J-Novel App v. 1.1 iOS Open Beta

Not the biggest deal, but since this update adds the feature, I thought I should note it.

Steps to reproduce:

Read Part 2 of Mixed Bathing up to 77% on iPhone 7 and close the book.
Switch to iPad Air 2 and read until the end.
Exit book on iPad
The percent noted next to the book stays at 77%
Pressing the back button and returning to the series page brings it back to 100%

Note that I am now running the iOS 10.2 Public Beta 3 on both devices.

@erictbar That's how it's designed... basically your reading percentages are only updated each time your profile is reloaded. It only reloads the profile from the server when it reloads the menu screen.

I can add in something where it reloads in the profile each time the app is opened (I think, although that depends on the resume state).

The app seems to log me out about once a week. I don't know if thats a bug or a feature, but none of my other apps with the exception of banking apps require me to log back in that often.

Currently running iOS 10.2.1 Public Beta 1.

Sam Pinansky

@erictbar Yeah, that's the current TTL for the login token...

I could probably extend it longer to like 3 months.

I'd like it to have a simple notice saying you've already completed this part, as well as a notification telling me when new parts are avalible

Sam Pinansky

@Ztshp App Notification support is on my "want to do" list, definitely!

The open beta just ended for me and I'm back in the regular app. Definitely miss the pagination. When is the update launching?

Sam Pinansky

@Jyuichi Oh, there was an end date?

I really need to just release it... I'll try and get to it tomorrow.

@Sam-Pinansky Sorry to bother, just Wondering if the update is coming soon.

I really miss all the features from the beta.

Sam Pinansky

The new version is now available on the App Store!

Android should be available in a few hours, I pushed the update to production.

@Sam-Pinansky Hehe Nice :smile: Though I have an android and still need to wait :cry:

Demelza

Just downloaded the update on iOS and really pleased with it - good work @Sam-Pinansky. It certainly addresses my major complaint of not being able to tell at a glance if I'd read a part or not.

I'm not sure if this has been suggested before or not, but is it possible to implement the option to change pages by tapping the right of the screen rather than through flicking/swiping across? I know it's not a major thing, but it would be quite nice eventually. :)

The splines are now repaginating on Android. 😀

Sam Pinansky

@Demelza The swiping component I'm using is a wrapper on the built in swiper, but it should be possible to add in extra touch input event triggers...

Ztshp

I'm happy about the progress bar but the one page at a time scrolling system takes some getting used to

Sam Pinansky

@Ztshp Doing it that way prevents the out of memory crashes though. It doesn't have to store the entire chapter in memory, see.
