Hello readers! Many of you have emailed in to report that the barcode scan or online search was no longer returning results. I've been investigating these issues for some time now, and this update at last switches to a different provider of book metadata. I hope that the coverage should now be more comprehensive, and the service more reliable. Please do reach out if you have any feedback about the metadata results in this update. If it's working better for you now, a rating or review would genuinely help spread the word :) As always, happy reading! --- Version 2.9.1 includes further refinements of the new book metadata search functionality.

Hello readers! Minor version update here, including the following: - Tapping on a book's cover will now show you the cover image in full screen.

This update aims to fix issues that many of you were reporting relating to issues scanning barcodes. I've added a new book metadata source for barcode scanning: OpenLibrary. If the book barcode lookup at Google Books doesn't work, the app will fall-back to OpenLibrary. I aim to roll this out to the Online Search mode too; in the meantime, I welcome any feedback on this new metadata source. Thanks for your patience, and happy reading!

This update includes a handful of improvements behind the scenes, helping to lay the ground-work for some future feature updates. Reading List now requires iOS 17 and up, this helps keep the app using the latest technologies and to keep it running smoothly. I'm aware there's been ongoing issues with the book metadata lookup, due to issues at Google Books. I'm actively working on some alternative book lookup sources, so hopefully will be able to improve that experience in a future update. As always, thanks for supporting Reading List, and happy reading!

This update fixes an issue where a book search may fail when a language restriction has been set in the Settings tab. Unfortunately there have been issues this week with the book metadata source in use (Google Books). When this happens, the app falls back to a different source of book metadata - but there was a further problem (this one my fault) which would make the search fail at this fallback source whenever the app tries to restrict the results to only a given language. Whoopsie. With this update, the fallback should work, which should prevent the errors. The update also fixes an issue where the app could get stuck in edit mode when the search bar was active, and improves a few small UI elements on iOS 26. As always, thanks for supporting Reading List, and happy reading!

This update includes a refreshed UI to support Liquid Glass on iOS 26 (iPhone only for now), along with performance improvements, bug fixes and other refinements throughout. Thanks for continuing to support Reading List, and happy reading and happy new year!

Minor update here – a bigger update with support for iOS 26 is coming soon! - Made the ISBN text copyable from the book details screen (with a long-press) - Fixed an issue with the display of the filter finished books screen - A few other background improvements and enhancements Happy reading!

This update fixes an issue which could cause the app to crash when editing book metadata whilst running on iOS 16.0 – 16.3.

Version 2.7.2 includes a fix to an issue where the Edit Book screen could cause the app to crash. Thanks again for using and sharing Reading List!
