Product update - April 2019

April went by really fast, and it left us a few wonderful stories to read in our platform, plus some exciting updates to announce. In summary we will talk about the imminent arrival of The Authors' Cup 2019 due to start tomorrow May 2nd, the introduction of our NEW homepage, and the (long-awaited) official release of our revamped Inkspired Mobile app for Android. Let's break it down:


The Authors' Cup is finally happening tomorrow

It's happening. After announcing it back in March, tomorrow, the 2nd of May, we are running for the first time what is Inkspired's signature writing/publishing competition. If you don't know what it is about, you can read all the details here. You can sign up on the competition until tomorrow for only US $3.99 and get the chance to compete for up to US $1,000 in prizes.


From the 3rd of May until the 19th of May, you will be able to register for a late-registration fee of US $6.99.


New smart homepage for you

We have designed a "New Home" for all of our users. Whenever you log in to your account, you will see a homepage different to the public homepage for visitors. On this newly designed page, you will find your "recently seen" content, recommendations of what to read, and the new releases on your favorite categories; everything tailored to you and your interests.


Also, now is possible to see all the progress you are making with your "in-progress" stories, announcements of the new writing contests, and if you are participating in The Authors' Cup, you will have quick access to the list of all your current active challenges.


More stuff will be added here from time to time to make your experience using the vast tools and services available of Inkspired as simple as possible.


Our Inkspired Mobile app finally made it to Android!

Yes! We know we got a bit delayed, but our Inkspired Mobile 3 is finally out there at the Google Play Store! iPhone users knows what it brings since January, but in case you haven't checked our detailed mobile's information page, here is a brief summary of what you can expect:

Hola que tal!, cómo traduzco al Castellano todo esto anterior que escribiste Galo. No me deja copiar y pegar para traducir.

@Dave, for creating stories you must go to the website. The mobile apps for iOS/Android do not allow to publish stories from there yet, only "microfiction" stories.

What you don’t say? The iPad app seems to be a iPhone app ported over. Fair enough but can I edit/write my story/ies? I can’t find them. Do I need to go the browser page? If so why don’t you say so?
