What's New in Sutra

2.5.0

November 3, 2026

• Made for iPhone Duo — Open a book across the inner display and it becomes a real two-page spread, with a page curl that follows your finger and text that stays clear of the hinge. Fold the Duo to the outer display and you get one clean page. • Every format, both screens — EPUB, PDF and comics all turn facing pages, and Panel Mode reads comics panel by panel on the outer display, flat inner display or folded one. • Follows the fold — The Library grid, reader controls and layout adjust as you flip the Duo to the seated pose, fold it halfway or work in Split View. iPhone and iPad look exactly as before.

User reviews

Nice layout but lacks CBR support

This app has a nice layout and works well with CBZ graphic novel files, but it lacks support for a critical format that I use which is CBR. I thought that by purchasing the Pro license it would add this but sadly it does not. Perhaps the developer can add this support for those of us who like the app and have paid for Sutra Pro.

Seems good

Was able to import my library easily and it seems the reader is ok, but without a free trial I’m hesitant to purchase pro because only having access to the first 7 pages of a book I’m unable to confirm if I’ll run into issues like I have in other cbz readers, too bad.

Response from developer

Thanks for checking out the app! The 7-page preview limit only applies to CBZ files, so you can test the panel engine on complete PDF or EPUB comics for free before deciding on Pro.

优秀,无广告,一次性买入价格贵了些

Response from developer

感谢支持!我们坚持无广告和一次性买断制,是为了让大家买断后能永久使用,无需承担后续的订阅费用。

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.

Response from developer

Thanks for letting us know! We haven't been able to reproduce this sync behavior on our end. Please reach out via our website support page with your device details and app version so we can look into this for you.

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.
