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.

tehresa, Saturday, 7 November 2009 07:35 (fourteen years ago) link

Ah of course. Going blind is me.

i obtain much semillon (Trayce), Saturday, 7 November 2009 07:36 (fourteen years ago) link

Another pint from me, raa!

JimD, Saturday, 7 November 2009 09:27 (fourteen years ago) link

Oh, and I got it direct from the ON IPHONE app store.

JimD, Saturday, 7 November 2009 09:30 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

JimD, Saturday, 7 November 2009 09:32 (fourteen years ago) link

amazing!!

koogs, Saturday, 7 November 2009 10:06 (fourteen years ago) link

I have posted a review.

exploding angel vagina (Scik Mouthy), Saturday, 7 November 2009 10:15 (fourteen years ago) link

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????

tomofthenest, Saturday, 7 November 2009 11:42 (fourteen years ago) link

it's ten bucks for us, more like "buy me a jug"

lol at screenshot #4

niggaz thought M.A.S stand for mop and shit (sic), Saturday, 7 November 2009 12:02 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

What do you want? This ain't an egg shop (grimly fiendish), Saturday, 7 November 2009 12:38 (fourteen years ago) link

Stellar.

J, Saturday, 7 November 2009 13:24 (fourteen years ago) link

it's a (I believe) 70/30 split between Apple and stet, so I think it work out to about a pint :^)

囧 (dyao), Saturday, 7 November 2009 13:33 (fourteen years ago) link

stet this is awesome, thanks so much man!

call all destroyer, Saturday, 7 November 2009 13:39 (fourteen years ago) link

Pint from me! Thank you!

ljubljana, Saturday, 7 November 2009 14:11 (fourteen years ago) link

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koogs: There's some slightly out-of-date-but-mostly-right screenshots in this post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

stet, Saturday, 7 November 2009 14:45 (fourteen years ago) link

Ace. :)

JimD, Saturday, 7 November 2009 14:52 (fourteen years ago) link

ok this is pretty amazing -- fantastic work!

elmo leonard (elmo argonaut), Saturday, 7 November 2009 14:55 (fourteen years ago) link

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...

nearly one-third of a man (Z S), Saturday, 7 November 2009 15:28 (fourteen years ago) link

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. :)

nearly one-third of a man (Z S), Saturday, 7 November 2009 15:35 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

stet, Saturday, 7 November 2009 16:33 (fourteen years ago) link

Holy lol at the screenshots

Yeah~ I can flay~~~ (HI DERE), Saturday, 7 November 2009 17:22 (fourteen years ago) link

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

exploding angel vagina (Scik Mouthy), Saturday, 7 November 2009 18:05 (fourteen years ago) link

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

kingfish, Saturday, 7 November 2009 18:19 (fourteen years ago) link

An image browser would be fantastic!

schwantz, Saturday, 7 November 2009 21:51 (fourteen years ago) link

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.

Just searched found and downloaded today. Awesome!

do any of these profits go to server costs

It's-a not so bad (jeff), Sunday, 8 November 2009 02:41 (fourteen years ago) link

feature request: landscape keyboard! also more bb code tags

囧 (dyao), Sunday, 8 November 2009 03:14 (fourteen years ago) link

yep, have landscape keyboard working already, also the full set of bbcode will be in 1.1. I've got a few other fixes, but I couldn't upload them while it was in review without losing my place in the queue. App store is frustrating as hell.

stet, Sunday, 8 November 2009 03:25 (fourteen years ago) link

just spotted a bookmarking bug too. Will fix

stet, Sunday, 8 November 2009 03:25 (fourteen years ago) link

I don't think stet making this app and stet running the server have anything to do with each other, jeff. If it were any other user writing the app would you have asked the question?

Mark C, Sunday, 8 November 2009 11:18 (fourteen years ago) link

hey stet are u going to add admin log at some point?

call all destroyer, Sunday, 8 November 2009 14:07 (fourteen years ago) link

Wasn't going to -- it's not in the API, so it'd be hard. Same with search, but I'd really like to add that somehow.

