Public Notes

Thank you so much for all of your testing and feedback! We have great news––we are just about code-complete. This is the last Testflight update you’ll receive for this version of the iOS Pocket app — but don't worry, we still need your help in the days ahead!

More details will land in your inbox next month with signup info for the Pocket 8 Beta that we will launch later this spring. We hope you’ll continue to play a vital role in helping us evaluate new features by joining us there. Rumors are that there will be something worth talking about (or listening to) dropping there very soon.

Let’s talk about what’s new for build 8.0 (23507) that released Thursday, March 30:
🙈 We listened to your feedback about the iPad interface and switched it off: enjoy a super-sized phone experience while we make some updates to deliver you an even better Pocket experience on the iPad.
🤸We realized that while cartwheels are fun, the app doesn’t look great sideways on smaller screens: Pocket 8 on phones now only supports landscape orientation when you’re reading articles.
🗞️It looks like we were getting a little too excited about fetching the freshest article recommendations for you and were requesting them multiple times at once. We apologize for being an over-eager paperboy.
🖼️We sat down with the gremlins who fetch article thumbnails and explained to them that while it’s good to be excited about your job, it’s actually more important that we download your articles first; your saved articles should download much more quickly now that the gremlins have moved to the back of the line.
📈 Speaking of exciting: we’ve doubled the number of saved articles that the app downloads from 500 to 1,000.
🎈 We’re hanging streamers and blowing up balloons: in anticipation of our upcoming App Store release, we’ve prepared the way for your existing Pocket App Store install to be upgraded to Pocket 8 while keeping you signed in and redownloading your articles in the background. You can’t test this yet, but see the introduction to this email for how you can soon!
