What's New in Isle of Time

1.24

September 29, 2026

Eras, told act by act Each era is now three to five acts. Read a short passage, then the volumes that belong to it. The year band at the top jumps straight to any act. On iPhone, swipe to move between eras; on iPad and Mac, the sidebar lists every act of the current era, and on Mac ⌘⌥↑/↓ steps through them. A redesigned Chronicle Four centuries drawn to scale, with a watercolour seal for each era. Figures, Atlas, Search and Today now share the same type and layout. Haptics on iPhone Moving between eras or turning a special issue's pages, you'll feel the period change: blunt and uneven for the oldest eras, a single crisp tap for the present. You can turn this off in Settings. Also • Smoother scrolling in articles • Front-page covers no longer jump when the mini player appears or hides • Once you've opened a special issue, its front-page entry folds into a single line • Narration no longer reads out the volume number at the start • Following a link into the Atlas no longer hides the volume behind the card
