Improved noise reduction, Voice Focus, and volume boost for clearer listening. The player now shows richer discourse details, and Listening History includes all played discourses. Also includes performance and reliability improvements.

• Noise reduction no longer stops working after you skip between discourses, it stays on for as long as you listen. • Fixed a crackle on louder passages. • Volume boost now goes up to 4x without distorting, and works with or without noise reduction. • Noise reduction uses about half the battery it did, and now defaults to the strongest option when you turn it on.

• Noise reduction is now marked Beta while we keep tuning it, results vary by recording

• Much faster downloads — about 10x quicker, from a faster mirror with automatic fallback to the original source • Series artwork — browse with real waveform art for each series • Downloads interrupted by a network change now recover on their own • Fixed series artwork readability in light mode • Smoother, cached artwork loading while scrolling • New in Settings: My Other Apps

What's new in 1.8.0: • Up Next — see and manage your listening queue right from the player, and jump to any discourse in it • AirPlay button in the player for quick speaker switching Fixes and improvements: • Fixed the lock screen skip buttons sometimes jumping back or forward much further than 15/30 seconds • Listening stats now count correctly when you listen at 1.5x or 2x speed • Deleted bookmarks no longer reappear after syncing with another device • Sleep timer stays accurate on long timers and when the app is in the background • Playback recovers on its own after phone calls, Siri, and system audio hiccups instead of needing an app restart • Clearer message when a download fails due to low storage, and fixed a case where a cancelled download still completed • Series artwork colors no longer change between launches • Better VoiceOver support and improved layout at larger text sizes • Faster search and smoother scrolling in large series

• Fixed the daily accent color — it now actually changes each day and updates across the whole app. • Added a Support Development link in Settings for anyone who'd like to chip in. It's optional and unlocks nothing. • Smaller fixes and polish.

What's New in 1.5.2 A big reliability pass on downloads, plus a few interface fixes. Downloads - Downloads now show real progress. The progress ring used to sit at 0% the whole time and jump to done at the end — it now moves as the file actually downloads, and canceling reliably stops the transfer. - One download at a time, in order. Since the audio server slows down when it's handling several files at once, downloads now run one after another, in the order you tapped them. The first one finishes at full speed so you have something to listen to while the rest wait. - See what's downloading in My Activity. A new "Downloading" section shows the active download with a live progress bar, plus anything queued behind it — each cancelable, not just on the series page. - Tidy up your re-download list. Swipe to remove items you don't want under "Previously Downloaded." Interface - Clearer discourse names. Lists no longer cut off long series names awkwardly — rows read as a clean "Discourse N" under the series heading, with full names where there's room. - Easier-to-read Home screen. Sections now sit on cards so it's clear where each one begins, especially in dark mode.

What's New in 1.5.1 This update is mostly about downloads — fixing what was broken and making sure the app tells you what's going on instead of failing silently. • Downloads work reliably again. Fixed a bug that could stop discourses from downloading. If a download does fail now, the app tells you why — Wi-Fi only, no connection, not enough storage — instead of just doing nothing. • New "Download over Cellular" setting. Downloads stay on Wi-Fi by default. Turn this on in Settings if you want to use mobile data. • Previously downloaded discourses are remembered. Anything you've downloaded before now shows up under "Previously Downloaded" in My Activity, so you can grab it again in a tap — even after deleting and reinstalling the app. • Auto-Play Next plays through properly. A downloaded series now continues to the next discourse without stopping. • The player timer keeps up with the skip buttons. The elapsed and remaining time now update right away when you jump forward or back. • Light mode is the default. The app opens in Light now; switch to Dark or System anytime in Settings. Thank you for listening.

Noise Reduction is now powered by an on-device neural network — much cleaner background-noise removal than before, with no warbling or vibration artifacts • Choose denoise strength: Light, Medium, or Strong. Light keeps the voice clearest; Strong removes the most noise • Long-press the Denoise button in the player to switch strength on the fly • New Noise Reduction section in Settings explaining how it works • "My Activity" tab reorganized — your downloads are front and center, with Listening Stats and Bookmarks at the bottom

• Smart Download now pre-downloads the next episode 20 seconds before the current one ends • Smart Delete works independently of Auto-Play setting • Completion tracking — mark discourses complete/incomplete via long-press • "Recently Completed" section on home screen (only from actual listening) • Series completion progress shown in series header (X/Y completed) • Downloads section headers are now tappable — navigate directly to the series • Auto-Play Next toggle in settings • Listening stats now correctly tracks completed discourses and series • Settings page cleaned up

Listening stats: total time, streak, breakdown by week and month. Full history of every discourse you've played. Popular series now have descriptions and topic tags. Search finds series by topic — try "Zen" or "meditation." Lock screen shows artwork now. Dynamic Island dismisses itself after 5 min paused (saves battery). Player fully works in light mode. Curated sections on the home screen can be dismissed with the X button. Fixed light mode visual glitches and a crash when playing deleted files.
