What's New in Another Page

2.7.0

September 7, 2026

Open book files with Another Page. Tap an EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, FB2, PDF, or CBZ in Files, Mail, or a browser download and choose Another Page. The book lands in Your Books and opens. Block websites in Safari with Premium. A blocked site shows the reading screen, and reading unlocks it for the same window as an app. On iOS 26.5 and later, Open Another Page on a blocked app's shield opens the reading screen directly. Japanese books gain a writing direction control for vertical or horizontal text, and furigana no longer ends up in your highlights or copied text. The Aa menu names Japanese, Chinese, and Korean typefaces the way you expect, and Chinese and Korean books can download a real serif. A Japanese dictionary is available to download, and Define on a Japanese, Chinese, or Korean book opens Apple's dictionaries. The Japanese, Chinese, and Korean shelves now carry descriptions, genre tags, and page counts that match the reader. Books you import without a language tag are recognised by their script. Also various bug fixes.

Love this!!

Has made me think twice about scrolling and given me an excuse to read classics that have sat on my TBR for years. Most days I end up reading beyond my page minimum and spend only a few minutes on my restricted apps.

My one suggestion for improvement is changing the settings so that reading unlocks all restricted apps instead of just one. Sometimes I want to just spend a couple minutes checking each social media platform rather than sitting on one for the full 30 minutes, and it would be nice to not have to use more unlocks to do that.

Thank you for your feedback! This is something I plan to introduce in the future.

Almost perfect!

I absolutely adore rereading classics, so much so that they’ve become one of my favorite ways to spend those little 5 minute pockets of free time throughout the day. Social media, on the other hand, isn’t really my thing, but when there’s 'nothing to do' and I have a few minutes to kill, it’s ridiculously easy to instinctively open one of those pesky apps. Which is exactly why this app is perfect for me!
I actually discovered Another Page through a Reddit forum that popped up when I was searching for classical libraries and then promptly eagerly waited for the iOS release. One of the things I appreciate most is the commitment to privacy. It feels like so many apps collect an unnecessary amount of data nowadays, so finding one that doesn’t collect your data and doesn’t even require an email address to use is genuinely refreshing. I’ve always found mandatory sign-ups to be such an unnecessary barrier, and they often discourage me from trying an app altogether. AND THEN NO ADS?! Absolute heaven.

My only critiques are that I wish we could block more than three apps. I have more than three that I could probably stand to use a little less, so having to choose between my “lesser evils” can be difficult. I’ve also noticed that the unblock timer seems to drain my battery a little, although I’m not sure whether that’s something within your control or simply an iOS limitation. Overall, though, I absolutely love this concept and execution!

Hello! I'm glad you are finding the app useful, and thank you for such a positive review! You can block more than three apps with premium.

A wonderful app for the road

Surprisingly, this week I noticed that the app actually gave me a love for reading. Thank you for developing it.

Love!

Very easy to use especially importing books. The pages also look very clean and nice to read. I also like that there are already books included.

best app

정말 최고의 어플입니다! 이걸로 내 영어공부가 더 향상되기를 빕니다 !
