Yes, swiping articles is back! You can now open an article, swipe left and read the next article, or swipe again and again, there is no end to the swiping fun one can have, oh… and we even track your position in the home feed, so when you are done reading, we’ll put you right back in the feed at the last article you looked at, Nice! Stay tuned, as we have much more in the pipeline.

This update is mostly a bug fix release, just stuff we have tinkered with, and things we have adjusted, all of which are too boring to talk about, but, rest assured they will make your experience marginally better... every little helps as they say. Although, if you do love an account creation process, then we have done some UI/UX work to make those much slicker and those things you can see.

8.3.5

May 9, 2023

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!

8.3.4

Apr 3, 2023

From time to time we release maintenance updates that fix some things and lay the foundations for things to come. This release is one of those “things” releases. We fixed that annoying iPad crash some users experienced when you rotated the device whilst reading an article. We have also updated some behind-the-scenes logic that fixes some minor UI/UX issues and squashed a few more bugs for good measure. We have much bigger changes in the pipeline, so stay tuned, we think you are going to love them.

8.3.1

Feb 9, 2023

This update is small but significant. Firstly we have fixed more bugs, especially around stability. We also carried out some important maintenance in the background to make sure things run smoothly without issues.

It’s not all developer fun, this release also sees our Long Read articles get a lick of paint, they have been spruced up to show a bit more gravitas to the content.

Although not a big update this time, the team are hard at work on some very big app changes coming down the line. We can’t wait to show but until then, happy reading.

8.2.3

Jan 17, 2023

This update fixes a crash some users have been experiencing when reading articles. If you continue to see crashes after this update, please contact us using the Feedback sections in your My Account Tab.

We've also fixed an issue some of you were having with loading and posting comments.

8.2.0

Oct 19, 2022

This one is a big release! Not only are we back with new features, but we fixed some annoying bugs too, here are the highlights:

Discover is under going a make over, and in this release sees the first of some new UI changes. Your followed authors and tags are displayed in a whole new way to make discovering new articles even easier. This is just the first step in a bunch of updates that we have coming for Discover in future.

We have also fixed a bunch of bugs including one for iPad, which puts the close icon back in its rightful place after it went walk about. Also you can no longer include spaces in your Display Name for commenting, and we have fixed a bunch of other smaller UI and code bugs to give this release its well earned 8.2 release number.

8.1.2

Sep 5, 2022

Have you been experiencing issues with commenting? Keep getting that “Oops” error when trying to post or even read comments? Yeah, that one, a pain in the neck right?

Well, we have managed to squash that nasty bug for the majority of cases, Just remember you need a display name to be able to post a comment, you can check if you have one by going to the My Account tab, and tapping “My Details”.

8.1.1

Aug 22, 2022

What this update does, is fix an issue that your audio playback was being taken over when using this app, no more will your listening pleasures be disturbed. We have naturally fixed some other pesky bugs too, but please continue to use the in-app feedback for the app if you are experiencing any issues. Until next time.

8.1.0

Jul 14, 2022

A shiny new update is what this is. Included in this one are some rather important bug fixes and clean up around the app, here are the important ones:

* One particular bug fix allows you to play Podcasts again, that nasty bug has been squashed and you can now sit back a relax with a podcast again.

* We went even further, Podcasts has had an overhaul too. They are now associated with an article, so you get all the information available. A new listen button to make it easier to start playing a Podcast, and now there is a whole new mini player, so you can listen while you read the app, if you are offline, or just simply walking to work!

* Also we are introducing the ability to delete your account directly from within the app. A word of caution, if you use your account with other Reach publications, deleting an account in one place, will delete it everywhere.

We will be back with more soon, until then enjoy the sunshine!

8.0.2

Jul 11, 2022

This release is an important one. This will be the last release for iOS13, it was a tough decision to make, but in order to advance the app we need to move to new technologies that aren’t available for iOS13. To continue receiving future updates with all new features and more, please update your device to iOS14 or above.

So for this final iOS 13 supported release:

- We have an all new navigation style that pins to the top of the view when you scroll… it's really rather lovely!

- We have a new large article preview format, for our first top story on iPad. This we think, uses the space better and we hope you like it.

- We have added new topic recommendations into top stories, so you can see what else is going on in other news that might interest you.

- And of course, we fixed a bunch of bugs, made more optimisations for speed, and completed some UI updates for good measure.

We have some really cool updates in the pipeline, so keep an eye out for more, and remember - to download them you will need iOS14 or above.

7.1.6

Mar 30, 2022

Here is a mighty fine maintenance update that resolves some issues a very small group of users were seeing.

Have you been logged in and tried to view the comments, only for them to simply not appear? If you did, then we believe that annoying bug has now been fixed. We also fixed some other minor issues and cleared out a few cobwebs.

We’ll be back soon with a far more interesting update… honest.

7.1.5

Feb 7, 2022

As promised, we are back with a big update! So what goodies do we have for you this time?

1. Comment History! If you love to comment, and see how your comments are being received, then head to the My Account tab and you will see a new option to access “My Comments”. You can even load the original article from there too.

2. Have you ever tried to watch a Live Video only to find it doesn’t work? A right pain we know. This has now been fixed, so grab a snack and enjoy!

3. Finally, one for you techies, we of course fixed a bunch of bugs, updated dependencies and frameworks all to keep your experience silky smooth

We aren’t finished though, the team is working on some rather cool personalisation features, so stay tuned for more to come in future releases!

7.1.2

Nov 29, 2021

This release is all the boring stuff you don’t care about… architecture changes, platform changes, bug fixes… all very exciting for a developer, but for us mere mortals, all a bit meh! Fear not, we have some big changes in the pipeline, so stay tuned, the next one should be far more fun for us normal folk!

7.1.1

Nov 9, 2021

It’s finally here! Yes, this release sees a major update to a popular feature.

- Today we are introducing a fully native version of commenting on our articles which will bring you a far better experience and solve many of the issues you, and we, have been facing up to now. We hope you like it and we aren’t finished here, we have more commenting updates in the pipeline which we will share in a future release.

- We have also made some UI changes, and bug fixes here and there to keep things running Tickety-boo.

7.0.7

Sep 20, 2021

This release is about fixing bugs and updating dependencies in the backend, to help reduce some crashes a few users have been experiencing. We have also made some additional fixes around logging in to commenting, that some users were experiencing.

We do have a much bigger commenting update on the way, with a whole new native experience and we can’t wait to share it with you. So hang there commenters, it’s almost ready.

7.0.6

Sep 9, 2021

This release has a lot of under the hood changes, mainly fixing stability issues a small number of users were seeing. You will also notice some UI tidying here and there around accessibility, fonts and other components in the app. We have added a new comments section to the footer, to make it easier to jump right into comments at the end of an article.

Also, on the commenting front, we know a lot of you have issues with the current version, but please bear with us, we are going to be bringing a whole new native experience very soon. It’s a huge task but we are closing in now on a launch, so keep an eye out for future updates.

7.0.4

Aug 4, 2021

This update is all about fixing some bugs on iPhone and iPad.

Did you notice if you played a video, scrolled down the screen and up again, the video had vanished into thin air? Well, we have soothed the video gods and everyone is happy now, we even made the video controls better too.

We have bigger things to share with you soon, but for now we hope this release solves a few issues. As always, share any bugs you find in the Apps Feedback section under the My Account tab.
