LightReadr turns your ebooks into audiobooks; with narration you actually want to listen to. Drift off with your next chapter. - New sleep timer: choose a preset, set a custom duration, or stop at the end of a chapter. - Narration gently fades out over the final 30 seconds. - See your countdown in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen. Tap it to add time or turn the timer off. - Set custom timers with easy hour and minute wheels. - Improved narration responsiveness, smoother audio shutdown, and a smaller app package.

2x Reading Speed: Capped maximum playback speed at 2x to maintain audio clarity and prevent UI glitches. Note: this feature requires an iPhone 15 or above to sound good. You can use the feature on a iPhone 14 and below, but audio quality may suffer. Duration-Pacing Fix: Fixed duration-pacing calculations so estimated reading times and progress tracking remain accurate across all speeds.

This update improves the safety and reliability of EPUB imports, including better handling of damaged or interrupted files. It also adds an optional Product Insights setting, off by default, that helps guide improvements without sending your books, text, audio, or saved reading position. You can review or change it at any time in About.
