Zing Touch: ILX now ON IPHONE (and ipod tooches too)

YAY! AND IM IN THE SCREENSHOTZ!

I kind of love that max's display name in one of the screenshots got the phrase "rip dom passantino" into the App Store.

ok maybe one of the best iPhone apps so far ON IPHONE

Posting from zing litr, works great, thanks!

Happily contributed to Stet's collection of pints.

oh so excited for this, will purchase you a pint soon, thx so much stet!

Now posting ON IPHONE

I am posting from Zing Touch.

Im sure I am just dense but what are the diffs btwn the paid and free zinger? I need to update my tooch sw before i can even use this anyway.

There is also the buy-Stet-a-pint version, Zing Touch, which is £4.99/$7.99 and will probably get new features first. Right now they are identical, except for some wee ads in Zing Lite.

Ah of course. Going blind is me.

Another pint from me, raa!

Oh, and I got it direct from the ON IPHONE app store.

Featurerequests: reordering of boards in the board list, so I can drag my favourites to the top. And those little filled-or-hollow bullet points that tell me whether there are new posts in a thread.

amazing!!

lol @ tipping thred in screenshots - says it all, really

I am rockin this now and it is awwwwesome

can someone please post screenshots here for those of us who are itms:// deficient

I have posted a review.

Stet this is really cool and would be even better if I had an Iphone :-( great work though.

just one question ... what the hell are you drinking at £4.99 a pint????

it's ten bucks for us, more like "buy me a jug"

lol at screenshot #4

prediction: stet's gonna get wasted!

Oh god, he'll turn up at mine and make me drink vodka with a Blue Aftershock mixer.

Anyway, yes. This is truly a piece of aceness.

Stellar.

it's a (I believe) 70/30 split between Apple and stet, so I think it work out to about a pint :^)

stet this is awesome, thanks so much man!

Pint from me! Thank you!

Awesome stuff, thanks very much, everyone! I really appreciate it. I had no idea there were so many iphones on here.

koogs: There's some slightly out-of-date-but-mostly-right screenshots in this post

JimD: Yeah, am working on editing the boards that appear on the start page so you can cut it down to your favourites and reorder etc.

Ace. :)

ok this is pretty amazing -- fantastic work!

can someone please post screenshots here for those of us who are itms:// deficient

I will, happily, because just yesterday I figured out how to do screenshots on an iPhone: as you hold the home button at the bottom, press the sleep button on top. It saves a screenshot to your photoroll, which you can then email to yourself and upload to tinypic.

Give me just a sec...

Oops, I didn't see stet's post just above with the link to screenshots. Yeah, it basically looks like that. The only main difference is that pictures don't appear in the thread - you have to click on the individual posts to see them. Which is actually fine, because it makes picture heavy threads load a lot faster.

Again, great work Stet, this is going to make goofing off on ILX waaaaay easier at work now. :)

Thank you! Yeah, it's never done the images inline -- the performance would be really horrible and slow. I might look at doing an image browser like in Facebook for picture threads, though.

Holy lol at the screenshots

One thing I'd request; a white background on the app logo. It'd look so much nicer on my screen.

Found this thru my app store search. iPhone is being stupid and not letting me install.

An image browser would be fantastic!

D/l'ed the lite version today, will grab the $8 full when I get paid next week. Gotta save money for upcoming trip to NYC next week ON IPHONE.

Just searched found and downloaded today. Awesome!

do any of these profits go to server costs

feature request: landscape keyboard! also more bb code tags

yep, have landscape keyboard working already, also the full set of bbcode will be in 1.1. I've got a few other fixes, but I couldn't upload them while it was in review without losing my place in the queue. App store is frustrating as hell.

just spotted a bookmarking bug too. Will fix

I don't think stet making this app and stet running the server have anything to do with each other, jeff. If it were any other user writing the app would you have asked the question?

hey stet are u going to add admin log at some point?

Wasn't going to -- it's not in the API, so it'd be hard. Same with search, but I'd really like to add that somehow.

Shld also add SB for czn's portable suggestin needs.

I like the message you get when you x post

desired feature when you can be arsed to get around to it: local timestamping for logged-in users?

another request -

to stay where u were when u quit the app, instead of goin back to the list of boards

regardless - what a terrific program!!

^ yes, the latter

hello when will android version come out pls?

Have a bug on iPad version, not sure if it came up already, where the thread list will not appear until I flip the iPad in landscape

It should also appear if you swipe in from the left-hand side, but I see the problem

Ugh bloody Zing

hahaha

I’ve given up on topic muting ever working

Sorry to follow up on this but is there an ETA on this one please

Uploading to Apple today!

Thank you!

Excited! Thank you as always stet, I use and appreciate your work every day.

😮

Echoing what everyone here is saying. I use and apprciate your work every day too. Also navigating the Apple App Store process is no f'ing small feat

It's true — but at least I can get it released eventually (I hope). Google Play won't let me release Android Zing properly until I have 14 continuous testers on Android, which is too high a bar.

I've heard one of the problems now is that vibe coding has absolutely flooded the app stores with frivolous/spam/junk submissions

Won't take long until these are passed to AI as well and it will go "I wrote that, it's shite!".

Uploading to Apple today!

I downloaded this update and I’m sorry to report the mute thread function isn’t “sticky” in the same way that the mute poster one is, as in you can mute a thread but once you go to a different app and come back the muted topic reappears.

same here, some cursed threads lately

Arggggg I’ve clearly done something dumb; this works for me. Will take a look this weekend

Nice tweaks and touchups aside from that tho! THANK YOU for ignoring “liquid shite” UI elements too

Not sure if it had a recent update but Zing is cutting off the last line of a proportion of posts on my iPad Pro 11 (landscape screen).
Also, dunno if it helps with Zing iOS but the nifty sidebar for new posts in a thread is always just the last post, rather than all the new posts since I opened the thread last. Thought that may relate to some kind of session ID which is resetting and breaking the “muted thread” memory.
Lastly a UI suggestion, it would be fun if thread muting worked by left swiping the topic in the questions list.
Gee, I don’t ask for much, do I? Would be happy to pay for this app as a way to support you and/or the site.

What theme do you have set and what text size in accessibility settings? I’ll try and replicate. I don’t think I totally understand the sidebar thing, what could be newer than the last post?
