The Pour Over

Premium members can now search past stories, so that headline you half remember is finally findable. We also gave the home page a fresh redesign, and the games leaderboard got friendlier: pick an avatar to show off your style, and climbing to the top is easier than ever. Thanks for reading with us, it means more than you know.

There's a whole new Games tab, complete with a leaderboard. Head to the Closet to pick the squirrel avatar that represents you, styled after Shadrach, our squirrel mascot. Quote of the Day is back where it belongs, and there are more ways to earn acorns, plus a few small fixes. Thanks for reading with us.

Games are here: a mini crossword, a categories word game, and a news quiz, all inside the app. Think of them as a small breather after the headlines, and a decent excuse to open TPO twice a day. There are also a few small fixes, including a couple of things Shadrach (our squirrel mascot) swears he did not break. Thanks for reading with us.

Your daily news habit just got a little more fun. New games let you go head to head with fellow leaders on the leaderboard, then share your score with friends who are sure they can beat it. And the new Perfect Week Challenge turns a full week of reading into real rewards. Plus a few small fixes. Thanks for reading with us.

Listening to your news and prayers is smoother now. We polished the audio experience across both, so playback feels steadier and less fussy, letting you focus on the words instead of the buffering. We also fixed a handful of small bugs along the way. Thanks for spending part of your day with us, we're glad you're here.
