What's New in Twine

3.9.0

September 9, 2026

## Features - **Better YouTube Support**: Video posts now show proper high resolution thumbnails, open directly in the YouTube app, and get a dedicated action bar in the reader. - **Smarter Feed Links**: Pasting a Reddit, Mastodon, or YouTube link when adding a feed now resolves it to the right feed automatically, including YouTube handle links. ## Changes - **Themed App Icons**: App icons now match the color schemes, and can be picked right from the appearance settings. - **Smoother Visuals**: Refined gradients and scrims across the home and reader screens, animated post items in the home feed, and a cleaner background blur transition when swiping through featured posts. - **Performance Improvements**: Faster feed parsing with lower memory usage, plus smoother home screen scrolling and image loading. - **Simpler Add Feed**: Removed the feed preference toggles from the add feed screen. - **No Shorts**: YouTube feeds now come from the channel's uploads playlist, so Shorts stay out of your feed. ## Fixes - Fixed feeds that nested media inside items showing only a single post. - Fixed missing images in feeds that put the image URL in the element text. - Fixed full article fetching failing on sites that block browser-like requests. - Fixed reading history not being recorded when posts were marked as read while scrolling or paging through the reader. - Fixed missing channel images for some YouTube feeds. - Added a fallback message when adding a feed fails without a reason.

On pace to be the best

I have tried every RSS feeder known to man and this is the first time I’ve ever been amazed at a product right out of the chute…this has the potential to be the best RSS of all time no joke

NOTIFICATIONS

The app and the features are awesome!!!
But separate notifications for new articles of each feeds would be more awesome!!

Неплохо

Хорошее, простое приложение. Хотелось бы виджет и возможность смены цветового акцента.

Really Close

The app is supper slick, easy to use and very responsive. It needs widgets so you can access the information without having to go directly to the app. I would even pay for that option.

Looks Great But Needs Work!

Apps does have a lot of potential but needs improvement. Cannot Import OPML files currently!
