Windows Phone Central app v3.8/9 now available!
Here's the big one folks, we present to you the v3.8 update to our official app, live now in the marketplace.
Available on both Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8, this update is the product of several months of work migrating to WP8 natively, but we've also thrown in a few new features to keep things fresh and exciting.
This update supports Windows Phone 8 fully, including the 720P screen resolution (which should make HTC 8X owners very happy), as well as full support for all 3 tile sizes on Windows Phone 7.8 and 8. It's taken a fair amount of time to bring the codebase over to Windows Phone 8 in a way that allows us to fully support version 7 wherever possible. Hopefully you will never see the product of that work as everything will appear seamless, in which case we can now focus on bringing some very cool stuff to version 4.
Windows Phone 7 users you will find that v3.8 now supports double sized tiles, as well as featuring the bug fixes that are part of this release, and the higher definition icons. Windows Phone 8 users should see v3.9 available, with the same tile support but also featuring lock screen notification support. Please note though, that for lock screen notifications you will have to customise your tile to use the plain tile count style - this is a limitation in the Windows Phone SDK and one that we cannot work around.
You can find the full changes, and an image preview of the new wide tile above:
- New live tiles including Double wide tile
- New Wallpapers!
- Full Windows Phone 8 Support
- Using high definition icons
- Support for lock screen notifications
- Re-wrote the forum link enrichment code to correctly find all forum links
- Fixed the app title not retrieved bug
- Several other smaller bug fixes
As always we really appreciate your feedback so please comment, post on forums or generally get in touch through the app to let us know your thoughts and suggestions.
Download the official Windows Phone Central app here in the Store. (Remember, the app has an "unlimited trial" making it free. It only costs $0.99 to remove the ads and add bonus features. The choice is yours!)
Note: The app is just freshly published, so if you're using our app now, try and use the download link within the app (searching may still show v3.4). If you don't see it, as usual, hold on for a few hours!
Un-pin: You may also need to unpin and re-pin your Live Tile to see the new doublewide, give it a go, it works!

Been waiting for this update for a long long time, thanks Jay!
Love the double wide tile btw, very efficient use of space on either side!
Edit: I am getting an error when I try to save one of the wallpapers to my phone. And sometimes it just crashes the app when I enter the wallpaper section.
teslaelectric says:
nice update, but wtf's with removing the option to customize tile back between text and image..?
...that's been around since v1 and I'm really shocked u removed that basic level of customization..
I love having the count and toast notifications but hate the tile back with the image, especially as its often a cut-off image on the square/mid-size tile and fucked with my layout..
can you confirm why this was removed???
JayTBennett says:
Certainly. That customisation was introduced in a version 2 patch and was when I couldn't make the text and image display in an effective way. When switching to this new tile I found that if i left in the old customisation code it completely broke the tile because it was using part custom renders and part default sdk tile code. Still, i will work on something for the next update without images as you have responded negatively to this change
Iskassasya says:
Such a good response Jay. Thank you. I too also like the tile without image but it is not worth hours of your pain to get it working.
accursedvenom says:
I like the tile better when its not switching. Just the number of new items is enough as I'll see the images upon opening the app anyway.
teslaelectric says:
wow, thanks for the great response and I really appreciate it. also, want to emphasize that I do really love the app and feel its a perfect showcase of what a wp app can be, so great work jay!
and I didn't mean to be so negative, its just that I tend to be somewhat ocd with my tile layout so when I place a tile that's in my accent colour, I tend to prefer it stays that way, and flipping to an image breaks that..
as I'm now also realizing that the change is probably tied to the double-wide implementation, I can see the difficulty in maintaining that. I'll echo a suggestion made in response to this comment, that I think the ideal solution (and hopefully easiest to implement) would be to provide an option to disable flipping outright. for me personally, that'd be the ideal as I get notifications and a count which matter most and it keeps the tile looking consistent.
best.
JayTBennett says:
I'll put both of these in as options in that case
Ty1361 says:
Awesome thanks! I too prefer the old options.
