We’ve just launched a big update to our iPhone and iPad app; download it for free from the App Store. The app offers an alternative mobile experience to reading all our hands-on content, reviews, and 24 hours news coverage … with a streamlined timeline, dark mode, and much more.

The latest update adds realtime push notifications for posts, so you can stay up-to-date with the latest headlines in Apple and technology right from the lock-screen. To remove ads and unlock some additional premium features, upgrade to our premium subscription for just $1.99 per month — try for free for 7 days.

Anyone can share posts with others from the action toolbar and subscribers can read comments in a native UI. As an added perk, premium subscribers can also use the dark theme in the reading view (enable Dark Theme from the app settings — tap the cog in the top-left of the app).

Here’s a notification that just came in for example:

We also hope this update brings noticeable performance and stability improvements for our app users, including a fix for an ugly bug that started affecting users late last week.

If you want to remove ads and take advantage of our premium features, new users can start a 7-day free trial of the Premium Subscription with no obligation. Like all App Store subscriptions, you can cancel at any time from the iTunes Account settings.
