Read-aloud built to save battery
Each chapter becomes plain text and is spoken one sentence at a time. The highlight moves by sentence, not by word. Listening keeps going with the screen locked. Pause or resume from the Lock Screen and Control Center. To listen only, lock the screen. A pure black theme suits OLED screens.
Voices
Uses the voices built into iOS. Filter by quality and language, preview each voice, or download more natural Enhanced and Premium voices. Adjust the speed and set a sleep timer. Select text and choose Read from Here to start at any sentence. With a Chinese voice, words with more than one reading are pronounced using a built-in dictionary of about 47,000 words.
Opens the formats you have
EPUB, MOBI and AZW3 without DRM, FB2, TXT, and single HTML or Markdown files. TXT encoding is detected automatically (UTF-8, UTF-16, GBK/GB18030, Big5), and chapters are split at headings like Chapter 1. Import from the Files app, or share a book to Still Reading from another app. Books with DRM cannot be opened.
Comfortable reading
Books open full screen. Tap the middle of the page for controls. Choose the font, size and theme. On wide screens, narrow the margins. Fits iPad and iPhone Duo. Your place stays on screen when you rotate, fold or resize. Touch and hold the Home Screen icon and choose Continue Reading, or start reading with Siri, Shortcuts or the Action button.
Sync and privacy
Reading progress syncs through your iCloud. Book files are not uploaded. Import the same file on another device to pick up where you left off. No account, ads or analytics. The developer receives no app usage data. Apart from Apple’s iCloud, in-app purchase and system voice or font downloads, Still Reading does not connect to the internet. Books are opened and read on your device.
Free, with optional sponsorship
Still Reading is free, with every feature included. If you enjoy it, tap the heart on the shelf to sponsor the developer. Sponsorship is an in-app purchase and unlocks nothing.