NIST says:
I would prefer the tile to spin instead of flip.
JayTBennett says:
Not possible with the Windows Phone SDK ;)
ej1024 says:
Thanks
mosi76 says:
Awesome update. Thanks!
poddie says:
Yes!
ej1024 says:
Perfect for my 900 7.8
karthikkini says:
How cool!! There have been a series of app updates since yesterday. WPC app is one more now. Thanks WPC team!!
dbam987 says:
The app looks great on the 8X's screen resolution! Awesome stuff, awaiting v4 now...
edwmcc says:
Looks awesome! Great job!!!
Sam Sabri says:
You might need to unpin and repin the Live Tile for the wide tiles to work in WP8. After updating the app wouldn't go double wide, but unpinning/repinning helped.
Great update Jay!
beej says:
Good call. I kept trying it. But unpinning it works perfectly.
Quin 2013 says:
I agree, it wasn't working at first, then it once I un-pinned and re-pinned the type.
Iskassasya says:
Cheers.
richholguin says:
Wow, amazing! Thank you for this update. I have an 8x and the app not taking advantage of the full screen was bugging me. If I could give you a better than a five star rating I would.
WhippedKream says:
Wow guys the new 720p resolution support is a KILLER feature you guys did! I saw a huge diff right away and my eyes are more relaxed while reading, and everything just looks sooo clear! Wow. Thank you :D I love my 8X and I have loved WPCentral since the day my Optimus 7 came with NoDo. Keep up the amazing efforts guys!
S0ckM0nk3y says:
This update is absolutely fantastic!!!! Great job guys! I've gotten a lot of people to purchase your app and this warrants the purchase even more!! Keep it up! Best WP site there is!
khazaduel says:
I cant get it to go to double wide on my 920?
Jey Si says:
Unpin from Start then pin it again :)
Jazmac says:
This is all I ever wanted.
ricardios says:
Love the double wide tile. First one on my start screen.
Matthew Mazzenga says:
Beautiful!!
jdb_ii says:
Thank you thank you!!!!!
segadc says:
Nice!
JLP says:
Nice job Jay...the resolution support for the 8x makes this app even more awesome
Lightmoonwolf says:
Hey the new update is awesome , really good job it was really worth buy the app, i hope you keep improving the app more and more.
Matthew Mazzenga says:
Now I really wish they would post another article soon so I can see the lock screen notification. Lol
unstoppablekem says:
Just posted a review for this app today asking about the windows phone 8 app, and now it's here. Go jay!
rubenbest says:
Double wide tile is amazing!!
vikrant6 says:
Awesome awesome awesome!!! BEST use of wide tile among all other apps out there.. Brilliant work Jay!
unstoppablekem says:
I understand that you can't work around the plain tile count, but curious, why?
unstoppablekem says:
Not really helpful, Hit the Lights.
JayTBennett says:
Basically the only way to have lock screen notifications is to set the tile's count property, resulting in that black tile count. Before we were rendering it as part of the tile image, which doesn't set the tile count property, thus no lock screen notification :(
unstoppablekem says:
Ah, thanks jay. Any information on you submitting the app for the app star thing? You would be in the top 5.
unstoppablekem says:
Now you can submit the app for the Next App Star Jay. :)
Jey Si says:
Double wide tile working fine on WP8 but not on 7.8 (Nokia Lumia 710)
FIXED: I just re-install the app. :)
coeus89 says:
Love the double wide tile!
Cellus13 says:
Yay! Your app is the best news app ever. This app is worth the 99¢! :) Been waiting for the tile sizes :D
DJCBS says:
Am I the only one who's App shuts down when you try to open the Wallpapers section?
Edit: Solved. If you experience that problem just reinstall the App. ;)
Morpheus Phreak says:
Crashing here, even after a reinstall on Lumia 900. Trying a few things...
