What’s new
Version 1.4 · Updated August 28, 2026
New in 1.4.0 • Interlinear translation now covers a ±10-page window around where you're reading and caches results, so revisiting a page shows the translation instantly instead of re-translating. • The paper texture background is now optional — switch it off in reading settings for a plain page. Fixed • Premium subscriptions no longer switch off about a month after purchase. Apple's renewal notifications were being rejected, so an active subscription was never extended past its first period. • Signing in on a second device now survives an app restart. Premium, your cloud library and reading sync used to be lost on every launch. • A purchase completed while the app was closed is now picked up on next launch. • Books reopen at the last page you actually read after the app has been in the background, rather than an earlier position. • The bookmark indicator now appears as soon as you bookmark a page. • Fixed a crash when rotating an iPad in the Characters view. • Fixed a crash in device-to-device sharing. • Fixed text-to-speech voice selection errors.
