## What is Flippy?

Tired of PDF readers that feel cold and lifeless? Flippy turns your PDFs — and now EPUBs too — into real, flippable books: pages curl under your finger, a natural AI voice can read every page aloud, and built-in AI explains anything you don't understand.

REALISTIC PAGE FLIP Flippy's signature: swipe anywhere and watch pages curl, fold, and settle with satisfying physics — a true 3D flipbook. Tap the edges to turn pages, or glide through your document with the chapter scrubber. PDFs load instantly.

LISTEN TO ANY PDF (Premium) Turn any PDF into an audiobook. Natural, human-quality text to speech voices read your PDF aloud — perfect for commutes, workouts, or resting your eyes. Control playback from your lock screen, speed it up or slow it down, and download chapters to listen offline with instant playback. Flippy even skips page numbers and repeated headers so narration flows like a real audiobook.

UNDERSTAND ANYTHING (Premium) Highlight a confusing passage and tap the glowing orb — get an instant, clear explanation with images, right on the page. Ask questions about your document or request chapter summaries. Or just ask out loud — speak your question and hear the answer back.

STUDY SMARTER Made for students: import a textbook, listen to chapters on the way to class, and ask AI to explain the hard parts. Turn any chapter into flashcards or a practice quiz, get chapter summaries, and cite sources properly. Your lecture notes and research papers become audio you can study anywhere.

READING FOR EVERYONE Hearing the words while you see them helps readers with dyslexia, low vision, and ADHD — and anyone who learns better by ear. Text to speech is built into every book, with adjustable speed and a calm, distraction-free design.

IN YOUR LANGUAGE Flippy speaks 13 languages and follows your device language automatically — now including Arabic, with a full right-to-left interface. AI answers you in the language you read in.

SMART NAVIGATION Every PDF gets a tap-to-jump table of contents — Flippy automatically detects chapters even in PDFs that don't have one. Plus instant text search with highlighted results.

YOUR PERSONAL LIBRARY Import PDFs from your files, URLs, or Google Drive links — and EPUB books too: Flippy converts them into clean, flippable pages. Organize with Collections and swipe between them, pick up exactly where you left off with the Continue Reading card, and track your reading progress and streaks.

READING FEATURES • Bookmarks with notes • Multi-color text highlighting • Scroll mode — continuous vertical reading when you prefer it • Fullscreen mode with pinch-to-zoom • Two-page spreads on tablets — beautiful for manga, comics, and sheet music (Right-To-Left supported)

DESIGNED FOR READERS A clean, pure-black interface that's easy on your eyes and your battery. Your PDFs are stored on your device, so reading always works offline.

FREE & PREMIUM Reading, organizing, highlighting, and bookmarking are free — and your first week is free too, with every Premium feature unlocked. No card, no account. Flippy Premium then unlocks read-aloud listening, AI explanations, questions, and summaries, offline audio downloads, every highlight color, unlimited bookmarks, and note export. A bigger Pro plan is available for heavy listeners.

PRIVACY FIRST No ads. No selling your data. Your PDFs, highlights, and notes stay on your device. Read-aloud and AI features securely process only the text needed to serve you — see our privacy policy for details.

Whether it's novels, textbooks, research papers, manga, or manuals — Flippy makes reading feel natural, and makes listening and understanding effortless.

Download Flippy and rediscover the pleasure of turning pages.

### 3/5 — Reading Voice

*2026-08-26*

It’s a great app but the ai voice can’t stop turning on the iPhone’s voice and it’s boring

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words — and that's fair feedback. Here's what's happening: Flippy reads with natural AI voices, but when it can't reach them (usually a connection issue, or when the free listening minutes for the month are used up) it switches to the iPhone's built-in voice so your book doesn't just stop mid-page. Premium and Pro keep the natural voice. Two tips: in Settings you can preview six AI voices and pick your favorite, and we've just submitted an update that tells you clearly when and why the device voice kicks in. Email flippypdf@gmail.com if it's switching even with a good connection — we'll look into it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.3 — 2026-08-30

v4.3—The biggest Flippy update yet.

