Yomu: Manga & Webtoon Reader4.2 - App Store

Yomu is a manga, comic, and webtoon reader for iPhone, iPad, and Mac that lets readers browse, read, and organize content from hundreds of sources in one library.

WHO IS YOMU FOR?

Yomu is built for manga readers who want one app for all their reading - whether you follow series from online sources, connect self-hosted servers like Komga or Kavita, or read your own CBZ, CBR, EPUB, and PDF files from local storage or a NAS.

HOW DOES YOMU WORK?

Add a source repository and hundreds of manga, manhwa, and manhua sources appear in the app. Browse, search, and read directly - no browser tabs, no sideloading. Yomu also connects to WebDAV, SMB, NFS, and OPDS servers, and can use an iCloud Drive folder as a library.

WHEN SHOULD I USE YOMU INSTEAD OF A BROWSER?

Yomu downloads chapters for offline reading, syncs progress across devices via iCloud, and tracks your reading on AniList, MyAnimeList, Kitsu, and MangaUpdates automatically. You keep your place across hundreds of series without managing bookmarks.

CAN YOMU TRANSLATE MANGA?

Yes. Yomu uses on-device AI to detect text in manga panels and translates to 27 languages with text wrapping that fits the original speech bubbles.

AUTO ZOOM - PANEL-BY-PANEL READING

On-device AI detects individual panels on each page and glides through them one at a time - turning dense manga pages into a cinematic, panel-by-panel reading experience that works especially well on smaller screens.

Version History • Reading a Yomu Originals series follows it: the bell on its page turns on New Chapter Notifications, and new chapters show up in Updates even outside your Library. Follow Originals I Read in Settings switches it off.
• Move many Library series from one catalog to another at once from the Library menu; Yomu matches each title and keeps your reading progress.
• Sync your whole Library's reading progress with your connected reading-list services in one go from the Library menu, never lowering it. Part of Premium.
• A search that finds little offers to go on across all your catalogs, or in Search for Yomu Originals.
• After a Yomu Originals series' last chapter, You're all caught up offers Add to Library, More Like This and Back to Originals. Popular Yomu Originals gain more chapters.
• Shorts are now called Dramas, and each reader sees them in an order of their own.
• For You, Yomu Originals, Popular and Latest on Search, and More Like This on series pages, suggest from what you read, on your device and in every language Yomu speaks. A tag on a series page opens Search.
• Home's New Chapters says which chapter is new, and See All opens Updates, also a tab in Customize Tabs. Show Yomu Originals on Home in Settings hides or restores the Yomu Originals and Dramas shelves. A new reader's Home opens with Start Reading.
• Coming Soon lists the Yomu Originals on their way; choose Remind Me to hear when one arrives.
• Cover Size for the Library and every cover grid: Large, Medium or Small, with a preview. Choose Grid or List from the Library menu or in Settings. Option menus show what's chosen: Sort, View As and more.
• A download button on a series page opens Download Unread and Download All.
• A Reading Direction button on the reader's top bar shows your reading mode's new icon, and Page Transition gains Off. Customize Toolbar adds a Chapters button and reorders or hides the rest.
• Horizontal Scroll no longer jumps and turns pages by your Tap Zones. Two-page spreads fit each page, with Spine Gap in Page Layout. Page Curl no longer flickers when the chapter changes. Paged readers on iPad in landscape go on to the next chapter.
• A chapter you read to the end opens on its first page, and files that repeat chapter numbers, like main episodes and side stories, are read in file-list order.
• Open MOBI, AZW and AZW3 comics like any other comic file. Local Files can Select several series and delete them together, and network folders open much faster.
• Read Aloud picks up voices as you install them, lists Personal Voice first in its menu and no longer hangs on a translated page.
• Novels: controls hide and show properly in Scroll mode, and late pictures no longer close the reader.
• Translate To follows the app's language, and the Translation Language sheet opens large.
• Larger text sizes keep their layout, controls are bigger and easier to hit, and Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency are respected.

