App Updated

The Awl’s Weekend Companion, a digest of the best stories of the week, has been updated. The people at 29th Street Publishing have done a really nice job with it: It looks and feels great, lets you change font sizes, and is fully compatible with all the newest iPhones and iPads.

The basic idea remains unchanged: The Weekend Companion is a way to read the best Awl stories of the week in a pleasing, ad-free format, safely isolated from the churning hell of the Content Web. (It is also a channel through which you give us small amounts of money: Issues are available through subscriptions or a la carte, thank you, and please.)

If you’d like to try it out, we’ve added a free sample issue compiled from our year-end package, Never Better, which features more than twenty essays from some of our favorite writers. You can find the app here.
