## What is Léelo?

Bring your own Spanish books. Understand every word.

Léelo is an EPUB reader for people whose Spanish is still a work in progress. Import any DRM-free Spanish ebook, tap a word you don't know, and get an English definition without leaving the page or losing your place.

HOW IT WORKS

Import from Files, iCloud Drive, or wherever your books live. Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks, and Wikisource are all free and all work.

Tap a word for an instant English definition, its part of speech, and audio pronunciation. Tap again to save it to your vocabulary list.

Tap a whole sentence for a natural translation plus a word-by-word breakdown, so you can see how the grammar actually fits together.

It all runs on device. No account, no sign-in, and no internet needed once your dictionary has downloaded.

WHICH BOOKS WORK

Any DRM-free EPUB. That covers Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks, and anything you bought from a DRM-free seller.

Copy-protected books will not work, in this app or any other. Books bought from Kindle or Apple Books only open inside those apps. Léelo checks before importing and tells you plainly when a file is protected, instead of failing halfway through.

WHAT'S FREE AND WHAT'S NOT

Free forever: 2 books you import yourself, every A1 graded reader, and 5 classics you pick.

Premium: unlimited imports, all 296 graded readers from A1 to C2, and all 66 classics. 30-day free trial, then $5.99/month, or $49.99 once for lifetime access.

If you plan to read a shelf of your own books, you want Premium. The free tier exists so you can read a real book start to finish before you decide.

ALSO INCLUDED

296 original graded readers across the full CEFR ladder, A1 through C2, for when you'd rather build up to the hard stuff. 66 public-domain classics in Spanish. Reading streaks, saved words, and progress that syncs across iPhone and iPad through iCloud.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Lifetime is a single payment with no renewal.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-08-29

Narration you can follow.

- New Enunciate words option: at the Word by word and Slowest paces each word is spoken more slowly and distinctly. Works best with an Enhanced or Premium voice.
- The voice picker now shows each voice's quality (Compact, Enhanced, Premium) and lists the best first, so you can tell the three Monicas apart.
- Clear directions for installing Apple's free Enhanced and Premium Spanish voices.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-28

A calmer, clearer reader.

- Definitions open in one fixed spot and stay put. Tapping outside closes them without turning the page.
- Dictionary meanings are chosen more carefully, and the page no longer marks every new word, only the ones you are learning.
- Narration is paced by pauses between words and sentences at a natural speed, with four paces to choose from, and the spoken word is highlighted as you listen.
- VoiceOver can now look up any word on the page.
- Shorter onboarding, a clearer paywall that shows your five free classics, and dozens of layout and readability fixes across Words, Progress, Learn and Settings.
- Fixes: reopening a book at a saved spot no longer shows a blank page, and swiping past a chapter lands on its first page.

### 1.2.3 — 2026-08-25

Import a shelf at a time, plus a purchase fix.

• Import several books at once. Select multiple EPUBs in the file picker, or drag a whole group onto your library. A file that won't open no longer stops the rest of the batch.

• Fixed books appearing locked after an update even though your purchase was active. Restoring purchases is no longer needed to unlock them.

• Translated two phrases that were still appearing in English.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-08-22

Tap a word and you get the word, not a paragraph about it. A definition was overwriting the translation a second after it appeared; now the dictionary answer wins and stays put.

Reader fixes: the last word on a page responds to a tap again, swiping back from the first page of a chapter takes you to the end of the previous one, and the toolbar no longer cuts its own labels in half.

Highlighting in the reader is much lighter, so a page reads as a page rather than a redacted document.

The progress numbers are honest now. Reading time no longer counts hours the app spent sitting open, words read no longer counts pages you skipped past, and words known includes the ones you marked by reading past them.

Also: duplicate copies of the same book get cleaned up, and importing a file you already have is refused instead of quietly adding it twice.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-08-17

Fixes a layout bug in 1.2 that could push the reader's toolbar buttons off-screen on iPhone. Also makes the app faster: quicker launches, smoother page turns and library scrolling, and lower memory use while reading long books.

If 1.2 left you stuck in the reader, this update frees you. Sorry about that.