• Novels: read Yomu Originals novels and your own EPUB and TXT books in a new reader. Choose the font, spacing and theme, turn pages or scroll, search, and highlight.
• Downloads are faster, fetching several pages at once, and more chapters open offline. Stop one from its progress ring; a chapter started twice by mistake downloads once.
• Search leaves the tab bar for Home's own search button; History still opens from Library's toolbar, and with iOS 26 an iPhone's tab bar shrinks as you scroll — the Shorts feed too.
• Tap Zones: choose Left / Right, L-Shaped, Edge, Kindle-style or your own, give Webtoon its own layout, and see the zones as you start reading.
• Page Fit for each series (Fit Screen, Fit Width, Fit Height or Fill Screen), and Keep Zoom Between Pages.
• New page looks: Invert Colors, Grayscale, a background for each series, Split Wide Images and Adjust Margins.
• In the reader: a Status Line, Orientation for each series on iPhone, Keep Screen On, notes on bookmarks and a way back after a jump; Auto-Scroll has its own button, and bookmarks are under the menu's Bookmarks.
• Turn pages from a keyboard or a page turner, and switch on Swap Volume Buttons or Left Edge Adjusts Brightness.
• Reading Presets: save a book's reading mode and give it to other books, now with Manhua and Comics presets.
• Read Aloud reads speech balloons in reading order and can turn the pages; on Chinese pages it reads every balloon in one Chinese voice.

• Downloads open offline again after an update, the reader says why a chapter can't, and Remove Download clears one from its series page.
• First Page Alone, for each series, pairs spreads like a printed book; Page Curl starts where you turn the page and turns spreads over the spine in either direction.
• When a page can't be translated, the reader says so and offers Try Again or Turn Off Translation; sound effects over the art translate without blurring it.
• AI Colorize keeps pages sharp, colors long strips evenly and leaves color pages as they are.
• A new app icon, in every theme color.
• Yomu is a much smaller download: what only some readers use comes down when first needed.
• Next Chapter goes to the next number, not another copy of the same one, long chapter lists scroll smoothly, and search shows results as they arrive and no longer gets stuck. 4.0.1 Oct 5 • Yomu Originals: a new tab of comics made by the Yomu team, in manga, manhwa, manhua, comic and novel styles, in your language.

