Pint version bought. This is v. great.

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koogs: There's some slightly out-of-date-but-mostly-right screenshots in this post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

Yes @CowArt

stet if you wanna make a gofundme or a Patreon I'm there

seconded

4.1 is rolling out now with all those fixes above, plus you can now sort search results and search within just one board.

(Challops: you can no longer filter just the threads on a New Answers, but that'll come back)

Very very slick update stet, the attention to detail is impressive

Great job - justr a minor thing: any way to reinstate the "XX hours/days ago" time stamp beneath posts?

Yes, it’s going to be a setting in the next version

Omg you shlda warned me how amazing update was gonna be. Wuv wuv wuv

looks so nice!!

a niggle - occasionally when composing, dragging the cursor to the beginning of the post, or maybe just elsewhere in the compose window, erases all the text!

Wow, I’ve never seen that! Does a double tap with three fingers and pressing the undo arrow (on iOS 13) or shaking (on iOS 12) bring it back?

just tried and no. can be hard to replicate but try swiping with one finger fairly quickly pretty much anywhere in the compose window after entering some text.

Got it! It doesn’t erase the text for me but it does make the keyboard vanish. I’ll investigate

Sorry to report I’m running into some problems in the new version:
During search the screen goes blank when entering the search term. Search results show up, but won’t link through when selected. It then gets stuck on the results screen for ages, with no apparent way out, making the app temporarily unusable.

Also, embedded tweets won’t link through to the source tweet on Twitter directly in many (most?) cases, unlike before.

I’m on iOS 12, as noted upthread.

What device are you using, breastcrawl? I'll take a look

I've also confirmed there's a bug with polls which means you can't vote for an option - fixing now

iPhone 6

Hey Stet in night mode the text in the search box comes up black so it’s invisible. It worked fine, just had to type carefully.

Not sure it’ll make it out from Apple before Christmas, but a bug fix version has been sent to them.

Fixes almost everything mentioned here - poll voting, twitter links, the search colour*, edited text vanishing, etc. (Can’t reproduce what you’re seeing breastcrawl but will keep looking!)

* this is still broke after you have just changed colour, close and reopen app to fix.

thanks stet. fingers crossed...

+1 on the bug where a bunch of stuff gets erased when composing and the keyboard goes blank (grey) for a minute when doing selecting, cutting and pasting. Basically, when it comes back, I have an earlier version of the text I’d been working on. I don’t normally mention bugs but this one is pretty bad in that it prevents much in the way of editing longer posts.

I’m on 13.3 and an XS in night mode.

Yeah, it was terrible, sorry: the version fixing it is waiting for review with Apple now

ime (13.3/iPhone8), threads that are polls do not show poll results when you select them through search

Yeah, that's right. Tricky to fix, that -- I'll see if I can come up with something.

stet = ledge

Two things I’ve noticed:

* Trying to vote in a poll results in immediate crash. 100% reproducible.
* Links to other ILX thread now launch the web version in a browser, and requires login.

I use an iPhone X (13.3)

yeah, they're both fixed now

... in the new version which is rolling out now

ROLL EM

SPEED

testing

... in the new version which is rolling out now

Thanks, stet. My appraisal:

All Twitter links do open again, yay! In most cases they don’t link through to the Twitter app itself, unlike before-before, but I’ll take it.

Poll voting works again (voted cashew!).

The search function is still fucked for me though, both in dark and light mode:

-I can’t see what I’m writing
-search results do show up, and can be sorted
-but when I click on the result of my liking it doesn’t link me through
-worst of all, I can’t leave the results page to go back or move on and do something else. The page is stuck there. All I can do is sit it out and try the app again at some later point, hoping that by then it has decided it’s time to refresh itself.

(Apparently this is a problem only I have. Will have to continue to do my searching on Safari, I guess)

Je déteste tout, our very own French-language board, seems to be partly Zing-incompatible. Its main thread, 'Nous voilà enfin débarrassés de tous ces amateurs', apparently comes with 'some old or corrupted messages ... which Zing can't read'. Quite the indictment.

As I tried to edit my earlier post (which I wrote outside the app) within the app I experienced a brand new problem:
I couldn’t scroll down/navigate in the text I had prepared to get to the bottom section that wasn’t immediately visible.
Also, it seems you have to actively clear previous texts from memory or else it overrules the reply function.

Is this just me again? (iPhone6/12.4.4)

Now I want my old Zing back...

This is super-odd. I wonder if it’s an iOS 12 issue. Madchen has one of those, I’ll test on hers.

Yes, I see the scroll issue I think. The search is working though. Huh.

I'm too poor to be deemed worthy of iOS 13, so that may well be it.

I am on iOS 13 and have the zing problem with 'Nous voilà enfin débarrassés de tous ces amateurs'

Having the scroll issue too, I’m on iOS 13.3.
