Build 380 is on TestFlight

[briarrrn]

Build 380 is on TestFlight. It's the first build of version 1.0.1. Three things I'd most like you to try.

Please test

• Play from the widget without opening Apogee. Touch and hold a Continue widget, choose Edit Widget, and set Tapping an Audiobook to Play Without Opening Apogee. A tap should start or pause the book and leave Apogee closed. Tell me if a tap ever does nothing.
• Headphone and car skip buttons. Settings, Reading and Playback has a new choice: skip by chapter, or 30 seconds forward and 15 back. Thanks to @alfierrc. Tell me how it goes with AirPods or a steering wheel.
• A short rewind after an interruption. When Siri reads out a notification or a call cuts in, the book should pick up about 3 seconds earlier. Tell me if it doesn't after a Siri announcement.

Also in this build

• The Continue widget is rebuilt for every size: the cover at its own shape with a progress ring, your other books on Large, and an Extra Large size on iPad.
• Swiping the player down should follow your finger without catching.
• In French, German, Finnish, Spanish, Polish and Chinese, durations, the reader's time-left line and about thirty labels should no longer show English words. Thanks to @Ribero, @qiuos and @alqu.
• Home's By Author shelf should open faster in a large library.

Good to know
With a widget set to play without opening, a book that isn't downloaded needs a connection, and a tap does nothing if you're signed out. The full list of changes is in Settings, What's New.

Hi, I installed the app on my iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 27) and iPad Mini 6 (iOS 27). The app looks great, but it is very slow when loading and navigating through the sections—an issue I don't experience with the other Bookorbit app. Are you aware of this problem, and is an update planned? Thanks a lot. Big up from France! :)

Hey! Are you on the App Store version or the TestFlight build? I've just pushed out an update that should speed things up when browsing, please check it out and let me know what issues you're having after the update

[Cox92]

Thank you very much for your reply. I reinstalled the application via TestFlight and indeed the update is faster. The slowdown occurs during the "browse" section.

[briarrrn]

Is it after just opening the app or all the time? If it's all the time, could you please go to Browse, scroll up and down and change between Collections/Scopes/Series a few times, then go to More > Feedback and Bug Reports then once the button at the bottom has finished preparing, copy the diagnostics and paste them in a reply here?

Hi, indeed, after 5 to 10 minutes it stabilizes and the travel part becomes more fluid. Tested last night and in the early morning it still seems to have run well on iPhone pro 14. Ditto on the iPad mini 6. Magnificent application!!!! Very good job!
