In September 2016, popular comment hosting service Disqus rolled out its UWP app in beta with a slew of new feature updates. Now, the public beta testing has come to fruition and Disqus has launched a universal Windows 10 app with a new design and support for the previous Windows Phone app.

After an extended period of testing, you can also now install the app on your Windows 10 PC. Disqus has long been providing support for Windows Phone users, so it is easy to assume that its new UWP app is now more stable compared to the previous Windows Phone version.

A couple of new enhancements have also come along with the new Disqus UWP app, including a fresh look, a new image uploader, improved login experience with social login support, and real-time updates in discussions. The app is also bumped up to version 4.0.17. Here’s the full changelog:
