v1.12.1-304

Beta 5

Windows

  • New - Absorb for Windows: an installer is attached to each release from now on. Sign in, play, download, read and transcribe like on the phone. Needs Windows 10 or newer
    • It's new, so as always let me know about bugs you find, and about areas that don't feel very desktop yet
    • The installer isn't signed yet, so Windows will warn before it runs

Audio (Android)

  • Improved - The loudness slider levels quiet books automatically instead of adding a fixed boost
  • Improved - The equalizer and bass boost run inside the player on Android, so they work on every phone
  • New - A pitch slider in the equalizer, to make the narrator sound lower or higher
  • New - Play with other audio, in Playback settings, keeps Absorb playing when another app starts its own audio. Calls still pause it

Settings

  • New - Each library can have its own default speed, under Library next to the custom skip amounts
  • New - Audible ratings on book details can be turned off, under Library
  • Improved - Tapping a genre or tag on a book found through search opens the library with that filter on

Progress and sync

  • Fix - Marking a book finished while offline now syncs once you're back online
  • Fix - The queue downloads the next book even if you deleted an earlier download of it by hand
  • Fix - A crash when a downloaded book finished while the server was unreachable
  • Improved - One missed server ping no longer switches the app to offline; it checks again first
  • Improved - Progress syncs every 60 seconds on cellular so the modem can sleep between pushes

Read along

  • New - Play from here on a highlight in a narrated book, from the reader and from the Highlights tab

BookOrbit

  • New - Forgot password on the sign-in screen
  • New - Admins can see a user's reading activity
