What's New in Tipitaka Pali Reader

3.1.1+132

October 28, 2026

Open books are tabs you slide between, and three line menu icon opens the menu. Tablets held upright get this layout too. Pinch to resize the text. X-ray has its own button in the control bar. Copy messages show at the top, so Android's copy preview doesn't cover them.
