Hello book lovers,
This update contains some small improvements:
* Improved bookshelf edit view with more space for opening times
* I had to disable clustering of the bookshelf markers on the map. This caused many app crashes because there are bugs in Apple’s map framework. I reported the bugs and will enable clustering again when they are fixed by Apple.
* Some minor bug fixes
I hope you like the new update! I am happy to hear from you! You can leave a review in the App Store or get in touch via buecherschrank@stefantrauth.de

Hello book lovers,
this is a big redesign for iOS 11. Bookshelf markers on the map now look a lot nicer!
Selecting a bookshelf shows an info view sliding up from the bottom without covering the whole screen. You can swipe it upwards to see more information about the bookshelf or just swipe it away to dismiss. This makes it a lot faster to look up information.
You can now see the address of a bookshelf and how long it will take to walk to this bookshelf. In case you need directions you can quickly start the navigation in Apple Maps.
The button to center the map on your current location got improved and you can now rotate the map according to the direction you are looking at.
I increased the size of the data field to enter contact information of a bookshelf, because sometimes this filed requires more space than just one line.
Some smaller bugs also got fixed.
