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

just one question ... what the hell are you drinking at £4.99 a pint????
― tomofthenest, Saturday, 7 November 2009 11:42 (nine years ago) Permalink
Latest update broke the filter threads feature within the forum for me (iPhone 6, latest iOS 11 update). Otherwise, really like the previews.
― Naive Teen Idol, Saturday, 12 May 2018 17:02 (ten months ago) Permalink
i hate to complain because i love zing and appreciate that it's there, so much, but i don't think i like the previews, or at least they're not useful for me. i guess i just don't understand the point of them - the previews show up on bookmarked threads with no replies. but in order to clear the bookmark, i'm going to have to open up the thread and read it anyway. so what is the preview for? to decide whether or not to check out the thread? but i'm one of those Inbox Zero people, so it's not like i'm just going to let unread bookmarks sit there for days. i have so many bookmarks that i'd quickly accumulate a couple dozen unread bookmarks if i didn't clear them out.
er, this may be more of an issue with how i use bookmarks than the new preview feature, but i'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me.
― obviously DLC (Karl Malone), Saturday, 12 May 2018 17:17 (ten months ago) Permalink
sorry, i meant
the previews show up on bookmarked threads with NEW replies.
No it’s fair — this might be a feature just for me! What I find is I sometimes read a bookmark and it has something I want to check out later (like a video) or something I need to do (like investigate a bug) so I keep the bookmark where it is. But then I can’t see if the thread has updated. I was going to add unread status balls but figured this would be better.
― stet, Saturday, 12 May 2018 18:29 (ten months ago) Permalink
the good post you want to read is only rarely the very latest post, ftb the conversational gestalt of ilx so basically karl otm i think
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 12 May 2018 18:39 (ten months ago) Permalink
I was going to add unread status balls
i like this idea! or maybe, even just to add a little more information, a number to indicate the number of new posts since you last checked the bookmark. if there are two updated bookmarks, one with the 14 new posts and the other with 1, that provides useful information in a few different ways.
― obviously DLC (Karl Malone), Saturday, 12 May 2018 18:44 (ten months ago) Permalink

bookmarks in zing show a preview of the latest post in the thread underneath the thread title, takes up a lot of room and often contains spoilers.

Why doesn’t ILX on iphone/safari warn you that other people have posted when you hit submit post?
― 🦆🥣 (FlopsyDuck), Friday, 4 January 2019 21:37 (two months ago) Permalink
I think that was put in because the OG Safari on Edge was so slow that you could get caught in xpost warnings forever on slow threads. Could probably take that out now.
