Circa News for iPhone Updated with Performance and Speed Improvements

Circa for iPhone has been updated today with speed and performance improvements. The update also includes updates to Followed Stories to make it more simple.

Included in the update:

• Performance – We've sped up dramatically. The last few months have been dedicated to making the app and service blazing fast. We've found it's at least 5-10x faster than the previous versions.
• My Followed Stories has been moved – We've moved this feature right to the main page so you don't have to hunt to see when you've got updates to stories you're following. Now it's just a button on the top right of the main screen!
• Updates to Followed Stories – Ok, we'll admit it: our previous followed story interface was a *bit* confusing. But thankfully we've come to our senses and made it much, much better and dead simple. If you receive updates to a story, they're just at the top of the story now, simple as that. Instead of needing to use arrow buttons to see which updates are new, we've clearly marked them for you.
• Follow stories without being logged in – We think being able to follow stories to get updates is awesome. That's why we've turned on the feature for people that haven't quite yet signed up.
• Fix "Blank" updates – Sometimes when you were following a story, you might have received an update but nothing was really there. Yeah, we fixed that.

Circa for iPhone is available for free as a universal app (iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch) in the App Store [iTunes Link].
