What's New in SimplyRead
4.0.0
September 10, 2026
- A New Look: Every book gets a generated cover, titles are set in the reading serif, and the library shelf, search and settings have been redesigned — a shelf of forty text files now reads as forty books. - Continue Reading: The library opens with a card for the unfinished book you read most recently, showing its cover, progress and a button to pick up where you left off. - Dark Mode: A book now opens on a dark page whenever your phone is in Dark Mode, not only when you choose Dark by hand. Your saved paper theme comes back in the light. - Downloads: A download from a URL now shows how far it has actually got, and a failed download can be retried from the queue. - Find in Book: Matches are now highlighted on rendered EPUB and Markdown pages, not just in plain text. - Faster & Fixed: Quicker page turns, chapter lists and search results, plus fixes to Chinese numeral chapter titles, swipe-to-delete in the library, dragging the playback scrubber, Find & Replace in the editor, and iCloud restore.
