• NEW: Apple Watch – start, pause and finish reading sessions right on your wrist, with end-page input via the Digital Crown. The watch works even without your iPhone nearby – your sessions arrive safely on your iPhone later. • NEW: A running reading session now sticks around, even if you close the app – a banner in “Today” and in the book detail takes you back with one tap. • NEW: “Search book data again” – fetch a book’s data once more with a side-by-side comparison and decide field by field what to apply. • NEW: Your own edits are protected – fields you edited by hand are no longer overwritten automatically. And every field in the book detail is now editable. • Improved: Scrolling and app launch stay smooth, even while iCloud syncs in the background. • Improved: The cover search finds the right edition more reliably and in higher resolution. Automatic cover improvement is now a switch – off by default. • Fixed: a crash when deleting a book from the detail view, and an award animation that played on every rating change. • Many further refinements.

• NEW: iCloud Sync – your library syncs automatically across all devices signed in with the same Apple ID. It stays on your device and in your private iCloud – offline-capable, no sign-up, for everyone and without Pro. Deliberate duplicate copies are kept when merging. • NEW: Ownership chip in the library – one tap cycles through All, Owned and Borrowed. • Improved: App launch feels noticeably smoother, even while syncing in the background. • Improved: Your yearly reading-challenge goal now syncs, too. • Fixed: Tapping “Series” now always opens the series view – even from “Today” or Statistics. • Fixed: The average rating can no longer exceed the 5-star scale, German devices show the decimal comma again, and English text no longer shows German-style quotation marks. • Many further refinements.

• NEW: “Today” – your new start tab. BookSafe greets you with a daily page: the quote of the day, your yearly goal with the next milestone stamp, the book you’re currently reading and your upcoming dates (releases and loan returns). Two columns on iPad – with the new wide cards “Coming Up” and “Recently Finished”. • NEW: Quote of the Day – a new, curated reading quote every day (more than 100, mixed German and English) in a card design that changes daily: from book page to chalkboard, star chart and cinema marquee. • NEW: Statistics now include Milestones & Reading History – the contents of the former Achievements tab have moved there. Reading History adds a year overview with tappable months. • Improved: “More books by this author” now finds considerably more – even when catalogues list the author with a middle initial (“Douglas J. Preston”) or a double-barrelled name (“Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach”). • Improved: The “Excellent” seal and top-3 medals now appear reliably on every cover – including series, genre views and the Today tab. • Improved: The four special milestone stamps now come before the counting stamps – they’re usually earned first. • Improved: Date rows stay readable at very large text sizes – cover and countdown stack instead of squeezing the title. • Fixed: For books with several authors, tapping a name now opens the right author’s works. • Many refinements and more than 100 new automated tests.

• NEW: Your reading year as an animated film – flip-up stats, a month-by-month timeline of your finished books, a page counter racing up and, as the finale, your top-3 podium in gold, silver and bronze. Watch it in the app with music or share it as a video (Statistics → “Year in Review” → Play). • NEW: Year in Review with your “Top 3 of the year” – key figures like books, pages, top genre and most productive month; your three books of the year wear gold, silver and bronze medals across the app. • NEW: A fresh look – new accent typeface, cleaned-up colors (wishlist purple, owned books gold), redesigned app icons and a reworked polaroid pinboard in Achievements. • NEW: Shared cards carry subtle BookSafe branding; the library card now shows the full cover. • Improved: “More books by this author” opens a pre-filled “Add book” screen – set reading status, rating and format in one go. • Improved: Covers appear more reliably – even for editions without a cover of their own; the cover picker offers high-resolution candidates again. • Improved: The loans widget makes better use of its space and picks up the cover’s color mood; the extra-large iPad widget shows 8 books. • Improved: Smoother scrolling in the grid view and a buttery-smooth reading-progress slider again. • Improved: Statistics and the reading challenge now count identically; the PDF export truncates long titles cleanly. • Improved: Notifications now appear as banners while the app is open. • Fixed: wrong volume counts like “of 998”; pulsing countdowns respect “Reduce Motion”. • Many refinements and more than 300 new automated tests for everyday stability.

