Version History of Newsbite

3.1.7

August 10, 2024

- Additional dark mode themes 'Cool' and 'Warm', which affect all colours used throughout the app and can optionally tint image thumbnails. - The alt text and highlighting UI in the full screen image view is now hidden by default so that the buttons don't interfere with the image. - Multiple image attachments to an article are now shown as a small stack of thumbnails. - Cleaned up the article summary view, removing the clutter of icons in the footer and emphasising the date published. - Fixed a crash that could occur when scrolling to the next unread article. - Removed an unnecessary reload of the article detail view when full content is enabled.

More

3.1.6

July 2, 2024

- Group articles by date published, length, feed, author or tag. - Caption text accompanying an image that is too long to fit in the box can be expanded by swiping upward on it. - Image captions use a condensed font in order to fit more text. - Improved compatibility with feeds that are encoded in a non-standard way, including when encountering malformed UTF8 encoding. - YouTube links are no longer converted to inline videos, this caused formatting issues with some feeds so perhaps wasn't the best idea. - Hidden articles are now also hidden in the favorites view. - Tagged articles now display the tag color as a bar down the side of the article summary and can optionally apply a tint of the color to the whole article.

More

3.1.5

May 8, 2024

- Improved support for feeds encoded with less common encoding formats. - Improved compatibility with malformed feeds where the stated encoding doesn't match the feed content.

More

3.1.4

April 24, 2024

- Fixed the widgets, can't really believe I hadn't noticed they were broken before now so sorry about that. - Gave the widgets a bit of a design spruce up, tightened the fonts and spacing a little to make better use of space. - Adopted new widget APIs so that they still look good in standby mode.

More

3.1.3

April 19, 2024

- Fixed a bug that made it appear not to save feed settings if opening the settings window immediately after closing it. Settings were being saved, it just wasn't reflected in the app until after reopening the timeline. - Fixed a bug that showed an erroneous error message when unable to load the full content for an article. - Added support for inline YouTube videos, in both the article view and timeline. - Added the ability to open an article in the system browser or associated app directly from the article timeline, this can be set globally or per feed. - Added floating action button to the article view for quick access to the external URLs for that article. - Added a setting to let you specify whether to try and load the full content for every article in a feed, or only for summary-style articles. - Added tabs to show the original and full article content. - iOS Tips if running on iOS 17! - MUCH improved support for Dynamic Type, I thought I'd done this but evidently something got broken somewhere along the way, anyway now the article view adjusts to the system text size. As a consequence the setting to control the headline scale has been removed in favour of an overall font scaling setting that operates on top of the system setting. - Lots of little layout tweaks to the article view.

More

3.1.2

February 14, 2024

- Added support for the feed: protocol, which enables the app to respond to opening feed URLs in Safari. - Fixed a bug that would prevent feeds being added when hosted at a custom sub-domain that isn't accessible at the root of that domain (e.g. The WSJ feeds), thanks to Mark W for bringing this to my attention. - Better support for running when offline, images are preloaded and cached locally.

More

3.1.1

December 26, 2023

- Fixed bug that would cause articles to fail to be loaded under some rare circumstances. - Fixed bug whereby a new feed added to the sidebar wouldn't appear immediately. - Fixed bug whereby Mastodon posts wouldn't refresh the replies if previously loaded. - Images uploaded to Mastodon have their EXIF and geolocation data stripped before sending. - Images uploaded to Mastodon can now have alt text added.

More

3.1.0

December 2, 2023

- Added Mastodon support: sign in to your instance and add feeds for your timeline, hashtags, search, and more. - Removed Twitter support (sorry about that). - Improved performance: updating feeds is much faster. - Redesigned interface: more streamlined and overall much tidier.

More

3.0.1

November 30, 2022

- Condensed and compressed system fonts are slightly larger as compared to the regular versions to increase legibility at small sizes. - A progress spinner is shown during in-app purchases and while restoring purchases.

More

3.0.0

October 17, 2022

- New and improved look and feel: alternate font glyphs for maximum readability. - Support for condensed and expanded system fonts. - Rewritten and expanded settings screens: choose app icon, accent color and much more. - New filter and search options. - Code blocks in articles are now syntax highlighted, choose a theme from the Highlight.js library. - Add podcast feeds from iTunes. - Improved podcast audio playback, now with speed selector and equalizer.

  • 50% of a good RSS reader

    Finally got my RSS imported.
    Like: Tags, rules, organisation
    Missing: Can’t swipe between articles, no automatically marking as read. No automatic reader mode so I can see the full text of an article without having to manually poke around.

    If this app could do those things which are fairly basic for RSS readers and especially if it was adept at displaying web comics… well now, it’d be A+ tier.

    But right now it’s weirdly under feaatured.

  • The Best RSS App!

    Blown away by this discovery. I’ve used many RSS readers, and this by far is the best. Incredibly powerful Twitter integration and Podcast player.
  • Started out well, now fails to load feeds & crashes

    The app looked good, the layout crisp and well thought through but now it fails to load an RSS feed that every other app has no problem with, the app shows crash error messages on load and support emails go unanswered.
