What's New in the Latest Version 1.5

Last updated on Apr 27, 2026

Old Versions

A LIBRARY WORTH OPENING
Your home screen just grew up. Every document now shows its cover, source (PDF · EPUB · WEB · MD), reading time, and progress at a glance. The book you were last listening to gets a hero spot at the top — one tap and you're back where you stopped.

PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
Set it and we'll send a gentle nudge to come back to your reading. Tap the notification and you're playing in seconds.

POCKET TTS, POLISHED
Word-by-word highlighting now stays glued to the voice — no more drift on long, multi-clause sentences. Switching voices mid-listen works exactly as you'd expect: instantly, no restart.

Read on.
