iPad version?

Oh yeah, missed that one. Is it something a lot of people are interested in? Haven't felt the need yet, really.

You just reminded me of the other change I would like to see.

Also, with the screen space required for fingers some of this stuff is probably ridiculous. I imagine you could only get the text size down so far before the elements are too small to select.

tbh I would pay up to $5.99 for a Zing Touch: Gob Job Edition.

Finally ante'd up. Since I've been less active on ILX I waited. Now I see that Zing will bring me back. Damn you Stet!

I don't think an ipad version is necessary - it's got enough screen that web ILX runs just fine.

I DIED, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 05:44 (thirteen years ago) link

Web ilx does work fine but something a la Reeder for ilx would be fantastic

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 07:18 (thirteen years ago) link

iPad app would be preferable to the web version.

Jeff, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 13:20 (thirteen years ago) link

Part of what makes ilx ilx is the fact that it's simple and functionally bare. Zing is good because it does what it needs to do. As baader said the std we site is fine on an iPad, but it's always been tricky on an iPhone screen.

Interests: eating my cookie (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 20:57 (thirteen years ago) link

'we site'?

Having spunked a UI lecture on you lot I would now like to request a feature. When viewing bookmarks and threads, display the name of the forum to which the threads belong. Ta.

bought this for the iPhone a while back. can I also download it to my iPad? every time I try, it looks as if I will have to rebuy it. not sure if this is the case or if apple's store is just goofed up. please help. urgent.

sometimes it looks like that, but then u do it and it says 'oh wait u dont have to pay' after u click ok

There's no + sign next to the price i.e. it's not listed as a universal app so yeah, will probably charge you twice. stet?

btw weird to note I made it to an app store screenshot and am therefore famous.

aa (Schlafsack), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 23:23 (thirteen years ago) link

It won't charge you twice, if you have the iPad assigned to the same iTunes account. Alternately just hook the iPad up to iTunes and sync the app that way.

Jeff, Thursday, 2 December 2010 02:24 (thirteen years ago) link

I think ILX is fine on safari on the iPad

No, that just means there isn't any iPad code in the app -- if you download it you won't get charged again, but it just runs in the iPhone simulator.

I'll have a play with an iPad version later see what's what. I quite like the Tweetie interface now it's improved, but that smells like a ton of work.

hey stet: I have an idea that might work for everyone asking for a way to load image threads.

you know how in zing you can tap on each individual post to see it on it's own? what if that view had forward and back arrows so I could just tap through to the next image in an image thread, instead of going back to the thread, tapping on the next image post, letting that load, etc.

?

ed smanger (cozen), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 08:13 (thirteen years ago) link

that is v good idea xp

stet, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 17:39 (thirteen years ago) link

Zing isn't letting me post at this point -- ever since the upgrade, I think. I can read everything okay, but each attempt to post on a thread gives me the 'it is a mystery' dialogue box.

Maybe zing has become self-aware and is trying to eliminate it's closest rival

Ned you probably got banned. :-(

You can thank joygoat for that, BTW.

Cache problem ned: log in again. If the change doesn't stick, just reinstall from app store (you won't be charged again) and it should do it this time.

Q: did you change your password recently? I know there are bugs in that.

stet, Tuesday, 7 December 2010 19:26 (thirteen years ago) link

if so what did you change it to (important)

shirley summistake (s1ocki), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 19:27 (thirteen years ago) link

Anyway that post was from Zing and worked just fine so problem solved. Now to find to Sarah Connor etc.

welcome back, Ned.

so what's the problem

shirley summistake (s1ocki), Tuesday, 7 December 2010 19:58 (thirteen years ago) link

just bought the iPhone version; thanks for dropping the price into the impulse-buy zone (and for all yr hard work on this project too I guess)! would love universal support but I can understand if it's not a priority (although I am heartened by your enthusiasm for the Tweetie interface upthread).
