Are the apps free?

Yes, both the iOS and Android apps are free. Premium features in the apps match your subscription on the web.

Do the apps work offline?

Yes. Stories are cached locally and the iOS app uses background refresh to stay up to date even when you're not using it.

Can I use third-party apps instead?

Are the apps open source?

Yes, both apps are open source and actively developed on GitHub.
