After spending forever in review, the ILX iPhone app has been approved.
WHAT IT CAN DO- Read and post to ILX (or the Sandbox or any other server running a really recent version of ConversationBoard for that matter)- Set and delete bookmarks- Automatically check for updated bookmarks- See pictures in posts, resized for the screen- Open Youtube and links in its own browser- Quote post text- Easy bold and italics in the post composer- Post drafts automatically saved until you delete or post them
COMING SOON- Polls: Right now the threads are displayed, but the options aren't there and you can't vote- Starting a new thread
WHAT IT WON'T DO- Work with the old-style bookmarks. If you've set them in preferences, unset them to use Zing.
WHAT IT NEEDSOS 3.0 or better (if you've got an old iPod Touch you'll have to upgrade, but 3.0 is miles better anyway)
Zing Lite is free on the app store. 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.
Anyway links to the App Store (they open in iTunes): Zing Touch and Zing Lite

I too have the crash-upon-going-back-after-viewing-post for a while. Reinstalled, did not work. 4th gen. iPad on 10.3.3.I mostly use Zing on the iPhone (5S, no problems there) but would appreciate a fix if possible.
― willem, Friday, 6 October 2017 07:16 (six months ago) Permalink
The back button thing is driving me nuts. The problem, I think, is that I put the full thread title in the titlebar. In iOS 6, the back button kept the "Back" label, so it was plenty big. In iOS7 that changed so that if there wasn't room it would shrink right down to just the "<". I wonder if it's got even smaller in iOS 11. I'll try a version with no title and see if that helps.

If you want quotes formatted in italics that’s a job for your style sheet. Quotes are quotes.

tbh a lot of my apps have been acting up since OS11 in similar ways - Kindle will freeze up and stop responding to swipes. Chrome, especially when FB is loaded on it, just randomly ignores taps on various buttons.
