Hi everyone, we've just released a big app update with many quality of life improvements, bug fixes, and some new features. These are all available on web as well. Please make sure your apps are updated to the latest version, 1.1.1, to see these changes! As a reminder, you can check out what we're working on and what's coming up next via the public roadmap (in the footer on web, in the more menu on the app)

Here's a list of updates:

• New Main Quest badge tiers, now viewable on the app
• ability to pin comments to your own posts, lists, and activity
• improved search on app: UI enhancements to make searching for things that are not books easier, removed the auto-populated most searched books from the search widget
• ability to track your progress in Time for audiobooks (HH:MM)
• progress bar / breakdown by status added to Plan
• estimated page count added to book page
• you can enlarge a book cover on the book screen by tapping the book cover
• rereading button (when you go to track a reread, the button says re-reading instead of reading)
• sort reviews by star rating
• filter options on Book Journey
• new search, filter, and sort options on Browse All Lists and Browse All Quests screens
• see more info about your followers and users you follow in the following/followers modals
• changed the button on the home feed "currently reading" books from "post in forum" to "go to forum" for easier access to the forum + encouraging folks to check existing posts!

We're working on monthly wrapups, reading streaks, and some prep for more stats next! We will also be making some additional enhancements to Quests (like: a book recommendations section similar to the Community Recs on book pages, stats for how many users earned each badge tier, and a feed tab like the new feed tab on book pages)

Thanks everyone and happy reading, Jennifer + Lucy

If you haven't seen our Giveaways page yet, you can find it on Discover Books. We're so happy to have a very diverse collection of genres, multiple formats, and options for international readers as well (this is entirely thanks to the authors & publishers who are working with us since they determine these details)!

There are 4 new book giveaways that have been added for Feb (and 2 more to come later this month). 14 giveaways that launched in Jan are still open to entries too! Good luck to everyone entering 💕
