Support

Lumbre is a reader for the EPUB and PDF books you already own, for iPhone and iPad, that can also read them aloud with the voices on your device. It is made by one person at Lone Astronaut Studios.

Common questions

How do I get a book in?

Share an EPUB or PDF to Lumbre from Files, from AirDrop, or from any app that can share a file. It appears in your library and in the Lumbre folder in iCloud Drive.

Where are my books stored?

In the Lumbre folder of your own iCloud Drive, and on your device. They never pass through a server of ours. You can see, copy and delete them in the Files app at any time.

The voices sound robotic.

Lumbre uses the voices installed on your device. Better ones can be downloaded in iOS Settings › Accessibility › Read & Speak › Voices. Personal Voice, if you have set one up, appears in the list too.

Refunds and subscriptions

Purchases are handled by the App Store. Manage or cancel a subscription in Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com; we cannot issue refunds ourselves.

Deleting my data

Delete the app, then delete the Lumbre folder from iCloud Drive in the Files app and Lumbre under Settings › your name › iCloud › Manage Storage. That removes everything; see the privacy policy for what a crash report keeps.
