Immersive is now automatic: your ebook and audiobook line up on their own, text highlights with the narration and the page turns itself. One purchase, no subscription.
Your ebook and your audiobook, synced on their own. Import both and Continuum matches the chapters for you. The text highlights along with the narration and the page turns itself.
Your own files. One purchase, no subscription.
Read, listen, or do both at once in Immersive mode. On iPhone and iPad.
Some books are hard to put down. A chapter on the sofa. Another on the way. Or a quiet moment following the words as you listen to the narration. Listening is reading, too: you choose how to step into the story.
IMMERSIVE, AUTOMATIC
With chaptered EPUBs and audiobooks, Continuum links the chapters by itself, so you no longer have to match them one by one. Highlighting follows the narration word by word, and automatic page turns keep the passage in view. Choose the highlight color or turn it off. You can review and adjust any chapter link.
YOUR BOOKS, NOBODY ELSE'S
Import from Files or from a compatible Calibre library. Browse as a shelf or a list, and organize by title, author, and series. Read and listen offline when the files are on your device.
MAKE EVERY PAGE YOUR OWN
Adjust font, size, line spacing, margins, and background. Import your own TTF or OTF fonts. Highlight phrases or paragraphs, pick a color, and add notes. Revisit your annotations and bookmarks, search inside the book, or move through its chapters. Scan a page of your print copy to find that passage in the EPUB.
FULL-FEATURED AUDIO
Play M4B, MP3, and M4A. Adjust speed, set a sleep timer, and navigate by chapter. Background playback, Lock Screen controls, and CarPlay.
ON IPHONE AND IPAD
iCloud syncs your library, progress, bookmarks, annotations, and chapter links. Store imported EPUB and audio files in iCloud Drive and recover them on your other device. External audio folders are connected on each device. Imported fonts stay on the device where you add them.
YOUR READING RHYTHM
Weekly, monthly, and yearly activity, a calendar, streaks, and time per book. Reading, listening, and Immersive are counted separately, with the share of each.
A SPACE FOR YOUR BOOKS
A refreshed interface, revised dark mode, and portrait and landscape layouts.
ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
Unlock Immersive, reading, and listening with a single in-app purchase. No recurring fees. Restore your purchase with your Apple Account.
WHAT IMMERSIVE NEEDS
Matching EPUB and audiobook editions, both with chapters. Initial preparation downloads a model and takes a few minutes the first time. Continuous audio without chapter markers does not align reliably.
* Books are not included. You bring your own legally obtained, DRM-free EPUBs and audiobooks. Continuum does not sell books or offer a catalog or service for obtaining them. It does not open DRM-protected files or remove DRM. The purchase unlocks app features only. Books shown in the screenshots are in the public domain.

This app is incredible for the price! upload your own files and you can read up to 10x when most apps can’t offer more than 2-3x. Additionally being able to add the epub and follow along is excellent if you don’t mind turning the pages yourself :) works on ipad beautifully and hopefully apple watch one day
Developer Response
Hi, thanks for the kind words on the concept! Great news, the next update bumps playback speed all the way up to 10x, with a manual fine-tune so you can dial in exactly the pace you want. It's already on its way. Hope you'll enjoy the faster listening!Continuum App - team
Doesn’t Work
SilentVirtue
I paid for the app, but it didn’t work. Loaded both my epub and m4b audio files, but it wouldn’t play the audio file. The audio file plays fine in every other app.
Developer Response
I’m sorry you paid for an app that couldn’t play your audiobook. The M4B import issue was addressed in an earlier update, and Continuum 3.0 now includes further improvements to import and playback. If that particular M4B still fails, please contact social@continuumreader.app with your iOS version and what happens when you open it. I’d like to help resolve it.
Does not sync
Bkm_0990
Does nothing better than just listening on a audiobook player and opening the book on a epub reader. Useless
Developer Response
I’m sorry syncing didn’t work for you. Continuum 3.0 is now available with automatic chapter matching, highlighting that follows the narration, and automatic page turns. It needs matching EPUB and audiobook editions with chapters in both files, and initial preparation takes a few minutes. If your books still won’t sync, please email social@cotinuumreader.app with the title and file formats so we can help investigate.
No more linking chapters one by one. Import your ebook and your audiobook: Continuum lines them up for you, the text highlights with the narration and the page turns itself.
