What's New in Reader for Watch

26.9.14

September 14, 2026

What's new in this version: • Added support for iOS 27 and watchOS 27. • Apple Watch auto-scroll now intelligently pauses when the screen dims or enters the background, and automatically resumes on wake for smoother, more power-efficient reading. • Smoother Apple Watch auto-scroll with better hand and Digital Crown interaction, more reliable chapter endings, and preserved reading position. • Added optional stronger haptic feedback when auto-scroll pauses or resumes as the screen dims. • Improved book management with easier multi-selection for archiving, unarchiving, and deleting books. • Made book transfers safer: books currently being sent to Apple Watch can no longer be accidentally modified or deleted. • Improved email feedback: You can now easily copy diagnostic information if the Mail app cannot be opened, making it simpler to send feedback. What's new recently: • Added a Share Extension: You can now quickly and seamlessly import EPUB and TXT files into your library directly from the Files app or other apps. • Added the ability to hide or show the navigation bar with a single tap when viewing images. • Improved app performance and reliability when returning to the app from the background. • Fixed an issue where watch face complications and widgets might display stale reading progress. • Added full support for displaying images in EPUB books on Apple Watch, bringing a richer and more complete reading experience to your wrist. (Note: Previously transferred books will need to be re-uploaded to display images.) • Significantly improved EPUB parsing for better chapter recognition, deeper table-of-contents hierarchy, and improved metadata preservation. • Fixed an issue that could cause the app to freeze when transferring very large books from iPhone to Apple Watch. • Enhanced book transfer tracking between iPhone and Apple Watch to improve reliability. • Resolved multiple stability issues, including an error when the Apple Watch speaker is unavailable while charging. • Improved Text-to-Speech (TTS) behavior and chapter title matching. • Listen to books on Apple Watch with the new Read Aloud experience, including natural voices, chapter announcements, Now Playing controls, cover artwork, and background audio. • Customize Read Aloud with per-language speech rates, voice quality choices, and preferred voices for each language.

完美的手表阅读器

单单是专门准备epub图片功能这点就远远甩开了同类app,不过归档速度也会稍慢。总之非常完美,找了一个小时终于找到理想的阅读器了

存在熄屏问题

滚动播放蛮方便的但是不操作手表就会熄屏,这就很不方便了,能不能修改成不会自动熄屏

Love the app go epubs!

Overall your the best epub watch app. Great work on fixing the next chapter bug. No other epub app is as good as this on watch. The text scrolls really smoothly too.

Hopefully one day hyperlinks that link to various chapters can be supported or images can be supported. But if not this app is great regardless.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! The ‘Next Chapter’ button bug has been fixed in v3.0

Scam

Books will not transfer even though the app pretends to transfer. Just use watch reader which is free and actually works. Apple won’t even give me a refund.

Gut

Endlich mit tts!
