What's New in Penguin

2.0.0

November 10, 2026

Update 2.0.0 - a major update that rebuilds the structure of the app, focused on translation for text-based books and on server integration. ■ Translation for Text-Based Books (TXT and EPUB) · You can now read foreign-language text-based books as translations, right in the same reader. Tap “文” at the top to switch instantly between the translation and the original. You can also show the original alongside each paragraph, or touch and hold a paragraph to check only its original. ■ Two-Page View and Page Curl for Text-Based Books · In landscape and on iPhone Duo, you can open TXT and EPUB books as two-page spreads, just like comics, and read them with the “Page curl” effect, as if turning paper pages. · EPUB books with vertical Japanese text are now also divided into pages. ■ Servers Inside the Library · Komga, OPDS, and NAS servers now each have a place inside the library, so you can browse them with the same cover grid and view settings as the library. For CBZ and ZIP books on a NAS, the first page is shown as the cover over Wi-Fi. · Reading positions are now fetched from Komga without opening the book, and the next chapter follows the series order on the server. · Books opened by streaming also count toward the free version’s 30-book limit. ■ Home, Search, and a New Library · Added “Home” and “Search”. In Home you can find the books you were reading and the books you recently added, and in Search you can find books on your device and on Komga servers all at once. · Organized the library into Collections, Imported Folders, My Folders, Servers, and Tags, and gathered view, sort, and grouping options into a single “⋯” button. · You can add tags to books to filter and group them, and tags sync across your devices with iCloud. ■ Reader · Applied a new default layout that shows only the content, and gathered the other features into the “⋯” menu. You can also choose “Previous layout (1.9)”, and if you have changed the layout yourself, it stays as it is. · Reworked chapter transitions so that the next chapter continues right after one ends, and in webtoons, scrolling up also continues into the previous chapter. · Added the “Translated Text Direction” setting, which shows Chinese and Japanese translations in vertical writing. ■ Other Changes · Reorganized Settings and added a search for settings. · Fixed an issue where, when dragging to turn pages in a two-page spread, the area beneath the turning page was left blank white. · The launch discount ends with this update, and the price returns to the regular price. This does not affect those who have already purchased. I look forward to your response and your feedback.

格式

看不了epub漫画

Response from developer

感谢您的好评和反馈!漫画类 EPUB 大多采用"固定版式",目前的 1.8.3 版本还不支持这种格式,打开时会显示"暂时无法打开固定版式的书籍"。我们计划在之后的更新中正式支持固定版式的漫画 EPUB,上线后可以像 CBZ 一样使用双页、从右往左翻页、翻译等漫画功能。在此之前,同一部漫画如果有 CBZ、ZIP、RAR、7Z 或 PDF 格式的文件,现在就可以直接阅读。还请您稍等。

网盘

请问什么时候支持挂载iCloud云盘,还有度盘之类的

Response from developer

感谢您的好评! 【iCloud 云盘】现在就可以使用:点"添加"→"从文件或文件夹导入",在"文件"里选择 iCloud 云盘中的漫画文件夹即可。之后进入这个文件夹时,应用会自动检查新增的漫画,也可以下拉刷新;还没有下载到本机的文件,会在打开时自动下载。 【百度网盘】目前暂不支持直接连接。 【阿里云盘】可以通过阿里云盘官方的 WebDAV 服务连接。WebDAV 需要在阿里云盘 App 里另外购买"三方应用权益包"(阿里云盘面向所有用户出售的付费服务,可按月或按年购买,价格以阿里云盘 App 内显示为准)。步骤如下: 1. 在阿里云盘 App 中购买"三方应用权益包"。 2. 在阿里云盘 App 中打开"我的"→"三方应用"→"WebDAV",创建 WebDAV 账号,并选择允许访问的文件夹(例如存放漫画的文件夹),创建后会得到用户名和密码。 3. 在本应用中点"添加"→"从服务器导入(NAS · WebDAV · SMB)"→"添加服务器",类型选择"WebDAV",地址填写 https://openapi.alipan.com/dav ,在"账户"中填入第 2 步得到的用户名和密码,然后点右上角的 ✓ 保存。 4. "存储方式"选择"仅在需要时(流式)"时,只会在阅读时下载需要的页面;选择"保存到设备"时,会先把文件下载到本机,之后没有网络也能阅读。 其他提供 WebDAV、SMB 或 OPDS 的网盘或 NAS,也可以用同样的方法连接。您的需求我们已经记录下来,谢谢支持。

能否增加个自己更换封面的功能?

如题

Response from developer

谢谢您的五星好评和建议! 目前应用还不能自己更换封面。这个功能我们准备在之后的更新中加入,完成后会随更新一起发布,请再等一等。欢迎随时联系 krausehaileydanielle@gmail.com。

软件不错,但有几个bug

首先比较影响体验的点,就算在通用设置里选择了从左往右阅读,在打开漫画时还是会默认从右往左,而且每一本都是,特别折磨;其次,在使用条形瀑布阅读时,开启ai翻译,会直接卡住,建议要么条形阅读时ai翻译只翻译当前阅读的几个页面,反正不能卡住。
总之,软件确实还挺有新意,如果后续能修复这些bug,并继续打磨,就很值得买

Response from developer

感谢您这么详细的反馈,也谢谢您对应用的肯定。这两个问题的原因都在我们这边。 关于阅读方向:导入时,应用会根据文件名等信息把一些漫画自动设成从右往左,这个判断盖过了您在设置里选择的方向。下个版本会改正——设置里选择的方向优先,自动判断只在选择“自动检测”时才生效;同时会新增一个按钮,把您选择的方向一次应用到已经导入的所有漫画。在更新之前,您可以在阅读界面把某本漫画的方向改成“从左往右”,这本漫画会记住这个选择。 关于条形(瀑布)模式下的 AI 翻译:卡死的问题确实存在。我们正按您说的思路修改:只处理您当前正在看的部分,而不是一次处理整张长图。在修好之前,请先在单页或双页模式下使用翻译。 两处修复都还在进行中,完成后会随更新一起发布,请再等一等。如果还有其他问题,欢迎随时联系 krausehaileydanielle@gmail.com。

卡顿

导入漫画数量越多,阅读越卡顿。请改进

Response from developer

谢谢您的反馈,也很抱歉让您遇到这个问题。书越多越卡确实是我们的问题:翻页和打开漫画时,应用每次都会去查询整个书架,书一多就被拖慢。 我们正在修复这一点,会在接下来的更新中发布,请再等一等。更新之后如果还有卡顿,请告诉我们卡在哪里(书架列表还是阅读界面)和大概的本数,我们会继续改:krausehaileydanielle@gmail.com。
