  1. v2.0.0+23iOS
    Welcome to the all new, completely rebuilt OL Reader! It looks the same, and all your favorite features are still there, but it's all new under the hood and there are some great new features:
    
    • More information on the shelf pages, including book counts and author names
    • An expanded search interface allows you to find books both on your shelves and in Open Library, with more search and sorting options
    • OL Reader now supports Open Library Lists (still a bit experimental)
    • Poke around and see what else you can find!
    • OL Reader is now an open source project — see the app help page for more information
  2. v1.0.16+23iOS
    Hello, OpenLibrary readers! Just a small update this time to help things run more smoothly.
    • Changes on the OpenLibrary server broke the way we were retrieving availability information, which sometimes made it hard to change editions or open books that should have been available. This update resolves those problems, but also turns off some of the up-to-date availability reporting. Hopefully we'll get everything working again soon.
    • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused books without covers to not display the placeholder image.
  3. v6Android
  4. v1.0.15+21iOS
    • Updates required to support OpenLibrary API changes
    • Fixed a few small bugs, probably introduced some new ones.
  5. v1.0.14+20iOS
    Some bug fixes and under-the-hood work towards future features:
    • Tap behind the book to enter fullscreen now works again after an Internet Archive update broke it
    • Fixed an issue where bad book entries could cause a shelf to only partially load
  6. v1.0.13+19iOS
    Just some minor fixes this time around:
    • Handled changes to the OpenLibrary search that were resulting in bad data in the Book Info window
    • Disabled the bookreader "Swipe to turn page" action when not in 2-page mode; if this makes you sad, let us know
    • Fixed a display bug in the bookreader help overlay
    • Fixed saved visual adjustments not being reapplied in bookreader
  7. v1.0.11+17iOS
    This version fixes a few annoying bugs:
    • A user was having trouble pinching to zoom without triggering a page turn swipe; this update fine-tunes those gestures a bit more.
    • I got very tired of accidentally touching the book page edge in full-screen mode and jumping to a random page with no way to jump back; the app now asks for confirmation before jumping to a different part of the book.
    • Bookshelves would occasionally empty and reload when the data got stale; refreshes are now more incremental.
  8. v1.0.10+16iOS
    We hope this will finally fix the issue with some devices not loading the book reader. Let us know!
  9. v1.0.9+1iOS
    Addresses a bug that prevented the reading view from fully loading on some devices. Happy reading!
  10. v1.0.8+1iOS
    It's embarrassing, but sometimes fixing one bug causes something else to break. Programmers call that a "regression," which is just a fancy word for "we goofed up."
  11. v1.0.7+1iOS
    • Fixes an issue where full-screen mode wasn't always using the full screen
    • Fixes (hopefully) some login bugs
    • Fixes that thing where the time/battery info would reappear after your device was closed
    • Improves a few display issues on smaller devices
  12. v1.0.6+1iOS
    Just a couple of small changes to improve your reading experience:
    • Fixes a failure of full-screen mode caused by a change in the Internet Archive Bookreader
    • Reloading a book in reading mode now attempts a new checkout if necessary
  13. v1.0.5+11iOS
    This update fixes some bugs and adds two new features:
    • In the settings, you can now tell your screen not to sleep while the bookreader is open
    • There's a new switch that will allow you to capture a debugging log that you can send to us if you're having trouble with something.
  14. v1.0.4+1iOS
    This update provides some user experience improvements:
    • When opening a book, you get a progress bar instead of a spinner, tricking your brain into thinking the process is going faster.
    • Mysterious flashes of Internet Archive web content during book loading are now minimized.
    • If you have an audiobook or Project Gutenberg text in your Reading Log, the app now tells you it can't yet handle those formats instead of just failing.
  15. v1.0.3+1iOS
    This update reduces some bookreader reloading by prompting you when you return to a book with an expired loan.
  16. v1.0.2+1iOS
    This update improves the experience of reading in single page mode and adds some onboarding help for using the book reader.
  17. v1.0.1+1iOS
    This release improves login window positioning on some devices and updates the app name in the App Store for better searchability.
