wispar - v0.7.0+27

Is your downloads screen filled with emptiness? 🍃

• Downloads now work for all major publishers, including Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, Wiley, IEE, etc.! 🥳

  • Both open-access and pay-walled articles (EZproxy required, unless using your institution VPN or network) can be downloaded.
  • Sometimes you may see this little download icon in the app bar when visiting an article's website:
  • You may tap it and try to download in app :
  • Sometimes, publishers don't expose the proper download link on their website and the in app download will fail. In that case, please use the download button manually. For example, Wiley's articles can be downloaded by first tapping their "PDF" button : . You will then be redirected to their built-in PDF viewer. Once there, you can download the PDF file into Wispar and have it show up in the Downloads screen :

• Article titles and abstracts can now be translated using an AI provider (requires an API key).

• Publication cards have a swipe gesture that reveals two buttons: 1) Send to Zotero and 2) Hide this publication

• Happy reading! ✌️

<p>This is a <math xmlns=":www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><msqrt><mi>little</mi></msqrt></math> difficult to <span>(\frac{d}{dx} \left( read^2 \right))</span>.</p>

• That's right, Wispar can now render Latex and basic MathML! It's probably not perfect, so please report problematic publications so that I can adjust the MathML to Latex conversion.
• This update should fix the background service being killed by Android. The service will now check every hour for journals that haven't been updated for at least 3 hours. The notifications should be more reliable. Some devices will still need extra steps, please refer to : https://dontkillmyapp.com/
• A new screen in the settings has been added to view app logs. I will continue to improve logging in the app with future updates.

🔔 Notifications are here! 🔔

• Background journal updates and notifications: Wispar now notifies you when new articles are available. A background service checks every 2 hours for journals or saved queries that haven’t been updated in the past 6 hours. If new articles are found, you’ll get a notification.

• Battery optimization notice: To ensure the background service works reliably and doesn't get killed, you may need to disable battery optimization for Wispar in your device settings. On some devices (e.g., Xiaomi, Samsung, Asus, Huawei), additional steps might be required to prevent the system from killing background services. For device-specific instructions, visit: https://dontkillmyapp.com/

• Not interested in notifications and/or background updates?: You can revoke Wispar's permission to run in the background by going in your devices settings.

• Hide publications: You can now hide publications from your feed via the options menu on each card. To unhide them, tap the feed options menu (top right) and choose "View hidden publications."

⚠️‼️Backup your database‼️⚠️

Please backup your database before updating by going in Settings > Database > Export Database I made many changes to the database to fix issues with the ISSNs. While I tested with several emulators and my phone, there could still be issues that slipped through. With a backup, you can downgrade to the previous version and import your data.

If you are following a journal that is not up to date due to the app using an old ISSN, please unfollow the journal and re-follow it. All its associated ISSNs will be used to fetch articles instead of only one.

With this update, you can also change the app's language by going into Settings > Display > Language
