WHY READERS LOVE ARCREADER
A reader designed for long sessions
Choose between four themes (Light, Dark, Sepia, Black AMOLED). Adjust font size, line spacing, font family, and margins to find your perfect setup. Switch between paginated mode with page-turn animation, or smooth continuous scroll.
Listen with on-device narration
Built-in neural text-to-speech turns any novel into an audiobook — runs entirely on your device. No internet required, no data costs, no monthly fees for the core feature. Adjustable speed from 0.75x to 2x, lock-screen controls, sleep timer, and auto-advance between chapters.
Offline-first reading
Downloaded content stays on your device in a local library — not a temporary cache. Read on flights, on the Tube, or anywhere connectivity is unreliable.
Import your own EPUB files
Already have books saved as EPUB? Import them straight into your library and read them with the same themes, fonts, and narration as everything else.
Look up words and build vocabulary
Tap any word for an instant dictionary definition, then save it as a flashcard. Review your flashcards later to lock in new vocabulary as you read.
Highlights and notes
Long-press to highlight passages in four colours with optional notes. Review all your highlights for any title in one place.
Reading position sync
Auto-saves your position every few seconds. Open a book on another device and continue exactly where you left off, after signing in.
No sign-up wall
Open the app and start reading. Account creation is optional — only needed if you want to sync between devices.
