What's New in the Latest Version 5.7.0

• Story notes now show on the story page, right under the summary, so you see the author’s notes and content warnings before chapter one.
• The inline comment button is much easier to hit: a bigger tap area, and the reader menus no longer pop up instead of the comments.
• For writers: in a schedule, you can now clear the chapter count and day fields and type a new number.
• For writers: Early Access stories and chapters without a schedule can be submitted again.
• For writers: the story language is now set automatically, so the Language option is gone from story settings.
• Fixed: going back from a notification now returns you to where you were.
• Fixed: the app no longer reopens in Chapter 1 of a story whose page you only looked at.
