Tablet and foldable support! The library, reader, and all settings screens now use adaptive layouts on wide displays. Several bug fixes including correct word count tracking across chapters and proper cleanup when deleting books.
- v2.7iOS
Bienvenue, Bem-vindo, Добро пожаловать, Bienvenido and Ласкаво просимо! In this release we now add App translations for French, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian :-) Reading unites us and stories are experienced everywhere. We hope that Glance is more approachable that way for non-english speakers. If you encounter translation errors, please let us know and we'll fix them :-) Щасливого читання, Feliz lectura, Приятного чтения, Boa leitura, Bonne lecture
- v2.6iOS
Kannitverstan! In this update you can press and hold on a sentence in vertical mode to either copy, or translate it into a language of your choosing! Enjoy reading!
- v2.5iOS
Honey wake up, new EPUB Parser just dropped! Some EPUBs split a chapter into several .html files, which breaks the parser for some books. We've implemented a new parser, which we tested on our library of EPUBs and can now claim that there are overall 15% more words detected. (These 15% are not evenly distributed, most books work perfectly fine and nothing changed. For some books, major parts were missing because of this issue, and those should now work better). If you encounter any issues, please let us know! Happy reading!
- v2.4.1iOS
A small update that shouldn't change anything for most users, but should fix issues for some users. 1) The speed reading view should now look correct for users with text size accessibility settings 2) The WebShelf now supports non-utf8 websites (great news for our non-english-reading friends!) Hope you enjoy this update :-)
- v2.4iOS
TL;DR: WebShelf now supports your own texts, and new colorschemes In this update the WebShelf is further enhanced and you can now enter articles manually, just copy-paste whatever you would like to read, give it a title and it's in your WebShelf waiting for you to be read. Articles in the Webshelf now also memorise your last reading position, so you can interrupt one read and come back later to it. There are also a number of new colorschemes, I hope you'll like them :-) If you have feedback, please reach out to us! We hope you'll enjoy this new update!
- v2.3iOS
In this version you will now be able to add URLs to a new WebShelf. Simply go to the new tab, add your favorite internet articles and must-reads and you should be able to read them within Glance! We hope you will enjoy this distraction-free reading experience. If you have issues with some websites, please let us know so that we can investigate whether there is something that can be about it :-)
- v2.2iOS
- WPM Indicator and Progress overview in a chapter are now tinted in style with the chosen colorscheme - Word counter is now correct (counted characters previously, oops!) - When you finish reading a chapter in landscape mode, you can now tap on the screen to go back to the chapter list, this should be handy for iPad users :-) Enjoy! Thank you very much for your feedback!
- v2.1iOS
- Errors with some EPUB files should now be resolved (For the people who read change logs: Some table of content entries end not only with e.g. chapter1.html but have an added #filepos1337 after the URL. This causes issues if not handled properly..) - Added a dark mode tritanopia colorscheme :-) - Some minor improvements. If you had issues with books, try deleting and re-importing them. We'll be glad to listen to your feedback!
- v2.0iOS
In this version a lot has changed. TL;DR You need to re-import your books, we are very sorry for this inconvenience :( - We use SwiftData to persist your books now, so no more indexing errors if books change. We saw no failure-proof way to migrate from the old storage solution to the new without allowing all kinds of errors. - Based on your feedback you now are able to change your reading goals and pick up where you left off sentence-wise. Your last sentence position is stored. - We simplified the color picking with a selection of 14 colorschemes. If you are missing your favorite scheme, please write us an email and we may include it in future versions of Glance :) - You now have a fully-featured font selector. Choose any font you like. But don't complain if you can't read Wingdings :-) - The loading times are much better for opening long chapters. We parse the book while importing it and use an on-device storage for these texts such that especially mobi files open now in a breeze.
- v1.3iOS
In 1.3 we added support for .mobi books! Now you can also enjoy Glance-ing (drumroll) at these books in a stylish and efficient way.
- v1.2iOS
In 1.2, we're delighted to introduce the much requested "Overview Mode"! When opening a chapter, you'll now be greeted with a sentence-by-sentence view. From there, you can either start speed reading in vertical mode using the new reading mode toggle, or switch to landscape for a minimalistic reading experience with familiar gestures. We hope you enjoy the changes and look forward to your feedback!
- v1.1iOS
Some EPUBs that indicate chapters with chapternumber elements should now be handled by Glance.
