Optimise app memory when minimised: loading animation every time the app is reopened.

One painful drawback of Bolt is that you can’t minimise the app for a moment without it reloading when you go back. Typically I would start reading an article in the magazine, jump back to WhatsApp to reply to a message or check Google Maps, or so...

Similar to remembering a users position within an article, this would remember a user's position within an edition's table of contents and highlight it for them so they know how far through the edition they were in their last session.

Ability for users to choose whether or not they want to view double page spreads

If you're taking advantage of our double page spread feature for editions, your users will see both pages in a PDF, if on a large enough screen. This is controlled within the CMS so the behaviour is the same for all users. This would allow your us...

Gift content to friends and family for free

This is the ability for subscribers to 'gift' content to other users. Contrary to standard sharing, if receiving a gifted article, the recipient would not be blocked by a paywall. The link would only be valid once, and would take away from the sen...
