1.6
May 12, 2026
Source attribution — news alerts now display the actual publishing outlet by name (CNBC, Reuters, Bloomberg, etc.) instead of a generic "NEWS" tag, both in the feed and on the alert detail page. Pro previews — free users get a sneak peek of the Pro analysis on each alert, so you can see what's behind the paywall before deciding to subscribe. Smarter App Store review prompts — only requested after sustained use, quieted for 24 hours after any error and 90 days after the last ask. Reliability improvements throughout the alert pipeline.
