Dog-Ear plays audiobooks and reads ebooks from your own library, and remembers where you left off. Bring your own books. Dog-Ear doesn't sell anything: connect it to a server you run, a folder on the web, or a WebDAV share like Nextcloud or Synology, or send files straight to your iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi.

Each book keeps its own level, synced across your devices. - Each book's playback speed now syncs across your devices. - Streamed books keep a steady volume (no pumping on loud passages). ### 1.6.12 — 2026-10-28 - Comics: a "Sorted by" menu under the title sorts series by Title, Recently Added, Recently Read, Year or Issue Count. - Comics from the Files app: Import from Files (Settings > Wi-Fi Transfer) now accepts cbz comics, and Wi-Fi Transfer takes them too. They show up under Comics, one series per folder (loose issues are grouped by name). RAR comics (most.cbr files) can't be read yet; a.cbr that is really a zip works. - Opening a book or comic that has to download now shows a progress bar with the size and time left. - iPhone Duo: Dog-Ear follows the fold. Open like a book, ebooks and comics show two pages, one each side; the library grids, book page and mini player keep everything off the fold. Unfolded or on iPad, the player splits: controls on the left, chapters, where you last stopped and the sleep timer on the right. Tabletop (half folded): the page or player stays above the fold with big controls below, including AirPlay. Closed, it turns every way. - Comics: the scanner's black border and bare paper around each page are trimmed so the art fills the screen (Settings > Comics > Trim Page Margins, on by default). - iPad and the open iPhone Duo: the mini player adds back 10 and forward 10. - A book's description shows on its page, under Resume on the open iPhone Duo. - Comic reader: tapping the edge turns the page at once (no pause waiting for a double tap). - Home: comic series tiles show the series name above the issue count. - The sample library adds five public-domain comics. ### 1.6.7 — 2026-10-26 New since 1.0: • Comics and graphic novels, with their own reader, shelves and offline downloads • CarPlay, and an Apple Watch app that keeps audiobooks on your wrist • Car Mode: a dark screen with big buttons for the road • Choose and reorder the shelves on Home, including a new Genres section • Want to Read, and series pages that show the whole series in order • iPad keyboard shortcuts: Command-F to search, Command-1 to 5 to jump between sections • Steadier volume at faster playback speeds • Each book remembers its own playback speed • Close Player: stop and put the player away from its ... menu, or long-press the mini player ### 1.0.0 — 2026-10-25 No release notes. ## More apps by Flexgames, LLC - [C4](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/c4/id529032534) - [Swoop Card Party Game](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/swoop-card-party-game/id6813903797) All apps by Flexgames, LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/529032537 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
