What's New in EPUB Reader

5.5

October 19, 2026

■ New features - Pins: in an EPUB book, select a passage and tap Pin, or touch and hold an image, such as a map, to pin it. Tap the pin button at the bottom of the page to look at your last pin without losing your place, or touch and hold it to see all your pins. On iPad, a pin can also float over the page or dock beside it. - Back to Page: after any jump in an EPUB book, from Contents, search, a bookmark, a highlight or a link, tap Back to Page at the bottom to return to where you were. - Audiobookshelf: connect your Audiobookshelf server as a new source, browse its libraries, and download audiobooks and ebooks into your library. Your listening and reading position and finished books sync both ways, and you can sign in with single sign-on. - An audiobook keeps playing after you close its player. A mini player above the tabs brings it back. - Touch and hold a skip button to choose how far it skips, from 5 to 60 seconds, separately for back and forward. Car Mode, the Lock Screen and CarPlay use the same lengths. - While Read Aloud or a book's narration is on, double-tap a word to read on from its sentence, even while paused. - iPhone Duo: when it is open, books show two pages side by side. The iPad Layout setting is now called Pages Side by Side. ■ Improvements - Headings can now have their own size and weight, as well as their own font. - The top and bottom reading bars each have a Text Size slider, from 100 to 200 percent, on the Reading Bars page. - Reading Speed now shows words a minute, or characters a minute in Japanese and Chinese, with pages a minute beside it. - Find Better Details also searches Apple Books, Hardcover when connected, and Audible for audiobooks. It can fill in a book's series, and its Sources page lets you choose where it looks. ■ Fixes - Fixed a crash with natural voices on iPhone 17 and iPads with the M5 chip. ■ Localization - JustRead now speaks Russian, and all new text is natively translated across all 21 supported languages.

Update to my review - JR now my first choice for all books

Justread is now my place for ‘casual’ PDF reading as well as EPUB. It’s not LiquidText or MarginNote but for the first time, I have all my ‘reading’ books in 1 place and 1 app. Annotations are a breeze and easily exported to Craft. Moreover, if necessary I can go back to the book to look at my highlights in context. No more scrambling around for the latest ‘definitive’ annotated version.

And - the improvements/enhancements keep coming - I’m impressed

Response from developer

Thank you very much for the review and the title (about successor) you wrote. It says it all. Because that was my aim in the first place, as a Marvin user. And looks like I am going the right way. Have a nice day, PJ.

Amazing and Feedback is heard!

I just recently got this app specifically for changing my font out (I noticed I read better using a bionic reading (similar) font, but it wasn’t working with this app initially. I was bummed initially because it’s a great app so I reached out with the send feedback via email and they quickly responded and resolved my issue, and let me know it will come out in the next update they’re pushing! I am STOKED especially because their are many features that the Apple Books app doesn’t have like reading stats, changing reading layouts, reading voice assistance, and the assistant has functionality for asking book related questions! There’s even a tab where you can vote on feedback given and if a feature should be added, and they let you know when they’re working on a feature in that tab too! It’s very well made and I’m so happy I found it especially as I can organize by series too. 10/10

Response from developer

Hello and thank you so much for this nice and detailed review. We are glad we sorted out the bionic reading font for you. Feedback is something we care about really deeply, which is exactly why this roadmap/voting tab exists. And it's great to hear you like it. If you'll ever run into anything else, you know where to find us :-) Happy reading!

Great app, absurd prices

I like the app and the 20-20-20 reminders, but I don't like that since the free trial ended, I get a popup to pay which I cannot remove to check my book progress.

Response from developer

Hi Moon, thank you for the review, and we're really happy you like the app and the reminders. The app comes with a 14-day free trial so you can try every feature before deciding. After that, a subscription is needed to keep using it. This lets us keep developing the app without ads or selling your data. Your progress is safely saved, so if you subscribe (or buy lifetime), everything will be right where you left it.

É bom mas depois tem que pagar

Acho que é o melhor aplicativo que encontrei até agora mas o fato de precisar pagar pra continuar usufruindo é bem desanimador

Response from developer

Olá! Muito obrigado pelo carinho, ficamos felizes que você goste tanto do app! A assinatura é o que nos permite manter o app sem anúncios e sempre melhorando.

Made me enjoy reading again

I'm pretty sure I've tried every epub reader in the App Store, and this is the only one that manages to provide tons of customization while still looking nice and being easy to use. The app is fast, handles an iCloud folder full of epubs with no issues, syncs book progress instantly between my iPhone and iPad, and is in active development. The reading statistics screen is also super fun to look at.

I came from 18 years of using the Kindle app and watching it get worse and worse with every update. This app shows it's still possible to make a good ebook reader if you actually care about your product. I'm buying a lifetime subscription.

Response from developer

Oh, my. Reading this made our day! As a developer (and a reader first and foremost), there is nothing better than reading that the app made someone enjoy reading again. This is exactly why my son Jachym and I buitd it. Thank you for giving it a chance after 18 years with Kindle, and for supporting us with the lifetime subscription. We’ll keep working hard to deserve it! P.S.:Mac version in the making.
