-Pages can now be rotated in 90º increments, so you no longer have to bend your neck to read pages that were printed in a different orientation. Just use the standard 2-finger twist while viewing 1 page at a time. -Now you can 2-finger double-tap to toggle between 1 and 2 pages at once for the current orientation. This is much easier than having to visit prefs.

•Fixed Progress sort order so most-read are above least-read. •When using Open Next Unread Comic, prioritize in-progress comics ahead of unread comics. •Fixed issue that looked like the app was hung on launch while restoring the comic the user was reading.

Gave the restore comic priority by forcing it to be done first. •Moved files that track comic settings and progress from Caches to Application Support. •Double-tap zooming in now zooms into the tapped location. •Tweaked Settings header row heights. •Added a bit of clarity to tips. •Reveal 2 areas at the sides approximately where page-change taps occur while showing tip about changing pages. •Comic pages change more smoothly when rotating orientation.
