Bug Fix: Resolved 'random' playback pause caused by iCloud sync

SMARTER LIBRARY ORGANIZATION Browse your collection your way. A new smart grouping view organizes series into folders alongside standalone titles, so you can see your whole library at a glance. Group by author, series, or tags — and jump anywhere instantly with the new A-Z quick scrubber. A built-in duplicate finder helps you keep your collection clean. iCLOUD SYNC (BETA) Pick up where you left off on any device. Your playback position now syncs automatically when you pause. Intelligent content matching prevents duplicates, and a new conflict resolution system gracefully handles edits from multiple devices. First sync on a new device is dramatically faster, and background sync uses noticeably less battery. LIBRIVOX CATALOG (BETA) Explore thousands of free public domain audiobooks directly inside Bardley. Downloads are now resumable — if your connection drops, Bardley picks up right where it left off. A persistent download queue tracks every transfer so you always know what's happening. REDESIGNED SETTINGS Settings have been reorganized into four focused tabs with clear, grouped sections. Privacy controls are front and center so you can see exactly what stays on your device. ROCK-SOLID PLAYBACK We hunted down and eliminated several bugs that could cause random audio pauses or unexpected playback stops. Lock mode now fully prevents accidental scrubbing. Playback in Bardley 3 is the most dependable it has ever been. UNDER THE HOOD - Faster sync, especially on fresh device setup - Lower battery usage during background operations - iOS 26 UI polish and compatibility - Hundreds of minor improvements Thank you for choosing Bardley. We'd love to hear from you.

Multi-Part Audiobooks — Import and play audiobooks with multiple files as one book, with a unified chapter list and easy part navigation. Tags — Organize your library with tags instead of a single genre field. Group and filter by any tag. Reliability — Smoother iCloud sync

iCloud Library (Alpha) Sync your audiobook library across devices using iCloud Drive. Upload, download, and offload individual books or your entire library. Features include live download progress, Wi-Fi-only download thresholds, auto-upload for new imports, and a "Delete Everywhere" option for clean removal across devices. Sync history lets you track recent operations. Privacy-first: all cloud features are opt-in and off by default. Audnexus Chapter Lookup Search Audnexus by ASIN to replace generic "Chapter 1, Chapter 2" labels with the actual chapter titles from Audible. ASIN is now a dedicated field you can edit and search for alongside existing metadata sources. PDF Viewer Enhancements Thumbnail caching makes page navigation faster. Improved table of contents and page controls round out the experience. New UI Styles Choose from four visual styles in Settings: Classic, Liquid Glass, Frosted Minimal, and Vibrant Glass. Liquid Glass and Vibrant Glass take advantage of iOS 26's translucent design language, with automatic fallback on earlier versions. Under the Hood Migrated from AVAudioPlayer to AVPlayer for more reliable playback and better chapter handling. Full Swift 6 compatibility. Localization infrastructure for future language support.
