The official version through the Play store has been broken for me all day; none of the chapters except the ones I've already read will parse. I thought it was a website issue but BT is up.

Should I upgrade to the beta?

If you are using https on the play store version, try to turn in off, or you can use the latest beta.

Most likely, I'll release it to the play store on this weekend :D

Yeah, I was toggling the HTTPS before I came to ask about the beta and sadly it didnt work :( upgrading to the beta fixed the problems though.

Thanks for all the hard work on the app, very useful at work :lol:

Thanks for the hard work keeping this app up to date and stable.

I got a question: For external links, are they suppose to be blue? Because they never are for me. The only way I know they are external is because they are an arrow pointing right.
I watch it for the plot. No, seriously, I do.

Hello,

after the new update, ver1.1.15, i got problem on checking update. whenever using automatic check update or manual(force check) check update.

after i look at it, it always stop when checking novel Mahouka Kouko Rekittousei, as the check update always stop when checking that novel and giving error==>Invalid int: " "

the problem are solved if i un-watch the novel (Mahouka Kouko Rekittousei).
and i can't check update on Mahouka Kouko Rekittousei either, which giving the same error problem (error==>Invalid int: " ").
well, i am trying to create PDF of novel from baka-tsuki, so if there any suggestion that you want me to create, just tell me,

On the chapter list, should only show the arrow. On other list (e.g.: bookmark), it will show with blue color.

sorry, but how to find the error log?

as i can only find the word (error==>Invalid int: " ") is when i refresh the Mahouka Kouko Rekittousei page (only several second) and when when i put it on watch list and automatic check update on, which show why the check update failed

Found out the cause, It's trying to get the information for the ISBN page, which shouldn't get into (no data).

I'll fix it on the next release.

Every List page takes a minute to load (Novels, Teasers, even the 3 chapters on the Original List), every time, even quickly going back to the front page and then back to the same page. It's consistent and I thought it might have been because my device is several years old and is kind of shit... But nope, on my NEW device, really high end stuff, it's still slow, faster, but still taking 40-50 seconds per list. Going from the lists to the actual chapter lists takes only a fraction of the time. What is happening? Are you loading the entire Novel information database during this period or something?
Hi, me again. New patch fixed the problem. Novel and Teaser lists load fast now. I thank you for your good and excellent work. The thing that is lacking now is the watch list, it's still suffering from long load times. Everything else works perfectly without any problems that I can think of.

The reader doesn't seem to be able to get My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As I Expected Volume 8 Chapter 2 and 3. It's weird because it seems it can get everything else just fine.

Because it didn't follow the standard formatting for the chapter listing, please tell the admin to follow standardized format.

I love the maintenance feature in the new version. Makes clean up of empty chapters much easier. However do you think you could add an ability to lock a chapter or something like that in the maintenance section? That way I can 'lock' certain empty chapter or volume so I can do mass removal of other empty chapters/volume without removing the ones I don't want removed such as Hidan no Aria and other novels that have been since removed from BakaTsuki and thus technically considered as empty chapter/novels?

Right now, I have some thousands-plus empty chapters, even after manually removing close to 1,000. Mass-removal would make it much easier, but I don't want to remove those abandoned chapters by accident.

Right now, I have something like 2,000-plus empty chapters, even after manually removing another close to 1,000. Mass-removal would make it much easier, but I don't want to remove those abandoned chapters by accident.
There is a filter for show/hide the downloaded chapter or everything else.

Unless you have missing chapter but not yet downloaded that you want to keep (why? you cannot read the content if it is not downloaded yet).
