BeeReader 1.6 makes the public domain book catalog easier to browse and try. • Added many more public domain books across English, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish. • New category browsing helps you find short reads, poetry, stories, novels, and philosophy. • Search the public domain catalog by title, author, description, or tag. • Books already added to your library are easier to recognize and are sorted after new options. • Public domain book details now include better localized metadata.

Story so far is here, without slowing down your default import flow. • Optional “Prepare Story So Far” creates short chapter recaps on iPhone, then sends them to Apple Watch. • Imports stay fast by default: AI cleanup and story recaps are off unless you choose them. • Your AI import choices are now remembered across launches. • The Status section now appears above Your Books, so transfer and AI progress are easier to see. • The Apple Watch recap screen now keeps Continue Reading fixed while the recap scrolls.

Reading on your wrist is faster, lighter, and easier to resume. • New bookmarks on Apple Watch: touch and hold to save your place, then jump back from the contents menu. • Bookmarks now appear and delete immediately, without needing to reopen the list. • Large books open much faster by loading one chapter at a time. • Long chapters are split into reading units for smoother Digital Crown scrolling and lower memory use. • Auto-scroll now pauses when you scroll manually, and can pause while the watch display is dimmed. • Optional “open last book on launch” makes wrist-raise reading quicker. • Progress is more accurate across the reader, library, and complication.

Reading on your wrist just got smoother. • Swipe between chapters and double-tap to see where you are — chapter, progress, and quick jump. • Your place is now saved reliably, no matter how deep you are in a book. • Long chapters scroll smoothly under the Digital Crown, with no stutter. • Books open faster — your library no longer freezes while a chapter loads. • New: browse and send free public-domain classics from Project Gutenberg, right from your phone. • Better VoiceOver support across font size, themes, and auto-scroll settings.

• New: a "continue reading" watch-face complication — see how far you've read and tap to jump right back in. • New: an on-phone bookshelf to re-send books to your watch without re-importing — handy when you set up a new Apple Watch. • Import now confirms when a book has safely landed on your watch. • Faster, lighter handling of large books.

Add Bee Reader to your watch face! The new complication lets you open the app and pick up right where you left off with a single tap. Plus minor stability improvements.
