Stoke-on-Trent Live

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

This release is a bug fix update to keep your experience as smooth as possible. We will be back soon with a much bigger update. #StaySafe

Happy New Year! So, we would like to announce a huge new update to kick off 2020, but this one is just a boring old bug fix release. Fear not readers, the code heads are beavering away on some shiny new things, so stay tuned.

This update is all about fixing things, our little elves have been busy behind the scenes sorting out a lot of things that were wonky.

• Dark Mode will now respond no matter where you are in the app - because, well it should do - our bad.
• Have you been in an article and seen content jumping up and down? No... okay well you won't now either.
• Lots of minor fixes here and there, too many to mention and mostly only the developers understand.

Here is a super fast update, to fix a known iOS 13.1 issue. So if you have been browsing an article and suddenly you were whisked off to a whole new page without consciously tapping a link... then this build is for you, because we stopped that. Now browsing and tapping is what you would expect. Sweet!

We have made some more improvements to the app to help with your experience.

• Dark Mode for iOS 13 now works in tandem with your devices dark mode setting, but can also still be on/off independently.
• We updated the tablet view for Discover and made some minor tweaks for the iPhone view while we were at it.
• At the bottom of articles we added a list of all the tags associated with that story so you can find related content more easily.
• Speaking of the bottom of an article everything there, now loads with a snap, no more waiting for content to load.

We also improved some additional minor UI elements and fixed some bugs as well. Nice!

We have a big update for you today, here are just some of the highlights:

• Dark Mode! Yep we support iOS13 Dark Mode setting! If you don't have iOS 13, you can still use dark mode by setting it manually in the app under the "My Account" tab.
• Saving a Tag! Finding related content using tags is great, but now you can save your favourite tags to get to that content even faster.
• Discover Updates! Access your saved Tags and saved Authors from the Discover view and we also gave Discover a quick lick of paint too.
• Stability improvements across the board, especially for legacy iOS devices.
• Many smaller UI and code improvements to make your experience better.

We have even more in the pipeline as well, exciting times, so stay tuned!