Morpheus Phreak says:
Hmm, nothing fixed it...crash still occurs even after reinstall, restarting phone, changing all sorts of options, etc. :(
The ZennyBoy says:
I just updated this at the local bar. I'm half drunk and I can still tell how awesome this update is!!!
Micah Dawson says:
Ooh yes!
abond32 says:
Wonderful, Great, Beautiful, large tile is great. Yep! Good Job! Thanks!
silverdoe says:
So the trial ver. doesn't have multi sized tile, cuz it doesn't have live tile. Pity one of the most integral feature of WP is being limited to premium, especially for someone who stuck with a damn wrong region account & cannot add any payments. Seems the Xbox migration only applies to Xbox, not MS acc-wide
runciter says:
Depends on where you are I suppose, but the Store does offer carrier billing (obviously where supported)
Sam Sabri says:
Unpin/repin the tile...
interopbyt says:
I finally made the decision to buy the app! Nice work! :)
mandartd says:
Awesome!. You guys are doing absolutely great!..Keep up the good work!..Thanks to the entire WPC team!
MaRkThE40KiLLeR says:
Same issues as the first comment.
SchueyF1 says:
Great job!
Kenjoe says:
Nice and thanks
mayur89 says:
Gr8 wrk guys.... Im using wp7.8 n collecting money to buy wp8 dev...
Chregu says:
Very nice, thanks alot! I am just wondering, why doesn't Whatsapp, for example, have to set the ugly black circled count for lock screen notification?
JayTBennett says:
They are using a different shell tile layout, the "iconic layout" specific
Chregu says:
Okay, thank you for the information :)
Katsy One says:
Exuse me... But why am I unable to download the paid version in the store? I mean, I already had this app, but then it was deleted and now it asks me to buy it, whereas I have already done that in the past.
Daniel Rubino says:
If you're are new to Windows Phone, that's normal. If you try to "buy" an app again that you already bought, when you try to purchase it, it will tell you that and you'll just redownload it no charge.
Katsy One says:
Hm, sorry. My bad being a newbie to the OS :)
Solved...
pankaj981 says:
I thought full WP8 meant fast resume :D, the update is a welcome change, thanks Jay!
Bushybro says:
Best site, best dev, best support!!!
edjr07 says:
Great job!!!
nokiageek says:
This update does not work well with my Nokia Lumia 620, clicking on wallpaper sends you back to the Windows phone home screen,
snarkysnickerdoodle says:
Maybe it's just the placebo effect but damn does the app feel smooth after the update!
AngryNil says:
Thanks Jay.
Invaderhim says:
Cool
Renan Gallardo says:
Double wide tile still doesn't work on my 7.8... Already tried re-pinning the app as well as re-installing the app...
sunnybyday says:
Same here - on my NL 710 with WP7.8, I tried to un-pin/Pin, uninstall - reinstall and everythign I could think of. No luck so far - just can't get the elusive double wide tile. Ideas?
JPDVM2014 says:
I am able to get the double tile on my 900, however I can't get the live tile to update.
James8561 says:
i looked up the app, update prompted, listed as 3.9
when updated, i check the about page to see "Version: 3.8.78"
??? wut is goin on
otherwise the app opens almost instantaneously after the update. seems to take better advantage of a 2nd core
JayTBennett says:
It's version 3.8 of the app but i had to mark the wp8 XAP as a higher version to ensure that windows phone 8 devices choose it over the other version. This will be cleared up next release a little :)
z8er says:
Woohoo, awesome!
phirefly says:
Looks Awesome on the 920!
Eric Hon says:
double wide dosn't work on 8, but it works on my 7.8
jerrynomenon says:
U might need to UNPIN ur tile from previous version and repin it
runciter says:
Love the update Jay! Brilliant!
Microsoftjunkie says:
Double-wide doesn't work on 7.8. Focus Flash
Jey Si says:
Unpin then re-pin. If the problem still persist, uninstall then re-install the app
nimmalapudi27 says:
For Lumia 920 win 8 phone, the version is showing as 3.8.78. But in market place I see it as 3.9. Do I have the latest version? And also for some reason, my screen became soooo bright. I had to uninstall the app and reinstall the app to fix the issue. Did anybody face the same issue?
jkercado says:
The app is WAY faster. Dayum!
