What's New in Sutra

2.4.0

October 15, 2026

• Better panel reading — Comics and manga now use a single, more accurate panel detector, so panel-by-panel reading finds panel edges more reliably. • Manga reading direction — Turn on manga-style reading for a whole library (right under Sync on its Settings page) or a single series, and right-to-left comics page the right way round, with taps and page curls agreeing. PDFs get the Manga/Regular switch too. Comics that declare their own direction are respected. • Four new reading fonts — Atkinson Hyperlegible, OpenDyslexic, EB Garamond and Libre Baskerville are now available in the reader. • Stacks by author — Sorting by author now groups books into author stacks, with the series or author name and book count under each stack. Books with no author sit at the end. • Clearer library tiles — Every book and stack is the same size and aligned in the grid, with title and author underneath. The Sort & Filter button lights up when filters are on, and long collection names wrap to two lines. • Series always on — Series grouping is no longer a setting; it is always available under Show. • Safer downloads and imports — Downloads and imports are checked before they are added to your library, and corrupt or oversized files are rejected instead of half-importing. • Import results — Importing several files now shows what was added, what was already in your library and what could not be imported, and you can cancel a large import. • Self-signed servers — Covers and downloads now work with servers whose certificate you have trusted. • Faster manga page turns — Right-to-left comics now prepare the next page ahead of time, so turning pages is quick. • Comics open on the full page first — A comic, scanned PDF or fixed-layout book now opens on the full page the first time, with a hint pointing at the panel button. After that it reopens in whichever mode you last used for that book. • More accurate reading time — Time-left estimates no longer swing wildly on very fast page turns. • Search keyboard fixed — The keyboard no longer gets stuck after clearing the search box, and it no longer pops back up when you return to the Library from a book. You can also drag the list to put it away.

优秀,无广告,一次性买入价格贵了些

Great book reader

This is a great app, but one area of improvement it needs is page sync. I’ll read for a while and come back later on the same device and the page is in a totally different place in the book. Of course it’s just as bad when switching devices. I know page sync is being handled by iCloud, but I would think there’s a better way to be more accurate.

Pay walled predatory gimmick

You should make your app paid instead of lying and pay walling after a download. Predatory and freemium BS.

Response from developer

Appreciate the feedback. To clarify - Sutra isn't freemium-with-a-paywall-surprise: epub/pdf and the major library servers (Calibre, Kavita, Grimmory, etc.) are free permanently, no time limits. Pro only gates a few specific things (cbz/mobi format support, Komga server) that fund building a native parser. As of the current release, you can preview the first 5 pages of any .cbz before deciding. If there's a specific feature that felt bait-and-switch, let me know - happy to look at it.

Great Self Hosted Kavita Reader

As a standalone reader it’s pretty good. With self hosted Kavita and the two way progress sync its incredible. Setup was super easy and I’ve had zero issues thus far.

I can only assume most of the issues people will have is not due to this app but with whatever server they’re trying to connect to.

Love the app, highly recommend.

Read more books.

I tried a fair dozen different reader apps. Sutra was the hands down winner. From ease of connecting to servers to the visual presentation of individual books: high marks all around. Easy choice to pay for the full Monty; gimme those comics, yes please!
