Version 9.2.3
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.

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.

version 7.0.2

Jul 19, 2021 Version 7.0.2
This release marks a huge update for the app, but mostly in a way that is not very visual. We have spent a huge amount of time rebuilding many of the sections to use modern code practices to give you the best experience now, and in the future. That's not to say you don’t get some nice little treats for you too, so here’s a couple of highlights

Accessibility has taken a huge step forward, we now respect your devices settings for accessibility font sizes, not just in the article view, but the entire app! We’ve made improvements to voice over too and there is still more to come.

Tool Tips have been introduced as a quick way to help you understand what some icons and features do, there will be more added in the future so keep an eye out for these.

There is so much more as well. We added new controls in “My Account” for setting the Apps Theme, Reducing Animations if you find them distracting and even resetting the tooltips if you forgot what a feature did. There are updates to video playback, Toolbars, tab bars, scrolling, swiping, memory usage, pretty much everything about the app has had some changes made.

This is just the beginning, we have some more big updates coming soon too, so stay tuned!

version 6.6.7

Jun 21, 2021 Version 6.6.7
This release is a significant one, as it will be the last update for users who are on iOS12 and below. With the app improvements and features we want to add, we simply can’t do these things prior to iOS13. So please if you are able, update your device to iOS13 or above to continue receiving our app updates. Also in this release…

* Did the app crash when you sometimes tried to play a video? Yeah, we saw this happen too, very annoying and all fixed now.

* When changing the app theme, bookmarks would get annoyed and hide themselves. Not particularly helpful at all, but now they are happy again in any theme you set.

We have some great updates in the pipeline, so stay tuned for more throughout the year.
