Now works even when the app stays open

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
