What's New in Grim Reader

1.7

November 1, 2026

NEW • Authors by country: every author profile shows their country with its flag, in the app's language – and all of them for authors with more than one nationality. Countries that no longer exist, such as Prussia, are listed too. • Filter authors by country: tap the globe next to Sort in Authors to see only the authors from one country. • Enrich authors: under Library management, three steps in one place – Link to Wikidata, Fill in details and Add countries. You first see what was found (Certain, Uncertain or Not found) and only what you approve is saved. • Select several books under On this device and delete them all at once. • Comics downloaded from WebDAV can now be deleted from this device only. • Rate Grim Reader from Settings. IMPROVEMENTS • Cover search finds more results: title and author are now searched separately. • Photo search looks further on Wikidata and Wikipedia and only shows real photos. • The author list scrolls smoothly, even in a library with thousands of authors. BUG FIXES • The page number in EPUB books no longer jumps when you start a new chapter: every page turn now moves exactly one page on. • Text stays readable with the System theme: books that fix their text to black or white no longer disappear in dark or light mode. • Details and photos you added to an author yourself are no longer replaced by an online search. • Countries you pick for an author are now saved. • CBR comics from a WebDAV server now get a cover. • On iPhone Duo, book text no longer runs under the side bar. Grimmory • Works with any Grimmory account, including users without admin rights, and is ready for Grimmory's new API. • Large audiobooks from your server start playing right away again, without timing out. • Your Grimmory account needs at least download permission to open and read books. Grim Reader is made by one developer in spare time. If you like the app, a review in the App Store helps more readers discover it. Thank you!
