It is not a lack of interest

Good reading keeps losing to "when I have time"

The saved list grows. What you understand and remember does not.

Everything ends up somewhere different

Articles sit in a browser, posts in several apps, and documents in folders. Finding something again begins with remembering where it went.

Long reads wait for time that never arrives

You set aside anything substantial, then forget why it caught your attention in the first place.

Even finished reading is hard to reuse

Without the key idea or your own question, the next visit starts with searching and rereading from the beginning.

Capture / Read / Ask / Keep

Start with one thing you genuinely want to read

You do not have to organize an old backlog first. Bring in one recent item and work through it in four clear steps.

  1. 1

    Capture

    Paste a public link, use the iOS share sheet, or choose a local document so the next read is not scattered across apps and folders.

    See the currently supported sources and files

  2. 2

    Read

    Begin with a summary, key points, and the shape of the argument, then spend your attention on the parts that matter to you.

  3. 3

    Ask

    Ask about a difficult concept or follow an idea further. Questions stay grounded in the content you imported.

    Keep

    Save the items and answers that changed your understanding, so you have a useful path back instead of another forgotten bookmark.

What it does

Move beyond saving and into understanding

The product screens above follow the Capture, Read, Ask, Keep journey. Here is what each part can do, along with the limits that matter.

Find the shape

Know what an item is about before reading every line

AI can organize a summary, key points, and the content's structure. Use that overview to decide what deserves a closer read.

Return to the source

An overview is a way in, not the final word

You can return to the original content for detail. Audio may be available after generation, depending on the item and available usage limits.

Follow the question

Continue from the point where understanding stopped

Ask about unfamiliar ideas or pursue a claim further. AI can misunderstand the source, so verify anything important against the original.

Build a return path

Keep the reading and answers worth finding again

Saved items and selected answers live in your personal library, where tags and topics can help you return to them later.

Current support

Bring links and documents into one reading flow

What can be imported depends on the source and the file itself. These are the current boundaries.

Some public links

Royal Review can import some publicly accessible articles, posts, and video links. Source structures differ, so results vary and some content may not import completely.

Common text documents

You can choose TXT, Markdown, Word, and text-based PDF files when you want to continue reading material you already have.

Complex PDFs can lose layout

Multiple columns and mixed text-and-image layouts may not be preserved. Scanned PDFs are not treated like ordinary text-based PDFs.

Privacy and product limits

Know what the app does, and what it cannot promise

Royal Review uses cloud services to process and store content in your account. Its AI features use models provided in mainland China. The app is not fully offline, and AI output is not guaranteed to be correct.

Frequently asked questions

What to know before you begin

What is Royal Review for?

What sources and file formats can I add?

What happens with complex or scanned PDFs?

Will other users see what I save?

Where is Royal Review available, and what is available in English?

Availability varies by region. The app interface can switch between Simplified Chinese and English, and you can try importing English content. AI-generated results may still be in Chinese and vary with the content and model.

Is Royal Review free to download?

Royal Review is free to download from the App Store. AI features and generation may be subject to available usage limits; check the App Store and the app for current details.

Start with the one saved item you still want to read
