What's new in Must Read 3.5.3

Your reading time, on the right book

Books come in editions. You might start a paperback, then swap to the hardback you actually own, and Must Read has always let you do that without losing your progress, your rating or your history.

What it did not do was tell the running timer. If you changed edition while a session was still going, that session could be filed against the edition you had just left. It looked right on screen, so there was nothing to notice.

The timer now asks which book you are reading at the moment it saves, rather than remembering what you told it when you pressed start. Swap mid-session and the time lands where it belongs.

Sessions that stayed behind

In rare cases a finished session could stay on your phone instead of reaching your library, while the app went on showing the time as recorded. If you read on one device and checked your statistics on another, the numbers could quietly disagree.

That path is closed. A session is only ever marked as filed once it has genuinely arrived.

Search that doesn't mind accents

Searching inside a genre, or on an author's page, used to take accents literally. Type cafe and Cafe would come back while Café stayed hidden, which is a strange thing to ask of anyone typing quickly on a phone.

Both now read accents the way the main search already did. Type it the easy way and you will still find the book.
