Bug fixes: - Fixes a crash on the “Setting up your library…” screen when updating from an older version of Novelwave. This mostly affected large libraries on iPhones running iOS 17. - Fixes a crash that could stop an older library from being brought across when two of its folders had been saved with the same ID. If your library looked empty after a recent update, it hasn’t gone anywhere. Update to this version and open Novelwave. Your books, folders and bookmarks will be brought across. Thank you to everyone who reported this and sent in details. It made the fix possible.

This update brings older libraries into Novelwave and smooths out a few rough edges. • Libraries from Novelwave 1.x now come across. If your iOS version kept you on 1.x and Novelwave 3 opened to an empty library, open it again and your audiobooks, shelves, progress and bookmarks will move in. • Moving a large library is clearer and quicker. You can see how many audiobooks have come across so far, and the screen stays on until it's done. Keep Novelwave open while it works. • Novelwave no longer gets stuck on "Setting up your library…" when it opens. • The play button shows the right state as soon as the player opens. • The sleep timer menu no longer flickers while it's open.

NEW IN 3.0 • Sync between devices: shelves, audiobook details, listening progress and bookmarks stay in sync through iCloud • Import from iCloud Drive: add audiobooks to Novelwave’s folder, then download, pause, resume or remove them whenever you like • Export to Files: a single audiobook, a selection, a shelf or your whole library • A refreshed library, player and profile A PLAYER WITH MORE PRESENCE • The cover sits forward while playing and eases back when paused, over a background tinted with its colour • A scrubber you can grab without playback jumping • A new speed control with firm stops at the presets, showing how long the rest of the book takes • Animated controls with haptic feedback, and confetti when you finish a book • Merged audiobooks show each file’s own cover again AROUND THE APP • Reworked Now Playing widgets, with skip buttons on the medium size • A resident cat for empty shelves, searches, bookmarks, chapters and widgets • Import straight from an empty shelf • Text follows your Dynamic Type setting on every screen • Smoother scrolling, with covers that load once at the right size • Request a TestFlight invitation from Profile to try new features early

Version 2.5.3 fixes widgets not syncing properly, updates the remaining listening duration to take account of playback speed, and updates the player view background based on the audiobook artwork.

Fix an issue with "Now Playing" controls on the lock screen not working randomly.

This version contains a potential fix for the blank widget state that some users experience, as well as better thermal and battery management.

Version 2.4.0 brings the following improvements: - Added small and medium home screen widgets to quickly resume your currently listening audiobook. - Rewind and fast-forward can now continue into the previous or next file within the same audiobook. - Choose whether an audiobook should automatically start playing each time you open it. - Optionally rewind the audiobook slightly whenever playback pauses, so you never lose your place. - The chapters and bookmarks list now remembers your last selected tab, so you pick up exactly where you left off.

Version 2.3.0 brings the following improvements: - Added separate skip duration controls for rewind and fast-forward; - Improved metadata extraction to better detect and preserve audiobook information; - You can now create a new collection directly while moving multiple items; - You can now open the App Store review form from My Profile anytime and share what you enjoy or what could be better;

Version 2.1.0 reintroduces light mode and adds a setting to manually set between light, dark and system default theming.

Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the implementation, with a focus on performance and reliability. Major issues of the previous versions, such as inconsistent progress tracking have been fixed, and the UI has been updated to improve the user experience.

This update fixes an issue with playback skip duration not being set initially. It now defaults to 30 seconds, unless changed in the Settings page.

You can now choose your preferred skip duration in Settings, and playback speed can go up to 6x for even quicker listening.

Playback is now smoother and more responsive, with improved battery efficiency while listening.

You can now see audiobook progress as a percentage in your library. We also added a simple Settings page so you can decide whether 30‑second rewind/fast‑forward should cross chapter boundaries.

This update brings a slight adjustment to the way rewind works. Skipping back 30 seconds will no longer send you to the previous chapter.
