What's New in Apricity

5.1.0

November 6, 2026

Fifty ready-made planners, each with a work of art on its cover, made for your year and your week. Links in planners and PDFs now work in MySpace, eighteen new papers help you think things through, and Undo takes back whatever you place on a page. NEW • Fifty ready-made planners, from budgets and fitness to weddings and travel, each with a work of art on its cover. • Each planner is made for your year and the day your week starts, with tabs, calendars and an index that are all links. • Choose a planner’s paper: white, kraft, mint, charcoal or a colour of your own. • Eighteen new papers, among them a Thinking set: SWOT, Five Whys, Urgent & Important and more. • Engineering paper, outlines, daily to-dos, a backlog board and a year in review are new too. • Make links of your own on a page: to another page, another notebook or a website. • Every notebook has contents: a PDF brings its own, and you can add any page. • Duplicate, rotate and move pages, or go straight to a page by its number or title. • What Apricity Can Do, in Settings › About, shows every part of the app a page at a time. IMPROVED • Undo now takes back stickers, photos, notes, text boxes and links, not only writing. • New Notebook starts with a choice of notebook or planner, and puts title, type, shelf and size in one row. • PDFs you export from a notebook keep their links and contents. • On a Mac, the listening bar sits beside the folded page bar, clear of the page’s last lines. FIXED • Links in planners and other PDFs you bring in now work, instead of doing nothing when tapped. Thanks for reading with Apricity.

User reviews

Battery drain

The TTS is a very nice QoL feature, but whether the app is open or TTS is running while the screen is locked heats up my phone and drains battery like crazy. Sometimes the TTS highlight doesn’t follow while reading w/ the app open.
Inconsistent when trying to get to a specific chapter - either jumps midway of the chapter I select or goes midway to another later chapter.
Other than that, pretty nice reading app.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback, let us know the model of your iPhone, we have fixed this in 4.0.0 update, both heating and battery drain issues.

Promising and innovative

I’d posted a review couple days ago, not sure what happened. But it’s not showing. Anyway, this app just shows so many new ideas it’s become my go-to ereader. And I just LOVE the sounds- forest, rain etc. What a great idea !!! One question - does the app only Scroll for reading? Coz I can’t find a flip page option……update - it’s in Settings on the Home screen.

Thank you!

Any document becomes an audio book

This is an extremely well-polished, aesthetically pleasing app to store your library of books and documents. This far, I have used the speech feature to read aloud uploaded books and documents which works exceptionally well
