Read manga, manhwa and webtoons in one app, with natural-voice Read Aloud, offline downloads and page translation. Bring your library over from other readers and keep your own CBZ, CBR, PDF and EPUB files. WHO IS YOMU FOR? Readers of manga, manhwa, manhua, webtoons and novels who want one app for all of it: the series you follow, Yomu Originals, translated pages, and your own comic and book files from local storage or a NAS, with Read Aloud when your eyes need a rest. HOW DOES YOMU WORK? Browse, search and read right in the app, with no browser tabs. Yomu also connects to WebDAV, SMB, NFS and OPDS servers, and can use an iCloud Drive folder as a library. Every series page opens with a Preview: a video when there is one, then the first pages of the first chapter. Page Previews can be turned off in Settings. WHEN SHOULD I USE YOMU INSTEAD OF A BROWSER? Yomu downloads chapters for offline reading, syncs progress across your devices with iCloud, and keeps your reading lists up to date automatically. You keep your place across hundreds of series without managing bookmarks. CAN YOMU READ ALOUD? Yes. Read Aloud has Natural Voices in English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Hindi, downloaded automatically over Wi-Fi. It keeps playing when you switch to another app or lock the screen, with the cover, the chapter and play, pause, next and previous controls on the lock screen, in Control Center and on headphones. Follow Panels zooms the reader to each panel as it is spoken. CAN YOMU TRANSLATE MANGA? Yes. Yomu translates manga into 27 languages, with text wrapped to fit the original speech balloons. Translate an Area turns any part of a page into one balloon, and Circle to Translate does the same when you draw a loop round the lettering. WHAT ARE YOMU ORIGINALS? Comics, novels and voiced Dramas made for Yomu. Premium readers can Watch a chapter as a voiced, animated episode and share a clip. Pages that leave the app in an exported file or a shared page carry a small Yomu Originals mark. Prefer your own library? Turn off Show Yomu Originals in Settings to hide them everywhere. AUTO ZOOM: PANEL-BY-PANEL READING Yomu finds the panels on each page and glides through them one at a time, turning dense manga pages into a cinematic, panel-by-panel reading experience that works especially well on smaller screens.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Yomu at 3.4 against TinyReaderHub's 1.0. Yomu also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (50% vs 36%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. TinyReaderHub sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Yomu sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Yomu holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yomu has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of TinyReaderHub's written reviews are positive against 50% of Yomu's.
TinyReaderHub ships an update monthly, Yomu every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
