Releases: AndrewBennet/ReadingListV1
v1.16.0
This update adds iCloud Backup functionality: if logged in to iCloud, the app will automatically back up your data to iCloud, allowing you to restore your data if you lose or replace your device. You can view your backups, or change or disable the automatic backup frequency, in Settings > Backup & Restore.
v1.14.2
This update includes improvements and bug fixes:
• Addresses an issue which could cause widgets to not appear or to not update when updating books
• Fixes an issue whereby tapping on the small widget would not open the app at the correct destination
• Improves the appearance of the small widget when viewed on smaller screens
• Fixes an issue which could cause the app to crash when editing book details on iPad
v1.14.0
Reading List v1.14.0
iOS 14 Support
- New iOS 14 home screen widgets. These show your currently reading or next to-read books, or your most recently finished books. Tap to quickly jump to a book. If reading progress has been provided, tap on the progress indicator to jump to the progress editor.
- Various iOS 14 UI adjustments, including the new datepickers and button menus
- A few bug and crash fixes
v1.13.0
Reading List v1.13.0
Scan Multiple Barcodes
If you have a stack of books you want to add to the app quickly, this is now easier with bulk barcode scanning. Tap "Scan Many" on the barcode scanner screen, and then just point the camera at each barcode one by one.
CSV Import Improvements
I've had a lot of emails asking for help with the CSV import format. This update includes some information which will hopefully make this process easier to understand: in the CSV Import screen, tap Format Details and then tap See Columns to see a list of all columns which are supported, and additional information about specific format requirements of the data in those columns.
CSV Import from Goodreads
The app now supports importing from the CSV format obtained from Goodreads. So, if any users wish to migrate from Goodreads to Reading List, this is now easier. Just specify the Goodreads import format, export a CSV file from Goodreads (for instructions, tap Format Details in the app), and load it into Reading List. Unfortunately, for technical reasons the app is unable to download book cover images. Additionally, the Goodreads export doesn't include all the started/finished dates, so you may find that the imported dates might need some finessing after the import.
CSV Import options
Following on with the CSV Import theme: the app now provides more import options. You can specify whether missing metadata and/or book cover images should be searched for at the point of import, and whether existing books should be overwritten or not.
Smaller improvements
- A new launch screen and "What's New" display to introduce new features and explain the app a little to new users
- Adds the ability to supplement a manually-added book with online metadata, if the book has an ISBN, from the Edit screen
- The cancel confirmation prompt is no longer shown when dismissing the Add Manually screen if no data has been added (thanks to @bryanjclark for this addition!)
- Auto-selection of the page count field when editing a book's reading log, for quick page updating (thanks to @bryanjclark for this addition as well!)
- Smoother animations on the book table when filtering your books by searching
- Lots of under-the-hood updates which will help make Reading List run faster and smoother
- A few minor bug and crash fixes

New Features

Custom Lists. You can now create your own lists and add whichever books you want to it. "Favourites", "Wish List", "Borrowed from the Library" - whatever you need. Add the lists from the book details page (or from the To Read / Finished pages); view the lists from the new Organise tab.

Reworked book details page. The book details page has had a little re-layout, to make it look nicer. On iPads, the extra space is used more effectively.

- New "Find on Amazon" option available when tapping the Share/Action button on the book details screen. This takes you to a book search on your local Amazon site. Disclaimer: if you buy any books from these links, Amazon will give me a few pennies!
