Arabic now reads the way it should. The interface is fully translated, and Arabic is drawn in a proper Arabic typeface throughout the app and the reader. Also in this update: - Stories appear faster the first time you open the app, even on a slow connection - The radio plays the language you chose, and only offers languages a story can actually play - Layout fixes for right-to-left reading

Stability and performance improvements throughout the reader. - Faster start-up and smoother page turns, especially on older devices. - Fixes to the library, search and your saved stories. - A number of smaller corrections reported by readers.

WONDER RADIO Press play once and the library plays itself. A continuous shuffle of narrated stories that never repeats one you have already heard. Filter it by category, and control it from a mini bar that stays with you anywhere in the app. LISTENING - Audio keeps playing when you leave the app, with controls on your lock screen - Set a default playback speed once and it stays set - Wi-Fi-only auto-download, so nothing large arrives over cellular READING - Landscape reading - A brightness slider that works everywhere in the app, independent of your device setting - Move between books straight from the book page, by swipe or by arrow - Reading Mood themes and Bedtime Mode, now labeled so you can tell what each one does - Plain A- and A+ buttons for font size, replacing a control that cycled unpredictably - Reduced motion and data saver options FIXED - The play button no longer goes blank for a few seconds after you tap it - Books open on the first page, not on a summary page that was never part of the book - Every book on the home shelves now shows its title - Searching no longer jumps you to a different screen - 43 illustrations that had quietly failed to load now load - "Download failed" no longer appears over audio that is playing perfectly well - Category banners show real covers again - Stories still in preparation can no longer be opened by mistake - Character artwork can be tapped to zoom on iPhone The how-to popup is gone, and the sign-in screen is simpler, with reading as a guest kept in plain sight.
