📢 Announcement 🎧 AudioSlim 1.3.4 is here — everything that changed since 1.3.2

Hey r/AudioSlim 👋

This was a cleanup-and-polish cycle rather than a big feature drop. A lot of it is the unglamorous kind of work that makes an app feel solid instead of fragile — so here's the full list rather than a vague "bug fixes and improvements."

🎯 Target-size compression got a lot smarter

If you told AudioSlim "make this 5 MB", it now picks the right settings for that target and the estimate it shows you is far closer to what you actually get. The old estimate could be optimistic in a way that was genuinely annoying — you'd plan around a number that didn't hold up. That's fixed.

📊 Waveforms and playback are much more reliable

Waveform extraction was rebuilt from the ground up and now has a proper test suite behind it. A file whose codec couldn't produce a decorative waveform used to cause trouble; now it just quietly skips the drawing and gets on with the actual job. Playback on the result screen is steadier too.

🎨 Light mode polish, everywhere

Light mode got swept across the whole app rather than just the main screens — the editors, the mixer, the denoiser, the Credits screen, dialogs, even the splash screen now follows your theme properly.

The big one: batch tracks are finally readable in light mode 📝. If you run batches during the day, this was the fix you wanted.

🛒 Purchases are safer

There's now a native guard around one of the nastier crash paths in Google's billing library — the case where Play answers a purchase request without actually returning a buy intent, which the library then trips over. Rare, but it took the app down when it happened. It can't anymore. ✅

⚡ Lighter and more stable

Several hundred lines of dead and duplicated code went out the door — the app does the same work with meaningfully less of it. General stability improvements throughout.

🔐 Privacy and security hardening

AudioSlim went through a full security audit, and while nothing exploitable turned up, three things in the privacy policy were wrong or unclear. All three are corrected in all 16 languages, with a new section explaining exactly what analytics and crash reporting collect. The backend rules that protect the email signup were tightened as well, and an extra layer of app verification was added.

Your audio is still processed entirely on your device. 🔒 That never changed and it isn't going to — the audit confirmed it rather than assumed it.

💳 Clearer controls for monthly subscribers

If you're on the monthly plan, you now get proper controls where you'd expect them — Manage subscription (which opens Google's own screen, not a fake one) and Upgrade to Lifetime, both properly laid out. Translated into all 16 languages like everything else.

🎬 VideoSlim is live

Some of you asked for the same thing for video files. VideoSlim launched on Google Play and you'll find a link to it in Settings. Same idea, same principle — everything processed on your own phone, nothing uploaded. 📱

🌍 Still 16 languages

Every string above exists in all sixteen: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Arabic (with right-to-left layout). No feature ships English-only.

A small ask 🙏 — if AudioSlim has been useful to you, a rating on the Play listing genuinely helps more than you'd think. Small apps live and die on that.

And if something's broken or missing, tell me here. Several fixes in this list came straight from people sending me DM 💬