• NEW: More books by this author – tap an author name in your stats or in a book's detail view and browse all their books; books you own carry a golden seal, new finds go straight to your wishlist after a quick confirmation. • NEW: Tappable genres – tap a genre in your statistics to see every book of that genre in your library as a cover grid. • NEW: Author search in “Add book” – the magnifier next to the author field finds all books by that author and fills in the chosen result completely. • NEW: Release-day fireworks – when a wishlist book is released, BookSafe celebrates on the next app start with a big cover and a short burst of fireworks (can be turned off). • Improved: Searching for a series name now reliably surfaces its volumes at the top of the results – even when each volume carries its own episode title. • Improved: “More volumes of this series” now only shows editions in your device language – with correct volume numbers and the right cover per volume. • Improved: Release dates of pre-orders refine themselves automatically as soon as the catalog knows the exact day; year-only dates are shown honestly as a year and can be tapped to set the exact date. • Improved: Library and wishlist filters and sorting are remembered across restarts. • Improved: The loans list shows the reading status right in the row and orders equal statuses by due date; on iPhone, title and author get their full width back. • iPad: The sidebar now starts collapsed to save space – changeable in Settings. • Improved: Author, series and genre views share a calm, unified background gradient and perfectly aligned cover grids. • Many refinements: consistent author initials (“J. K. Rowling”), more robust sharing and better everyday reliability.

• NEW: Special volumes with half numbers – in-between volumes like “book 8.5” are recognized when scanning, shown correctly everywhere (“8.5 of 9”), sorted properly and can be entered manually. • Improved: The series screen now offers every edition of a volume – hardcover, paperback, e-book and audiobook, each with its own cover. • Improved: “Find more volumes” discovers far more volumes; a newly added volume disappears from the suggestions immediately and reliably picks up series + volume number. • Improved: If a print edition carries no series info, BookSafe now picks it up automatically from the e-book or audiobook edition – including the volume number. • Improved: Title search now lists editions individually (hardcover, paperback, e-book, audiobook) in a new, cleaner results list with year and format. • Improved: A tidier “Add book” screen – ISBN entry and scanner now sit right at the top; the rest fills in automatically. • Improved: Wishlist, ownership and loans are now cleanly separated – when a book leaves your wishlist, you choose “Bought” or “Borrowed”. • Improved: When several borrowed books are due on the same day, BookSafe sends one combined reminder instead of many single ones. • Improved: The cover picker also offers covers from other editions of the same book. • Fixed: a possible crash when deleting a book while data was still loading in the background. • Many refinements: more consistent book data, new tropes, small display fixes and a more reliable app update.

• NEW: BookSafe for iPad – a true iPad layout with a sidebar, wide list rows, two-column statistics, a large calendar and an extra-large widget. • NEW: The 6th "Excellent" star – mark your all-time favourites with a special, shimmering star. • NEW: Find more books in a series – see the volumes you're missing and add them with a tap. • NEW: Search by title – tap the magnifier in "Add book" to find a book even without its ISBN. • NEW: Top authors in your statistics – see who you read the most at a glance. • NEW: Automatic theme/trope detection from the book description. • Improved: better readability in light mode over dark cover backgrounds. • Many refinements and more stability.

• NEW: A fresh look across the whole app – calm gradient backgrounds, clean card styling, beautiful in both Light and Dark Mode. • NEW: "Next Release" countdown widget for your Home and Lock Screen – always keep an eye on when your next wishlist book arrives. • NEW: BookSafe Pro – the free version includes up to 50 books; with Pro you can store unlimited books. One-time purchase, no subscription. • NEW: Loan tracker for library books – keep an eye on due dates and get reminded in time. • NEW: Scan a library loan receipt – snap a photo and BookSafe marks the books as borrowed, due dates included. • Improved: noticeably more accurate series and volume-number detection. • Fully localized in English and German. • Many refinements, bug fixes and stability improvements.
