Is There an iOS Version of Legado?

Short answer: no. Here's the full picture — and what to do if you're on an iPhone.

The facts

Legado (阅读3.0) is an Android-only open-source reader. The developer publishes APK releases on GitHub (gedoor/legado) only. There is no official iOS version, and the app is not on the App Store. That is the whole, honest answer.

Watch out: apps named "Legado" or "阅读3.0" in the App Store are not this open-source project. Some download pages also label an Android APK as "iOS supported" — you will not get an iOS app from them.

Why there's no iOS version

Two practical reasons. First, Legado is maintained by an individual developer as an open-source project; porting to iOS is a large effort with no official resources behind it. Second, iOS requires App Store review, and a reader where "users bring their own content sources" is very unlikely to pass. Don't expect an official iOS app anytime soon.

Alternatives on iPhone

For local books: Apple Books

The built-in Books app handles EPUB well. TXT files can be opened with third-party local-file readers from the App Store.

For the book-source mechanism: no official equivalent

There is no official iOS implementation of Legado's source system. Community ports exist but are unofficial — evaluate them carefully before installing anything.

On desktop: run the Android app

An Android emulator on Windows/Mac runs Legado fine. See the Chinese guide on PC options for details.
