Reading that earns the screen

Full-screen, app-like

From the home-screen icon, goread fills the iPad with no Safari bars — just the book.

A comfortable measure

Big, adjustable type and a sensible line length, so the wide screen reads like a page, not a billboard.

Five reading themes

Daylight, paper, sepia, midnight and e-ink — set the page to the room you're in.

Offline-ready

Install once and an opened book keeps reading with no Wi-Fi — perfect for travel.

Open one on your iPad

Tap a cover to start — install from Safari whenever you like.

Questions, answered

Is there an iPad app to download?

No download needed. goread installs straight from Safari as a Progressive Web App, so it lives on your home screen and runs full-screen without the App Store.

Does the big screen actually help?

A lot. goread sets a comfortable reading measure and large, adjustable type, so the iPad's screen gives you a calm, book-like page rather than a stretched phone layout.

Can I read offline?

Yes — once installed, an opened book keeps reading without a connection, so the iPad is ready for a flight or a weekend off-grid.
