New Headline focused design
Gossip Bucket v7 brings a new headline focused design that delivers improved readability. Headlines are always shown in full and are now much more scannable as you scroll through your daily Apple news fix. Improved image clarity also brings a nice effect and aids visual scanning glanceability.
Automatic dark mode
The other main new feature in this update is automatic dark mode. When enabled Gossip Bucket will use your broad location to determine approximate local sunset and sunrise times in your area. If it is dark outside, the app will automatically enable dark mode and go back to the light theme when the sun comes back up. It can still be toggled manually if you prefer.
Darker dark mode
We now use a true black background in dark mode for better dark mode contrast and battery performance on OLED displays.
Critical Bug fixes
- No more Postlight 500 errors.
Improved performance
A number of under the hood bug fixes and performance enhancements.
A number of updated support libraries.
Had to remove some built in Twitter functionality due to the Twitter discontinuing their iOS SDK and related APIs. You can still tweet from the share action menu if you have Twitter installed or another third party Twitter client.
App now requires iOS 9 or later.

6.3.1
2018-01-15
Fixes an issue with Reader mode and the in app browser.
This update will reset your preference for "Reader Mode" to off if you are using the in app browser. We introduced a change to reader mode in the last update which has caused some confusion. The in app browser uses a third party service for reader mode and the configuration was causing some loading errors and delays and it wasn't clear we made this change. You can turn it back on by going to Settings > Browser Prefs and then toggle the reader mode option.
Restores subject line auto fill for sharing pages with the in app browser.

Please Read - A note about ads in Gossip Bucket
Gossip Bucket only includes one advertisement in the app. This ad is in the form of a banner ad that is located at the bottom of the app display. You can purchase ad removal within the Gossip Bucket to remove this banner permanently. Ad removal does not remove the ads on the web or from third party websites visited within the app.
All other ads, such as popup and pop over ads, that are displayed on web sites and articles do not come from Gossip Bucket and are placed by the third party websites linked from the app. Gossip Bucket has no control over ads served by outside websites on the web.
With the new v6.0 update, Gossip Bucket now uses iOS's Safari View Controller to display websites. If you have an ad blocker or content blocking apps installed on your device, these will now work within Gossip Bucket if you use Safari View Controller, which is the default option.
