Build 886440983v2.422026-06-03 14:41:41
- Fix: Corrupted data on downloads page.
- Fix: On some devices, if next chapter is auto loaded within 3 minutes of app minimization or screen lock; when screen is unlocked or app was maximized, the app jumped back to that auto loaded chapter which loaded within 3 minutes, no matter how many other chapters he/she auto read after that.
- New: Beta support for CarPlay for premium users. Browse your lists from CarPlay itself & play any book's chapter from there. The supported lists are: reading history, follows, downloads, favorites and read later. Current limitation is that you have to be on the chapter page in the app to view all the options in CarPlay. We are working on it and we will remove that limitation, if possible. It may take lots of time to remove that limitation.
