9.1.1
2023-10-31
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
2023-05-09
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
2023-04-03
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
2023-02-09
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.
8.2.0
2022-10-19
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
2022-09-05
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
2022-08-22
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
2022-08-04
A shiny new update is what this is. Included in this one are some rather important bug fixes and clean up around the app. 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.
8.0.2
2022-07-11
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
2022-03-30
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
2022-02-07
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
2021-11-25
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!
7.0.7
2021-09-20
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 have also fixed a bunch of bugs, including the black screen issue when trying to play a video, reported by a small number of users.

6.3.3
2020-08-06
This update marks a big change for User Accounts and Commenting going forward in order to address a number of issues. In this release, we have updated the user accounts back end, what does this mean for you?
• You will be automatically logged out of your account upon installation, so you will need to log back in again. We are sorry for the small inconvenience but it is a necessary step to ensure your data security. If you don't remember your login details, you can use the "Forgot Password" feature to reset it.
• Commenting on articles is temporarily suspended. This feature is getting a huge overhaul, and will be turned back on again as soon as possible, we are very sorry but this is just unavoidable at this time due to the new user account security.
Also in this update is a fix for a small number of users that have been experiencing battery drain while the app is not being used. We will continue to monitor this issue going forward, if you are still experiencing battery drain in the background with this release, please use the in app feedback to get in touch.