Caspar Davey says:
Like the new live tile. I did notice that the header in the screenshot has the WP Central logo and the full name Windows Phone Central. My screen still just has the text WPCENTRAL with no logo. I have the live tile and checked the version on the about screen. I have the new version running. No big deal, just an observation.
oscargodson says:
Its a setting. Open up the settings and you can personalize the header.
Caspar Davey says:
Thanks. Hadn't spotted that setting.
Schikitar says:
This is great, handed over my 99c!
pierrerv says:
Awesome. Just updated. And now commenting via the app
Oscar Covarrubias says:
Looks Amazing on my HTC 8X, thanks... and it looks even better with pay version :P
Dragenox says:
Awesome ... http://t.co/V9YxQkeB2x
jerrynomenon says:
How about adding iconic style tile count (Large number next to app icon - like mail or messaging live tiles)? Also wpcentral for win8 will be highly appreciated :-)
cadeross says:
I have the free version.. And am on 7.8 why am I not getting double wide tile?
onysi says:
same here. thinking its for paid users only. i already reinstalled it and repin
JayTBennett says:
It is for paid users only on 7.8, as it can only be kicked into gear when you're using the live tile
ankurjain1702 says:
Thanks Jay for this update. But i am not getting the double wide tile on my Samsung Omnia W.
cadeross says:
M
oscargodson says:
Works great and I've been waiting for this update for a long time :)
One small thing tho, none of the icons anywhere on the app are hi res. They still look blurry. On a Lumia 920.
JayTBennett says:
I assure you that the highest offenders have been updated, but for some on the browse screen I made the call that they didn't need an update
cadeross says:
Live tile not working double wide function I mean. I uninstalled it and reinstalled plus did the pin unpin thing not working
RequiredSkills says:
I can't get the double wide till to happen. I unpinned repinned. Uninstalled reinstalled. Turn my phone on and off. Any other suggestions? WP7.8 L900
JayTBennett says:
Have you got live tile enabled?
RequiredSkills says:
Yes, live tile is enabled. Live tile isn't working now at all since I updated and uninstalled reinstalled. I have the paid version.
RequiredSkills says:
It is working now. A couple comments down someone said sign in and I did and now it works fine. I don't understand how that matters. Thank you Jay for the app and the response on here and on Twitter.
Jey Si says:
Buy the app :)
RequiredSkills says:
I have the paid version. I've had it for a long time.
aka P says:
Why does the appshow under bacground tasks? What does it do?
JayTBennett says:
Background audio streaming when you play podcasts, and updates the tile if you have live tile enabled
onysi says:
is double wide tile only available for paid users? it doesnt work on my 7.8 -dvp, forced update.
JayTBennett says:
Correct, only for paid users
xiontechinfo says:
JayTBenett I am not able to get double wide tile at all.
What could be the reason ?
I tried everything, reinstalling pinning again and turning on and off the phone.
rastanac says:
After unpinning & repinning, try to wait for a couple of minutes and let the app sync a bit,then try changing the tile size. That worked at least for me.
ash29k says:
Sign in mate, works trust me..
xconomicron says:
Do other mobile nations sites get so many awesome updates like this to their apps? I appreciate the update Jay. Btw, the guy named Hank in a yellow Pancho at Burger King is still waiting to inform Daniel of some WP information. xD
liammatho says:
No more blurry icons! Thank you!!!
R0bR says:
Lock screen notification works great, but after unlocking my live tile didn't show a count. This worked prior to the update on my 920, I'm using a small tile.
R0bR says:
Since everyone is unpinning and pinning the tile I did the same and it works now.
