Hi Everyone,

I'm back with a new app update which comes with a few bug fixes, new reporting features and general optimizations.

• On the Home & Videos screens, you can now filter by promotions AAA and Evolve. If you have a request for other companies let me know!
• Articles and Videos now display company badges for more clarity of what company it's about.
• On the Podcast screen, you can now tap the "Report" button. I'll get a nice email notifying me so I can review.
• When you search for a podcast, if no podcast is found you can now report it as missing. I'll get an email as well so I can review.
• When watching a video you can now rotate your phone and enjoy it in landscape mode!
• On the Bookmarks screen, I fixed a bug when removing a Bookmark from your list didn't refresh the screen properly.
• On the Home screen, I fixed a bug where sometimes the second page showed the first page again.
• I received a review mentioning the Reader mode wasn't working. I fixed a bug where when starting the app the Reader Mode and Show Spoilers settings weren't defaulting to On. Sorry about that!
• On the Podcasts screen, I made sure to only download 3 episodes maximum. Hopefully this will avoid trying to download too much at the same time.
• Under the More tab, I've fixed a bug causing the "Review App" button not to work. I also fixed a bug that caused opening Support or Terms of Service to not work.
• For your User Account, I've renamed the "Name" field to "Display Name" since I want it to be clear you can enter any name that speaks to you.
• The app's file size got a little smaller thanks to some optimizations I made in this update.

That's all the updates I have. If you have any questions or issues please reach out via the support page, https://www.thedailysmark.com/support.

Hello everyone!

I am back with a new update for The Daily Smark.

First off, I have rebuilt the entire app from the ground up. This allowed me to remove older libraries, clean up the core logic, and lay a much stronger foundation for future features. My goal has been to improve stability and a faster, smoother experience.

The design has been refreshed to bring in elements from our website. The News tab now features a Hero Article at the top, giving the biggest story of the moment the spotlight it deserves.

Both the News and Video tabs have a streamlined Company filter. I've reduced the number of taps needed to filter by your favorite promotion. No more bottom sheets to wait for — you can just tap and go.

The Podcasts tab has been revamped. You can now toggle between Episodes and Shows, giving each its own full-screen view. No more swiping left and right to find your podcast.

Finally, you can now create a free User Account. Setting up an Account lets you sync your Bookmarks, Podcast subscriptions, and Settings across all your devices. If you had existing data saved in the previous versions, don't worry. Your existing Bookmarks, Podcasts, and Settings will be automatically linked to your new account when you sign up.

I want to let you know that Accounts are not required to use The Daily Smark. You can still read the news, watch videos, and view upcoming live events without one. An account is only needed if you want to save Bookmarks or subscribe to a Podcast. Those need to sync remotely so you'll need an account.

And that is it for this update. I hope everyone enjoys all of the new changes. If you have any questions or feedback, you can reach me through the in-app support page. I build this in my spare time and truly appreciate every bit of feedback.

Hello everyone! I am back with an update with some significant bug fixes and updates. Let's get to it and talk about the helpful changes you're about to get when you tap the download.

I was in my car listening to podcast episodes and noticed every time I put the app into the background, the podcast stopped playing! I hate that because what if I want to multi-task? So I've put in a fix for this to make sure you can still hear your podcast while jumping across your other favorite apps.

Another day, I went to the More tab and tapped on "Review App." Instead of taking you to the app store to review our app, it brought up the share menu. After a grueling 5 minutes, I was able to fix this problem!

Finally, your favorite wrestling video now opens within the app using the native Apple player. We even support Picture-in-Picture, so you can watch that match while browsing other apps!

That's all I have for you, but I think these helpful updates will make our wrestling app so much better. If you're enjoying the app, please don't forget to leave me a review or send me a hello on Twitter @thedailysmark.

We hope you enjoy this great new update for The Daily Smark app. This update introduces a brand new design and is full of bugfixes to make it easier for you to get your wrestling news. Take a look at the list of fixes and tweaks that we have in store for you.
