Made for iPhone Duo. Folded, WordBook is the app you know on the outer screen. Open it and the book opens too: the passage you are putting back on the right-hand page, the prose leading up to it on the left, and nothing you need to touch ever on the crease. Stood half-open on a table, the board takes the top half and the book the bottom. The daily challenge can now come from any of the ten classics on the shelf. One passage a day, the same for every reader. Long titles on the shelf no longer break in the middle of a word.

Choose the voice that reads to you. Read aloud now speaks in a natural neural voice fetched over the network — hundreds of them, across more than a hundred languages — and falls back to the voice already on your device when there is no network. Pick your own under Settings > Reading voice: one voice per language, kept for every book in it. A book that deserves an exception gets its own voice, on its own page. Every voice in the list reads a line the moment you touch it, so the choice is made by ear rather than by name.

Read it aloud. The page that opens on the passage you have just restored can now read it to you in the device voice — tap Read it aloud, or turn on automatic reading in Settings and every page starts by itself. WordBook picks the best voice installed for the language of the book. A steadier library. The online library now has a second source behind it, so browsing and downloading keep working when one of them is down. Settings lets you pick which one to use.

Now on iPad. The reading column is laid out as a page on a desk rather than stretched across the screen, and the app supports every orientation, Split View and Slide Over. Game Center. Your achievements and three running totals — passages restored, longest daily streak, longest run of correct answers — are now kept under your Apple account as well. Entirely optional; turn it off in Settings and nothing is posted.
