How long a book has left

Every book you time now tells you how much reading is left in it: โ‰ˆ 3h 20m left. The estimate comes from your own pace with that book, not an average across everyone, because a thriller and a history of the Roman Empire don't read at the same speed.

You'll see it on the book's page, when you pick what to read, in your Library and in your lists. Lists now show each book's progress bar too, just like your Library. A book you haven't timed yet shows no estimate rather than a guess.

New

Your reading minutes, day by day

The Streak card in Statistics now shows how many minutes you read on each of the last 30 days, with your daily average. Tap a day, or drag across the chart, to see that day's minutes and pages.

Under the chart, your last 7 days sit next to the month, so you can see whether this week is a good one.

New

Print, ebook or audiobook

Many of us read the same week in three ways: a paperback at home, a Kindle on the train, an audiobook on a walk. Each book's page now has My format, where you pick Physical, Ebook or Audiobook. Until you choose, the book takes the format of its edition.

Audiobooks show how much you've listened instead of pages, and Statistics splits your month by format.

Improved

Pages per day that make sense

Add a book you're already halfway through and update it to page 200, and it used to count as 200 pages read that day. Now the first update on a book you'd already started asks whether you were already on that page, so your pages per day stay true.

Update progress also lets you add how long you read, for the time the timer didn't catch.

Improved

A quiet start on Apple Watch

If you read in bed next to someone who's asleep, you can now turn off the sound when a session starts or stops, in the app's Settings under Apple Watch. watchOS ties the tap on your wrist to the sound, so the tap goes too.

Improved

Swipe through your Reading calendar

Open a day in your Reading calendar and swipe to the next or previous day you read. Days without reading are skipped.

And everything else

Long notes, steady

Long notes and reviews no longer jump or lose their ending while you type.

Sign in with Apple

It no longer fails after you've approved it.

The right prices

The Pro screen shows your prices after a lost connection, and its buttons work again.

Usernames

Choosing a username now tells you when it's already taken.

iPad keyboards

The app no longer closes on iPad when you type a number with some keyboards.

Imports

Every book starts ticked on the review screen, and the summary tells you when two rows in your file were the same book.

Lock Screen

Resuming a session after its goal has passed shows it on your Lock Screen again.

Adding a book by hand

A title that's too long now tells you why it can't be saved, instead of closing without a word.
