Channel subscriptions are live, and we've integrated [ShapeShift](https://shapeshift.io) to allow users to easily convert popular cryptos into LBC without leaving the app. + +You'll find all this (and a lot more) in LBRY v0.19 - **[get it here](https://lbry.io/get)** and check out the full release notes below. + +![LBRY Search Tool In Action](https://spee.ch/e/subscriptions.gif) + +## Release Notes + +### Added + * [Subscriptions](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/issues/715).
