I think Twitter patented that particular motion (pull-down-to-refresh), so either royalty payments would need to be made or a more standard refresh button would need to be added, but yes--I agree it's necessary.

Facebook used to support shake-to-refresh, maybe they still do. That's handy since there is no screen space needed.

Facebook still supports the pull down method, as well as a bunch of other apps that I use.

Posts Titles
Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but posts titles would be useful in threads that use them (e.g. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/intercontinental-hotels-priority-club-inter-continental-ambassador/650386-please-post-your-priority-club-elite-experiences.html )
Thanks for your efforts so far. |

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. :-) |

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. |
While working on pull down to refresh, add pull up to refresh so when at bottom of thread you can refresh by pulling up and seeing latest posts, threads, etc.

I noticed the link issue has to do with the address of the link. For example, In Safari, a link address shows up as "http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/!1204567!http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/newsstand/1204567-af-a380-clipped-dl-cr7s-tail.html#post16202140" in the address bar.
If I go into the address bar and delete the exclamation point and everything before it, the page then displays correctly. So it looks like the issue has to do something with how the app passes on link info to Safari. |

Looking forward to the Android app!!!
(again, thanks for all the recent feedback on the iPhone app. We're reading it and there should be an update here soon.) |
Downloaded the latest iPhone app update. Haven't gone through it properly yet, but the removal of ads is a great positive. Thank you!

Hey, where did the FT iPhone app go? I can't seem to find it on iTunes :(
