iPhone and iPad app

The eReader Relay app for iPhone and iPad sends one public web page at a time to your default destination: an eReader, which receives an EPUB by email, or a reading list, which collects articles for its next edition. It uses your eReader Relay account; you manage sources, devices, reading lists, and your plan on ereaderrelay.com.

Install

The app is coming to the App Store. Until it is published, it is available to invited testers only. It needs iOS 16.4 or later and an internet connection.

Sign in

1. Open the app and tap Sign in.
2. Sign in to eReader Relay in the browser sheet that opens. Your password stays with the website; the app never sees it.
3. Tap Allow app to approve mobile app access.

The app returns to the Send tab, signed in. If you do not have an account yet, create one on the website first.

Choose where links go

Open the Destinations tab and pick one destination. Everything you send, from the app or the share sheet, goes there until you change it.

• eReaders receive each link as its own EPUB by email. On the Free plan you can pick one eReader at a time; paid plans can send to several at once.
• Reading lists collect links for the list's next edition. Only active reading lists appear; resume a paused list on the website to see it here.

Pull down on the tab to reload your eReaders and reading lists after changing them on the website. To add an eReader, use Add an eReader, which opens Devices on the website. Kindle users must first approve the Relay sender.

Send a link from the app

1. On the Send tab, paste or type a link.
2. Check Sending to shows the destination you want.
3. Tap Send it.

A card confirms the send, and it appears under Recently sent. If the page has no title of its own in the link, Relay uses the article's title once it has read the page.

Share from Safari and other apps

1. In Safari or any app with a Share button, open the page and tap Share.
2. Choose eReader Relay in the row of apps, or Send to eReader Relay in the list of actions below it. If neither appears, scroll to the end of the row and tap More, or tap Edit Actions…, and turn eReader Relay on.
3. The sheet confirms where the link went. Tap Done, or let it close.

The share sheet sends to your default destination without opening the app. It works only while the app is signed in and a destination is chosen. Sends from the share sheet appear in the app's Recently sent list the next time you open it.

Follow what you sent

Recently sent keeps the last five links sent from this phone, with where each one went and how it is getting on. While the app is open, it checks each queued EPUB for up to an hour.

"Delivered" means the email service accepted the EPUB. If it never arrives on a Kindle, check the approved sender, then see Delivery troubleshooting.

Settings

The Settings tab shows your account and plan, your default destination, and the appearance: follow your phone (System), or always Light or Dark. Help links to these guides, email support, and Privacy and your data.

Plans and billing are managed on the website; the iOS app does not sell or link to plans.

Sign out

In Settings, tap Sign out. Signing out removes the session from the phone, stops the share sheet from sending, and clears Recently sent. It does not delete your account, reading lists, devices, or library books.

Delete your account

In Settings, tap Delete account. It opens the account deletion page on the website, where you confirm with your account email. Deleting removes your account, reading lists, devices and library books, and cancels any subscription. See Delete your account.
