NewsBlur now speaks 21 languages. Menus, buttons, settings, and setup follow your device language, or you can choose a language in Preferences. Your stories stay exactly as published. The language chooser previews your selection alongside English. Arabic and Hebrew support right-to-left layouts. Widgets now show a folder or site of your choice, with a separate selection for each widget. New widgets start with All Site Stories using your signed-in account. Refreshing is more reliable, including when hidden stories come first. Remove and re-add existing NewsBlur widgets to use the new version, then touch and hold a widget and choose Edit Widget. Keyboard shortcuts now work while the story list has focus, and N opens the first unread story. If a translation sounds awkward, tell us the language and where you saw it on the NewsBlur forum.

SIGN IN WITH APPLE OR GOOGLE You can now sign in with Apple or Google, or connect either one to your existing NewsBlur account. Your feeds and reading history stay with you, even if your Apple or Google email is different from your NewsBlur email. Username and password sign-in is still available. A NEW WAY TO GET STARTED Pick your interests and explore collections of feeds to find your first favorite sites. Preview stories before subscribing, or import your existing subscriptions from an OPML file. SMOOTHER READING This release improves iPhone rotation, iPad column layouts, and navigation between stories. It also includes fixes for image interactions and keeping your place while reading.

Photos now open only with a deliberate single tap, so scrolling through a story or stopping its momentum won't open the image viewer. Tapping small photos also works correctly after scrolling. This update also keeps font sizes consistent in the story settings menu.

This update fixes long pauses when swiping between stories with downloaded images, restores iPad keyboard navigation and the S shortcut for saving stories, and fixes articles staying blank when a swipe interrupts opening the reader. You can also subscribe to a website's feed directly from Safari using the NewsBlur share extension.
