WatchAmp 2.5 adds Simplified Chinese localization, updates WatchAmp Premium to a lifetime purchase model, and improves how free playback limits and Premium entitlements are handled across launches. WatchAmp Premium - Lifetime Purchase Changes Thanks to user feedback, WatchAmp is moving away from monthly/annual subscriptions to a single "Lifetime" Purchase option. Users who had an active paid "Annual" subscription will automatically be upgraded to the Lifetime license. Users who were on the previous free "2-Week Trial" introductory offer, and the "Monthly" subscription will retain access until their subscriptions expire, at which point they will have the option to purchase a "Lifetime" license in the app. If you have any questions or trouble with moving to the Lifetime license, please email help@nerdypup.com for assistance. New in this update: - WatchAmp Premium is now offered as a lifetime purchase. - Simplified Chinese localization for the watch app and iPhone companion app - Redeem Code support in the iPhone companion Premium screen - Restore Purchases support for the new Premium flow - Clearer Premium status messaging for lifetime, grandfathered annual, and legacy subscription access - Updated walkthrough and FAQ content for the new lifetime Premium option - Improved purchase loading, restore, pending approval, and error states Fixes: - Long press artist navigation could sometimes stall

NEW: - New long-press album art actions on Now Playing for View Artist and View Album for both Streaming and Downloaded Tracks* - New View Artist action button below Download All on album track lists - Initial Localization support for Chinese, Simplified FIXES: - Fixed for playback stall after changing from Cellular to Wifi and Wifi to Cellular on Cellular watches. - Better audio-session interruption handling which pauses playback and timeline reporting when watch receives a call and only resumes after the interruption if playback was active before. A manual pause of playback during a call clears the auto-resume so the app won’t restart playback after a user-initiated pause during an interruption. *NOTE: New long-press album art actions will only work on tracks that are downloaded after updating to 2.1.1 or later. Existing downloaded tracks will not have these options.
