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

to answer the other question, as long as you make the 'purchase' from the same account you originally bought it with, you won't be charged again

fixed, thanks again!

dyao OTM

The one problem I have with it is that 77 doesn't show up in the list of boards. (Yes, I am a member. )

Try logging in again (same procedure as above). The board list is saved to make startup quicker, so it doesn't notice new boards being added to your account very often.

That worked. Thanks.

i just downloaded this. so much better than in safari BUT whenever i bookmark it crashes (closes and returns to iphone app page) and doesn't save the bookmark. someone might have mentioned this already but this thread tl;dr.

I may be missing something obvious, but can you create topics using the app?

sunny successor: Do you have traditional bookmarking set? The app needs to use the new-style bookmarks, and might be crashing if it doesn't find them. To check, go into Preferences (on the site itself) and make sure "Use traditional bookmarks" is *not* ticked.

Jeff: Not yet -- that and search are my next big to-dos after multitasking (which is just about done)

stet, not zing related but figured this thread has your attention :) is there any easy way to incorporate spoiler support for ilx (e.g. highlight text to reveal, otherwise it's a block of black chars)

Hey that's a great idea. Will think.

stet i did indeed have trad bmking set. ill try it again today/. thanks!!

....but finish the new topics feature first. (I almost called this the "ask a question" feature. I've been on ILX way too long. ) That's the really important thing.

<spoiler>this album sucks!</spoiler>

Anyone out there running iOS 4.0 fancy being a beta tester?

i have a bug with mine recently where i can't post anything, it says "it is a mystery" fail message.

It'll be the cache; I don't know what's causing it but I'll have a look just now.

To fix: Press the gear icon on the home page, and then press login.

Sorry, quick question -- is tere a search feature in this? If so, I can't find it. Other than that, love it.

not yet iirc

<-----------can help test

Top, thanks! Can you send me your UDID? (stet @ ilxor) Instructions here: http://www.ismashphone.com/2008/08/udid-itunes.html

hey i can test too. i actually do it for a living. one feature id like to see -> the ability to pick the boards i see in site new answers.

Any plans for an Android app, Stet? Way more Androids than iPhones in the UK (although admittedly these stats don't take into account the iPod Touch, or the probability that ILX users skew Apple-wards).

Sunny: that feature's in there, sort-of: hit "edit" on the home screen and delete the boards you don't care about and it'll hide them from SNA too. (Do you just want to hide from SNA and still keep them on the list?)

Android: Ken C was talking about looking at doing one. I'm probably not: don't have one and don't know how to code for it!

Interesting. Visits to ILX via mobiles in last two weeks (doesn't include Zing visits)
1. iPhone 8,162
2. iPod 2,516
3. Android 1,968
4. iPad 1,185
5. BlackBerry 1,036

Way more Androids than iPhones in the UK

Have you got a link for this one? It sounds wrong to me.

some numbers here, mostly US --- http://stuff.tv/news/By-numbers-Android-vs-iPhone/14488/

1 in 5 – ratio of new smartphones sold on contract in the UK that use Android, according to GfK.

Yeah, but

51 million – iPhones sold worldwide since Apple launched the device in 2007. Android has only been around since October 2008, but sales figures published in February 2010 claim almost 8.5 million Android phones had been sold up to that point.

Uh what's the point of the argument either way? Unless someone buys stet an android phone.

:(
I searched for "zing lite android" and thought i was in luck.

Ha ha.

one thing ive been experiencing recently -- ON IPHONE 4.0, zing will occasionally quit as soon as i've clicked on site new answers. anyone else get this?

got that yesterday but it happened like once

never had that. stet are you planning on a search function?

I am, but not for the next version. I've got a new version almost ready to send to you and the other testers with multitasking, starting new threads and a tonne of other fixes almost ready to go, probably tomorrow.

Search is harder because it will take a load of server-side stuff as well.

bring it on

hi stet, i use zing just about everyday, thanks again for developing and releasing it.

a few quick suggestions that might be useful for the next update (if you're planning on updating, that is)

- when posting a new message, it would be nice if the trashcan icon could be moved farther away from the keypad. several times i've been feverishly typing out a message, a paragraph or two deep, and then I accidentally miss a letter and trash the whole message.
- alternatively, maybe a warning message would suffice, e.g., "are you SURE you want to delete your message?"
- a remove bookmark function would be helpful.
- probably much much more difficult to implement, but a search function would be sweeeeet

You can remove bookmarks by swiping left.

The Close button is too close to the editing area--I hit it constantly when I'm trying to paste stuff into the start of the message. Perhaps it should be moved to the bottom toolbar? Also, when is the new version coming out?

You can remove bookmarks by swiping left.

whoa, i never knew that! thanks!

wait where do I swipe left? nothings happening.

oic on main menu, not in thread

Oh, well, while this thread's been bumped, I've been meaning to note to stet that I get crashes nearly every time I vote in a poll or delete a bookmark. On a 3G, if that helps.

how are you voting in polls

the most recent version allows you too! Top of a poll is like "20 poll options", click through that, then select an option and there's a "vote" button. Then Zing crashes :(

how do i get most recent version? Won't it appear in Updates in app store?

well this most recent update was, like, quite awhile ago?

a search function would be quite nice :-)

i mean, like a "find on page" function

freaky -- I sent the new version to Apple last night. Includes multitasking and a ton of bug fixes, including for the poll crash (in the meantime Clay you can probably fix that by deleting and reinstalling).

Other things:
- Delete button: yeh, will add a warning to that
- Close button: that needs to be there for UI guideline reasons, sry.
- Search in page: Yeah, I really want this too, it's next.
