- Open articles in Reading mode noticeably faster, especially the first one after launch. - Prefetch your newest unread articles in the background on Wi-Fi, so they open instantly, even offline later. Prefetching pauses on cellular, Personal Hotspot, and Low Data Mode. - Get a quicker answer on slow or unreachable sites: Reading mode no longer waits through repeated retries after a timeout. - Read more articles in Reading mode: pages that only embed a CAPTCHA, such as in a comment form, are no longer mistaken for blocked pages and pushed to Web view. - Keep scrolling and tapping smoothly while an article is being prepared. - Add feeds, rename feeds, documents, and groups, and edit groups in cleaner form-style sheets that fit both iPhone and iPad and submit straight from the keyboard. - Close Settings with a dedicated button in its toolbar.