DenniSundaY says:
Super! Now the screen is filled on my htc 8x!
rastanac says:
Gotta love the double wide tile! Thanks! :)
morpheus1982 says:
Excellent job!
venom5150 says:
Jay, I have to say, your app is the best executed in the WP store. Its distinctly Windows phone in a way that no other app I can think of does. Great job!
ash29k says:
Um... No wide tiles on 7.8 anyone else have this issue? Edit: all is well, just needed to sign in and the tile works, great update guys, maybe other devs will follow suit...
AndreiX says:
I'm a happy HTC 8x owner :)
sarim_xyz says:
this app could be made free. even if ad-supported trial version is offered, it must be fully-functional. It says, live tile is supported in full version only :-/
Jey Si says:
Go buy the app. Its only 99 cents. :)
jlynnm350z says:
You hear that bird jay? Cheap, cheap
inside man 55 says:
Jay has mentioned previously that he had to charge 99 cents for him to make it worth his while to spend so much time on the app. And as a bonus to users that pay they get the live tiles and the different tile sizes. Plus Jay works full time and does this on the side. Considering how often the app gets updated the cost seems reasonable to me.
gcdc_lumia says:
double size tile doesnt wrk. i unpinned it and reinstalled. doesnt wrk. 7.8 user here
JayTBennett says:
You need to have the live tile enabled for double tile support on 7.8
gcdc_lumia says:
oh, makes sense. i didn't buy the app. :( ugh...
i find it hassle to buy apps in marketplace because i dont live in US/Europe.
CommonBlob says:
Looks good. Still has some dodgy animations, but a nice app that seems even faster again?
Vheissu says:
Wow im amazed at how much different the app feels now that it is optimized for the 8x
Agent-P says:
720p support! Yes! And as always, excellent work.
wetworker says:
Thanks guys at wp central. This app is my go to app each and every morning.
DontHate707 says:
did you guys take out the feature of being able to customize the live tile in 7.8 with the latest article pic? :( cause all i can do know is change how the number is displayed and the color, the tile on the article looks extremly nice with a pic....
aerosmillie says:
Brilliant. Great update. Love the wide tile and lockscreen notifications.
vikrant6 says:
Hey Jay, latest article picture is not showing on the wide tile, just the title.. What might be the problem?
JayTBennett says:
That happens if the image failed to download for any reason, it's like a safety making sure that you still see up to date headlines and count values even if the image failed over your connection for some reason.
Prensescim says:
Jay, one word: Excellent!!
DJWhiteSquall says:
Unpin and repin folks. Say it with me... "Unpin and repin." (some of you didn't say it)
RequiredSkills says:
Unpin and repin only didn't work for me. I got my double wide tile to work by signing in. Before that live tile didn't work at all.
Metrosity says:
Jay, is it possible to get a more fully featured post editor tool e.g add images via the app etc?
Xanthurum says:
Version 3.9 in the store, but the app shows version 3.8.78?...
JayTBennett says:
It's a little trick I had to do in order for the correct version of the App to download for Windows Phone 8 users. This will be sorted in the next build :)
Xanthurum says:
Oh, ok. No hurry, good job by the way. Really love your app! All thumbs up!
jtes8 says:
Thanks Jay!
MadSci2 says:
Outstanding. Now all we need is an App for Surface Pro!
ChazTyldsley says:
New wallpapers but alot of the more interesting ones removed :(?
JayTBennett says:
Yeah those all came from a competition we held last year, but they're all the old branding. Chances are we'll hold another competition some time :)
ChazTyldsley says:
Great cheers Jay! Look forward to it.
Kiraly Attila says:
Works fine on my Lumia 900 i love the double tile ,THX for the update.
CoZmicShReddeR says:
Thanks!
Iskassasya says:
Sexyyyyy. :)
osku598 says:
BEST. UPDATE. EVER.
senbobaggins says:
Great work!
eolorvida says:
am i the only one experiencing this... cant do the double wide tile... pin/unpin already done for a couple of times...
eolorvida says:
nevermind... it works now... ^_^
FrankEpr says:
Lovin' the wide tile!
jdv.seishin says:
Awesome
Dave Blake says:
Wow Jay this is great
damo579 says:
Can't wait to try the new tile sizes but my phone hasn't gotten the 7.8 update yet...... Lumia 900 at&t
BriggzCountry says:
Jay, kick ass man! This is my favorite WP app and this update is great! Thanks for the hard work and setting the standard for developers to follow in designing a great app!
jayruguitar says:
Kudos sir!
