What's New

What's New in Hack Later 1.1.1

Thanks for using Hack Later! We're excited to bring you an optimized experience for the bigger screens introduced with iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. We've also made fixes to the bugs that were reported on iOS 8 devices.

· Hack Later is now optimized for the larger iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus displays, making use of the Bigger Than Big™ screen sizes.
· Bug fixes. We've fixed several bugs that were reported on iOS 8. (Sharing and Open in Safari works as expected again.)
· Extensions. You can now share news items with other apps using iOS 8 Extensions. Tap the "Share Item" option in an action sheet to utilize this feature.
· Updated the minimum iOS version. Hack Later now requires iOS 8.

We've also done some behind the scenes work to handle any inconveniences that might come with Hacker News' reported website changes. Since Hacker News didn't have an official way of accessing their data when Hack Later was built, we've been handling the news extraction ourselves. We're aware of Hacker News' newly introduced official way of data access, and are working on a bigger update to make use of that and many other exciting things.

Hack Later 1.1.1 is a bug fix & compatibility update. A much bigger update is planned in the future. Please follow us on Twitter (@BrushedType) to be notified.

We hope you continue to enjoy using Hack Later.
