Questions, answered
Is this a real app from the App Store?
It's a Progressive Web App — the modern way to install a website. There's no App Store download; you add it from Safari and it behaves like a native app, full-screen and on your home screen.
Will it work offline on the subway or a flight?
Yes. Once installed, the reader is cached, so a book you've opened keeps reading with no signal.
Do I stay signed in after I install it?
You do. If you signed in before adding goread to your home screen, the installed app keeps you signed in — your library, bookmarks and place are right there.
