Features

Where were you? Season 2, episode 4. Page 212. Minute 1:31 of the podcast. Lesson 14. Where Was I? keeps your exact place in everything you're in the middle of — and one tap moves it forward when you've watched, read or listened a bit more. YOUR EXACT PLACE, COUNTED RIGHT • Shows: season, episode, even the minute you paused • Books: page of total, with a progress bar • Podcasts and audiobooks: episode or chapter, and the timestamp • Courses: lesson 14 of 42 • Movies and videos: the minute you stopped • Games and anything else: a checkpoint in your own words FIND IT, AND THE COUNTS FILL IN Search for a show and its seasons, episode counts and episode names come with it. Search for a book and you get the author and page count. Only what you type is sent, to look it up — no account, nothing about you. ONE TAP TO THE NEXT ONE Tap Next and it's episode 5 — or season 3, episode 1, when the season is over. Tap +10 and you're on page 222. Tapped by mistake? Undo. REMEMBER WHAT WAS HAPPENING Leave yourself a line — who, where, what was about to happen — so coming back after two weeks doesn't mean starting over. BRING YOUR BOOKS, ASK SIRI Import your Goodreads library export in a minute. Ask Siri "Where was I?" or move to the next episode hands-free. UP NEXT AND YOUR SHELF Queue what you'll start next. When you finish something, rate it and put it on your shelf.
