SoloReadは「読むためのアプリではなく、読めてしまう状態をつくる」ことを目指した読書アプリです。 毎日、青空文庫から厳選された短編が提示されます。 選んだ瞬間から、静かな読書が始まります。 余計なボタンも、通知も、広告もありません。 【SoloReadの特徴】 ◆ 今日の出会い 毎日、未読の作品から厳選して提示。 迷わず、読み始められます。 ◆ 静謐な読書体験 起動した瞬間から本文が始まり、読み終わるまで余計なUIは現れません。 ステータスバーも消え、ただ文字だけと向き合えます。 ◆ 自動栞 スクロールを止めると、自動で栞が挟まります。 次に開いたとき、続きから読めます。 ◆ 一期一会 一度読んだ作品は、二度と提示されません。 常に「まだ見ぬ一篇」との出会いがあります。 【こんな方におすすめ】 ・短編小説を気軽に読みたい ・読書アプリの機能過多に疲れた ・静かな環境で集中して読みたい ・青空文庫の作品に触れたい ・シンプルな読書体験を求めている 【収録作品について】 青空文庫に掲載されている作品の中から、 読了目安時間が適切な短編を厳選して収録しています。 芥川龍之介、太宰治、夏目漱石、宮沢賢治など、 日本文学の名作に出会えます。 【ないもの】 SoloReadには、以下の機能がありません。 ・検索機能 ・評価・レビュー機能 ・SNSシェア機能 ・広告 ・複雑な設定 ・通知 ・読書記録 引き算の美学で、読書だけに集中できる場所を作りました。 --- 静かに、一篇を。 今日の出会いが、あなたを待っています。

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SoloRead at none against SCP docs's shown. SoloRead also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