• Yomu is a much smaller download: what only some readers use comes down when first needed.
• Next Chapter goes to the next number, not another copy of the same one, long chapter lists scroll smoothly, and search shows results as they arrive and no longer gets stuck. 4.0 Oct 4 • In the Library, Select counts the series you pick, marks each cover with a clear check, and Done finishes. You can also rename your own categories right from the category bar.
• The Library remembers the sort order you pick; it used to go back to A–Z each time Yomu opened.
• Sync your reading progress with Bangumi.
• Translation now reads each page in the language it was written in. In the Translation Language sheet, Translate This Chapter or Translate This Manga starts it, and Stop Translating ends it.
• App Lock now covers Yomu the moment you switch to another app, not only once it's in the background.
• Webtoons no longer show gaps between pages when Crop Borders is on.
• Confirmations now appear next to the button that asked for them. 3.24 Sep 29 • In the Library, Customize Categories arranges the category bar: put the filters in your order, hide the ones you don't use, rename or delete your own categories, or choose Show Only My Categories.
• A cover opens its own series. With wide cover images, the series next to it could open instead. 3.23 Sep 28 • Translated pages look like comics now: each balloon is translated as a whole and lettered back in comic type with an outline. Vertical Japanese text is read too.
• Translate This Manga keeps a whole series translated as you read on. A pill by the page slider shows the progress of the page on screen, and in webtoons a balloon split across two images is translated too.
• Translation no longer stops with an alert on a page already in your language or a thin strip between webtoon images; other errors show once per chapter, not on every page.
• Report a Problem, in the reader's menu or beside Retry, tells us when pages don't load, are missing or out of order, or are badly translated.
• Long-press a page for Share Page or Save to Photos, translation included. Share Page is in the reader's menu too.
• App Lock can use a 4-digit PIN of its own, so unlocking your device isn't enough to open Yomu, and it now covers an open chapter too.
• Sharing your library, as a file or over Wi-Fi, now sends only series and their chapter lists, never sign-ins, settings or reading history, and a shared library you open is added to yours instead of replacing it.
• Settings fits on one short page; its long groups open on pages of their own.
• Yomu speaks your language throughout: Help, reading directions, chapter titles and many messages are translated and follow the language picked in Settings, and it's 1 chapter, not 1 chapters.
• Search opens on trending and top-rated lists, and a series page ends with More Like This. Both come from AniList and can be turned off in Settings › Privacy.
• The reader's menu is grouped and gains Image Adjustments (brightness, warmth, contrast and more) and Flag.
• Lock Zoom keeps a stray pinch from zooming the page, and double-tapping the chapter title or the page slider jumps to the first or last page.
• Mark Previous as Read catches a series up in one go; long series list every chapter instead of stopping at 300; and the For You shelf can be hidden.
• Fixes: closing the reader keeps your page while Yomu checks for new chapters; a failed page shows up in place after Retry; one stalled chapter no longer leaves the rest loading forever; stopping a flicked strip no longer brings the controls back; and Yomu no longer asks you to update when you're up to date. 3.22 Sep 25 • Read a series from more than one source. Add a second source and the two chapter lists become one, each filling the other's gaps; long-press a chapter to open another source's copy of it.
• Filter your Library by where a series came from — a chip for each source, beside your own categories.
• Share your sources, one category, or your whole Library as a code or a link, and scan one to add what someone sends you.
• Send your Library to another device over Wi-Fi. Nothing of yours is replaced: only what is missing is added.
• Before you uninstall a source, Yomu says how much of your Library reads from it.
• Covers no longer come back blank while a page of results is still loading.
• Search a source from a button — a magnifier in the corner, instead of a field you had to scroll back to the top to find.
• Covers load, and keep loading. Covers whose addresses contained spaces never appeared at all, and a long chapter now fetches pages ahead of you instead of one at a time as you scroll.
• When something goes wrong, it says what to do. A site turning Yomu away now tells you to open it and finish its check — in your own language, as does the rest of the app, which had been answering in English in places.
• A new app icon, and the reader's bars turn solid when you ask the system for less transparency. 3.21 Sep 23 • Source settings open again — on some community extension sources the settings screen failed to load in 3.17. This build carries the fix in the app itself, so it works from first launch.
• The chapter a notification told you about is now marked NEW in the chapter list, and stays marked until you open it.
• A chapter shows a date only when its source actually gives one. Chapters without a date used to show today's, which read as a release date and changed every time the list refreshed.
• Sort a series' chapters by title, A–Z or Z–A — useful when a series carries several versions of the same chapter.
• When a series has chapters in more than one language, each chapter is tagged with its language.
• Settings reports the right App Store version again instead of an older one.
• Move a series to another source without losing it — the new Change Source in a series' menu searches the sources you have installed, and carries read chapters, history, bookmarks, categories and tracking across.
• “Newest First” really is newest first. Where two editions of one chapter share a number, they now follow the date each was published.
• A site that asks you to confirm you are human now shows that check wherever it comes up, instead of leaving a list empty with no explanation. 3.18 Sep 18 • Sign in to a source that needs an account and stay signed in, including sources that ask you to sign in on their own page.
• Change a series cover to one of the alternatives its source offers, alongside your own photos and files.
• Open a series in Yomu straight from a source's own website while you are browsing it.
• When a source changes the way it identifies series, your library, history and bookmarks move across with it — and a backup is written first.