ASK ACROSS YOUR LIBRARY — Mention any book from your library in a question and Flippy pulls the right pages from that book, with citations.
MY WORDS — Found a word you didn't know? Save it straight from Define into your own personal dictionary, with the book and date you found it.

THREE NEW LANGUAGES — Flippy now speaks Korean, Filipino and Farsi, 15 languages in all.

READ SIDEWAYS — Turn your phone and keep reading, edge to edge.

SHARPER TOUCH — Pinch zooms into your fingertips, double-tap dives into the tapped spot, and panning glides in real time.

LISTENING NEVER STOPS — When free minutes run out, Flippy keeps reading with your device's built-in voice.
Plus: voice questions on iPhone and iPad are now transcribed entirely on your device, definitions work in every language, and dozens of polish fixes.

Thanks for reading with Flippy!

### 4.2 — 2026-08-24

v4.2

EPUB books — import an EPUB like any PDF and read it as a flip-book

Arabic — our 12th language, with a full right-to-left interface

Swipe between collections on your home screen

Links now work in page mode, and book mode on iPad

Voice answers always save to your chat history

The promo code box now stays above the keyboard

A redesigned What's New — swipe through it

Thanks for reading with Flippy!

### 4.1 — 2026-08-17

v4.1 — Flippy speaks your language!

The app now follows your device language — 11 new languages: Español, Português, हिन्दी, Bahasa Indonesia, Türkçe, Italiano, Deutsch, Bahasa Melayu, Tiếng Việt, Français and Русский. AI answers reply in your language too. Change it any time in Settings → Language.

Also in 4.1:
Highlighting is dependable again — holding down on text no longer flips the page on certain PDFs.

Your real local price — the subscription screen now always shows the price the App Store has set for your country, in your own currency, and free trials show up properly when the store is offering you one. If Flippy can't reach the store, it says so and offers to try again instead of showing a price it isn't sure about.

### 4.0 — 2026-08-03

v4.0 — Your first week is free. No card or account needed.

Install Flippy and every Premium feature is unlocked from the moment you open it. Read any PDF aloud in six natural voices, ask it questions, highlight anything for an explanation, and turn a chapter into flashcards and a quiz. And when you're ready to subscribe, your first 14 days are free too.

NEW IN 4.0
A free week on install — everything unlocked, nothing to enter and nothing to cancel
Flippy asks if you're still listening — after 45 minutes without a touch, read aloud pauses instead of playing to an empty room. You can switch it off in Settings.
Free AI, split by feature — questions, explaining a highlight, chapter summaries, flashcards and talking to your PDF each get their own free uses, so trying one doesn't use up the others
Free allowances refresh monthly — they used to run out for good
More AI for subscribers — Premium now includes 120 uses a month, Pro 300

FIXED
Read aloud no longer starts by itself when you reopen the app, and Stop is always within reach while it's playing
Unlocking Premium now updates Settings straight away instead of after a reopen
The microphone prompt appears when you open voice mode, not after your first tap
"Ask Aloud" is now called "Talk to your PDF"

Thanks for reading with Flippy! :)

### 3.9 — 2026-07-26

v3.9 — Now you can have conversations with your PDFs!

Smarter answers, smoother listening.

AI FINDS THE RIGHT PAGES
Ask about any part of your book and Flippy looks there — not just the page you happen to be on. Opening a second PDF in one session used to leave it guessing; that's fixed.

ASK ALOUD READS THE ROOM
Light when the writing is playful, plain and quiet when it isn't.

SEE YOUR FREE LISTENING TIME
The player now counts down how much you have left.

READ ALOUD KEEPS ITS PLACE
Go back a page and it carries on from the right one, instead of skipping ahead.

ALSO FIXED
Large PDFs no longer crash when entering or leaving full screen
Settings could stop opening after replaying the tutorial
Restore Purchases now tells you what happened
What's New now lives in Settings, so you can look up what Flippy does any time

Thanks for reading with Flippy! :)
