Unread 4.0.1 is available from the App Store.

The biggest change in this update is that Unread’s old icon with the white background is back as the default icon. With Unread 4.0 (and Unread for Mac) I changed Unread’s icon to be one with a silver background. I thought it was an improvement, but after receiving several thoughtful messages from customers it has become clear that the silver icon was not popular. The silver icon remains available as an alternative icon for customers who subscribe to Unread’s premium features.

This update also incorporates these improvements:

  • This update adds a Keyboard Navigation help article on Mac. It is available via the Help menu. This help article describes shortcuts for navigating Unread with a keyboard.
  • This update fixes bugs around preserving window position and size on Mac.
  • This update improves the display of homekitnews.com articles. These improvements will apply to articles downloaded after installing this update.
  • This update fixes user interface glitches around organizing feed subscriptions via drag and drop on Mac.
  • This update fixes a bug that would prevent section titles from appearing at the top or bottom of an article list while flicking through it on a trackpad on Mac under some circumstances.
  • This update fixes a bug that caused VoiceOver to read image names when reading source list items on Mac.
  • This update fixes a bug that caused VoiceOver to read a rogue date or feed name when navigating to the left from the article list on Mac under some circumstances.
  • This update fixes a bug that caused VoiceOver to read account entries incorrectly on the Unread home screen under some circumstances on iPhone and iPad.
  • The description of Unread’s subscription now includes the fact that it supports Apple’s family sharing.

If you enjoy using Unread, please consider purchasing a subscription to Unread’s premium features.
