Updates, History and Recents
Updates lists new chapters, and History lists what you have read. Both hold manga and light novels together, with All / Manga / Novels chips to narrow them. You can keep them as two tabs, or combine them into one Recents tab.
One Recents tab
Go to and turn on Combine Updates and History. The bottom bar swaps the two tabs for straight away, with no restart. Turning it off brings the two tabs back.
The first time you turn it on, Recents takes the content chip and category filter Updates had. After that, Recents keeps its own.
Recents has four modes along the top, and remembers the one you last used:
- Grouped sorts your series into New chapters, Continue reading and Newly added, a few rows each, with the most recent section first. A series appears in only one section. View all at the end of the first two switches to the Updates or History mode.
- Feed is the default: one row per series, newest activity first, each saying what happened (updated, read or added). A series you have been reading shows the next chapter.
- History and Updates are the same lists as the separate tabs, with a heading for each day.
Grouped and Feed leave out series with nothing unread. Turn on Show caught-up series in the filter sheet to see them too. Newly added series always show.
Search works in every mode. Update library and Upcoming Updates are in the overflow in the modes that show updates (Upcoming Updates not on the Novels chip), and Clear history in the modes that show history. Pull down to update the library in the same modes that show updates.
The unread count from Show unread count on Updates icon in sits on the Recents icon. Opening a mode that shows updates clears it; History mode leaves it alone.
Tapping the Recents icon again while you are on it opens your most recently read chapter, or the download queue in Updates mode.
Filtering
Tap Filter in the toolbar. The icon is highlighted while a filter is on. The sheet has three tabs:
- General: tick Categories and tap Edit to pick the categories to include or exclude. Unticking it keeps your picks but ignores them. The row is hidden if you have no categories. Show caught-up series is here too, and only changes Recents' Grouped and Feed modes.
- Chapters: Downloaded, Unread, Started and Bookmarked, each of which can include or exclude, plus Filter excluded scanlators for manga. These apply to Grouped, Feed and Updates, not to History.
- Updates: Group by series folds a series' new chapters from the same day into one row you can expand.
Updates, History and Recents each keep their own category selection, so filtering History does not change Updates. The All / Manga / Novels chip in the Edit dialog only narrows which categories it lists.
Swipe actions
In Updates, swipe a chapter row left or right to act on it. The same two settings control the chapter list on a series' page:
- Chapter on swipe to right, Mark as read by default.
- Chapter on swipe to left, Bookmark chapter by default.
Both are in , and each can be Disabled, Bookmark chapter, Mark as read or Download. Read and bookmark toggle on and off. Download starts a download, cancels one that is queued, or deletes one already downloaded.
A swipe acts on that row only and leaves any selection alone. It works on Updates rows for manga and novels, on the chapters inside an expanded Group by series row, and on New chapters rows in Recents' Grouped and Feed modes. History rows cannot be swiped.
