Version 4.3 sent to AppStore (small improvements)

petrjahoda · 08-13-2026, 10:52 AM

■ New features
- CarPlay. justRead now shows up in your car. Audiobooks play there, and so do books prepared for Background listening, with covers, reading progress and a speed button on the car screen.
- Lock Book. Any book can ask for Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode before it opens. The switch is in Edit Book, and it applies only on that device.
- Recently Deleted. Deleted books now wait 30 days before they are gone for good. Restore one and its reading position, highlights, bookmarks and cover come back exactly as they were.
- PDFs caught up. Read Aloud now works in PDFs, with the same voices and controls as everywhere else, and the contents sheet gained a Pages tab with a thumbnail of every page.
- Search Online. Edit Book can now fetch a missing cover, description and details from Open Library and Google Books.
- Continue Reading everywhere. You can ask Siri to open a book or pick up where you left off, and a new Continue Reading control for Control Center and the Lock Screen jumps straight back into your current book.
- Daily Pages Goal. Set how many pages a day you want to read, next to the reading time goal.
- Daily Reminder and Streak Alert. A reading reminder at the time you choose, and an evening notification when today would break your streak. Both are optional and live in Settings.

■ Improvements
- One goal card. The four goal sections on Home merged into a single card, so time, pages, streak and your yearly books goal share one place.
- Haptic Feedback. The small vibrations on taps now have a switch in Settings, in case you want them gone.

■ Localization
- All the new text is natively translated across all 18 supported languages.

Just a quick information.

Version 4.3 was pushed to AppStore last Thursday. Usually it takes between 0-48 hours (in 90% of cases between 0-24 hours) for the app to be reviewed.
But today is Monday and the app is still in 'Waiting for Review' mode, even with me asking for Expedited Review.
Because I did some bug fixes in between (japanese books, german translations, etc.), I updated that Thursday version with new one and resubmitted again.

I am not able to tell, why it takes so long at Apples side now and when this version will be reviewed and available in AppStore.
