading stats and details. - Improved reading controls. Fine-tune what each tap does (advance or go back depending on the side) and use the volume buttons to turn pages. The auto page-turn play/pause control is now cleaner and sized to match the widget. - Collections, sections and bookmarks. See all the bookmarks of a collection or a section in one place, with each book, its cover and its bookmarks. You can set a specific photo as a book cover, and the limit on collections and files is now much higher. The progress widget is now free, and there's a black app icon with a new icon style selector in General Settings. - iCloud. Uploading to iCloud now automatically reconnects and re-creates the app folder if it went missing, and clearly warns you when iCloud isn't available. A new "Reset iCloud connection" option is available in Settings; it's safe and never deletes your books. - Experimental reading mode. Read a page in color first, then tap to switch it to black and white (manga style) before moving on. BUG FIXES - The file picker no longer closes by itself when importing from your device. - The reader no longer closes on its own when a tip appears underneath it. - Reading-menu thumbnails now show correctly in EPUB image mode. - Fixed lag and duplicate covers when browsing covers inside a collection. - Books offloaded to iCloud no longer lose their cover. - Fixed a crash when searching inside PDFs. - Scrolling stays smooth after switching books from the reader, including after dragging or opening the reading menu. - Comic and PDF pages now re-fit in real time when you rotate the device in double-page mode. - The startup animation stripe colors now match correctly. - Improved the fan collection style, with better performance and correct curvature. - Polished the collection info sheet on iPhone with clearer titles and separators. ## Apps similar to Andrea | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [BookShelves eBook Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bookshelves-ebook-reader/id6756848973) | 3.8 (11) | Free | Books | | [StoryCodex: WebNovel Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/storycodex-webnovel-reader/id6770108068) | 5.0 (4) | Free | Books | | [EPUB Reader - justread](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/epub-reader-justread/id6757948605) | 4.6 (25) | Free | Books | | [Still: for Audiobookshelf](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/still-for-audiobookshelf/id6754208326) | 4.9 (36) | Free | Books | | [Sutra — eBook Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sutra-ebook-reader/id6780096864) | 4.0 (5) | Free | Books | | [Absorb - for Audiobookshelf](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/absorb-for-audiobookshelf/id6760673498) | 4.9 (54) | Free | Books | ## Related topics [free books to read comics](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/free-books-to-read-comics) · [read books comic](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/read-books-comic) · [bitbook](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/bitbook) · [smarty me small talk](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/smarty-me-small-talk) · [kindle previewer](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/kindle-previewer) · [mangalek](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/mangalek) · [cdisplayex](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/cdisplayex) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
