Listen to your audio and video with a transcript beside it. Upload an MP3 or M4A file, or an MP4 video of up to 2 GB, at readplace.com/upload, then open it in the app to hear it and read along with timestamps. Audio and video share 20 minutes of transcript a day. When Readplace no longer recognises your sign-in, the app now takes you back to sign in instead of failing quietly every time you open it. A private upload now explains that it has no public link to share, and long books that used to time out now open in the reader and download as markdown.

Highlight the passages you want to keep, in beta. In the reader, press and hold to select text or tap a sentence, then tap Highlight. Tap Add note to say why it matters. Every highlight is listed in the reader, where you can jump back to it, edit its note or delete it, and the article's markdown and EPUB downloads end with your highlights and notes. Read your saved articles offline. When there's no connection, Readplace opens the copy stored on your iPhone and shows your readlists as they last loaded. Download your unread articles ahead of time with the new button at the top of your readlist. Downloaded articles are marked Saved offline, and you can continue a download that was interrupted. When Readplace couldn't load an article from its site, opening it now tries to capture the page from your iPhone automatically, once per article. The app also no longer saves a site's error or CAPTCHA page in place of the article. Swipe all the way left on an article to mark it as read or unread. The reader now shows when you saved each article, and its icons and buttons have a refreshed look. Signing in now shows which account the app will connect to, and tapping Cancel on that page closes it without an error. Account settings are now grouped into sections, where you can also change your password and disconnect apps you've connected. Any article whose text has loaded in the reader, other than a private newsletter issue, has a Report this article link below it. This update also keeps you signed in if the app is interrupted while renewing your sign-in, leaves the sign-in animation muted when it replays, stops banners covering your readlist, and confirms the save when you share an article you've already read. An article that is still being prepared now shows Processing and about how many seconds are left, and updates on its own when it's ready. How long ago you saved each article stays up to date while your readlist is open. The reader shows when an article was published, and books you upload at readplace.com open with their chapters. Links to readplace.com, such as Export data in your account, open your browser already signed in. Each connected app shows when it last signed in, next to its Sign out from all devices button, and signing out of the app now signs out only this iPhone. Copying a page from your iPhone now stops showing as soon as the copy is done, wide tables stack to fit your screen, and a private newsletter issue explains why it can't be shared or downloaded.

Switch between your readlists from the new menu. Readplace remembers the last one you opened, with To Read and Read tabs for each list. Choose where shared articles go. The share sheet lets you select additional readlists on your first save, and you can change those choices from each readlist. Your choices stay in sync between the app and share sheet. Choose light, dark, or system appearance in your account settings. Next Read now asks before moving you to another article. You can also download articles as EPUB files and send them to Books or another app using the share sheet. This update improves page capture and sign-in reliability, refreshes the sign-in animation, and fixes launching Readplace interrupting audio playing in other apps.

Your reading list now has a Read tab — everything you've finished, in one place. Marking an article read moves it from To Read across to Read, and leaves you on the tab you were on. The list is redesigned to match the Readplace website: rows sit together in one bordered panel, each led by an orange dot while it's unread or a green check once it's read. Readplace's own colors throughout, most visibly in dark mode. Saving from the share sheet no longer drops the page content. The save is queued on your phone and finished the next time you open Readplace, with retries — and the card closes once the save is done instead of parking on "Saved".

Faster launch: the intro animation is gone — the app now cuts straight to your reading list.
