Tap a book and you're back on your line: iRead opens your last chapter right where you left off, with the books you've started waiting in Reading Now.
iRead is a calm reader for people learning a language through real texts. Bring in a book or an article in the language you're learning, read at your own pace, translate unfamiliar words with a tap, and keep them in a personal vocabulary.
READ ANYTHING
• Books in FB2 (including fb2.zip), EPUB, and TXT
• Articles and notes in Markdown
• PDFs — select text right on the page
• Pages of paper books — take a photo and the text is recognized automatically
• Pasted text and anything shared from other apps
TRANSLATION WITHOUT THE INTERNET
• Translation runs on your device — fast and private
• Any pair of system-supported languages: you choose what you read and what you translate into
• Language packs download once; after that everything works offline
A PERSONAL VOCABULARY, WITH REVIEW
- Save words and phrases together with the sentence you found them in
- Categories, favorites, and search
- Simple spaced repetition: short sessions of up to ten words, separate
for each language — you only ever answer "I know it" or "I don't"
- Quiet statistics, no streaks: total words, added this week, learned,
and the words you find hardest
- Saved words are gently underlined as you read, so what you've learned
shows up in the text itself
COMFORTABLE READING
• Book-style typesetting: justified text, hyphenation, chapter headings
• Four warm paper themes and a dark mode
• Seven text sizes on top of the system setting
• Tapping a book picks up right where you left off — straight to your last chapter, with the contents one swipe back
• A Reading Now section at the top of your library keeps started books close at hand
SYNC AND PRIVACY
• Your library and vocabulary sync across your devices through iCloud
• Data lives in your private iCloud database; translation never leaves the device
Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- Review has been rebuilt and simplified. A word now moves through three
steps — today, in three days, in two weeks — and after that counts as
learned and leaves the rotation.
- A new Progress screen: how many words you've saved in total and this
week, a breakdown by language, and your hardest words — the ones you
miss most often.
- The review icon now shows a quiet dot instead of a number.
- Fixed: words saved after updating could stay invisible to review. They
are added back automatically, together with their history.
- Fixed: when syncing across devices, the same word could be scheduled
twice. Duplicates are now merged and the better progress is kept — you
may see a smaller number of words due than before. Nothing is lost.
- Deleting a saved word now asks for confirmation.
- Various small fixes and improvements.
