The Globe and Mail for iOS Updated with Better Nav, Faster Load Times

The Globe and Mail for iOS has been updated with “major improvements” based on feedback from the app’s users. This latest update was released to focus on performance and navigation, which were “key themes” according to feedback from readers.

The navigation bar now remains at the top of all pages within the app to allow for faster return to the main page, while swipe gestures still remain.
