Getting started is faster. First launch is now four steps: pick your listening language, hear on-device vs. cloud narration side by side, learn the basics, and follow your shows. No more trips to Settings to download language packs and voices up front — we only walk you through that when you switch to On-device mode. While playing, you now see the episode's or show's own artwork — on the Lock Screen and in CarPlay too. Content without artwork gets a cover made from the show's initials instead of a row of identical icons. The white corners around the app icon are gone.

Forwarding email is now easier to get started with. Add content by forwarding email right from the + menu or the empty home screen. Your inbox now walks you through it: copy your address, send yourself a test email in one tap, and follow step-by-step auto-forwarding guides for Gmail, Outlook, QQ Mail and 163. Confirmation emails — like "please confirm your subscription" — now get their own section, where you can open the confirmation link right in the app, so subscribing a newsletter to your personal address works end to end. Also fixed: an email read aloud on your phone now opens correctly afterward.

Added an Up Next queue: finished conversions line up automatically, and playback continues to the next episode when one ends. Episode notes now show before you convert, so you can see what an episode is about first.

fix some UI issues

· A cleaner look throughout: Home, Featured and Settings have all been reorganised, with clearer artwork and sections. · Press and hold any line in the player to turn it into a bilingual quote card and share it. The image is made on your iPhone — nothing is uploaded. · New on the subscription page: "Try it free on this device". Text, web articles and your own audio files are converted and read aloud entirely on device — no points, no network. (Podcasts still run in the cloud and use points.) · A new points statement shows exactly where each conversion went. · Switching phones no longer means subscribing again — sign in with the same Apple Account and your points come with you. · The player remembers whether you were last listening to the original or the converted audio. · Redeem codes are supported: a code turns straight into points or a subscription. · Settings now has "Tell a friend" and "Contact us". · Fixed a flash of the home screen before the first-run walkthrough, which is back to its full step-by-step version.
