The ultimate EPUB reader. Now with Calibre Sync. Set goals, track stats, highlight key moments, and read your way in a clean, customizable app The all-in-one EPUB reader for iOS, built natively with SwiftUI. Fully customizable, fast, and designed to disappear so you can simply read. YOUR BOOKS, YOUR WAY Choose from 200+ built-in fonts or import your own. Adjust size, weight, line spacing, paragraph spacing, alignment, and hyphenation so your eyes never fight the page. Set different margins for portrait and landscape. Save per-book preferences so a textbook, a novel, and poetry each display perfectly every time. Override publisher styles when they get in the way. True edge-to-edge reading maximizes every pixel of your screen. SMART DARK MODE AND EYE CARE Read comfortably day or night. Dark mode uses intelligent image inversion so photos and illustrations stay natural. Adjust brightness right inside the reader without leaving your book. Built-in 20-20-20 eye health reminders suggest short breaks to reduce strain during long sessions. POWERFUL LIBRARY, INSTANT ACCESS Handle 5,000+ books with smooth scrolling and no lag. Search instantly by title, author, or series. Automatic metadata and series detection keep collections neatly grouped. 8 sort modes, saved filters, and tags pulled from EPUB metadata let you slice your library any way you like. Spotlight indexing opens books directly from your home screen. NO LOCK-IN — SYNC YOUR WAY justRead never locks books into a proprietary database. Point the app at any folder: iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or on-device storage. Manage everything in Calibre on Mac or PC, sync through your preferred cloud, and read on iPhone or iPad. Switch apps anytime — your books stay in standard folders, exactly where you left them. A READING EXPERIENCE THAT FEELS NATURAL Full EPUB 3 support for modern layouts, embedded media, and advanced typography. Swipe, tap, or scroll continuously. Jump with the Table of Contents or find any quote with full-text search. Built-in dictionary for instant lookups. Your position is auto-saved so you resume on the exact same line. RTL language support, screen rotation lock, and in-reader brightness control included. HIGHLIGHTS, NOTES, AND BOOKMARKS Highlight in 7 colors to separate quotes, study notes, and references. Add text notes to any highlight. Share passages, browse all highlights across books in one place, or export to PDF. Create bookmarks with custom titles and jump back with a single tap. TRACK YOUR READING JOURNEY A reading-by-hour heatmap shows when you read most. Monthly and yearly breakdowns reveal how your pace changes over time. Set daily goals at four levels and track streaks. A 30-day activity chart, milestone badges, and smart nudges keep you motivated. Finish a book and generate a shareable completion card with your stats. WIDGETS THAT KEEP YOU READING Currently Reading widget in small or medium size. Lock screen widgets for at-a-glance progress. Home screen rows for In Progress, Recently Added, and Finished books. BUILT FOR IOS Native SwiftUI, tuned for performance. Spring-driven animations and haptic feedback make every interaction feel tactile. Full accessibility built in: screen readers, voice control, Dynamic Type, and motion reduction all work automatically. COMMUNITY-DRIVEN ROADMAP Browse the in-app roadmap, vote on features, comment on requests, and submit ideas. Development priorities are guided by readers who use the app every day. Available in 14 languages including English, Japanese, German, Korean, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese, and Czech.

I have tried and used many different reading apps. This is the best one I have found that syncs to a Calibre library. The level of customization is equal to the great, but abandoned, Marvin app with superior library management. The developer is very responsive. I don’t need the statistics (I turn them off), but if of interest there is a wealth of reading statistics.

Briefly: * Amazing app, customizability is glorious* Strongly recommend going online to fish up custom fonts — I find “Return of Ganon” works well for quickly reading text — and public-domain e-books * Experiment with background and font colors (the classic Blue Screen of Death look works surprisingly well)* Price somewhat painful* Hope this app catches on; it’s exactly what I was looking for

Developer Response
Thank you so much for the kind words and the five stars, and sorry the App Store ate your original review.It means a lot to hear the customizability is working the way we hoped.And the Blue Screen of Death theme made us laugh out loud, and of course we are going to try it.We hear you on the price and are thinking carefully about that.Once again: thank you and happy reading!

Missing a lot of basic functions

The “search within book” function doesn’t work at all. I can’t use the progress bar to scrub through the book - I have to either turn pages one by one or navigate by chapter. I’m used to being able to just slide my finger over the progress bar to jump to a different region of the book. This is the only ereader I’ve ever used that was missing these two obvious features.

Developer Response
Hi E.R. Satz, thank you for the honest feedback. I'm sorry to hear you ran into these issues. Both progress bar scrubbing and in-book search are present in justRead.app, so it sounds like something may not be working as expected on your device. I'd love to get to the bottom of this, could you reach out to me directly at support@justread.app? I'll make sure we sort it out.

Reader: 3/5Price: 1/5Overall I like the app. Has a lot of options to make it look how you want. I like the statistics, and the dev is quick to respond to issue you have. But the app doesn’t appear to support pdf which is a deal breaker for me compared to my current app. But my biggest issue with the app is the price. If the pricing was still the introductory price I’d have less issue with it. But for $25 a year, I just don’t see the benefit of what this offers me over the numerous other epub readers that are one time pay or even other subscription based ereaders like book fusion.

Hi Jeffrey, thanks for the thoughtful review and for the kind words about the customization and stats!Great news on the PDF front: PDF support is actively in development and will be landing in one of the next few releases. It's been one of the most requested features in the roadmap, and we're excited to get it into your hands soon.Appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, it really does shape what we work on next.
