Readless turns any PDF or ePub into an audiobook in 17 languages. TWO TIERS, NO FRICTION • FREE — iOS system voices in 35+ languages. Fully offline. First 2 books on us. • PREMIUM — Natural neural voices in 17 languages, billed per character. New devices get 100 trial chars. BUILT FOR THE COMMUTE • Background playback + lock-screen controls • Sleep timer with "end of chapter" preset • 0.5×–2× speed; replays are always free • Bookmarks, font size, 3 reading themes PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your books stay on your device. Only the chapter you tap "Premium" on is sent for synthesis, then discarded server-side. No ads. No tracking SDKs. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | ベーシック・アンロック | $0.99 | one-time | | バルクパック · 120万字 | $9.99 | one-time | | Starter · 100K chars | $0.99 | one-time | | スタンダード · 40万字 | $3.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.0.5 — 2026-05-25 Single Play button: the Reader no longer asks you to pick a tier first — one tap reads with whichever voice you've chosen. Draggable scrubber: grab the thumb and seek anywhere in a chapter, including premium voice playback. Voice previews: every premium voice now has a built-in sample you can preview offline. No quota burn just from browsing. Two-step voice picker: pick a language first, then the voice — no more scrolling through a 70-voice flat list. Native-language voice labels: Japanese voices labelled in Japanese, Korean in Korean, etc., so the descriptor matches what you'll actually hear. Live language switching: most of the UI now flips immediately when you change app language — no more restart prompt. Smaller bug fixes: paused icon shows the right state, switching tiers no longer freezes playback, premium badge no longer clipped. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-05-22 Single Play button: the Reader no longer asks you to pick a tier first — one tap reads with whichever voice you've chosen. Draggable scrubber: grab the thumb and seek anywhere in a chapter, including premium voice playback. Voice previews: every premium voice now has a built-in sample you can preview offline. No quota burn just from browsing. Two-step voice picker: pick a language first, then the voice — no more scrolling through a 70-voice flat list. Native-language voice labels: Japanese voices labelled in Japanese, Korean in Korean, etc., so the descriptor matches what you'll actually hear. Live language switching: most of the UI now flips immediately when you change app language — no more restart prompt. Smaller bug fixes: paused icon shows the right state, switching tiers no longer freezes playback, premium badge no longer clipped. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-05-21 Now in your language: full UI translations rolled out for Arabic, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Indonesian — the buttons, settings, paywall, and voice picker speak your language now, not just the audio. Faster voice picker: language list is now pre-indexed, so the picker opens instantly even with the full 300-voice MiniMax catalog ready to go. Smarter language detection: result is cached per chapter so skipping forward, resuming, or replaying doesn't re-run the detector. RTL layout polish for Arabic — mirrored buttons, badges, and the language hero card all land in the right place. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-05-19 Premium voices now read in 17 languages — Mandarin, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Dutch, Turkish, Ukrainian, plus Cantonese. Voice picker redesigned: pick the language first, then the narrator. No more scrolling past 300 voices to find yours. The paywall now previews the matching narrator pack for the book you're reading. Tier banner shows clearly which voice you're hearing; pause / resume keeps it. Switching tiers mid-chapter no longer leaves two audio streams overlapping. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-05-15 Voice picker right in the player — switch between Premium and any on-device voice with a tap, no need to dive into Settings. English books now use an English voice automatically. Numbers like 1.5 no longer come out in a Chinese accent. Pause / resume / chapter skip preserve your current voice instead of silently dropping you back to System. Settings fully localized across 7 languages. Audio cache moved to its own page so the destructive Clear action lives where it belongs. Reader toolbar redesigned: typography, bookmarks, and chapter list are now three distinct buttons. ## Apps similar to Readless · Listen to eBooks | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [ReadCast : Audio Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/readcast-audio-reader/id6761913353) | — | Free | Books | | [CocoReader: Offline Audiobook](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/cocoreader-offline-audiobook/id6759081545) | — | Free | Books | | [Spoka: eBook & EPUB Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/spoka-ebook-and-epub-reader/id6754191183) | — | Free | Books | | [EchoRead: Audio Ebook Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/echoread-audio-ebook-reader/id6757081936) | — | Free | Books | | [Chorus Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/chorus-reader/id6759882177) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Books | | [Fablum: EPUB & PDF Reader](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fablum-epub-and-pdf-reader/id6761669091) | — | Free | Books | ## More apps by BIN WANG - [BeanCraft](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/beancraft/id6759830764) - [LocalMind Private AI](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/localmind-private-ai/id6761062000) - [DramaMap Japan](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dramamap-japan/id6761062185) - [35mm Film](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/35mm-film/id6769252199) - [Posy: Pocket Herbarium](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/posy-pocket-herbarium/id6771771185) All apps by BIN WANG: https://appshunter.io/developer/1881032464 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
