About Manara: Read Better
Go through books as fast as movies. Manara reads with you. Tap a word you don't know, ask about a line you didn't follow, or have the scene in front of you drawn from the book's own words. It only knows the book up to your page, so nothing ahead is ever spoiled. SCENES, DRAWN Every book builds a world: a castle three centuries back, a city on a planet that doesn't exist yet, a kitchen down the street. Pick a passage and Manara draws it: the place, the light, the people in it, from what the book has actually said. Faces stay the same from chapter to chapter, because the app keeps track of the cast as the book describes them. Not how you pictured it? Direct the scene and ask for another take. IDEAS, EXPLAINED Ask what a passage is getting at, why a character did that, or who someone is again. The answer comes from the book itself and opens beside the page, with the passage it's about right above it. Select a passage, or nothing at all, and ask. The conversation is still there when you come back. EVERY WORD, IN ITS SENTENCE Tap a word or a phrase for what it means right here, in plainer words than the word itself. Not a dictionary's list of senses. The words you look up come back for a short review, spaced out so they stay. THE STORY SO FAR Back after a few weeks away? Get what has happened, who matters and what is still open, up to your page and no further. IN ANY LANGUAGE Reading in your second language? Translate a passage and read the two side by side, in any of 22 languages. A NOTEBOOK FOR EVERY BOOK Highlights, questions, translations, bookmarks and scenes, kept together book by book. A PROPER READER Pages that turn like paper, or scroll if you prefer. Your own type, size, spacing and margins, in Paper, Sand, Sepia or a true-black Night. Bring your EPUBs and PDFs, or start with one of 36 classics already on the shelf. The book works offline; the help needs a connection. READ MORE A daily goal, a streak, a reminder at the time you pick, and widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Once the hard books open up, you finish more of them. Sign in and your place, highlights and notebook follow you between iPhone and iPad. Start free: Manara's help covers the first third of every book, and a subscription opens the rest.
