My Local Press

• Profile pages for people and publications read like a byline: the picture beside the name, a one-line dateline, and the bio in the owner's own fonts. Below that are three amounts to support them, their feed, what they write for, their insignia and their supporters. A publication's page shows its contributors with their pictures, its pages and how to reach it. A mark beside the handle shows when someone has been vouched for. • When a writer or publication offers a monthly subscription, their profile shows it beside the support amounts. Tapping it opens mylocalpress.com, where you subscribe. • Every icon in the app now matches the website, and each one has a name VoiceOver reads aloud. • In CarPlay, a new Shuffle tab plays stories or places in random order, or a place you name. The playback-speed button shows the speed you're listening at. • Every kind of piece has the same bar for reactions and replies, with an envelope for letters, and the reactions fit the kind of piece. • Every story ends with a "More from" card. • Promoted pieces are labeled in the feed. Whoever promoted one sees what it cost and how many people saw it. • From Across shows its pieces in rows by kind. • Opening the app without a connection keeps you signed in, and the feed offers Try Again instead of an error. • Stories open faster.
