From Anyview to Readingo

The rebirth of a reading app, borne of user expectations and developer persistence.

Background

Originating from the voice of Anyview users:

Anyview was an offline reader created by the developer in the early days. Despite not being updated for many years, it still maintained a large user base.

On March 6, 2022, the developer planned to remove Anyview, triggering a strong reaction from users. Many expressed their attachment to the product through various channels.

Moved by the users' enthusiasm, the developer decided to remake the product to continue the familiar experience for old users.
