We've made document summary generation up to 3x faster, so you can spend less time waiting and more time reading.

This update makes reading in ReadMaxx more immersive, more insightful, and easier to organise. Reader controls now automatically disappear while you’re playing, leaving just you and the words. Tap anywhere to bring them back when you need them. ReadMaxx Unlimited subscribers can now see their reading stats (it’s fairly basic for now — but consider this the foundation for much more to come!). Your library now separates documents into New, In Progress, and Finished, too, making it much easier to navigate as your collection grows. Plus, the usual smaller improvements and stability fixes throughout the app.

ReadMaxx now has a voice — with Spoken mode, combine audio with the visual reader for an even more engaging reading experience. You'll notice we've also introduced our first widget, allowing for easier access to your library right from your home screen.

You can now scan documents with your camera and import the text directly into ReadMaxx.

We’ve made some subtle changes to Content Explorer, adding more clarity on progress and improving discoverability.

The web just got easier to read. Share any webpage to ReadMaxx to instantly get a summary and key points. If it's worth reading in full, import it straight into your library.

Summaries now have their own dedicated space. Paste text, add a web link, or import a PDF to create quick, temporary notes without adding anything to your library.

More of the web is now yours to read. We've rebuilt Web Link importing from the ground up, so you can import articles from more websites than ever before.

Once you finish a chapter, ReadMaxx now provides a brief summary and key points to help you remember the most important ideas. We’ve also improved performance for readers with large libraries.

A calmer, more organised ReadMaxx. We've made it easier to see what’s in your library by splitting your documents into new, currently reading, and finished sections. There’s also a new warm reader background; a softer colour option that’s gentler on the eyes, and especially pleasant in the evenings.

A narrower serif font option has been added for those that want a more compact experience.

This update introduces the new Content Explorer. Sometimes you don’t want to scrub word-by-word: you just want to quickly find a specific section in a long PDF, article, or book. Content Explorer gives you a traditional scrolling view of your content, allowing you to browse, skim, and find exactly what you’re looking for. Once you’ve found your spot, ReadMaxx lets you jump straight there.

ReadMaxx is now on iPad. You can now read your saved books, PDFs, articles, and pasted text on a bigger screen — with the same focused speed-reading experience you’re used to on iPhone. Whether you’re at your desk, on the sofa, or working through a long document, ReadMaxx now gives you a little more room to read.

We’ve made a few behind-the-scenes improvements so ReadMaxx can stay smooth, reliable, and ready for what’s next.

A smoother way to bring things into ReadMaxx. You can now open PDFs and EPUBs directly from your device into ReadMaxx, instead of needing to start inside the app. Links to PDFs should behave better too: when ReadMaxx spots one, it’ll try to import the actual PDF rather than giving up. And, if you start reading something as a quick “read now” item but don’t finish it, ReadMaxx will ask whether you want to save it for later, so your progress is preserved and you can pick up right where you left off when you return.

We've made it easier to explore everything ReadMaxx has to offer.

You can now import web links into ReadMaxx — from your favourite news site to your favourite blog, bringing more of the web into your reading flow. We’ve also added custom pauses at the end of sentences, so reading can feel a little more natural and less rushed. Plus, punctuation is now handled more carefully — preserving quote marks and other little details.

This update adds scrubbing gestures to the reader, so moving through a document feels quicker, smoother, and more natural. You can also customise your reader with new font options, making it easier to find a setup that feels right for you. ReadMaxx now supports iOS 18, too, allowing even more readers to enjoy the app. I’ve also added ReadMaxx Unlimited — an optional way to unlock everything and help support the app’s future.

A little more control, a little more clarity. You can now preview changes while customising your reader, making it easier to get everything looking just right. Your documents also show percentage progress now, so you can see exactly how far through a document you are. We also fixed an issue where progress saving wasn’t always consistent — your place should now stay exactly where you left it.

Fine-tune your reading experience as you go: you can now adjust your pace directly in the reader.

Smoother starts all around. Thanks for your patience while we resolved an issue that was impacting some users when launching the app.
