I reported a bug, TidBITS didn’t work with voiceover. They fixed it, fantastic! It works wonderfully now. Really appreciate that.

Developer Response
Both concerns should be fixed in version 2.3.1.

Okay, five stars, really? It's not the handsomest app, being no more than a set of containers for the updates on their site. So yes, not for looks or interaction. It used to have the option of listening to the articles being read aloud which, in an era of polished podcasting, was just a step above goofily endearing. Didn't quite merit the amount of work, I'd say. It has news and updates keeping some measure of lockstep with the Apple universe. But it's no Ars Technica or Verge or MacNewsSiteDuJour. But no five stars for any of that. It's TidBITS, the oldest continuous Internet publication focussed on all things Apple. And what you read here is good stuff. Consistently. For a very long time. In depth articles, useful features, intelligent commentary. For that Five Stars. If that's your bag and apps (over email or websites) are your thing, then download this. Tidbits rocks old school, fine by me.

In the past week the TidBits app has stopped updating on my iPhone. I deleted and reinstalled but that hasn’t fixed it.

Work around pictures of emojis that sometimes show up in the feed.
