Fixed
Star Ratings Stick
Fixed an issue where star ratings could disappear after saving — your ratings are now preserved reliably.
Theme Persistence
Your selected theme now stays put across sessions and devices. No more surprise resets after logging in!
Author Creation Fixed
Adding a brand-new author during book entry no longer silently fails — the author is created and attached correctly.
PR Company Dropdown
The PR company field now uses a proper searchable dropdown instead of a plain text box, matching the rest of the app.
Bookshop.org Links
Fixed thousands of Bookshop.org links that were sending you to a search page instead of the actual book page.
Genre & Format Loading
Resolved a rare issue where genres, formats, and other reference data could fail to load, causing books to show as "Unspecified".
Mobile Add Book Wizard
Fixed a blocker on mobile where the Add Book wizard could get stuck at step 3 because reference data wasn't loading.
Notification Timing
Fixed a timezone bug that caused deadline notifications to arrive one day early for some users. All existing notifications have been corrected.
Android Bottom Bar Overlap
Android
Buttons at the bottom of sheets and modals are no longer hidden behind the Android gesture bar.
