Audiobound – Audiobook-Player

This update brings Audiobound to Apple Watch and CarPlay — and makes playback and sync more reliable across all your devices. • Apple Watch app: browse your library and control iPhone playback • Apple Watch complications: a progress ring and your current audiobook at a glance • Apple Watch: redesigned start screen with Now Playing, Continue Listening, and Library in clear sections — each book shown only once • Apple Watch: "Syncing Library" on first launch, plus a clear prompt when a book hasn't synced to your iPhone yet • Apple Watch: larger, easier-to-tap controls; cover art no longer reloads when opening Now Playing • Apple Watch: controls stay reliable even when the iPhone is in the background, and progress no longer jumps backward • CarPlay: Home and Library tabs with chapter controls • CarPlay: Now Playing shows the cover art, with an "X/Y" chapter indicator you can tap to open the chapter list and jump • CarPlay: a branded placeholder for missing covers and sharper cover art in lists • Gapless chapter playback now reliably starts at the correct chapter • Starting from the lock screen, Control Center, or headphones reliably saves your position and listening time — and updates the Watch • Calls and Siri now pause cleanly, with no falsely counted listening time • Playback position no longer jumps back after skipping or changing chapters • Resume position and progress stay consistent across all your devices • Continue Listening reflects where you actually are in a book — a brief tap no longer adds it, and removing one keeps it out and stops the current book • More accurate listening-time, completion, and average-session stats • Time labels (elapsed/remaining and chapter) now tick in unison • The audiobook view's play button now shows "Pause" while that book is playing • Sleep timer fades the audio out smoothly • Fixed duplicate audiobooks from iCloud sync that appeared twice or couldn't be removed • Smoother, lighter playback with less background work • Refined design: a warmer background, rotating cover art in the Mini Player, and more on the Home screen • Now built on native MusicKit APIs for better platform support
