## What is 4.1 Media?

4.1 Media collects what tech communities read and build, and lays it out as one paper each morning.

■ What arrives each morning

SIGNAL — Stories being read in tech communities abroad, with a summary and links to the original and the discussion.
BUILD — Developer tools gaining traction, with a short note on what each one solves.
ECHO — What developers writing in Japanese are reading, summarized in English. The linked articles are in Japanese.

The spread view puts the sections side by side.

■ In the app

Push notifications — A note on the morning a new issue is ready.
Offline reading — The latest issue stays readable where there is no signal.

■ About the subscription

In the app, the top 10 stories of each issue are free to read, and the free version shows a banner ad at the bottom of the screen. The auto-renewing monthly subscription "4.1 Media Pro" unlocks every story in every issue with no ads. The price for your region is shown on the App Store.

The same issues are free to read at fourone.media.

A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. You can cancel any time from your App Store account settings.
