I have had several issues with the iPhone app
- crashes frequently and doesn't bookmark where it was - doesn't rotate - every link I have tried to follow doesn't work (i.e. embedded link in a posting). - when people point to another thread it's very frustrating to try and go there. First you need to open that post, then click on the link, then it jumps to safari, then the link doesn't work. - I can't see my FT profile info |
Overall I like the performance. It's snappy with few delays which are more likely due to waiting for data.
When can we expect the next update? |
not meant to hijack... but any plan the app coming to wm7?

How about an iPad-specific app?
|
Whether FT or the new competitor, whomever can nail a good mobile experience first, whether by an app. or mobile web, will get most of my activity moving forward. The opportunity is wide open for FT or the "other guys" to do this as neither is even close now.

+1 on this!

Links sending users from app to website
I clicked on some links to other FT threads from within the app today and they opened in Safari instead of the app, and returned Page Not Found to boot.

Hey all.
I know I haven't replied to this thread in a while, but I want you to know that it's still on a number of people's (including mine) radar. The vB app dev team has been keeping up with it and they want me to let you know two things... 1. Shortly, we will be releasing an update to the iPhone app. Hopefully, you'll be impressed. 2. We will be launching an Android app shortly also. :-) |

Ability to "connect with facebook" would be nice as I can't figure out how to login via facebook and use the iphone app.
What about using a bulletinboard/forum solution like they have at www.avsforum.com and their accompanying free application which you can use for posting, manage subscriptions, private messages, etc... along with notifications and so on if you wish. Anyway... at least the facebook connect ability would be fantastic. |
I've only seen it mentioned once or twice in the thread but by far my BIGGEST annoyance with the app is the fact that to refresh a particular forum (e.g. MilesBuzz) you have to exit that particular forum, click on another forum and only then will the forum you wanted to refresh actually update.
The ability to refresh a forum by pulling down (like on the Twitter app for example) would be a great addition. |

I just realized I still had the beta version installed on my phone, so I deleted that and added the updated App Store version. I was hoping some of the shortcomings I've asked about had been fixed, but nope--it's still virtually unusable to me (without the go-to-first-unread-post feature) and is now cluttered with ads. |
Facebook app uses is too, and I am sure I've seen it in some other apps.

I think Twitter patented that particular motion (pull-down-to-refresh)

However, the patent issue may still manifest itself: If you do use this [code], be mindful that there is a patent pending for the concept: http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-P...DN/20100199180 link|edit|flag answered Mar 20 at 18:29 Crad 781514 Interesting, I know Tweetie did it best, not sure it did this first. Also to note that this question was asked well before the patent was even filed. – Daniel Mar 21 at 11:58 I believe that when the patent is filed is irrelevant. The criteria is "when did Tweetie 2 release this functionality," and "did anyone else release a product that did the same thing before them?" – Greg Maletic Mar 30 at 21:45 |
