1.5.0 (July 7, 2024)

New Features

• Article Summary Upgrade: PoweReader now offers a choice between cloud-based and offline AI models for article summarization. This feature allows users to balance performance and privacy according to their needs:

  • Online Mode:

    • Leverages powerful cloud-based AI models to generate more comprehensive and nuanced summaries.
    • Ideal for users who prioritize high-quality summaries.
    • A fixed monthly quota for cloud-based summaries is provided. Please be mindful of your usage frequency.

  • Offline Mode:

    • Summaries are processed entirely on your device, ensuring data never leaves your phone.
    • Perfect for privacy-conscious users or those in areas with unstable internet connections.
    • No usage limits, use it as much as you want. Generate unlimited summaries for any number of articles.

  Users can switch between these two modes anytime in the App settings. The offline AI model is particularly useful for heavy users or those who prefer unlimited summarization capabilities.

• Font Size Adjustment: You can now adjust the font size in the reading interface according to your personal preference.

• Sharing Feature: Easily share interesting articles with friends or on social media.

• "Keep Read Items" Setting: Choose whether to keep read articles in the list.

• "Mark as Read" Setting: Supports automatically marking articles as read when opened, or manually marking them as read.

Improvements

• Unread Notification: A noticeable dot will appear next to unread articles, making them easy to identify.
