## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-08-21

Track your reading

A new Today tab shows the day's text and lets you mark it as read. See your current streak, your longest one, and the next milestone you're working toward. A seven-day strip and a month calendar show the days behind you — tap any day to correct one you forgot.

Not for you? Turn off "Track my reading" in Settings and the tab goes away.

Widgets and Settings now have tabs of their own. 

Fixed: Open in JW Library always opened the English daily text, whatever language your edition was in. It now opens in your own language automatically, with nothing to set up and no need to load your edition again. A new JW Library setting lets you choose a different language if you read JW Library in one language and DailyGlance in another.

Fixed: Leaving the app open overnight could leave it showing yesterday's text, now it refreashes as expected.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-03

Assisted Download and Setup
Choose your language and tap once — DailyGlance fetches the required EPUB from and sets it up for you. Importing an EPUB by hand still works exactly as before.

Try & Explore without loading an EPUB file.
Browse every widget style with sample content before importing anything.

A warmer look
The welcome screen and widgets share a new palette.

Fixes
• Widgets now roll over to the new day correctly after midnight
• Scripture references written inline in parentheses are picked up
• Real progress while importing, instead of an indeterminate spinner

### 1.1 — 2026-04-15