Mic98 says:
There is no double wide tile for windows phone 7.8. Anyways this app is amazing!
Duke178 says:
I also have same issue when opening wallpapers section, app crashes. Have also uninstalled as suggest but problem for me remains, also tried reboot but no change.
Morpheus Phreak says:
Same. Lumia 900 here.
RequiredSkills says:
Yes live tile is enabled. I have the paid version. Live tile isn't working now and it was before I updated and uninstalled.
jlynnm350z says:
Awesome! Looks great. Is there anyone else having problems with the wallpapers app. Won't let me go in to the wallpaper app, just closes, also won't let me download any wallpapers. I get some kind of error. Using a 920.
jlynnm350z says:
Also there is no new topic count on my lock screen and my live tile on my home screen. Using 920 still love the app, its the best. Keep up the great work.
inside man 55 says:
Excellent update Jay, the text and icons on the live tile look crisp, thank you man
S_C_B says:
Love the update on my L920.
redeyss says:
Most used app on my L920! And best!!!
devize says:
Any plans to bring fast resume to this app?
Would be good if I could open an article or thread, leave the app and send a text and then come straight back in without having to hold the back button.
Florin Anghel says:
Thank you for the 720p native support. Now it looks so good on my HTC 8X. Also I'm a little afraid to turn on live tile and notifications, last time I did that the battery when galoping to 0% :)) Anyway this is what I called WP8 app!
randyjl says:
I've been waiting for the full screen on my 8x ever since I got it. Thanks for the great update!
rocky 710 says:
Can't pin the app to main screen after unpin
RaRa85 says:
As always great job guys and you didn't leave out the old-timers (7.8 users) in updating the app. Thanks.
AccentAE86 says:
Cheers. Thanks Jay!
sunnybyday says:
Hi Jay - on my T-mobile Nokia Lumia 710 with WP7.8, I tried to un-pin/Pin then uninstall - reinstall and everythign I could think of. No luck so far - just can't get the elusive double wide tile. any ideas? is it because I used the seveneighter ;)
the other double wide tiles work fine - like the picture, calander etc
procen says:
Did you enable your live tile?
sunnybyday says:
That seems to fix it. Enable live tile, unpin/pin again. Thanks procen!
chad08er says:
A+ app Jay, keep up the good work.We just need to get other developers too follow your lead:)
jabtano says:
+10.000.000.000.
ihavewp8 says:
live tile or notification never works. It use too in the past
topleya says:
Looks so good on the Ativ S
ej1024 says:
I can't say thank you enough... The best app out there
Dre325 says:
My Live Tile is still not working on my L900 with 7.8. It shows a constant new article count and the back of the tile is an old article. I've unpinned and repinned. My biggest issue with this app is still the lack of visible links in articles and having to swipe right to see Links which have no context. Parse the links right in each post and allow us to click on them there like we do on your website or any other news app.
nalinbarola says:
Nothing new...wasted my data to update
morpheus1982 says:
Ungrateful...
JayTBennett says:
Dear lord, I am so sorry that the new tile design and bug fixes was not worth less than 1mb of your data. How can I fix this travesty for you?
nalinbarola says:
:P
iamoniwaban says:
Thanks. You are a great example of a dedicated developer
jabtano says:
Jay, very nice update as always. One of if not the best app that I have every purchased of this old HD7. Really would love to see a WPC Win 8 app. No matter what the fee would be. Silly sometimes when people bitch about .99 or 1.99 apps they never look at the time and effort it takes to create and maintain the product. again nice work!
paulxxwall says:
Very nice
rjpmateus says:
Amazing app! Thanks for listening to the users' suggestions. The easiest 0.99€ I've ever spent, and feels awesome to support such a great WinPhone developer.
