Ratings & Reviews
A small update to fix a UI issue. As always, your feedback is welcome!
In case you missed it, included in the last release:
- NEW: Highlights! You can now highlight text while reading any article. It’s as simple as selecting any text in the reader, tap Highlight. Your highlights accessible from the new Highlights section in the Saved tab across iOS and the web.
- NEW: The Saved tab now brings Articles, Notes, and Highlights together in one place. The standalone Notebook is no longer — everything you've saved now lives in the Saved tab.
- IMPROVED: Article summaries now stream in progressively, so you can start reading key takeaways right away instead of waiting for the full summary to load.
- IMPROVED: After saving an article, you can now instantly organize it into a collection — no extra steps to keep your saved list tidy.
- FIX: Fixed an issue where the Share Extension could show a blank sheet when saving from outside of the Safari browser.
- FIX: Fixed an issue where expanding an article's content could leave you with a broken reader. The app now falls back gracefully to the original article and lets you know what happened.
- FIX: Some favicons did not appear as expected beside the site name. This was reworked to support more types of favicons and generally handling these better.
- Web: Article links can now be shared with anyone — even people without a Headlines account can read them.
- Web: Dig Deeper is now available in News Flash on the web, letting you explore related research directly from your daily briefing.
- A ton of performance improvements. Specifically should notice reading articles for a specific site and viewing your collection feed is much snappier.
