ReadEra – book reader pdf epubv1.2.3

Released June 7, 2026Major

iOS

The recent major update for iOS delivered a tentative rating decline of 0.57 stars, dropping the average from 3.82 to 3.25 stars. While the new document collections tool successfully resolved long-standing library organization complaints, early momentum is offset by a critical regression that resets reading progress. The net impact remains neutral but highly unstable due to an extremely small post-release sample size of four ratings.
