What's New in Grim Reader

1.4

October 7, 2026

New • Bring your own book server. Grim Reader now works with many more OPDS catalogs: Grimmory, Komga, Calibre (its own content server, including login), Stump, Ubooquity, COPS and Project Gutenberg. The server address is enough, because the app finds the right catalog address by itself. Both OPDS 1 and OPDS 2.0 are supported. • Catalogs match the rest of the app. Books appear as covers in a grid, or as a list if you prefer. Rows like "Most popular" show up as shelves with "See all". • Catalog books get a full book page. You get a large cover, the description, subjects and book details. There are cards for the author and the series, and you can tap the author, a subject or the series. • Comics (CBZ) from a catalog can be downloaded and read. • One comic reader for everything. You can pinch to zoom and double-tap to zoom in or out. A page counter and a slider sit at the bottom. Large comics open instantly. • Read comics as a continuous vertical scroll. There is also a variant without gaps between pages, for webtoons. • Read aloud in the book's own language. An English book now gets an English voice. • A calmer, more consistent design for books, series and authors, with clearer selection on iPad. Fixed • Grimmory now receives your reading position in the standard format, so its web reader and other apps can pick up where you left off. After a lost connection, your progress is sent automatically. • On iPad, a book no longer moves back one page each time you reopen it or return to the app. • Swiping in a comic always lands on one full page. Pages no longer stop halfway or jump around. • A book from an OPDS 1 catalog such as Project Gutenberg no longer crashes the app. • Descriptions from a Calibre catalog are no longer empty. A wrong password is now reported as such. • Searching with characters like & or + (for example "C++") now works. • Covers from catalogs that require login stay visible. • Missing English translations have been added.
