It opens with the book you're reading, the ones you've read lately and what you've added, and leads to everything else: all books, authors, series, shelves, genres, languages, unread and finished. Every list can be divided by author, series, shelf, genre, language or reading state, and then once more, put in the order you like and shown as covers, small covers or a list. Each list remembers how you set it. Make shelves directly, then rename, reorder or delete them; with iCloud they're the same on iPhone and iPad. Select several books at once to put them on a shelf, mark them finished or delete them. Authors are listed A–Z by surname, however a book writes the name, each with a page of their books and series in order. Search finds authors and series as well as books. Also: opening a book no longer marks it as started, and imported books stay unopened. A book counts as finished at the end of its story, even when notes or a licence follow. Genres are recognised better, note numbers are easier to tap, and possible duplicates are found even when the author's name is written differently. ### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-23 New: reading stats for every book. A calendar shows the days you read it with the minutes of each, alongside the total time, your pace, your best day and longest run. Open them from a book's menu, its details or the stats screen. With iCloud, your reading on iPhone and iPad counts together, and the stats show the time on each. Books now finish themselves: turn to the last page and the book shows 100% and moves to Finished. Read aloud remembers the exact sentence where it stopped, even after listening with the screen locked. Your place is kept by the words on screen, so rotating, a new font size or your other device no longer moves you a page. Books syncing with iCloud show as one quiet line in the library, which says when they're waiting for Wi‑Fi or a connection. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-10-23 No release notes. ## More apps by Patrik Drhlik - [Hory.app: Mountain Explorer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/horyapp-mountain-explorer/id1505863292) - [RocaBoo](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rocaboo/id1549740158) All apps by Patrik Drhlik: https://appshunter.io/developer/1505863291 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
