Is Futon available for iOS/iPadOS?
There is no iOS or iPadOS version and neither are there plans for one. Porting is difficult due to the separate codebases of iOS and Android apps.
Can I read light novels?
Futon can't read light novels; it's an image parser, not a text parser.(we are thinking about adding light novel compatibility in the future.)