• A source that moves to a new address is followed automatically, and notes it leaves on a page now show in the reader.
• A cover you change appears everywhere in the app right away instead of after the next launch. 3.17 Sep 16 • Smoother reading: turning or scrolling a page no longer causes a brief stutter.
• Webtoons: the page you land on after a fast scroll stays put, pages sit flush with no hairline between them, strips delivered as small tiles open in webtoon mode, and the newest chapter ends on a "You're all caught up" card.
• Chapters run in the right order: Next Chapter always goes forward, and the last chapter's end card no longer offers an older one.
• Translate: the prompt to download a language pack now appears on iPhone, and raws with a scanlator watermark are recognized as Korean.
• Browsing: covers load right after launch, series open in the browser from their page, and bookmarks open on their page and stay there.
• Reading Stats no longer freezes on the Mac. 3.15 Sep 14 • Fixed: Premium subscribers could still get ads for a moment after opening the app — sometimes audible with nothing on screen. Yomu now remembers your subscription between launches and never starts the ad system before it knows you are a subscriber. 3.14 Sep 9 • The Mac app now follows the iPhone and iPad design throughout — large titles, sidebar, lists, menus and sheets all redrawn.
• Delete a single downloaded chapter: right-click on Mac, swipe or long-press on iPhone and iPad.
• On-device translation is more reliable on tall pages and on Chinese, Japanese and Korean pages that used to come back empty.
• Settings rows respond anywhere on the row, not just on the switch.
• New Chapter Notifications now tell you when permission is off, and can open Settings for you.
• Fixed adding iCloud Drive as a source on Mac. 3.13 Sep 9 • Fixed reader buttons not responding on iOS 26 — Liquid Glass containers no longer block taps on close, bookmark, chapter, and page controls.
• Reading stats now track every chapter — previously, only the last chapter counted when reading multiple in a row. Each chapter switch now records its own session with accurate duration.
• Improved cover preview on Mac — larger sheet with Command+drag zoom support.
• Browse tab rows are now fully clickable on Mac.
• Larger sort and filter icons on iPhone.
• Source uninstall support — long-press any source to remove it. 3.12 Sep 6 • Liquid Glass reader bars on iOS 26 and later — the controls now float in translucent glass pills over the page.
• The bars stay put while you swipe and hide only when you tap the page. Prefer the old behavior? Turn on Hide Bars on Swipe in Settings → Reader Behavior.
• Time & battery at the top of the reader controls (the status bar stays hidden while reading). Turn off in Settings → Reader → Show Time & Battery. 3.11 Sep 2 • Fixed tab hiding: hidden tabs now stay hidden instead of reappearing
• Bug fixes and performance improvements 3.10 Aug 26 • Tap the cover art to view a full-screen preview
• Reader bars now use frosted glass blur instead of dark gradients
• Updated Discord invite link
• Bug fixes and performance improvements 3.9 Aug 25 • New Horizontal Scroll reading mode — continuous side-scrolling, left-to-right or right-to-left
• Webtoon mode: pinch to zoom (up to 3×), double-tap to zoom, drag to pan
• You can now remove iCloud Drive and local-folder libraries you've added
• Translation: better language detection, plus a manual source-language picker; optional higher-quality AI translation
• Fully localized interface in 35 languages
• Supports the new Mihon extension-repository format (index.pb)
• Many source fixes and reliability improvements — source settings now save reliably 3.7 Aug 20 • Fixed a crash when installing some extensions that use a custom image
loader — those sources install and read again.
• Better manga translation: whole-page text recognition and correct
handling of Japanese, Chinese and Korean.
• Delete individual reading-history entries (swipe), not just clear all.
• A clear close button on the reader's page thumbnail strip.
• Opening a series starts at the first chapter, not the newest one. 3.4 Aug 18 • Restore from Backup works again — the button opened nothing before. Sorry.
• Extension repositories load again after the Keiyoushi index changed format.
• Translation detects the page's language instead of assuming Japanese, so Chinese
and Korean pages translate properly.
• Source settings: sign in to sources and choose mirrors or image quality.
• AI Colorize, full iCloud Drive support, WebDAV, and more. 3.3 Aug 12 • Fixed iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac — your library, reading progress and settings stay in step.
• Mac now matches iPhone and iPad, feature for feature.
• Smoother source browsing, plus fixes throughout. 3.1 Aug 5 • Community extension sources — add external source extensions and browse many more catalogs. Installs are instant and work offline.
• Per-source filters — sort, genres, status and tags, tailored to each source.
• NAS libraries — pin a folder on an SMB or NFS share, or any folder you have added, and scan it into a browsable library with covers, series grouping and read tracking. No server needed.
• Quick-jump bookmarks — pin a folder with nothing to scan and it becomes a shortcut straight back to it.
• Test Connection when adding an SMB server, so a wrong address or password tells you right away.
• Chapters in network and local folders now take their real chapter number from the filename, so a missing chapter no longer renumbers the whole series.
• Sort and Mark All Read on network series folders.
• Retired the legacy .yomu and .yomupack formats. 3.0 Jul 22 • NFS support — connect to NFS network shares and read your manga library directly.
• Serverless SMB library — pin a folder and Yomu scans it into a browseable library with series grouping and read tracking, no server needed.
• AI upscaling (2×) — enhance low-resolution pages with on-device neural network upscaling.
• Image folders — folders of loose images (WebP, JPG, PNG) are now readable as chapters on SMB, NFS, and local folders. 2.7 Jul 15 Your NAS is now a manga server.

• NEW: SMB/NAS source — connect any network share and read your collection straight off it. No Komga, no Kavita, no setup: Yomu discovers nearby servers automatically.
• Serverless metadata: covers, authors, genres and summaries load from series.json or ComicInfo.xml — and one tap exports them from any Komga/Kavita series.
• EPUB & PDF engine rebuilt: a fraction of the memory, sharper pages, and finished books clean up after themselves.
• Swipe between chapters in every reading mode, plus reader fixes across the board.

Enjoying Yomu? A quick rating means a lot. Happy reading! 2.6 Jul 11 Your server library, at a glance.
