What's new in 5.5
■ New features
- Pins: in an EPUB book, select a passage and tap Pin, or touch and hold an image, such as a map, to pin it. Tap the pin button at the bottom of the page to look at your last pin without losing your place, or touch and hold it to see all your pins. On iPad, a pin can also float over the page or dock beside it.
- Back to Page: after any jump in an EPUB book, from Contents, search, a bookmark, a highlight or a link, tap Back to Page at the bottom to return to where you were.
- Audiobookshelf: connect your Audiobookshelf server as a new source, browse its libraries, and download audiobooks and ebooks into your library. Your listening and reading position and finished books sync both ways, and you can sign in with single sign-on.
- An audiobook keeps playing after you close its player. A mini player above the tabs brings it back.
- Touch and hold a skip button to choose how far it skips, from 5 to 60 seconds, separately for back and forward. Car Mode, the Lock Screen and CarPlay use the same lengths.
- While Read Aloud or a book's narration is on, double-tap a word to read on from its sentence, even while paused.
- iPhone Duo: when it is open, books show two pages side by side. The iPad Layout setting is now called Pages Side by Side.
■ Improvements
- Headings can now have their own size and weight, as well as their own font.
- The top and bottom reading bars each have a Text Size slider, from 100 to 200 percent, on the Reading Bars page.
- Reading Speed now shows words a minute, or characters a minute in Japanese and Chinese, with pages a minute beside it.
- Find Better Details also searches Apple Books, Hardcover when connected, and Audible for audiobooks. It can fill in a book's series, and its Sources page lets you choose where it looks.
■ Fixes
- Fixed a crash with natural voices on iPhone 17 and iPads with the M5 chip.
■ Localization
- JustRead now speaks Russian, and all new text is natively translated across all 21 supported languages.
Released Mar 7, 2026. Current version shipped Oct 19, 2026.
Store description
EPUB, PDF, comics, and audiobooks in one native iOS reader. Fast, deeply customizable, and built to disappear so you can simply read.
FOUR FORMATS, ONE SHELF
Read EPUB 3 and PDF. Read CBZ and CBR comics and manga, with two-page spreads, double-tap zoom, and a reading direction you set per book. Listen to audiobooks with chapters, a sleep timer, Car Mode, and CarPlay. Or follow along with EPUB 3 narration, where the text highlights in time with the voice.
READ ALOUD
Any book can be read to you, by any Apple voice on your device or by natural neural voices in 31 languages that you download once and then run offline. The sentence highlights as it is spoken and the pages turn on their own, with speed presets, sentence skips, a sleep timer, and Lock Screen controls. Prepare a book in advance and keep listening with the screen off.
TYPOGRAPHY YOU CONTROL
200+ fonts, or import your own. Tune size, weight, line and paragraph spacing, alignment, hyphenation, and separate margins for portrait and landscape. Save settings per book so a novel, a textbook, and poetry each look right. Build your own color themes and let them switch at sunset. Choose which buttons the reader toolbar shows and where a tap opens it, and give links their own color and style. Smart dark mode keeps images natural, and in-reader brightness, Line Focus, and eye-care break reminders protect your eyes.
NO LOCK-IN, EVER
Your books stay ordinary files in an ordinary folder, never a proprietary database. Point JustRead at any folder: on device, iCloud Drive, or one your cloud app syncs through Files. Import from a Calibre server or any OPDS catalog. Email a book to your Kindle or PocketBook.
IN SYNC WITH YOUR E-READER
Your reading position follows you to any e-reader running KOReader, a Kobo included, in both directions. Connect a self-hosted Grimmory server to browse and download its books, send books to it, and keep status, ratings, highlights, notes, and bookmarks in step both ways.
A LIBRARY THAT SCALES
Thousands of books with no lag, and a book opens in about a second. Instant search by title, author, or series. Automatic metadata and series detection, 11 sort modes, saved filters, collections, and tags. Edit any book's details by hand, description included. Spotlight opens any book from your home screen.
HIGHLIGHTS, NOTES, BOOKMARKS
Highlight, underline, and attach a note. Browse every highlight across your whole library in one place, share a quote as a card, or export to Markdown, PDF, or Readwise.
YOUR READING, IN NUMBERS
Daily goals, a yearly books goal, streaks, and milestone badges. An hourly heatmap shows when you read best. Monthly and yearly recaps, plus a story-style Reading Wrap that turns your year into cards worth sharing.
AND THE REST
Home screen and lock screen widgets. Dictionary and translation. Full-text search and a nested table of contents. iCloud sync, so you resume on the exact line on any device. Right-to-left and Japanese vertical text. A page curl, if you want one.
Free for 14 days, then a subscription or a lifetime purchase, both with Family Sharing. Available in 21 languages.
