Using LNReader Sources (Recommended)

1. Add LNReader Repository

   • Go to Settings → Repository
   • Tap the Add icon (+)
   • Select Quick Add Popular Repo
   • Choose LNReader
   • Save and refresh remote sources in the Source screen

2. Storage Permissions (Optional)

   • By default, LNReader sources are saved to app cache (no permissions needed)
   • To save sources to external storage for easier access, disable "Saved Sources to Cache" in Settings → General
   • If using external storage, grant storage permissions when prompted

3. Start Reading

   • Browse sources to find novels
   • Add books to your library

Note: IReader no longer supports the in-app default repository. You must add repositories manually in Settings.

IReader supports importing book sources from Legado/阅读, a popular Chinese novel reader:

1. Go to More → Community → Legado Sources
2. Enter a Legado source URL or paste JSON directly
3. Select sources to import and tap Import

Imported sources appear immediately in your sources list.

🍎 iOS Developer Needed

We're looking for a developer to help wire the iOS module to the main app. All the groundwork is done — the iOS module exists and the core components are ready — but the final integration work remains. @kazemcodes is unable to continue this work due to not having access to a Mac.

The app can also leverage IReader's existing sources since they are compiled to Native/JS, making the integration straightforward.

If you have iOS/macOS development experience and want to help bring IReader to iOS, please reach out!
