This update sharpens push notifications and unread badges: • Breaking news alerts now show the exact story title and deep-link to that specific article, instead of grouping multiple events into one combined push. • Fixed unread badges on the Latest News and Breaking tabs so they accurately reflect new content — the previous version could show "0" even when new stories had arrived. • App icon badge count is now correct. • Behind-the-scenes performance, reliability, and translation-quality improvements.

Translation reliability also improved across all 11 languages.

⏺ What's New in v1.10.0 Trending Now, read-along audio, and a smoother way to follow stories. - Trending Now A new section at the top of the Latest News tab surfaces the day's most widely-covered stories — the ones multiple outlets are converging on. Trending articles also get a small orange flame badge wherever they appear (Saved, Offline, even when you scroll past them in the main list), so you can spot them at a glance. There's a new Trending filter chip too, in case you want to zero in just on the day's biggest stories. - Read-Along Audio The Listen feature just got a major upgrade. As the article is read aloud, the current phrase is gently highlighted in sync with the audio — turning passive listening into a comfortable read-along experience that boosts comprehension and helps you stay engaged. The highlight moves at a natural reading pace, grouped in 5–8 word phrases at natural punctuation breaks, so it never feels jumpy. A polished progress card shows while we generate the audio and align the words, and everything is cached after the first listen — so anyone opening the same article gets instant playback with perfect sync. - Also in this release - Snappier listen flow with safer error recovery if audio takes too long - Trending filter chip integrates with the existing perspective row (All / For You / Trending / Underreported / Left / Center / Right) - All 11 languages translated for the new sections and badges Thanks for using Latest News!
