Sagas. Novellas and prequels get their number, 1.5 or 0.5, like on Goodreads. Edit the numbers of any saga with − and +, and restore the official order whenever you want. Audiobooks. Set your exact speed for each book and each session. Your position moves at that speed and the book page tells you how much is left. Format. Say how you have each book: its binding if it is print, or where you read or listen to it, from Kindle to Audible. Stats. A daily view with its own card to share, a bigger calendar, and the longest and shortest book of the month. Your profile. Five new modules: genres and tropes, best and worst, reading time, streak and set aside. They all start hidden. Widget. The widget's bookcase shows your decorations and the new themes. Also: tap anywhere on a saga to open it, create one from the + at the top, and a deleted book no longer closes the app.

Genres and tropes. Up to three genres per book and as many tropes as you want, from a list or in your own words. Filter your books by either, and see your top genres in Stats. Formats. Mark a book as print, ebook or audiobook. Audiobooks track hours and minutes, with their own timer and progress. Themes. Eleven looks for the whole app, from Midnight to Rose Court. Your bookcases keep their own colours. Profile, Theme. Backdrops. Ten new shelf backdrops, from a dragon's roost to a masquerade. Decorations. Pick one from a tray with the shelf in full view, and move it where it stands. Community. The genres and tropes other readers give each book, and who else has it before anyone has rated it. Paused. Set a book aside without losing your page. Start a session and it is back to reading. Stats. Reading time, days read, streak, highlights and ratings, by week, month and year. Share your month. Your month as a story or a square: books, pages, your shelf and your covers. Stats, Share. Photos. Crop spine and edge photos from your library, and scan a cover with the camera. Also: widgets that refresh after a sync, the profile photo that stays put, and covers found through ISBNdb and Open Library.

Community. Every book shows how other readers rate it, their reviews and who is reading it. Your ratings count, anonymously; turn it off in Settings. Reviews. Write your review on its own screen. Mark spoilers, keep it private or publish it, and like and comment on other readers' reviews. Your library in your account. Sign in on another iPhone and your books, shelves and photos are there. Each device sends only what it changed, so one phone never overwrites the other's work. Settings, Backup. Sagas. Say how many books a series has, number each volume, and fill a gap from your own library instead of searching online. Your session on the Lock Screen. A reading session shows its clock on the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island. Pause and resume from there. Widgets. Streak, current book and yearly challenge on the lock screen. Bookcase, To Be Read and this year's covers on the home screen. Rate by genre. Each book asks the scales that fit it: spice, tears, worldbuilding. Add your own, and keep characters, places and quotes in its notebook. App icon. Eighteen icons to choose from, in the app's palettes and in BookTok looks. Settings, Preferences, App icon. Import from The StoryGraph. Books, +, Import your books. Also: a new opening animation, swipe from the left edge to go back, press and hold a book for quick actions, set the finish date when you add a book as read, fixes and a faster app.

Your shelf, out in the world. Your public profile is here: a page with your shelf, what you're reading and your reading calendar, at slowreadapp.com/@you. Share the link, follow other readers, and see who's reading what. A flame for your streak. Your streak now burns in the corner of Home, with a small celebration every day it grows. Tap it for your streak journal: your best run, this month, and the days you read. Stories to share. Four templates - what you're reading, your favourites, your stats, your profile - ready for Instagram and TikTok in a tap, from Share profile. A new Home, and more. A new header, a This week card with the cover of each day you read, and feature requests one tap away next to your streak. Readings added to a past day can now be edited or removed from that day in Stats. Plus fixes across the app. Did Not Finish. A fourth status for the books you set aside - it never counts as read. Pick the colour of any drawn spine, reorder your libraries, see "In your library" on search results and in the scanner, discard a session you didn't read, and edit any reading. And a faster, lighter app: photos no longer freeze the screen, the scanner rests while you look at a book, and Home no longer recalculates on every visit. Almost everything here comes straight from your feedback - thank you for reading with us.

Your sagas, together. The feature you asked for most: series come together on the Books tab with their reading order and the volumes you're still missing one tap away — and you choose which sagas show, and which cover fronts them. Read without a clock. Start an open-ended session with the new infinity chip — and the timer remembers your last choice, so starting to read is one tap, not a question. Now in four more languages. SlowRead speaks German, Italian, French and Portuguese — the whole app, from onboarding to the last shelf. Fixes and polish. The whole app gained depth — spines, outlines and paper on every card and button —, importing from Goodreads now lives in the + menu on Books, and Settings gained a Language row. Almost everything here came straight from your feedback — thank you for reading with us.

minor bug fixes

Share your shelf. Turn any library into a picture — a story, a square post or your own wallpaper — with your covers, your theme and your decorations exactly as you arranged them. Your shelf, exactly as you want it. Own a sprayed-edge edition? Stand it on the shelf twice — edge out and spine out. And turn or mirror any book so its spine sits the right way up, standing or lying flat. Your library, your details. Fix a wrong title, or an author written two different ways, from any book's menu. And your collections can finally be renamed, restyled or deleted. Fixes and polish. Book art with a transparent background keeps its shape instead of turning into a white block, a full shelf makes room instead of turning a book away, and dozens of smaller things across the app are steadier. Almost everything here came straight from your feedback — thank you for reading with us.

Every reading, not just the first. Read twice in a day? Log them both. Tapping "I read today" now opens everything you've read that day — timer sessions included — each with its own time, pages and note. Forgot to log a day? Add it whenever you remember. Tap any past day — in your streak calendar or in Stats — and write down the reading you did. Your streak closes the gap on its own. Adding a book, in one tap. Choose a shelf and you're done, the sheet closes itself. And while you're deciding, the story is right there, next to the year, the page count and the genre. Fixes and polish. Covers no longer flicker back to their drawn stand-ins, today is easy to spot in your streak calendar, and dozens of small things across the app are steadier. Almost everything here came straight from your feedback — thank you for reading with us.

Your book's three faces. Add a spine and a sprayed edge to any book, right from its page — and turn a book around on the shelf to show it off. The cover was never the whole story. A whole new Library. We rebuilt your shelves from scratch: tap the wand and everything lives in one place — hold a book to lift and move it, arrange a shelf by colour, height or author in one tap, and place decorations wherever you like. Three new shelf themes. Dress a library in Night Court, War College or Fae Dungeon — starlit arches, a storm-lashed fortress, or glowing amethyst in the dark. Four new decorations too. Much, much faster. A deep performance pass across the whole app: scrolling your shelves, moving books and decorations, opening books and switching tabs are now buttery smooth. Back up your library. New in Settings: create snapshots of your entire library — books, photos, shelves and reading history — and restore any of them whenever you want. This update also fixes a lot more, including buttons that were hard to tap. Many of these changes came straight from your feedback — thank you for reading with us.

Your shelf now lives on your home screen — add the SlowRead widget, pick any library, and give it its own background (wall, shelf or theme). Better book search: the right edition and its real cover show up faster and more often. A smoother Goodreads import, with covers and details filled in for you. Plus polish throughout. Thank you for your feedback — we're just getting started.
