Nextnews 2.0 released

Nextnews 2.0 is available on the Apple App Store as of last Sunday! Since the new version is a complete rewrite which might bring unexpected breaking changes, I opted for a so-called “phased release” which will distribute the update over the course of a week – just in case there are catastrophic errors not caught during testing.

If you want to upgrade to version 2.0 right now, you can always update manually from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nextnews/id1573041539

Here are the new features:

  • Rewritten from the ground up
  • Faster and more reliable article sync engine (hopefully no more crashes)
  • Liquid glass design
  • Open websites in Nextnews from your browser to subscribe to their feeds

For anyone using Nextnews on the iPad or Mac (yes, this release will work on Apple Silicon Macs again), there’s a 2.0.1 update in the pipeline that addresses the layout bugs along with some general QOL improvements. It’s available in beta now and will be published to the App Store very soon.

Thanks to everyone who beta-tested the new release and helped shape it!
