2015-03-24
Almost a year in the works, Browsy 1.2 brings a redefined browsing experience with an incredible amount of new features, performance improvements and a few bug fixes that make using the app a lot better.
The update includes:
## New and Improved:
### Some completely new views
- New Reading View, allowing you to read all of your favorite websites in a clean layout without any ads, menus or other content. Powered by Marky (https://slsrepo.com/marky).
- New Tabs View, for browsing multiple webpages in the same time.
- The New Notes View allow you to write quick thoughts, ideas, remarks you have while watching videos, reading and browsing and then send that text to other apps. Including an extra keyboard row that allows you to move the cursor with a swipe, select text with a two-finger swipe and move to the start or the end of the view with a double tap with two fingers on the edges of the row.
### New Settings
- New Gesture to hide all the buttons - Swipe right with 2 fingers to hide the buttons (including the More button). To hide the buttons on the Notes view, swipe with 3 fingers.

### Improvements to the main view
### And One More Thing...
- Introducing Browsy for Apple Watch! :) Use the Watch app to control the iPhone app from your Watch, view your Bookmarks, or do a quick search online.

## Bugs and Other Issues Fixed:
- Fixed a crash that might have occurred when trying to close the 1Password extension view when there are no login details to fill.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the Bookmarks View to open twice.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused Buttons and Titles to change color randomly or on device rotation.
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the Error view to appear even after loading the website.
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused videos to be played automatically after loading a page with videos.
