Book deletion works properly again. Bug Fixes • Fixed an issue that could prevent a local or downloaded audiobook from being deleted. • Deleting a book now removes its audio, cover, and supporting files as expected, without affecting the rest of your library. • Deleted books remain removed after BookDeck is closed and reopened.

Every book, right where it belongs. Playback • Each book now keeps its listening position to itself. A newly added title no longer picks up the place from the book you were just playing. • Unreadable or damaged audio no longer looks like a completed track. BookDeck stops cleanly instead of moving ahead unexpectedly. Audiobookshelf • Signing in, reconnecting, and returning after time away now keep BookDeck tied more reliably to your Audiobookshelf connection. • Downloads recover more dependably after a renewed connection or relaunch, and cover art stays matched to the server you are using. • Search follows you while you browse inside Audiobookshelf, then starts fresh after you leave. Navigation • When BookDeck reopens directly to the player, swipe back returns you to your library the way it should.

A smoother listen, from first chapter to last. Playback • Books split across multiple files now flow seamlessly from one track to the next, keeping the correct chapter on screen in BookDeck, on the Lock Screen, and in CarPlay. • Skip ahead, jump between chapters, or drag the progress bar — BookDeck lands where you expect, even when chapter progress is enabled. • Your playback speed stays with you across every chapter and track, including on the Lock Screen and in CarPlay. • Reopen BookDeck after a force-quit and it returns to the position and speed you left. The sleep timer's gentle fade remains smooth through the final moment. Audiobookshelf • Stay signed in through long listening sessions and time away from the app. BookDeck quietly renews your connection in the background. • Downloads keep moving when that connection renews, rather than stopping partway through. • If you connected Audiobookshelf in an earlier version, a one-time Reconnect prompt moves you onto the new, steadier connection. Reliability • BookDeck's playback foundation has been rebuilt for more dependable listening across calls, Siri, AirPods, Bluetooth, the Lock Screen, and CarPlay — while preserving the familiar player and controls you already know.

Wherever it stops, it starts back right. Reliability • After any interruption — a phone call, Siri, an alarm, a notification read aloud, or a voice reply to a text — playback comes back more reliably and lands at exactly the right spot, even when interruptions stack up back to back. If it can't pick up on its own, one tap on play puts you right back in place — never at the start, never somewhere random. • If your AirPods or other Bluetooth headphones drop out mid-interruption, BookDeck stays quiet instead of suddenly blasting through the phone speaker. Reconnect and it picks right back up where you left off. • Play and pause from the Lock Screen, Control Center, CarPlay, and the Home Screen widget feel more responsive — fewer presses that seem to do nothing, and rapid taps settle cleanly instead of sticking. Refinements • Smart Rewind got smarter. The gentle rewind after a long pause now respects chapter boundaries, so it never pulls you back before the start of the chapter you're in. • Your place is now remembered across launches, so that gentle rewind works correctly even after the app has been fully closed and reopened.

Steadier through every interruption. Reliability • Phone calls, Siri, and alarms no longer leave playback in a strange state — BookDeck resumes only when iOS says it's safe, and stays put when it shouldn't. • Back-to-back interruptions can't trigger a surprise resume; the player picks up cleanly, from a few seconds before you were interrupted. • When playback can't recover, the Lock Screen and Now Playing correctly show a stopped player instead of a stale one. • Returning after a long time in the background re-syncs your position more accurately. Thank you for listening with us.

Your server, smoother than ever. New • A new floating dock in Audiobookshelf — Home, Series, and Collections one tap away, with an expanding search bubble that finds anything in a beat. Refinements • Launching offline now shows your last-seen Audiobookshelf shelves instead of a blank screen. • Wide and landscape cover art now stays cleanly inside its library cell, never bleeding past the edge. Reliability • Listening Stats and bookmarks stay with a book when you delete and re-import it. • Audiobookshelf books re-imported from your server reconnect to their existing history automatically. • Audiobookshelf covers load immediately on first scroll after launch. • The cover-art cache self-cleans weekly, so it never grows unbounded on disk. Thank you for listening with us.

Your library, now without limits. New • Audiobookshelf is here. Connect BookDeck to your own audiobook server and browse your collection right from the app — search by book, author, narrator, series, or genre, and download anything you want for offline listening. Series and collections each get their own home. • Share Sheet import. Send audiobooks to BookDeck from Files, Mail, or any app that supports sharing. They land in your library, ready to play. • Per-book speed memory. Each book remembers the pace you set it to. Pick up where you left off — at the speed you left off. • Multi-track audiobooks. Books split across many files now play as one continuous listen, with chapters intact. Refinements • Listening Stats hold steady across edits — change a book's title or author and your minutes stay with the book. • Bulk delete now skips the book you're currently listening to, so an active session never gets cut off. Reliability • Your last position survives upgrades, force-quits, and cold launches more dependably. • The widget handles big cover art without memory hiccups, and refreshes live the moment you swap an image. • Lock Screen artwork updates the instant you change a cover. • Tap-dead and play-dead moments at cold start are gone. • CarPlay starts cleanly with multi-track books. • Books no longer borrow each other's playback speed. • Importing very large libraries handles low-storage situations gracefully. • Background saves are lighter, so scrubbing stays smooth on long sessions. Thank you for listening with us.

A steadier, more polished BookDeck. New • Vinyl that spins like a record. Toggle rotation on or off; it spins up on play and eases to a stop on pause. • A tighter speed sheet — more compact, quicker to dial in your narrator. • Roomier player presentation on larger phones. Refinements • Smoother scrubbing with snapshot-accurate start, gentler haptics, and chapter-aware ticks. • Sharper, faster cover art across list cells, mini player, Now Playing, and widgets. • Artwork pasted from the clipboard handles more formats and decodes in the background. • Widgets reliably show the right cover for the right book. Reliability • Your last position survives backgrounding and force-quits more dependably. • Bookmarks dismiss cleanly when you tap to play. Thank you for listening with us.

A quieter, steadier BookDeck. New • Listening Stats — your time with each book, today, the last seven days, the last thirty, and your current streak. Real wall-clock minutes, regardless of speed. Find it in Settings. • A smoother path from shelf to player — one tap, one transition. Fixes & polish • Header now clears the Dynamic Island on Pro iPhones. • Folder zoom lands cleanly in the cozy library. • Cover art stays with you in the mini player and Now Playing. • Play/pause icon no longer flickers between bookmarks and lists. • Last-played book and position survive force-quits more reliably. • Better recovery if a library needs to be re-imported. Thank you for listening with us.

New in 2.0.2 Edit your books Tap and hold any book to bring up the menu, then tap Edit. From there you can change the book's title, change its author, and swap its cover art. For the cover, pick a new image from your Photo Library, paste one from the clipboard, or choose a file from your device. Your changes are saved instantly and show up everywhere — in your library, the player, the Lock Screen, and the Home Screen widget. Improvements • Covers you add are resized automatically so they don't take up extra space. Bug fixes • Books no longer lose their folder after a CarPlay session. • The Home Screen widget now shows your current book right away instead of waiting for the app to open. • The Lock Screen cover updates correctly after you change a book's artwork.

New Features • You can now select folders in bulk edit mode — move or delete entire folders alongside your books in one action Improvements • Folder navigation position is now preserved when switching between library views • Playback speed shown in the widget now displays more cleanly (e.g. "1.25×" instead of "1.2500×") Bug Fixes • Fixed an issue where books could lose their folder assignment after a library refresh • Fixed an issue where moving books out of a folder could mistakenly move books already in the destination • Fixed an issue where the bulk-move progress bar did not show as complete after finishing
