About this app

Flash Reader is back, and better than ever. Press play and the words come to you, one at a time, while your eyes stay put. That article you saved three weeks ago? About four minutes. Flash Reader has worked this way since 2010, years before it was a trend. Version 4 is rebuilt from scratch, and everything happens on your device. ANYTHING WITH WORDS ON IT Paste it, share it from any app, open a PDF, EPUB or Word file, or point the camera at a page, and you're reading. • A link brings the article and leaves the clutter behind. • A photo or a screenshot of a page reads too. • Whatever you just copied is one tap away, in the app or in Control Center. THREE WAYS TO READ • Flash: one word, one spot, and the pages fly. One letter in red holds your eye. • Chunk: a few words at a time, for when you would rather stroll. • Reader: the whole text, for a look back. Tap to pause. Play picks the sentence back up, so you never lose the thread. SPEED, WITH RECEIPTS Understanding holds to about 350 words a minute, then it slips. So Flash Reader starts you at 250 and tells you where you stand: Comfort, Stretch or Sprint. Go as fast as you like. Your real speed counts the pauses at commas and full stops, so it is a number you can believe. Stats keep it next to your streak and today's words. HOLD THAT THOUGHT Stop anywhere. Every document remembers where you were and how fast you were going. Bookmark the sentences worth keeping. Jump by chapter. One tap on a widget or in Control Center and you're reading again, or ask Siri to "Resume reading in Flash Reader". ROOM TO READ iPhone for the stolen minutes. iPad for the long sit, with your library beside the page and a keyboard that drives both. Designed for iPhone Duo: open it and the page unfolds beside the words. Paper, Ink, Sepia or High Contrast, in your font at your size. The whole app speaks 50 languages. FREE AND PRO Free to start. Text you paste, copy or share reads free, forever, at full quality: every mode, every speed, every theme, links, TXT and Markdown files, and three documents in your library at a time. Pro opens PDF, EPUB, Word, RTF and HTML files, scans and photos, and keeps as many as you like. One purchase covers iPhone and iPad, and your library and your place travel between them through your own iCloud. Choose Pro by the year with a 14-day free trial, by the month, or pay once and keep it. Annual and monthly Pro renew automatically until cancelled in your Apple Account settings, at least 24 hours before the period ends. No account. No ads. No analytics and no tracking. COMING BACK? Your books, your speed and your place come along from the old version. If you bought Pro inside Flash Reader before, it is still yours: Restore purchases in Settings brings it back on any device. If you bought the separate Flash Reader Pro app, write to us and we will sort it out. More formats and modes are coming as free updates. Flash Reader 4 needs iOS 26 or later. On an older iPhone or iPad, the App Store keeps offering the last version that runs there.

What's new

Version 4.0.3 · Nov 13, 2026

"It was the best of…" is a great first line and a poor name for a bookmark. Hold a bookmarked sentence and you can rename it, or remove the bookmark. On iPhone Duo, Reader is now a two-page spread. If the page next to the word distracts you while the words play, a new switch in Reading Comfort hides it until you pause.
