      @erictbar actually it's still paginated they are just arranged vertically.
      It's possible to have the scrolling not stop on the page breaks but that wouldn't change the underlying issue with the tts system reading one page at a time because they are all in different Views.

        @erictbar Also, I've analyzed your crash file: Crash is due to a bug present in React Native versions 0.31-0.35 (our app uses 0.34).
        Upgrading to 0.37 should fix it... Hopefully it doesn't break anything else in the process.

          I'd love to have a spot for testing the new version too.
          I have multiple devices with different iOS versions to test it if you need.

            yes please! Having to readjust the text size every session is the main usability I have right now (especially since doing so relocates you in the text)

                  @theMario3721 It's actually same with iOS, just that I'm doing beta testing on iOS first. So I'll release both iOS and Android v. 1.1 pretty much together. Android might even be first if their review time is shorter.

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

                      Steps to reproduce:

                      1. Read Part 2 of Mixed Bathing up to 77% on iPhone 7 and close the book.
                      2. Switch to iPad Air 2 and read until the end.
                      3. Exit book on iPad
                      4. The percent noted next to the book stays at 77%
                      5. 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.

                            @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

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

                                    @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.

                                      Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

                                        The new version is now available on the App Store!

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

                                            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. :)
