Yahoo News Digest rival app Gist goes 3.0 with support for iOS 8, iPad and iPhone 6
The highly rated news summarization app (and Yahoo News Digest competitor) Gist has just gone 3.0.
Released for iPhone and iPod touch in November last year, Gist was updated to version 2.0 last January with Pocket integration and other enhancements.
Now, it has been updated to version 3.0 with support for iOS 8, iPad, and iPhone 6.
Indeed, Gist is now optimized for the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system. In fact, it now requires iOS 8.0 or later.
Gist is now also natively compatible with iPad and iPad mini as well as iPhone and iPod touch. “Gist is now a universal app,” developer Michael Mamiye proudly proclaims. “iPad support was one of the most requested features and I’m happy to say that it is now easier than ever to browse and read summaries of the latest news on your iPad.”

What’s more, Gist 3.0 boasts support for the Retina HD displays of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus.
And further still, it brings landscape mode support for all supported devices, with a split-screen landscape view for iPhone 6 Plus added for good measure.
Gist 3.0 also includes minor interface tweaks and bug fixes.
