1.1 came out on October 31 without a post. It made Reader a full document reader: your page and the minutes left, a way back after every jump, Listen with the screen off, footnotes, real tables, and Word files. Everything is in the changelog.
1.2 is mostly about the two screens you use between reads.
Following
- Your sites sit in a row with their icons, and each one has its own page. Posts are grouped by day.
- 125 suggested sites, sorted by topic, region and language. Every feed was tested before it went in.
- Mark a site as quiet and it stays out of New, Home and notifications.
- Bring your sites from another reader as an OPML file, or export them.
Library
- Shelves sort themselves as you read: Reading, Not started, Finished. Your collections sit next to them.
- Long-press to select several pieces, then move, tag or delete them. Deleting a batch is one Undo.
Reading
- PDFs open in Tether's own viewer. Scrolling no longer stops at random, and you can zoom up to 5×.
- Web articles show who wrote them, and the site's name opens the original page.
- Articles from Wikipedia, BBC and NPR come out cleaner.
Everything else
- Tether speaks Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese.
- The welcome is three short steps.
- Settings has a changelog, and feedback can include a screenshot.
- On Android 12 to 14 the status bar was grey. It isn't anymore. Thanks to rei for the report.
If something breaks, the feedback form in the app is the quickest way to tell me.
A look around 1.2.
