Built BY a metalhead FOR metalheads Heavy Headlines for iPhone, iPad - and now Apple Watch - is the BROOTAL one-stop destination for all of your metal news, new album release, and concert listing needs. To put it another way, Im a big metal fan and much to my surprise there was just nothing in the app store that did what I was looking for - show me metal news and do it well. So as a professional app developer I took it upon myself to fill that void with the following design goals in mind:

1. Make it simple, slick, and easy to use with a fun interface. It should "just work."
2. Pack it with the innovative features of iOS and Apple devices that I would expect from a great app.
3. Make it metal. Make it fun.

Hopefully Ive achieved that and more. Let me know in the reviews.

If you find any bugs or have any suggestions please send me feedback directly from the app. I want to hear from you! Just hit the menu button in the header and select "Send Feedback"

Latest version Heavy Headlines: 7.0.0

Heavy Headlines 7.0.0 is here and this is one of the biggest updates ever. Ive been working on this for a really long time so I hope you all enjoy! Dont hesitate to reach out and send feedback via the "Send Feedback" button in the main menu of the app. I really do value your feedback and enjoy hearing from my users.

There are really too many changes to list but the major ones are:

- Keep read stories in-place in the feed and just visibly mark them as read instead of moving them to a separate section of read items at the bottom of the feed.
- Massively improved band search. It now has a data source of 150000 bands and growing.
- Importing your favorite bands now finds your favorite metal bands from your Apple Music Library as well as your iTunes Library.
- You can now decide whether or not you want to see upcoming shows at the top of your feed. This can be disabled on the "Available Feeds" screen.
- New "Upcoming Shows" filter in the feed filter menu lets you see all the upcoming shows near you in one spot.
- Added app onboarding/setup for new and existing users to streamline things like importing favorites and asking for notification permissions, etc.
- Reader View is back better than ever on the articles screen.
- Lots of small design updates to make things a bit more modern-looking.
- Cross promotion with my horror news app Horrid Headlines. Check it out!
- Added a tip jar ("Make an Offering") if you would like to show your appreciation for all my hard work.
- Performance improvements including faster feed loading.
- Lots of little bug fixes.
