Watercress readings have recently been updated and the ipad reader currently has a version of 1.1.0. This version of the interface is simple and clear, continuing the style of watercress. But the function is also too simple: no label, no classification, no text search and book search. The Watercress Reader was first online on January 19 this year, with short and medium literary works, but less free content. This version of the update, the main solution to the flash-back and other technical issues, but the content of the construction slightly weak.
There has been a watercress reader said that in the previous version because of the flash-back caused by the interruption of reading can not even read, resulting in a lot of users lost. While this issue has been fixed, the slow content update is also a constant complaint by loyal users.
After this version of the update, watercress read the works of the shop began to sell online literature and books this month, they are part of the author in the Watercress on the first release, some have been published in a magazine, and now again in a single form of the sale of Independent. The price ranges from RMB 0.99 to 9.99 Yuan. But its ipad client is only able to probation the paid work and cannot buy it directly. Users want to read a full collection of works, need to operate on the PC side of the purchase, and then on the ipad or PC for full-text reading. The lack of mobile subscription and payment function makes the watercress reader is still difficult to get rid of the "chicken" status. Inexplicably, this is not a technical difficulty: watercress reading is to support Alipay recharge, but not with Alipay mobile clients through.

It was delivered 192 times on the Kindle side, and in the mail sent to it by the watercress, it was told that the ipad side is about 1500 new users a day. From this point of view, the popularity of the Watercress Reader in the author group and the reader community has grown considerably.
But the corresponding, is the watercress reading of the works of the store sales of the charges are very few comments, not like a popular pay-reading community. Of course this and its just on the line also have a certain relationship, another reader for such online sales form also need a certain period of adaptation. The exact future will take time to verify.
Watercress in mobile internet products of great interest, but has been a number of vigorously developed a type of products at the end of nowhere. Before the small series also on the mobile application of watercress inventory. There are few cases of successful mobile-end products. The watercress reading is also poured into its product team's great enthusiasm, from its "Literature distribution sales channel" positioning, it is also very important. But in accordance with the "record" of watercress, watercress to read this product can go far or unknown, it can improve the place there are many. Overall, the current version of Watercress is not a significant bright spot, but based on the brand influence of watercress, there are many loyal fans look forward to its subsequent exerting force.
