What's New in Topico

1.3.0

August 22, 2022

New features: * Edit your article tags. Members can now edit/add/remove any of their article topic tags. Tap on the article menu, and select ‘edit topics...’ * View everyone that recommended your post Now you can view all the members who recommended your post. Simply go to notifications, and then select the text under the username (example: +2 others recommended your post), and you’ll open a panel to view all the members who have recommended your post. * Allow duplicate posts When creating a Newsroom you now have the option to allow duplicate posts. This is helpful when you want to include everyone (such as a classroom). The default for this option is /OFF. Improvements: * Newsroom connections If an article is posted into your Newsroom from a connected Newsroom, your Newsroom will also import the tags of the article as well. This is helpful for classrooms, or organizations that want to view the aggregate topics (what’s trending) across multiple Newsrooms. * Category surfing When viewing the top categories on Topico you’ll now see the trend surfing icon next to each topic. Simply tap on the trend surfer to start discovering what’s relevant to that main topic. Cosmetic improvements: Various improvements to improve the experience. Bug fixes: Minor bugs to help optimize performance.

Smart App, No better way to stay up-to-date

Genius idea for an app—great way to keep up with the topics you actually care about and filter out the noise / programming. Highly recommend giving it a try. Definitely an app to watch as they continue to add useful features and functionality.

Unable to register

Sadly I was unable to register via the app. SMS code verification failed. Tried to get a new code but the button in app does not send a new verification code.

Response from developer

Hello, and so sorry to hear that happened to you. We recently discovered an issue from our verification service, having to do with surges in traffic from specific regions. We've now remedied this issue, and sincerely hope you understand that it takes awhile to track down these issues, especially when they're caused by an outside issue that is completely random, and that we really appreciate your interest & support. This issue has been resolved, and again we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Great idea for a news app

Every news app is a variation of the same idea, but I like that this one’s different. I like that I can post an article I like and not have anyone giving their stupid opinions. You either like it or not, that’s it. Also, the features are very interesting. I like that I can follow postings of people that put up articles I find interesting. I really like that I can see a timeline of topics, which is interesting to see how an opinion can evolve. I wish this were around when I was in college. I see myself using this for a long time.
