We think you’ll like this update. Loads of performance enhancing fixes and big changes too. You’ve been giving us feedback, and we’ve heard you!  The biggest thing is that you can now control all comments from right within the app.  But first let’s talk about the new switch that posts in more of a “blog” format vs. the alternative “story” format.  Turns out Zapd is great for micro-blogging on the go, so we made a button for that. Your Settings page now includes a new option: a toggle on and off switch to choose whether new content should go to the top or the bottom of your zap. Check it out in this screenshot:

Once you’re editing a Zap, touch the Settings button at the top of the page. This Settings page applies only to the Zap in question, so don’t worry about the options you choose here affecting your other Zaps.

Tap the button to turn on the “New Posts at Top” option. Now, all new content will be dropped at the top of your Zap. You can turn it on or off on any of your existing Zaps, and it will not affect any existing content. It only affects the NEW content being added to the page.

And the big feature: the ability to delete the comments on your Zaps from within the app. For the last week, visitors to your Zaps could write comments, and you could edit them, but you needed to use the desktop browser application to do so. Now you can edit comments from your mobile device:

Once you’re editing your Zap, you can tap the Comments link to see a separate page of your Zaps’s comments. See a comment you’d rather not have on your page? Just swipe your finger over it to bring up the delete button.  In our next release you’ll also get notifications on your phone each time someone leaves a comment.

Last but not least, this update includes some cropping fixes. Some folks noticed that in certain cases our image cropper would behave strangely and wouldn’t crop the photo exactly the way you intended.  It wasn’t common but we’re perfectionists.  So, we wanted to reward those of you with a keen eye by enhancing our photo cropper so that each image comes out exactly as you had intended.

Now that you can add your new posts to the top, we can’t wait to see what content you will add to the web! Ready, set, Zap! Oh, and get ready for next week’s update: custom subdomains and privacy options.

Thanks for all your feedback. Have any ideas about where you’d like to see Zapd go next? Let us know!
