• Links shared from the Facebook, Messenger and Instagram apps now open the article itself. • Google AMP links open the publisher's own page. • Aloud no longer reads out the "Loading…" labels some news sites leave in their text.

MADE FOR IPHONE DUO • Closed, the cover screen is a player with large controls. • Open, the article fills the large display. With a translation on, the original and the translation sit side by side, one on each side of the fold. • Half open, the page and the playback controls move to opposite sides of the fold. • Folding and unfolding keep your place. BETTER FOR BOOKS • Start from any chapter: in a book, open the ••• menu and tap Chapters. The list shows how long each chapter takes to listen to. • Books show their own cover on the shelf. • Choose how the shelf looks: a grid of covers, a list, or text only. The switch is next to the sort button. • For chapters and a cover on a book you already have, add the book again. FIXED • Searching inside a long book no longer freezes Aloud. • Some books showed or read out codes like " " in their text. • A book's own contents page is no longer read aloud before chapter one. • Resizing Aloud in iPhone Mirroring on a Mac no longer switches it to the closed-phone player.

READ IT IN TWO LANGUAGES Open a piece, choose a language, and Aloud translates it on the device — sentence beside sentence, the piece as written on one side and your language on the other, moving together as the voice reads. On a phone the two sit one under the other; on iPad and iPhone Duo they take a page each. Or show the translation on its own. Nothing is sent anywhere. The translating happens on your iPhone, and the languages come from iOS — if you have used Apple's Translate before, they are already there. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Closed, it listens: the cover screen carries the piece, the sentence being spoken, and controls big enough for a thumb. Open it and the piece spreads across two pages. Fold it while you are reading and Aloud offers to keep going aloud from the paragraph your eye was on — it never starts talking on its own. BOOKS, AND THE READING LIST YOU ALREADY HAVE • EPUB: open a book from Files or the share sheet • Bring your bookmarks — export them from Pocket, Instapaper, Raindrop or your browser and open the file in Settings › Import. Aloud queues every link and fetches them one by one • A plain list of links works too ALSO IN THIS VERSION • Every voice can be heard the moment you install Aloud, with no download first • Settings, the speed dial and the sleep timer now take the paper you read on • See what Aloud has downloaded, and remove a voice you don't use • A voice download interrupted by a poor connection carries on instead of starting again • The right system voice for the language you are reading, accent included • Fixed: Settings could crash on a Mac No subscription, no ads, no tracking — same as always.

YOUR SHELF, ON EVERY DEVICE Switch on iCloud in Settings and everything you save appears on your other devices, picking up at the paragraph you stopped on. And because the words are yours, Aloud writes every piece into iCloud Drive as an ordinary text file. Open the Aloud folder in Files, on a Mac, or on iCloud.com and there they all are — readable in Notes, in TextEdit, in anything at all. Drop a text file into that folder and it turns up on your shelf. Nothing is locked in a format only this app can open. Off by default. Nothing leaves your device until you say so. NOW ON IPAD Aloud runs on iPad, with the column held at a comfortable width instead of stretched across the screen. Save on the phone, listen on the iPad, carry on where you left off. ALSO • Turn on iCloud straight from the opening screen — a new device fetches your shelf before you do anything else • Cleaner handling of pieces deleted on another device • Assorted fixes

Two big things, and a handful of small ones. READ WITH YOUR EYES Reader mode is here. Tap the glasses in any piece and the player slips away — no controls, every sentence at full ink, just the page. Aloud remembers which pieces you read this way, down to the paragraph you stopped at: leave, listen to something else, come back, and the page is exactly where you left it. EVERY LANGUAGE YOUR IPHONE SPEAKS Thirty languages — Greek, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean and more — are now read by a natural voice generated on your iPhone, automatically. Anything else is read by the system voice that speaks it. English keeps your chosen voice. No setup. ALSO IN THIS VERSION • Two shelves — To read and Read — with a selector at the bottom • Choose the shelf's paper too, or let it follow the reader • Aloud speaks five more languages: Português, Español, Deutsch, Français, Italiano • Paste a link — copy an address anywhere, tap +, and Aloud fetches it • Find in article, and your choice of text size, font, paper and column width • The article's title now sits in the top bar while you read • Pieces shared without a connection are kept and tried again • Plain guidance when a site only hands over a paywalled preview • Unlock and Restore purchases now live in Settings too • Smoother pausing, resuming and switching between pieces No subscription, no ads, no tracking — same as always.
