Rockmelt Blog

We’ve been working hard to keep up with your feedback. You can download the latest update of Rockmelt for iPad, available now in the App Store. The latest goodness includes:

Facebook Timeline Integration 

You’ve already emoted (LOLs, likes, wtfs, awws, wants and hmms) and commented on the best articles, pictures and videos on the web. Now, if you’ve connected your Facebook account with Rockmelt, the original article, your emote and comment will be shared to your Timeline. You’ll be the first to share the next Gangnam-style video phenomenon on the Internet machine! Your friends will thank you!

If you’d rather keep your emotes and comments only within Rockmelt, simply go to Social Accounts from Settings and uncheck the “Publish to timeline” box. You can activate and de-activate your social sharing preferences anytime you want.

Videos, Videos, Videos

Watch videos in your stream by tapping directly on the play button on the tile. Tap the full screen icon to maximize the player and when you’re done, just pinch to close the window. You’ll be right where you left off in the infinite stream of content goodness. We have 165 video channels available on Rockmelt so hurry up and add in those yummy video feeds.



Email Login

As an alternative to logging in with Facebook or Twitter, you can now login via email. Choose a user name, add a profile picture, and describe yourself in 120 characters or less. Pick a cool user name so people can @mention you in their comments. Don’t forget to connect your Facebook and Twitter accounts to keep up-to-date with what your friends have shared on other networks.



More Gestures, More Fun

Navigating the web with simple gestures is just plain awesome. We’ve added more gestures to make it even more fun. Swipe to the right to save a tile for later. Swipe to the left to get rid of it for good. Tap the Rockmelt “R” to go back to the top. Sashay those fingers down the Main Street of the world wide web!




Many more bug fixes and performance enhancements were also part of this release. Click here to download on the App Store now.
