Questions

Before you download.

Is Tably the official TabNews app?

No. Tably is an independent app. It isn't made by or affiliated with TabNews. It talks only to the public TabNews API, and what you publish goes to TabNews exactly as it would from the website.

Do I need an account?

Not to read: the feed, posts, comments and profiles open without signing in. To rate, comment and publish, sign in with your TabNews account, or create one right in the app.

What does Tably do with my data?

Nothing reaches us. There's no Tably account, no server of ours, no ads and no tracking. Your session stays in the Keychain, and your Library stays on your device, or in your own iCloud with Pro. Read the Privacy Policy.

How do I cancel Tably Pro, and what happens then?

Cancel anytime in your Apple Account, or in Tably under Settings › Tably Pro › Manage Subscription. Nothing disappears: saved posts you downloaded stay readable, extra sources keep updating and your filters are kept for later.

What does Tably do on Apple TV?

Apple TV is for reading: the feed, posts in two pages turned with the remote, comments, Library, Trending and Sources. To sign in, confirm on your iPhone, on an Apple TV 4K. Rating, commenting and publishing happen on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Can I read without a connection?

Yes. The feed and posts you've opened stay on your device for free. With Tably Pro, saved posts download with their comments and images, so they're there whenever you need them.

Which languages does Tably speak?

English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Russian. Posts in another language can be translated on device on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Your TabNews, wherever you read.

Free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro.
