## What is RenpyReader?

RenpyReader is capable of running both Renpy's and ONS:
*Quickly runs Renpy's visual novels and ensures language compatibility.
*You can readily open the folder where the project is located, view the archived content or other configurations, and facilitate stocking or recovery.

Notes:
*When importing a project, please make sure there is a "Renpy" folder under the project folder (to confirm that it is a Renpy project) or there is a ONS scripter file in there.
*In addition to file transfer, you can also place the Renpy/ONS project in the "Documents" folder through your own iTunes. This application only provides a runtime environment and does not provide any Renpy/ONS projects. Please confirm that your Renpy/ONS project comes from a legitimate channel.

### 1/5 — 以前买过onsplayer和renpyviewer作者说会补偿新的

遊戲點開以後閃退

### 1/5 — ONS游戏闪退

*2026-03-06, version 1.12*

Start the ONS game and flash back directly

### 3/5 — ONS doesn’t work, but Renpy works great.

*2026-02-07*

Haven’t had long but ONS currently is bugged where as soon as it launches a novel before you even hit the launch screen it crashes. But a Renpy novel is completely fine… so take that as it may? The Renpy novels I’ve tried so far on here looks and feels amazing. Very smooth gameplay on that side of things. I’m going to try a few more the next few days and may change the review but for now this will be what it is. If the ONS worked it’d be a 5 star without a doubt.