SoloXCRacer says:
Very well done app and update. I did notice a potential defect. When browsing a forum thread, I noticed that sometimes (only happened twice) that when you attempt to scroll all the way down to the bottom, it will get there, but then immediately "bounce" you back up. It's like it doesn't want you at the bottom and bounces you back up. This makes it impossible to read the last thread on the page. I can't easily reproduce it and haven't figured out a pattern yet. It happened twice though.
A great app by the way. I constantely use this app as an example of a well design WP app to my developer collegues. Well done!
blackdaemon says:
The wide tile indeed doesn't work initially in WP7.8.
I tried reinstalling app and also repinning the tile with no luck.
Only after waiting for some time, after the tile download some images and start displaying them at its back, only then it's possible to enlarge the tile.
inferno434 says:
Love the update! BEST app available on wp7 imo. Thanks!
jdb_ii says:
Is it just me or does this not include quick resume via clicking the app tile?
Messi21 says:
Double size tile doesnot work for trial version?? I live in nepal and there is no way of buying apps atm. un pin and re pin doesnt work. Using lumia 710 running 7.8
JayTBennett says:
Correct, the double wide tile only works when the live tile is enabled, which makes sense because that's the only time we have enough data to fill the tile
rohitsingh says:
Jay, I am using th app on a lumia 800 with 7.8. The double wide live tile is not updating automatically at all. Once i open the app and close it, the tile gets updated. But otherwise it keeps showing me the old news only. Plus there are no number notifications on the tile at all.
I have already tried unpinning and pinning back again, deleted and reinstalled the app, signed in, etc etc. But nothing seems to make it functional. It is to be noted that rest everything, like push notifications, are working completely fine.
And yes I have a purchased version of the app.
Could you please look into it. Otherwise its a very nice update, loving the concept of the double-wide tile. It just needs to be sorted.
Cheers!
sayyadina says:
Tried unpinning and repinning, still no double wide tile.
nonameform says:
For some reason live tile is not updating due to network error, but the app is still getting all the news from site. I've tried re-pinning the tile several times now, but that obviously wasn't the case. And when it comes to showing the latest header on a tile it works fine. What the...? Happens on Lumia 710 with 7.8 update :/
Update: My bad. The tile is not updating at all.
chaotikchiken says:
Sweet!
jordandrako says:
Dvp 7.8 here. I can get the double wide tile to work, but I (still) can't get the app to update the live tile in the background. It stays on the last article posted when I entered the app until I launch the app again which nearly defeats the purpose of live tiles in the first place. Almost certain this is because of the method I used to update my phone but is there any fix for this. Its not the only app doing it either: metrotube, metweets, fuse, all of them have to be launched to update the tile.

EXACTLY! I'm having the exact same issue. And for what it's worth I doubt is because of the way you updated it. I'm having this issue only with this app and if you shrink it down to the medium size, you will see the notification and latest story. Meaning that the tile IS updating, just not the doublewide. I hope Jay gets to fix it soon because I really like the look of that tile. ;)

To add the accolades of this update, well done Jay! Just a few issues I ran into that u probably are already aware of. The live tile was working great until it stopped updating this morning. And at times, when the tile flips, instead of listing the last few articles, it is blank (just the accent color, no article titles). Typing in the comments section from my phone, at times the box set for typing is really small (enough height for current line being typed and half of the line above it). I do agree with previous comments that it would be nice to have the double wide tile not include pics, or at least the option to turn off. Anyhoo, thanks for a great update. Looking forward to more great strides in the future!

I am not getting the double wide live tile... I tried everything unpin the tile and repin it. Another thing the live tile is not getting updated after this update.
msstax says:
after installation of update my count number on the tile will not change after opening and reading content in the app.... any suggestions?

In the smallest tile the display of number of the updates doesn't work. It would be cool if it did. WP 7.8
