  Bug fixes
  
  version 5.1:
  For the first time in the app, we're introducing a way for you use your library card to unlock the benefits of a full subscription. Keep what you download — no more library late fees! Scroll through the list or use the search field to find your library, then enter your card number and PIN.
  
  Link all of your social profiles and your library card to your existing PressReader account. Then, you can sign in with any of your social accounts and have all your activity collected in your PressReader channel. Add your library card, Facebook, Twitter and Google accounts on the Accounts tab under social and linked networks.
  
  Change your password right in the app. Nobody likes guessing when they last updated their password, so we've added a date stamp so that you can see when you did. You can also change the email attached to your account, and your photo or nickname.
  
  Get quick translations of single stories to keep up to date with the world's press. Read news from many different perspectives. Expand an article and tap on the menu in the top right corner to translate it.
  
  Fixed: Menus will now disappear as they're supposed to, particularly once an issue has been opened.

• 5.0

  6 Mar 2017
  Reading just got a little brighter and a lot more fun! You’ll notice some amazing changes in this release, including a brighter interface, easier navigation and new reading gestures to streamline your reading experience. Here are the best bits in the latest app
  
  DESIGN
  — Always know when you’ve successfully connected to a HotSpot. The green teacup will tell you when your magazine and newspaper downloads are being sponsored by one of our partners.
  —We’ve lightened the app color scheme in keeping with our refreshed brand, and updated our logo and app icon.
  — On iPhone, you can easily read entire issues. Swipe right on article snippets to pop them open and swipe back again when you’re done.
  — Hide and seek is fun, but not when you’re looking for something. You’ll find the menu always on the left side on your iPad, and at the lower edge of the screen on iPhone.
  
  FEATURES
  — Look up unfamiliar words and phrases by highlighting them and tapping “Look Up”. This will return relevant dictionary, Wikipedia, website or maps results. (“Look Up” was one of our most popular feature requests — thanks for voting!)
  — Skip the sign in process when you share articles using any of the apps you already have installed.
  — Set the size of the type that you’re reading with our new text control.
  — New users can save articles (without being signed in) to read or share later.
  — Add multiple images to your comments after registering for a free account.
  — Change from the printed view to a text view using the menu at the bottom of the screen.
  
  FIXES
  — We’ve added a confirmation message for single issue payments after a HotSpot connection. This will avoid any confusion if one HotSpot has expired, and you haven’t picked up a new one yet.
  — The titles shown in the catalog will be in your chosen language (because that makes good sense).
  — We’ve added a ‘Forgot Password?’ process to the app on iPhones.
  — The account page has a back button once again. It had disappeared for readers using split screen.
  — We’ve fixed the way that articles are saved to note-taking apps. Now they’ll include every piece of the article when it’s continued on multiple pages.
  — The Publications page has been updated to handle a much faster scroll of the cover thumbnails.
