1.0.15

Smoother lookup, clearer dictionary reading, and fixes for images and iPad startup.

Improved

  • macOS Open and expand the macOS lookup panel more smoothly, with clearer loading feedback while results arrive.
  • Read explanations and dictionary entries side by side, switch dictionaries from the panel, and open the full entry without losing your place.
  • Follow related words and phrases through one lookup history, preserving the selected dictionary and the exact linked entry. Links from the desktop panel open in the main window.
  • Show clearer online dictionary connection, availability, and retry messages.
  • Keep desktop lookup controls in one compact row and give reading more room as you scroll. Drag the window from empty areas around its controls.

Fixed

  • Keep loading, image-recognition warnings, and explanation failure details visible without taking space from dictionary reading.
  • Restore images in dictionaries whose resource links were previously interpreted incorrectly.
  • Improve keyboard access to popovers and keep menus positioned correctly when the window is resized.
  • Keep your current review card during progress updates, recover from refresh failures, and preserve spoken-answer feedback.
  • Open study-stage instructions reliably on touch screens.
  • Fix the iPadOS 27 launch crash and preserve lookup links when the app starts or returns from the background.
