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.
-
Seems the app is tracking my progress with light novel chapters (ones I've newly read, the records have not come through yet) but manga chapters do not display any newly made reading progress, whether partially or completely read.

Part releases aren't currently properly hyperlinked on the home page. They're only given the class "link" but are missing the href target. This is happening to me on desktop firefox. Meanwhile in the calendar the whole thing only links to the series page.
Previous behaviour had the title of the release link to the series page and the "part #" linked directly to the part (when released).
It's minor, but it's a downgrade in usability to me.E: same behaviour on mobile firefox (android).

On a Pixel 6A and probably on some other devices, the first line of text on each page is partly covered by the phone's front camera and cannot be scrolled vertically. I can see the letters behind the camera if I slide the page right or left as if I were turning the page, so it's a minor annoyance, it just feels clunky.
Edit: It got fixed, or fixed itself, in the last hour. I can't repro anymore.

You should be able to increase the vertical margins to move the text below the camera.
