### 1/5 — 不好用

*2026-09-19*

开了会员之后 手表上下了两三本书就打不开了

**Developer response:** 你好，非常抱歉，这个是运行内存不够的问题，可以先尝试 1.关闭其他手表app或者重新启动手表，不要同时打开过多的App 2.删除一些东西清理手表内存 3.删除App重新下载（会删除已经传输到手表的小说），先不要传输过多的小说。
这个问题在新版本1.0.6已经抓紧修复好了，对较老的手表设备进行了优化，新版本审核上架需要一定时间，还请耐心等待新版本上架更新即可，在此之前请先不要下载过多的小说。你可以通过QQ740168305联系我，我都会尽量解决

### 3/5 — 怎么导入小说之后手表端就进不去软件了一直在闪退

*2026-09-12*

卡顿也很严重，我刚充的会员，快修bug，求你了作者

**Developer response:** 你好，非常抱歉，这个大概率是运行内存的问题，可以先尝试
1.关闭其他手表app或者重新启动手表，不要同时打开过多的App
2.删除一些东西清理手表内存
3.删除App重新下载（会删除已经传输到手表的小说），先不要传输过多的小说
我会在之后的1.0.6版本想办法解决这个问题，目前版本请先不要传输过多的小说。具体问题你可以通过邮箱740168305@qq.com联系我

### 3/5 — 还可以但是有点不足

*2026-09-05*

希望开发者可以在手表端加目录功能，以及添加滑动翻页功能，还有一页内容在手表端显示的太少了，希望优化

**Developer response:** 非常感谢你的反馈，目前新版本已支持手表章节目录跳转。手表显示文本的范围也增大了，同时缩小了每行的默认字间距，手表设置里也支持调整字体大小和间距。目前手表支持数码表冠滑动和屏幕点击两种翻页方式，滑动翻页会和原有的翻页逻辑产生冲突，暂时无法加入，后续会考虑一下具体方案

### 5/5 — 没有广告，很干净，比较方便

*2026-09-03*

确实好用！推荐推荐

### 2/5 — 为啥手表上不能选章节

*2026-08-30*

也不能通过手表的划盘往下划着读

**Developer response:** 你好，新版本已经支持选章节和数码表冠滑动翻页，感谢你的反馈

### 1.0.7 — 2026-09-21

Added automatic page turning on Apple Watch: set your preferred interval and pages turn automatically while you read
Added a "Stop Transfer" button: you can now cancel syncing at any time, with a confirmation prompt; partially transferred data won't be saved

1.Added two library transfer modes, switchable in Settings: Realtime shows live sync progress, while Background is handled by the system and continues even while your watch is locked
2.The table of contents now opens at your current chapter on both iPhone and Apple Watch — no more scrolling from the start in long novels
3.Improved the Apple Watch book list layout — a text-first design that shows more of each title, author, and preview

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-07

1.Quick chapter switching: tap the top-left corner while reading, then use the buttons at the bottom to jump to the previous or next chapter, or open the full table of contents to browse and jump to any chapter
2.The chapter bar stays open for consecutive jumps, and the buttons automatically disable at the first / last chapter
3.Denser reading layout: each page now fits one more line of text at the default 20pt font size, with haptic feedback on every page turn
4.Polished the back button placement on the reading page for easier reach
5.New "Appearance" switcher: Choose the overall look of the app on iPhone Settings — Dark or White.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-02

The crown turning direction was reversed and calibrated so that "upward rotation = next page", consistent with the system scrolling direction.
