We renamed the app to Magicorium

All books are now free to read. You can open and read every book in the app without a subscription. Premium is only for extra features like chatting with characters and asking questions about the story — not for unlocking books. What else is better: Easier discovery — Browse by age, genre, and language with simple filters. See your progress and how many questions you’ve asked per book right on the cards. Book detail screen — Tap any book to see its cover, description, age range, genres, and language before you start. “Similar books” suggestions help you find your next read. One tap to continue where you left off or start reading. My Library — Your books in one place: in progress, finished, or not started. Switch between grid and list view, see last read time, and reset a book when you want to start over. Chat in the app — Chat with characters and ask questions about the story from inside the reader. Get notified when there’s a new message. Your drafts are saved so you can come back later. Smoother experience — Clearer navigation with tabs for Discovery, My Library, and Settings. Updated look and consistent layout across the app. Welcome screens that explain the app without layout glitches.
