From the outside, nothing has changed. But it was the hardest release of all time. Our user @CatCitadel informed us that when listening in the background for more than two hours, the app would arbitrarily close (not even crash) and lose all reading progress. We were shocked. Spent over two weeks finding the problem and another week fixing and testing. We still don't know exactly what the problem was and what exactly fixed it, but it's gone now and Dear @CatCitadel confirmed it. You're welcome to listen!
