PageWave – where books belong.
PageWave brings order, clarity, and joy to your book collection. Import your own audiobooks and eBooks, organize them at a glance, and enjoy them in a clean, elegant design.

Activation
To unlock the full feature set, a purchase is required — available as a one-time in-app purchase or a subscription. Audiobooks and eBooks themselves cannot be purchased or subscribed to within the app.
Privacy
PageWave does not process personal data beyond what's needed for the app to function. That data stays local on your device or — if enabled — in your iCloud account or on your own WebDAV server. PageWave has no backend of its own.

Ratings & Reviews
This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
PageWave 3.1 includes the following new features:
New in Settings
• Edit metadata: Rename authors, genres, narrators, and series across your whole library, or merge duplicate entries – the change is applied to all affected books.
• Automatic Downloads: PageWave automatically downloads your current book and the “Up Next” suggestions – so you’re always ready to go offline. Optionally over cellular data too.
Audiobook improvements
• Besides PDFs, you can now add images as companion material.
• The book info for audiobooks now shows companion material, if there is any.
• Forgot a track during import? No problem! Simply add more tracks to an audiobook afterwards. You can also delete individual tracks or rearrange them via drag & drop.
• Reorder your companion material via drag & drop and rename it if needed.
Better cover detection on import
• For audiobooks with several included images, PageWave now automatically detects the cover – the rest becomes companion material.
• Cover detection for eBooks (EPUBs) is much more robust, so PageWave automatically detects the right cover for even more eBooks.
Extended metadata
• Books and audiobooks can now have multiple authors and multiple genres.
• You can now add narrators to your audiobooks.
• While editing, PageWave suggests known authors, genres, and narrators from your library.
Bug fixes & optimizations
• Reading progress in PDFs is reliably saved again, and your PDFs open right where you left off.
• Audiobook chapter names no longer show file extensions (e.g. with WAV imports).
• Many more small optimizations and stability improvements.
