I’m having an issue where the image of a page is not advancing, but instead just swapping between two pages. The page tracker correctly tracks what page I should be on, however. This is happening on my iPad. The same book is advancing correctly on my iPhone. I’ve included a video capturing the problem.
I should also say that this happens across multiple files. I have tried deleting and redownloading them.
Doing further experimentation, this issue persists across all reader modes that I’ve tested, including vertical scroll, and also occurs with files that I had never even opened before. Opening the files in other apps, they function normally. I have tried renaming files, deleting reading progress, downloading and importing fresh copies of the files from the original source, and using the factory reset option. Nothing has made any difference. The app is essentially unusable on my iPad.
Hey there，
I have the same issue on iPad and iPhone.
Are you running iOS 26 by any chance？
I am having the same issue and I just updated to the public beta of iPadOS 26. I figured it was a bug with that.
I do not see this issue with my phone which is still in iOS 18.
Yes, you’re both exactly correct. It’s the same issue described here: PDFs broken - #4 by young.horn5016
That’s on me, then.
The latest versions should workaround this issue. iOS 26 broke PDF view reuse, and that is what causes the issue. Panels 3.8.0 and higher, disable view reuse on PDF on iOS/iPadOS/MacOS 26. Hopefully they fix it before the final release, and we can re-enable view reuse. Until then, PDF pages will load a few milliseconds slower. But at least they work.
