@RobD this is actually the issue with this feature. The easier it is, the higher the number of "corrections" we get which are just completely wrong and we have to ignore.
-
@admin I see. Well you could probably use a white-list to authorize only people you trust with this feature but I guess it's not worth the trouble.

@T-Fontana said in (New) App Feedback:
The “Retry” button after a failed connection does not appear to be working.
To reproduce:
- Turn Wi-Fi off
- Open the J-Novel Club app. The “failed loading” page with the “Retry” button will appear. (As expected)
- Turn Wi-Fi back on and connect to a network that can connect to J-Novel Club.
- Return to the J-Novel Club app and press the “Retry” button. The display is unchanged after pressing the “Retry” button. The J-Novel Club app won’t work until it is quit and reopened (see https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/quit-and-reopen-an-app-ipad79518d15/ipados)
I am using version 2.0.1 of the app on an iPad.
I noticed that the recent app update fixes this. Thank you.

We've released a version 3.1.0 of the app with the following changelog:
- Fix reliability of in-app purchases
- Improve reader UI integration with system navigation & status bars
- Adjust design of "Profile" account tab
- Performance improvements and bugfixes
@sakakawea regarding the spread/single page toggle button issue, that's something we'll fix in the next release.
Overall, we're getting close to the completion of our backend overhaul, which will allow us to develop new features more quickly that have been held up for a long time. A lot of the work behind the app not included in the changelog revolves around preparation for that

I just upgraded to 3.1.0 on my Boox Page, and now when reading LN prepubs every page turn with the side button is turning 2 pages instead of 1. I tried changing some settings but couldn't find any solutions so will have to go back to the old version for now.
Edit: This is apparently only when page animations are turned off, but that feature is a must on an e reader.
-
I have a Samsung Galaxy A32 5G, Android 13.
Since the 3.1.0 update, I can see the recent list, and I can read a part, and I can go into the series section and read parts.
But then after I close the app, and go back in, I just get a blue page with the JNovel club logo. I have to force close the app, after which it works again until the next time I close it.
-
@chocolatkey so I have question why was the original publisher for removed from the app because I liked knowing which Japanese companies originally published the books I read
-
Feature Request for the app: I'd like to be able to filter between novels, manga, or both on the Releases tab, with it being sticky between uses just like the follows filter is.
-
@Elijah203223 The original publisher was removed because the decision was made to remove the original publisher data in our upcoming database change. Therefore, we'll no longer have anything to put there, so I removed it in advance.
@ulysses We may have found the issue causing this, it will be adjusted in an upcoming minor release
@Lake would it be possible for you to take a screen recording? Also, I do not have a Boox Page or access to one, do you know what keyboard key the button is emulating? That would be very helpful to pinpoint the issue

I've uploaded a screen recording with the first being the double page turn with animations off, and then single page turns with animation on (the page animations look much worse in person). From my limited testing it is occurring every turn regardless of font and font size. Both were working fine as a single page turn in the previous version.
The button is set to Page-turn, but I'm not sure what key that goes too. The other options like Volume have never worked for me.
-
@chocolatkey may I ask why that decision was made?
-
@Lake OK, could you please go to https://keyjs.dev/ , make sure you're focused on the text box, and then try pressing the buttons? If it properly displays something like "ArrowLeft", please take a screenshot.

Looks to be Page Down, but I'm not sure whether this is different between apps

Sam elaborated about that on reddit

-
@GeorgeMTO yes and I responded and said thank you for clarifying why it was removed
-
@Lake Thanks, that helps. We do handle certain keyboard keys as a kind of bonus hidden feature in the app, but it typically is not tested before a new release, so there's probably a bug. I'll look into it
Edit: we may have a fix for this in the next version
-
Version 3.1.1 of the app is live, with the following changes:
- Fix app startup/hanging issues
- Truncate text of part release titles with ellipses
- Fix arrow key navigation in reader
@Lake let me know if the button navigation is fixed

It looks to be working well, thanks!

Hello, does the app not track reading process anymore? I logged in today only to discover that all the read chapters in my follow feed are marked unread, and the two chapters I read today remained unread as well!

That's coming, it's just late. They posted elsewhere that there's 15 million records to transfer from the old site to the new one for last read pointers, and they're coming back in reverse chronological order over the next couple days.
