What's New in Fanficly

1.7.0

July 10, 2026

What's new in 1.7.0 • Show images in stories — a new opt-in reader setting renders authors' embedded artwork inline, in every reading mode. Off by default; the classic text-only reader is unchanged, and downloaded works stay text-only offline. • Fewer network timeouts — requests to AO3 are spaced out correctly and transient hiccups are retried, so search, browse, and story loading are far more reliable. • Finishing a story now counts — reading to the last line reaches 100%, earns the Finished badge, and shows up in your Stats. Reading time is no longer over-counted while a story sits open beneath other screens. • Safer iCloud sync — backups from different devices now merge instead of overwriting each other, restoring can no longer discard downloaded chapters, and reading-time totals stay consistent across devices. • Deleted reader profiles stay deleted — removing a typography profile no longer resurrects it through iCloud sync. • Widget fix — tapping the last-read widget can no longer rewind your saved reading position to an older spot. • Subscriptions & follows — all your AO3 subscriptions sync (not just the first page), a signed-out session can no longer clear them, author follows are checked reliably in background refresh, and notification permission is requested the moment you first follow a work or author. • Popular tab — ships and characters are now ranked from live AO3 data again. • Search fixes — typed tags no longer autocorrect to more popular lookalike tags, a crash on some international characters is fixed, and a temporary network error no longer sticks to a tag until relaunch. • Page-by-page fix — paragraphs can no longer get cut off with "…" when reading page-by-page with the controls hidden (most visible on Mac). Everything still runs on your device — no ads, no tracking, no account required.
