What's New in Stasis

1.2.3

August 17, 2026

- [UX] Improved Rewind feature in landscape mode

User reviews

Amazing

Love the app. The UX is almost perfect. First app like this that is doable for ebooks. Just have a few small issues that I think would make a little more usable. It would be great if long words showed on the screen a little longer. Especially in fantasy novels a new name just flashes across and you don’t have time to absorb it. Second, it seems like it doesn’t detect chapter breaks but it could be the book I’m reading. But there should be some sort of pause or something so you know it’s a new scene. Also long dashes cause multiple words on the screen at the same time and “…” after a word shows each dot as a separate word.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot for the review! Such feedback is especially valuable! Regarding the pause on chapters, plz double-check that you have this “Chapter announcement” ON in settings(it should be by default), it would pause on every chapter present in Table of contents. If it is already ON, then it must be an issue with how we parse it. We improve it continuously but it is a painstaking process, considering the amount of different corner cases. Especially for PDFs. And that is why your feedback is especially helpful, thx again!

exactly what im looking for

lots of other apps doing similar things but blocked behind paywalls. this app has everything i could ever want, color customization, intuitive UI, and so much more while also being free ! 10/10 would recommend

Needs one thing

I love this app, it’s so well thought out. All I need is a gesture that can rewind. Thank you so much for sharing this app

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! And thanks for the feature idea. Have a feeling you’ll see it soon :)

Love it- Could be better!

Today is the first day of me using the app. I like it quite a bit so far- but as someone who’s read ebooks before, it’s quite time consuming to find my way to where I was. If there was some feature like a word search or a novel page browser so I could find where I left off, it would get 5 stars from me. Please, don’t ever include some stupid micro transactions. I would pay a couple bucks for the app but no micro transactions.

Thanks for the feedback! Actually, the Search feature just arrived in the latest version! You can find it right behind the Table of Contents icon on the reader screen. If that is what you were looking for, please consider that 5th ⭐!
