The latest major update resulted in a modest rating increase of 0.11 stars, moving from 4.63 to 4.74. While interface improvements generated positive sentiment, these gains are currently undermined by regressions in audio playback and bookmark functionality.

How it played out

Retrospective analysisAugust 21, 2026

The app rating improved by 0.11 stars following the latest update, driven by strong sentiment on iOS despite a small sample size. While the update introduced new navigation and audio playback bugs that users explicitly attribute to the release, the overall rating remains positive. Momentum appears stable as the user base balances appreciation for interface changes against functional regressions in core reading tools.

Marlvel takeaways

  • Prioritize a patch for audio playback errors and bookmark persistence, as these regressions offset the gains from new navigation tools.
  • Investigate the UI layout to restore content visibility, which users report is currently obstructed by the latest interface changes.
  • Monitor the Android user base closely, as the 0.13 rating increase is currently dampened by functional instability.
