What's New in Velo

1.0.4

September 16, 2026

A new name for the same app: Velo is the focus reader. Read any EPUB or PDF you own one word at a time, or on the page, and keep one position between them. New screenshots and a new App Store preview show the three modes and the import pipeline as they are today. Pro subscriptions now show plainly on the product page: monthly with a 7-day free trial, or annual. Small fixes throughout.

User reviews

My new favorite app!

For years I thought I had trouble reading because my eyes would jump around the page. This app is nothing short of genius! With this app I’ve found that my ideal pace is 250 words per minute. Cannot wait to share this with my friends and family who have also previously struggled to read in a focused manner! Get this app while it’s still free!!

Simply the best!

I’ve tried multiple apps and this one is the cleanest and easiest.
