Simone 4.5.4 Mar 23 The Book Tracker experience on Apple Watch has been fully redesigned to feel more fluid, native, and right at home on your wrist.
Book Tracker now supports all available Apple Watch widgets and complications, compatible with any watch face.
Two modes are available:
* Automatic: the widget updates on its own. If a reading timer is active, it shows the current book with a live timer. When you're not reading, it shows the next book in your reading list. A tap takes you straight to the timer or the book's detail page.
* Manual: choose which book to display from your currently reading list. Once selected, it works just like Automatic mode.
Improvements and fixes
* Smoother scrolling for a more responsive feel
* Improvements to cover image loading
* Fixed an issue that could automatically restart a paused reading timer on Apple Watch
* Fixed an issue that prevented searching for covers online when a book had no image, in certain situations
* On Mac, when scanning barcodes you can now choose which camera to use: built-in, external webcam, or iPhone Continuity Camera
