New version 1.3 → 1.5

Your reading progress now makes it into the car, and Apple Watch finally controls your headphone volume. • Pick up listening where you stopped reading: read the e-book on your iPad in the evening, and the next morning your audiobook knows where you left off – CarPlay starts right at the passage you read, with no prompt and no detour via the screen. Previously playback started from the old listening position there, and a reading position could only be carried over on the device itself. So that a late look-up in the book doesn't quietly rewind your listening position, the app never jumps back more than ten minutes. • Apple Watch: control headphone volume directly. Swipe up one page in the player and turn the Digital Crown – that changes your AirPods' volume, not just the in-app level. Until now the app's control could only make playback quieter, never louder than the system volume. • A heads-up instead of a dead end: the camera text search and the jumps between text and audio need your audiobook's speech analysis. If it's missing, the app now tells you up front – instead of letting you take a photo and then finding nothing – and offers to start the analysis right away. Newly added books point this out once.
