What's new

v4.6.0Oct 1, 2026

Added
Glass effect: headers, bottom bar, status bar, buttons, sheets and dialogs become frosted glass, with content blurred behind them. Enable it in Settings > Appearance > Theme and colors (Android 12+). - New modern bottom bar: a floating rounded island, with your avatar replacing the "Menu" item. Switch between "Modern" and "Classic" in Settings > Navigation > Bottom menu. - Tabs at hand: a "Tabs" tile in the menu, and a long press on the current section opens the tab list. - Topic section: long-press the topic title, or use ⋮ > "Topic section", to open a sheet with the full name (tap to copy) and the forum path. The arrow expands subsections. - Code block: you can now select and copy part of the code, and expand it full screen with scrolling and pinch to change the font. New settings for line wrapping and showing spaces. - "Day · Night · Auto" in the menu for quick switching on any theme, plus a schedule for custom themes. - Themes with version tracking: a list in Settings > Notifications with checkboxes and "Remove all".
Improved
In-app updates now install the APK together with the launch profile, so the app starts faster right after updating. - The top bar is shorter, and the page row is more compact. - Favorites without a channel: swiping no longer waits tens of seconds, and the list refreshes within 5 minutes instead of 30. - Improved the Downloads section.
Fixed
Android 9–10: in-app updates and icon changes failed with a "not signed with the app's key" error. - Files larger than 128 MB were rejected by the forum; they now upload through a direct channel. - Bookmarks: exporting from two devices created two "ProPDA" folders; now there is one for all devices. - Favorites: the list did not sort by last post time without swiping. - Downloads: the "new" badge showed over an empty list.
