1/5Gossip Bucket Review
I have loved the content in the app but lately the pop-up video ads have become unbearable. It is impossible to read articles from start to finish because the same ad keeps reappearing. I have deleted the app as a consequence. Don’t waste your time with it.

1/5Ads refuse to close
What’s up with the pop up ads that refuse to close? If I want to take a cruise I’ll search it up on my own, but the pop ups popping up on my screen even after closing the app is obnoxious. And it is this app, not anyone else’s content.

3/5Missing titles
Gossip Bucket is no longer including DListed, which is THE BEST GOSSIP BLOG in the world. I am frustrated. It is also not updating The Cut any longer. Other, lesser sites are updated regularly.

The update also includes many long requested user requested features. This one has been cooking for some time so thanks for reading. If you're still with me here, please take a quick moment to support Gossip Bucket and leave us a quick star rating or review in the AppStore. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and Facebook (links in the app about section.) 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.

6.3.1
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.

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. Please visit our blog at GlassWave.co for more details, updates and to signup for our email newsletter. Please leave us a star rating and thank you for using Gossip Bucket.
