A tidier share. The card already carries the title and the summary, so the message that travels with it is now just the link — one picture, one link, nothing repeated.

Sharing now sends the artwork. Tap Share on any book and its cover goes along with the title and a short summary, as one card — so what you made looks like something when it lands.

Starting a new story is easier to find. A New Story button now sits right at the top of your Library, next to your books.

Share any story. Tap Share on a book to send its cover and a short blurb to whoever you like — they don't need the app to see it. And if they do have SoriStory, tapping the link opens the story right in the app.

Your covers now stay with you offline. Take the app on a plane and your library still looks like your library. Covers also load faster and take up less room on your device. British and American accents now both appear under either English, so you can pick the one you actually want. Fixed some layout trouble at larger text sizes: stray boxes around the Play and Shuffle buttons, and cover art that stopped short of the top of the screen.

Tap Home while you are on Home to reshuffle your feed — it now actually changes, and the covers keep up with it. Home no longer rearranges itself while you are scrolling. Search opens with the keyboard ready, and the tab pills step aside while you type.

Search now has its own button beside the navigation bar — tap it to search your whole library. It steps out of the way while you scroll, so nothing covers the page. Layout polish throughout, including larger navigation and headers on tablets.

A cleaner, simpler look: navigation is now three buttons, with Sori chat and your profile at the top of the screen. Better support for large text sizes. Bug fixes and performance improvements.

Story Log has a new look. History, Hidden and Deleted are now three tabs, and your books appear as covers just like in your Library. Switch a story's language and its title and summary now change with it, not just the words inside. English follows your region. Readers in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and beyond now get British spelling and a British narrator by default. Deleting a custom voice happens right away now, so the slot frees up the moment you record a new one. Also fixed: tapping the same spark twice could create the same story twice, Sori's chat bubbles now fit their text, and Hearts sorts by when you hearted a book.

• A much smaller download. SoriStory is now a fraction of its previous size, so it installs faster and takes up far less space. • Every language, ready on demand. Narrated stories are now available in all supported languages, streamed instantly when you play them. • British English narration. Choose British English and hear stories read in a British voice. • More reliable profiles, covers, and audio, plus a range of bug fixes and polish.

Narration now generates once and syncs across your devices - a story you've already heard plays instantly everywhere, with no waiting. Plus reliability fixes that keep your stories, voices, and family profiles safe, and polish across the Library and story pages.

New: Heart your favorite stories and collections to keep them all in one place — tap the heart on any cover. Plus behind-the-scenes fixes to account sync, account deletion, and settings.
