I am happy to announce major update of <b>eSteem</b> for iOS is out and ready to update/download! If you have missed Android version notes and update post check <a href="https://steemit.com/esteem/@good-karma/esteem-android-v1-3-0-released-additions-resteem-mentions-notifications-post-types-blockpay-payments-more">it here</a>. Release should be available on Apple AppStore now. Upgrade to use new features, listed some of them below. Changes are almost identical with Android version, expect few more improvements that are specific to Apple users. And performance is clearly visible on iOS devices.

# What's new 

* **Resteem** and **mention** notifications - you can now receive notification when someone mentions you in their post, comments. Also if your post is resteemed by others you will be notified of that as well, which I think is great way to know if you are involved in other discussions, if your content appreciated by other with resteem, etc. Remember we already had notifications on **Vote**, **Comment**, **Follow**.

* Post types - you now can make post with 50%/50% default, 100% power up, 0% declined payout type of posts on submission page.

* View posts types - you now also can see which post has which type of payouts right in front of post title there is an icon of Steem which indicates 100% power up, if there is an icon with Steem and declined text on top which means that posts have declined payout. All default posts without icon. 

* Blockpay payments, **eSteem** now supports Blockpay payments so you can do test payments in upcoming SteemFest. Blockpay terminal generates QR images and with eSteem you can quickly scan the QR and make a transfer, it is that easy to pay for coffee, tea, snacks, hotel, etc. anywhere that has Blockpay terminals (POS - point of sale). Blockpay uses @blocktrades for transfers!

* Profile page design and functionality improvements.

* Image handling - as you may know, posts rely on image servers, once it is inaccessible or service/server is down post literally doesn't show images, caching also has limits at some point. So to solve this, eSteem now has default image placeholder, if image fails to load you will see that default image. This way, application can continue without doing extra requests to try to reach image server which I noticed slowed down the parsing of the content.

* Markdown parsing improved 

* Performance improved drastically, you should feel it in every scroll, every action. Although, more newer device is recommended to get much smoother feeling.

* Many more improvements that you will find out once start using app, you won't regret it, this version indeed improved a lot. :)
