(New) App Feedback

I don't have exact details, but one thing I have noticed is my battery drains a lot faster with the new app right now.

I was able to read all chapters from beginning to latest of By the Grace of God last week on the old app, but just reading the Instant Death Vol. 1 yesterday and 2 other chapters my battery is significantly reduced.

I know its still in beta, but figured I would mention it here.

@Thetwixt 410 means your session as expired, please go to Account page and press the logout button

I am in the process of figuring out a way to deal with this

I tried looking at the app when I was at the supermarket waiting and it came up with a: DioError [DioErrorType.Response]: Http Status error 410. I have a razer2 phone.

I see someone else posted about it, and if I hit the login button it does work, but that's not really obvious from the error message. Maybe as a stopgap, the error message can read something about logging in to continue.

On the android version, the text placed as exponent overlaps with the text which should be below it.

Oh my gosh... Where has this app BEEN! The old app was terrible so I gave up on it entirely and for the longest time I would just pull up new chapters on a Google Tab on my phone. This is so, so SO much better! Plus you can mark favorite so it'll track new sections! That was a feature I was begging for awhile back! This is GREAT! Thanks guys!

So in reference to the superscript, on android I've seen it showing correctly and incorrectly. Don't know what determines when it displays one way or the other.

Here's a good example just one paragraph apart.
Dungeon Busters

@Raitoiro @Khaos When you see things like that, could you please add which part that is?

Khaos

@chocolatkey Dungeon Busters: Volume 01 Part 06 10%

For the screenshot I posted...but there are multiple instances throughout this Part that displays the superscript incorrectly.

Raitoiro

@chocolatkey The screenshot was from "A Wild Last Boss Appeared!" volume 3 part 6 at around 29%, and in case it's useful the font is "Arbutus Slab" size 160% with 1.3 line spacing and Justify.

The follow feature is great, but it can mean I miss new series. It would be great if I could set it to auto follow new light novel series. I can subsequently unfollow them if they are not my cup of tea.

chocolatkey

@Shiny I understand the issue, and we plan on adding a sort of badge to get your attention if new series are released later down the line. Auto-following of new series is most likely not going to be implemented anytime soon, because it would require some background tasks that would complicate things. I've taken note, but it's at the bottom of the priority list

An attention-grabbing badge would be great. Basically all I want is something so that I don't miss a series because I'm focussing on followed series. It could alternatively be through a notification system which also notified me of e-book releases for series I follow.

Version 0.3.0+6 should now be available on both iOS and Android. Fixes include:

Manga image quality selection works: Auto is based on your connection (wifi or mobile data) and screen size
Separate orientation settings for novels and manga
Better default tap regions: Adjustable setting coming soon (for margins too)
Ability to disable animations in reader @Atars
Lists in novels didn't have proper formatting
Download volume EPUBs (from browser): Long press on volume in library or use the download button on the volume's page
(iOS) Dismissing the keyboard on the sign in screen is easier
Sessions last 6 weeks instead of 2: There was supposed to be better handling of expired sessions this build, it seems the fix does not work, I fixed said fix and it will be included in the next build

Nosgoroth

This is totally #firstworldproblems, but could you add the JNC web domain as an associated domain to the app on iOS? I think this will make the keyboard automatically offer the saved user/pass as a one-tap action.

chocolatkey

@Nosgoroth Sure

Khaos

@chocolatkey do you still want instances of incorrect superscripts?

chocolatkey

@Khaos Nope, I'm aware of what the issue is and it will be fixed next build. Thanks for pointing them out

I like the way this app lets me read the next part in a series very easily without having to go back and select the next part. Finally gave me the motivation to get started on reading the campfire cooking series since it's on catchup.
