Read your EPUBs with a simple finger gesture. PageFlick is an EPUB reader for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Import a DRM-free EPUB from the system file picker or Open With, then read with on-screen controls or camera gestures. Raise one index finger with your other fingers curled. Swipe left for the next page or right for the previous page. A camera guide, practice view and sensitivity control help you get started. Make reading comfortable with text settings, reading themes and a table of contents. The library keeps your books and saved reading positions locally. Camera frames are analysed on your device. PageFlick does not record or upload video. Camera access is optional: you can use the on-screen reading controls without it. The free library holds one book at a time. Remove it to import a replacement. The optional Unlimited Books upgrade is a one-time in-app purchase that removes the limit on adding books. Restore Purchases is available in the app. PageFlick supports DRM-free EPUB files. PDFs and books protected by another store are not supported. Requires iOS 27, iPadOS 27 or macOS 27 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PageFlick at every 3 weeks against Yomu's every 4 months. Yomu's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 27.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
