Yes

Nice one!

next pint's on me.

thanks millions!!!

(LOL @ you = too slow)

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koogs: There's some slightly out-of-date-but-mostly-right screenshots in this post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

Oops, I didn't see stet's post just above with the link to screenshots. Yeah, it basically looks like that. The only main difference is that pictures don't appear in the thread - you have to click on the individual posts to see them. Which is actually fine, because it makes picture heavy threads load a lot faster.

Again, great work Stet, this is going to make goofing off on ILX waaaaay easier at work now. :)

Thank you! Yeah, it's never done the images inline -- the performance would be really horrible and slow. I might look at doing an image browser like in Facebook for picture threads, though.

Holy lol at the screenshots

One thing I'd request; a white background on the app logo. It'd look so much nicer on my screen.

Found this thru my app store search. iPhone is being stupid and not letting me install.

An image browser would be fantastic!

D/l'ed the lite version today, will grab the $8 full when I get paid next week. Gotta save money for upcoming trip to NYC next week ON IPHONE.

oh my god

feels like a nice bit of fit and finish now too

This new search feature is aces, have used it several times in the past few hours.

stet i love you

Fucking hell. Well done, thanks a million. You could have made this a paying update. Would have gladly forked out

Challops:

I don’t like how the lines have disappeared between threads in dark mode. Bring back the lines or at least alternate background colors like answers do (in both modes).

I don’t understand the HUGE type announcing the board / thread title (or the app) at the top of each screen? It doesn’t need to be so big. Also, when I hit filter threads, the field floats behind the huge type and it’s annoying.

challops accepted. Some of this is work in progress -- filter threads will be replaced by thread search soon, and the huge type problem is an iOS 13 change that's half-finished (because I realised we have to keep iOS 12 support for the older phones).

Lines on threads is a good shout, I'll try and put those back. Confess I just got tired of slogging at Search code and felt it was good enough to get out.

Couple more challops:

1. The orientation bug where Zing jumps back a bunch of posts if you rotate it back and forth is still there.
2. Some kind of memory leaks with YouTube and maybe Twitter. If you start a YouTube video and then click back, the video never gets shut down entirely and you continue to hear audio until you kill the app. Maybe embeds aren’t being killed correctly?

YESSSSSSSSSSS

stet, you are the best. Seriously.

cosign with DJI - also if you tap a Twitter post on e.g. the image, any linked video won't link correctly, but if you tap on the date of the post, it loads correctly and you can tap through to the video or images linked.
A small thing too - when shifting day-to-night and vice versa using standard type appearance, the big headlines stay in the colour of the old mode (i.e. they stay white, on a light background, or black on a dark background). If it was possible for Zing to switch to night mode when the phone does so, that would be awesome, but maybe break things for folks not on iOS 13.
Offered only in the spirit of wanting to help, not complaint - it's a great app!

As others have said, I'd have been happy to pay for this upgrade.

this is a gift that keeps on giving

Challops version going to Apple, fixing:
- Lines are back between messages
- Orientation bug is fixed at last
- Twitter videos now play inside the message view(!)
- And stop playing when you leave the view

I can't fix the dark/light switch not changing the headlines without dropping iOS 12 support (as far as I can tell) and there are way too many people still not on iOS 13 yet.

(Thanks for being lovely, everyone)

Thank you stet!

Are pics supposed to autoload? I see little picture frames that I have to click on.

twitter videos playing within zing is a very exciting development

right. won’t miss the workaround for that

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
