Web pages are full of clutter, distractions, and formats that are hard to save, read, and search later. ReaderView turns messy content into a clean, distraction-free reading experience so you can focus on what matters. Save articles, documents, social posts, and even YouTube videos in a readable format for later. ReaderView works with: - Web articles and blog posts - Word documents and text files - PDFs (text-only for now) - YouTube videos, with transcript view while still letting you play the video - Long-form social media posts, including Twitter/X articles Features: - One tap to open a clean Reader View from almost any web page - Save content for offline reading, including images - Highlight passages and add notes - Search across all your saved articles with full-text search - Find text inside each saved article - Organize your reading with folders - Share highlights and export as HTML, text, or PDF - Sync across your devices with iCloud - Support for Spotlight search - Dark Mode and Auto-Scroll for comfortable reading - Supports Asian languages and right-to-left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew Works from Safari, Apple News, Twitter/X, Feedly, Word files, YouTube, and more. Have feedback or ideas? Contact laurent@appblit.com. If ReaderView helps you, an App Store review would mean a lot.

Fantastic app

I usually use google chrome browser on my iPhone but the one thing I always miss using google chrome is the reader view function that is built into safari that takes away all the ads and shows you the text and pictures of an article only. That feature is amazing but of course chrome, being owned by google which makes most of its money in advertising, would never add that function to its browser. ReaderView is the perfect app as I can load up an article (or any webpage) in chrome and then click on ReaderView and all of the annoying ads and fluff is gone and I am just left with the article and pictures that I actually wanted to read.There is really only one main thing that I would like to request from the developers: Please add in a swipe to go back/swipe to exit function. I usually use my phone one handed when I am reading articles. The issue is that modern phones including my iPhone 12 are so large that I cannot easily reach the top left portion of the screen to press on the little “X” button to exit out of ReaderView when I am done reading. This tends to get quite annoying as I continuously have to use my other hand and reach up and press the “X” to exit ReaderView and go back to the site I was on before. Typically in all other web browsing, I can get around using only one hand because there are various navigation gestures meaning I never have to reach to the top left of the screen and can do everything with just one hand. If ReaderView added a function where I could swipe from the left side to close the window and go back to the original media this would be an 11/10 app. Please please please consider adding this functionality in as I am sure I am not the only one who wishes this was a function and it would make the usability of ReaderView much better. I honestly think I would use the app even more if this one simple thing was added.

I constantly read articles online but the reader option of mobile safari does not always work.This app works on many web sites and saves my articles for later.Plus I can highlight and even publish online the readable and highlighted articles. Nice!

Great app for streamlining and reformatting text in an easy to read way (especially when safari fails). It would be better if there was a way to search the text, and to be able to return to page location when you leave safari for a while and the reader exits.

This seems to be a rare find. Allows me to republish an article in good reader view with a unique URL that i can share online. Neatly built app does a fine job of allowing you to save copies of your articles & allows saving in PDF format as well. Wish more people would discover this app & the developer keeps improving the app.

- taller popup to see list of fonts - fixed YouTube overlay icon to always look nice - fixed opening X/Twitter or YouTube links from their app - fixed PDF content not showing (was always empty!)
