Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
Fixes large downloads quitting during verification. To check a download against its PAR2 files, SwiftNZB held the whole thing in memory at once. Past a few gigabytes iOS ran out and closed the app without warning. Verification now works through the files in small pieces, however large the download. A download that stopped this way used to start over every time you opened the app. It now waits under Downloads with everything it had already fetched, so continuing costs no second download. Cancelling during verification also sticks now.

About
SwiftNZB downloads NZB files on your iPhone and iPad. The app is the downloader itself, not a remote control for one running somewhere else. It opens the connections, decodes the articles, verifies with PAR2, extracts the archives and writes the result into the Files app. No home server, no desktop app, nothing that has to stay switched on. What you do need is your own Usenet provider account, the same way a mail app needs a mail account. Providers sell those separately. SwiftNZB ships no content and no search. You hand the app an .nzb file through the share sheet or the file picker, and that is the only way anything gets in. THE DOWNLOAD ENGINE • Many parallel TLS connections to your server, and the app adjusts how many it uses to suit the link • Made for mobile networks. Cell handoffs, dead sockets and the jump between Wi-Fi and cellular cost no progress • Pause, resume, reorder. A download continues at the segment it stopped on, even after you force-quit the app • Optional speed limit and separate rules for cellular • The screen stays awake while a download runs, so it keeps going when you set the device down AFTER THE DOWNLOAD • PAR2 verification and repair, on the device • RAR extraction, multi-volume sets included • Finished files land in the Files app, one folder per download ON iOS • Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, with pause and resume buttons • SwiftUI, built for both iPhone and iPad • Siri and Shortcuts can pause the queue, resume it, or say what is downloading • Server settings sync across your devices over iCloud, passwords stay in the Keychain • No ads, no tracking, no accounts. The app talks to the server you configure and to nothing else WHAT IT COSTS The first 10 downloads are free. After that, adding a new download needs SwiftNZB Pro, which unlocks unlimited downloads: monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Current prices are shown in the app. Anyone who installed SwiftNZB before this version keeps unlimited downloads for good. PRIVACY SwiftNZB collects no data. Your credentials live in the system Keychain. Downloads run through your own provider, with no developer server anywhere in the path. SwiftNZB needs an account with a Usenet provider. Only download what you have the right to access. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://valentinlehmann.github.io/swiftnzb/privacy/
