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.

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.

First impressions count - this update brings a brand new onboarding flow to help you get up to speed.

This update gives you more control over your reading experience. You can now adjust reader text size, hide the guide when you want a cleaner view, and enjoy a simplified settings screen that’s easier to navigate.

ReadMaxx is now more immersive, with the reader opening in full screen. We’ve also improved pace selection, making it easier than ever to fine-tune your reading speed.

We've tweaked a few things to ensure your reading experience is smoother than ever.

We've implemented some changes to make the documents screen more intuitive.

We're excited about this one: EPUB support has landed! You can now import and read EPUB books directly in ReadMaxx, alongside PDFs and pasted text.  Got a book sitting on your device? Bring it in and start reading right away. As usual, we’ve also made a few small improvements behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. Happy reading.
