Bookcamp v2.1.2 for Android is now available on the Play Store.

👋 We've addressed several user-reported issues and implemented new requested features from our Feedback Hub, with a focus on enhancing the sleep timer experience and fine-tuning the auto-rewind functionality.

Here's what's new:

Sleep Timer 💤

  • Shake your device to extend the timer after it expires

  • Choose from three shake sensitivity levels for your preference

  • Added haptic feedback when extending the timer

Auto-Rewind ▶️

  • Smart auto-rewind now adjusts based on pause duration:

    • 1-10 minutes paused: 10 seconds rewind

    • 10-60 minutes paused: 30 seconds rewind

    • Over 60 minutes paused: 1 minute rewind

  • Now works even when the app stays open

Voice Boost 🔈

  • New option to reduce volume instead of only boosting

Plex Integration 🧩

  • Improved handling of expired Plex tokens

  • Fixed sync notification persistence issue

Bug Fixes 🐛

Android v2.1.1 — Performance & Sync Improvements

Bookcamp v2.1.1 for Android is now available on the Play Store.

👋 Following the v2.1.0 update two weeks ago, our beta testers identified some additional improvements that could be implemented without significantly impacting the development of Bookcamp 3.

Here's what's new:

Library 📚

  • Fixed an issue where completed books would reappear in the “Continue Listening” section

  • Fixed sync failures that occurred when too much listening history accumulated offline

  • When switching between devices, the app now prompts you to restore your progress if another device has listened further in the same book

Performance 🏎️

  • Drastically reduced the time needed to restore the player's previous state when launching the app (also applies to Android Auto)

Android Auto 🚘

  • Added quick access to Reading List and Downloads directly from the Android Auto interface
