What’s New 3.0.1
Tapping a book in the dashboard Due Soon card now opens its quick-action popup as a proper centered dialog instead of overlapping the card behind it.

Version 3.0.1 brings 6 customer-facing changes to ARC Library. Role or platform labels appear only where a change is specific to that experience.
Improved
Hide the Background Picture Right From Your Dashboard
Tap Edit layout on your dashboard and you'll now find a simple Background switch next to the transparency slider, flip your theme's illustrated scene on or off without digging through Settings. It's one tap away, and it stays in sync with the setting in Appearance.
One Beautiful Dashboard for Everyone
We've retired the old Classic dashboard layout, every desktop reader now gets the new customizable Reading HQ, with its drag-to-arrange cards, resizable widgets, and the readable Currently Reading and Due Soon cards.
Fixed
Due Soon Quick Actions Open Cleanly
Tapping a book in the dashboard Due Soon card now opens its quick-action popup as a proper centered dialog instead of overlapping the card behind it.
Review & Promo Dates Stay Yours
Marking a book Reviewed or Promoted no longer drops in a date on its own, those dates stay blank until you set them. No more clearing dates you didn't add.
Forms Catalogue Saves Again
Sharing an ARC sign-up form to the Forms Catalogue now saves reliably, including author in-app forms that don't have an external link, and the new form shows up in the catalogue right away, with no page refresh needed. Submissions were silently failing before.
Clearer Draft / Private / Public for Reviews
Setting a review to Draft, Private, or Public is no longer hidden inside a menu. The review editor now shows all three as a simple toggle that's always visible, one tap switches, and the current choice is obvious at a glance.
