## What is ReadMe?

A reader that does one thing: let you read.
Novels, comics — it's all ReadMe now.
We stripped out the clutter and kept only what reading actually needs.

[Files it opens]
Novels — TXT, EPUB, SMI
Comics — CBZ, CBR, CB7, PDF, TIF, and plain JPG / PNG images
Got a ZIP? Just drop it in. ReadMe unpacks it for you.

[New in this update]
Comic Viewer — scroll straight down page after page, or flip two pages at a time. Messy margins get trimmed and the artwork sharpened, automatically
Cover Grid — see your whole library as covers, with your progress right under each one
Remote Library (Pro) — books piled up on your NAS? Leave them there. Connect an SMB, WebDAV or OPDS server and open them on the spot
Auto Series Sorting (Pro) — ReadMe pulls the title and volume number out of the filename and groups the same series together
Reading Stats (Pro) — daily, weekly and monthly reading time, plus a record for every book
Face ID Lock — lock the whole app, or with Pro, just the files and folders you pick

[The basics, done right]
Pick up where you left off — your library remembers the exact spot and how far you've come
Make the page yours — 8 themes (Light, Paper, Sepia, Sage, Lavender, Dark, Midnight, Black) plus font, size, line spacing, margins, and page-turn or scroll
Big files, no waiting — a 60 MB omnibus with tens of thousands of pages opens right up
Encoding sorted out for you — UTF-8, EUC-KR and other older files show up без garbled text
Filename repair — if names come out scrambled when a ZIP is unpacked, ReadMe puts them back
iCloud Sync — start on iPhone, continue on iPad from the same line (in-app purchase or Pro)
Import from the cloud — iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and more
From your Mac or PC — upload easily through Finder file sharing

[ReadMe Pro]
Unlocks Remote Library, Auto Series Sorting, Reading Stats, and per-file and per-folder locking.
While Pro is active, ads disappear and iCloud Sync switches on too.
Choose monthly, yearly, or lifetime — whichever suits you.

[iCloud Sync]
Read a novel on your iPhone and carry on from the same spot on your iPad.
Files, reading positions and bookmarks stay in step across all your devices.
Either the one-time purchase or ReadMe Pro gets you there.

[Importing from the cloud]
To bring in files from a cloud service, install that app (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and so on) on your iPhone and sign in first.
From Naver MYBOX, use 'Share → Open in another app' to copy files over to ReadMe.

### 5/5 — 잘 쓰고 있는데

*2026-07-31*

업데이트 이후로 테마 색 변경이
안됩니다.. 이거 오류인지 확인좀 해주세요 
아무리 바꿔도 검정색 테마만 적용이 되네요 메일도 보냈눈데 답변이
없어서 남깁니다

**Developer response:** 이용에 불편을 드려 죄송합니다. 
말씀하신 내용은 뷰어 배경 테마가 아닌 앱의 다른 화면에 적용되는 라이트/다크 테마 설정과 관련된 것으로 보입니다. 현재 보내주셨다는 메일은 확인되지 않아, 번거로우시겠지만 문제가 발생하는 화면의 캡처와 앱 버전을 포함해 다시 보내주시면 빠르게 확인하겠습니다. 오류로 확인되면 신속히 수정하겠습니다.

### 4/5 — 원본 파일에 줄 넘김이 존재하는데 적용이 안돼요

*2026-01-05, version 1.5.2*

원본 파일에는 분명 문단 나뉨이나 줄 넘김 모두 존재하는데 원본으로 불러오면 줄넘김이 모두 제거되어서 굉장히 가독성 안 좋은 파일이 됩니다… 삭제하고 다시 깔았는데도 그래요 개선 부탁드려요 그것 말고는 만족하고 잘 쓰고있어요

### 4/5 — 좋은데 개선 부탁드립니다

*2025-08-19, version 1.5.2*

최신목록도 다 읽고나면 삭제하고나 초기화 하고싶은데 전체파일처럼 삭제도할구있고 정렬도 할수있게 만들어주시면 좋을거같습니다 감사합니다

### 5/5 — 한번클릭으로도 넘어갔음 좋겠어요

*2025-08-17, version 1.5.2*

이 어플 너무너무 좋은데 스크롤로 할 때 나누어지는 페이지 수에 맞춰서 한 번 클릭하면 다음 페이지로 넘어가고 그랬음 좋겠어요!
약간 스크롤이랑 페이징 합친 느낌..? 그리구 종잇장 넘기는 효과 on/off도ㅠㅠㅠ

### 4/5 — 심플함이 끝장남

*2023-07-05, version 1.5.2*

북마크 tts 등은 포기해야 하지만
그만큼 앱을 심플하게 만드셨고
기본 세팅이 딱 좋았어요
아이폰 기준으로 말한거고
커스텀 많이 필요하시면 다른앱쓰세용

### 1/5 — 파일 읽기 오류

*2022-12-01, version 1.5.2*

파일을 다운로드 해서 보는데 10분 넘게 기다려도 파일의 전체가 읽히지 않고 나갔다가 들어오면 읽힌 부분의 중국어 번역본이 나옵니다. 나가기를 실행하면 ‘파일 저장 중 입니다.’ 가 나오고 검색과 배경 변경을 실행하면 ‘인덱싱 중입니다. 잠시만 기다려주세요.’ 라는 문구만 실행됩니다. 다른 파일은 안 이런데 유독 한 파일만 이러네요. 혹시 파일탓인가 해서 다른 어플로 실행하니 정상적으로 나옵니다. 이 오류만 아니면 불편한 점이 하나도 없습니다. 그러니 빨리 좀 고쳐주세요

### 5/5 — 아이패드 프로 문제가 몇 가지 있습니다.

*2022-04-23, version 1.5.2*

가볍고 아주 좋습니다만 아이패드 프로애서 가로로만 사용가능 그리고 하단 홈 제스처바가 사라지지 않는 문제가 있습니다. 해결될까요.

### 5/5 — 최신목록 목록 삭제 될 수 있게 해주세요

*2022-03-14, version 1.5.2*

텍스트 뷰 이것저것 써 봤는데 아주 깔끔하고 좋습니다. 삭제 기능 좀 만들어주세요. 그럼 만점 어플되겠어요

### 5/5 — 좋은 앱 입니다

*2022-03-13*

안드에서 ios로 돌아오면서 텍스트 뷰어 몇가지 써봤는데 가장 깔끔하고 편안하네요 잘 쓰겠습니다
다만 혹시 요청드리고픈건 페이지 이동기능이 있으면 좋겠다는 생각이 드네요 페이지수가 크면 스크롤로 이동하는게 조금 불편해서요
혹시 유료기능에라도 있을까싶었는데 그건 없는게 아쉬울뿐입니다 
어쨋던 유료업그레이드가 아깝지는 않은 좋은 앱입니다 감사합니다

### 5/5 — 버그있어요

*2022-02-16*

기종은 아이폰13pro입니다

파일 여는데 제대러 로딩도 안되서 아예 잘려있구요
닫기 누르면 파일 저장중이라고 뜨고 꺼지지 않아서 앱을 종료시켜야 하더라구요
다른 얒으로 하면 정상적으로 잘되는데 해결 부탁드립니다
