DC Universe “Harvey Dent” Release Notes: August, 2019

Our August update is named after Harvey Dent, Gotham’s prominent District Attorney, who fought valiantly to uphold the law. In his honor, we had two main focuses: improving the user experience and attacking bugs. We now appeal to more videophiles, with 4K SDR Chromecast support, and answered the plea for better recommendations after watching content. This release we focused on enforcing proper Comic Download Limits on iOS and catching Web up to the New Masthead design we see on mobile, today for content, and a more useful Dive Back In row.

“We will now show the next episode or book in a series if a user has completed the previous, instead of showing 100% completion on the previous item” / “All: Dive Back In Row now suggests the next Episode and/or Book in a Series”.

FYI, as of last night, this isn’t working right on Roku. It’s showing the issue/episode I already completed in the Dive Back In row.

I believe in Harvey Dent.

Downloaded books only last 30 days. Makes sense. I’m glad to pay for the service, but I was wondering the other day if you could join for a month, download a thousand comics and just read those for the next year. Guess not. Makes sense.

I noticed that DC Daily now offers me the next episode in my Favorites on Roku instead of always e202. Thanks! Also, any other updates on Roku?

Just a quick follow-up on my comment from yesterday: The Dive Back In for episodes/videos is working correctly on Roku, but for comic issues it’s not. I have to go to page 2 of the next issue that I want to read to get it to register in my Dive Back In list. Otherwise, it stays stuck on the last issue that I just finished reading. Thanks.
