SPATIAL PHOTOS Every picture in all 50 books is now a spatial photo. Tilt your phone or tablet and the foreground moves against the background; rest it flat on a table and the page drifts gently on its own. BOTH LANGUAGES, THE SAME SIZE The second reading language was set smaller than the first and read like a footnote. It is usually the language you are here to learn, so both lines are now the same size. YOUR LANGUAGE IS REMEMBERED The app reset to your device's language at every launch and forgot what you had chosen. It now keeps your choice — and picking a language on the home screen also sets the top reading line, which is what the picker looked like it promised. SMOOTHER READ-ALONGS The word highlight keeps pace with the narration on slower devices, and zhuyin no longer nudges the line it sits above.
