- We also improved some other UI elements around the app to fix a few contrast and accessibility issues we were seeing.
Did you ever notice that trying to write a long message in commenting, meant you couldn’t see all your text? Well, that’s also been fixed too.

9.4.4
2025-03-10
We have mostly been laying the foundations for some new features in this release, however, some of those changes improve the UI in places right now, others will be more transformative when we launch those new features, so stay tuned for a bigger update in future.

2024-12-03
Today’s update is mostly maintenance, but we do have some nice things too. First, we have a UX update for Commenting, we now display in the comments if the commenting conversation is closed, anyone trying to post a comment after it’s closed would not see their post and no feedback as to why. Secondly we have some UI updates sprinkled around the app, these include new icons and better uses of colour. We’ll be back with more in the future release.
9.3.9
2024-11-13
We all know how much we like reading the news, but what if you get distracted and you don’t finish an article, and you forgot to save it? Well now that “Doh!” moment is a thing of the past, as today we are introducing ‘Reading History’. Inside the settings tab you will find the My Reading History section and there you will see every article you have read, or begun to read, all nicely organised by days and weeks. This information is also only stored on your device and is never sent to the cloud. We hope this little feature helps you continue to enjoy the news that little bit more.
9.3.7
2024-10-10
The update lottery is back with a new release, so what do we have for you this time? This release is… A maintenance release woohoo! We can hear the groans from here, and we are sorry but these things do need to be done. We are laying new foundations that will mean our development pipeline can move faster, which means better and more feature based releases for you. Join us again soon as we spin the lottery app release update wheel again!
9.3.3
2024-08-13
Another bug release and all the fixes are too small for the eye, or too incredibly boring to explain in human speech. Either way, work was carried out, developers fiddled and the app works a bit better.
9.3.2
2024-07-16
A bit of a maintenance release, this one. Mostly stuff in the background that needs to be kept updated, all rather dull. Of course, any release wouldn’t be complete without the usual round of improvements and bug fixes, and we have included a bunch in here too. We have more in the pipeline, so stay tuned for a future update.
9.1.1
2023-10-24
This update is all about fixes.
A small number of our users who use their account across more than one of our apps, have logged in only to see their saved topics all go missing, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We are sorry this happened, and we have fixed that bug to make sure it doesn’t happen in future - You can head to the My News tab to set those up again.
We have also fixed a number of visual elements and things behind the scenes to improve the experience.
Stay tuned as we have more improvements and fun stuff in the pipeline.
8.3.5
2023-04-17
We would like to say we are back with a bang for this release, but for most of you, this is just a mere maintenance release that fixes some bugs, and has some behind-the-scenes updates… you know, the yawn-inducing stuff. However, for those of you who love a full-screen image, then we have an all-new gallery experience just for you! Galleries now offer thumbnails of upcoming images, and have more gesture controls, among other cool things for you to enjoy while you pinch and zoom!
