      I’m not entirely sure if someone else has mentioned it, but I think it would be kinda nice to have more options on the filter option when viewing series. Like only viewing Light Novels, similar to the beta version of the website. I’m on iOS on an iPad Pro if that helps.

      While we need to move forward as time passes, we must never forget what has transpired in the past or it shall be repeated.

        @Kamechan88 As jdmmis said, the green and blue are your progress; green means you've completely read the part, blue means you've partially read it. As for pictures, you can use a free image host like Imgur or Gyazo, then use the URL to post a picture. If you look at the post options, there should be a "Picture" button that will prompt you to paste a URL and take care of the forum code for you.

        @Laurion96 Right now, the light novel/manga filter is in the magnifying glass. Tap that and the option to only show one or the other appears.

        Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.

          I would also like to put out my opinion that I'd rather have the manga-only and novel-only buttons in the filter button rather than the search button.

          Also, epub download on my iPhone 8 used to work by pulling up an in-app Safari browser, and I could import it to iBooks. I liked that. Now, however, the button doesn't do anything when pushed. Don't know if that's on my end or not.

            Random comments.

            • Epub download button appears and is active for volume preorders too. Obviously it just opens a browser to a 404 page.
            • When opening a volume by long-pressing on a part in the releases tab, updating read status and going back to the releases tab, the status isn't shown updated and requires a pull-to-refresh to re-render.
            • By the way, I'd prefer the long press on a part to trigger a list of actions to choose from, consistent for all screens. Maybe it'd also make sense to swipe right on a part to mark as read and left to mark as unread? Dunno.
            • Repeating this one because it annoys me so much: when doing some inertial scrolling and tapping the screen to stop the scroll, the tap triggers toggling the interface. No other app does this. At least now that the interface floats on top of the text it doesn't move it, but it's still pretty annoying. I'll be switching to pages when that's ready, though, so expect me to be fussy about that too.
            • I don't know if this is covered by the "landscape support lacking" line, but just in case: when changing orientation from portrait to landscape or viceversa, it moves where you are on the part. This depends on how far into the part you are. At 0% it doesn't do anything, at 100% it's a lot. I guess this depends on the difference of how much text the screen can fit in each orientation.
            • Support for the iOS mostly-standard action of sliding from the left edge to navigate back would be great. I keep doing it on autopilot and nothing happens.
            • My session expired and the app noticed and told me! Nice.

            Still does that for me. iPhone XS Max on iOS 14.3

              @Nosgoroth Hmm, I'm still on 14.2, so let me update and see if that did anything.

              Edit: Just updated iOS to 14.3 and that seemed to fix it. Interesting.

                  As of today it crashes when I try to log in. It was working fine until I timed out and had to do the periodic log in.
                  Pixel 4xl with Android 11

                  I will try side loading the app when I get the chance.

                    I see the same thing as of today when I got logged out. The tap to crash was annoying, but now the app is just unusable.
                    Any updates on 5.0.1 appearing in the play store? I cannot side load apps.

                      @bfennema unfortunately Google rejected our 0.5.1 update for the usual "copyrighted content" reason, even though the crash fix is the only change. When I have more updates to push, I'll submit another version

                        I haven't had a chance to sideload yet. Finally got time to log in on the computer to read some of last weeks updates.
                        I'll try to get to it shortly to make sure it fixes it.

                          Just installed it. It definitely fixed the log in problem on android 11. Thanks.

                            @chocolatkey What a bummer. Having to use the old app is painful after using the new one.

                              On the beta app, this part (part 3) and only part 3 shows up as expired. As such it's not readable on the app, though it does seem to work on the website oddly enough, even though it says it expired 2 months ago. Not a huge deal, just thought to bring it up

                                @Kilocron in the new app, the soft expiration date is enforced (which will become the norm), unlike on the website. This date is obviously a mistake, and has been fixed

                                  I just launched the new beta app on my phone to check for any new releases and my user login timeout. I'm on an iPhone 11 Pro with the latest iOS. I noticed when I wasn't logged in it was showing that I was in the middle of reading or have completed a few chapters. The weird part was I hadn't read those LN at all and especially on the app. I logged back in and it still showed it. I went to the individual book and check there, but it didn't show any progress like it should. I then launched the chapter and it started me at the beginning no matter if I was in the middle or had supposedly completed the chapter for the chapters in question. Once I went back it showed no progress.

                                  Note: Its not just those 2 chapters, but they are what I was using for this post.

                                    In addition to "Catch-up titles" it'd be cool if there were an "Expiring titles" tab (unless there is one and I missed it).

                                      @Terrence by tab you mean a filter for the series listing? I'm not quite sure what would qualify as expiring if everything in prepub is technically expiring soon

                                        Yeah, the filter series area would be a good spot to add expiring volumes if possible (just a list of titles that will expire the 15th of the current month if possible, or next month if it's passed the 16th).

                                          When I went to the Library section to download Dungeon Busters to read the bonus stories I noticed a few areas of issue/waste of time. When clicking on a title from the Library it opens up the volume, but has the info part up when it doesn't do that when you visit the volume page regularly. Once I figured out I had to click the download button on the volume page to get the epub it was fine, but couldn't clicking the title in the Library just auto take you to the epub download page instead if available? I think that would be better.