Shld also add SB for czn's portable suggestin needs.

stet, Sunday, 8 November 2009 14:28 (fourteen years ago) link

I like the message you get when you x post

call all destroyer, Sunday, 8 November 2009 20:30 (fourteen years ago) link

desired feature when you can be arsed to get around to it: local timestamping for logged-in users?

zing touch me I'm (sic), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 11:47 (fourteen years ago) link

another request -

to stay where u were when u quit the app, instead of goin back to the list of boards

regardless - what a terrific program!!

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 11:49 (fourteen years ago) link

^ yes, the latter

zing touch me I'm (sic), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 12:00 (fourteen years ago) link

hello when will android version come out pls?

ken 'a shaved finn' c (ken c), Wednesday, 11 November 2009 12:36 (fourteen years ago) link

im embarrassed at how rad i find this app, i mean, i dont want to admit how great it is to use ilx on my iphone, but, you know.

any chance we could get archiving of bookmarks for offline browsing?

max, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 13:36 (fourteen years ago) link

you could just use instapaper for all yr offline bookmarkin needs - i find myself using it more than safari these days

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 13:38 (fourteen years ago) link

Tracer: does it need to save whereever you are, or can it just remember if you're reading a thread or in the middle of compose. I've been trying to save state, but it's a bit tricky as the server can completely change between launches, and threads that were there have dropped off new answers.

Archiving of bookmarks is a good idea actually -- then you could bookmark a post before getting on the subway or w/e, and the whole thing'd be there on the phone. Or I could add in Instapaper integration.

stet, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 14:15 (fourteen years ago) link

exactly as it was wd be ideal but just remembering what thread you were reading wd be almost as great

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 14:20 (fourteen years ago) link

yes, exactly.

max, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 14:21 (fourteen years ago) link

does instapaper even need integration? i just hit the "read later" bookmark in firefox and BILL VIOLA this thread is there

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 11 November 2009 15:12 (fourteen years ago) link

I had that. Logging out of Zing and in again helped, though it still doesn’t seem to be syncing bookmarks between Zing and web as reliably as it was.

Alba, Tuesday, 10 May 2022 17:21 (one year ago) link

ah okay. tried that once to no avail but will try again. merci!

we need outrage! we need dicks!! (the table is the table), Tuesday, 10 May 2022 17:36 (one year ago) link

same thing. i even uninstalled and re-installed :/

we need outrage! we need dicks!! (the table is the table), Tuesday, 10 May 2022 17:42 (one year ago) link

Ugh, sorry! is this still happening? I'll take a look

stet, Thursday, 19 May 2022 14:56 (one year ago) link

stet, it resolved itself on its own, without any signing out or uninstalling etc. works fine now! not sure what the issue was. thank you, tho!

eight months pass...

has zing been delisted from the apple app store? just tried to install zing ON (new) IPHONE and can’t seem to find it anymore

rick semper moranis (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 9 February 2023 18:32 (nine months ago) link

Oh that’s strange, not showing for me either.

here you go, muttonchops Yaz (gyac), Thursday, 9 February 2023 19:04 (nine months ago) link

same here. funnily enough I had a problem with the app some time last month and removed it. it was still in the store then or I wouldn’t be here now (perish the thought)

i saw mommy kissing twink henry kissinger (breastcrawl), Thursday, 9 February 2023 19:20 (nine months ago) link

Sorry about that – I need to pay Apple yearly to stay on the store, and they had an expired credit card on file. Should be back shortly!

stet, Monday, 13 February 2023 13:24 (nine months ago) link

thanks stet!

rick semper moranis (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 13 February 2023 13:43 (nine months ago) link

two months pass...

Not exactly urgent, but I am finding that the latest version of this app crashes when I am reading a message and tilt it to landscape. I’m on iOS 16.3.1.

Naive Teen Idol, Wednesday, 19 April 2023 21:59 (seven months ago) link

It’s been like that for years, for me.

Any chance the dark mode could be tied to the system setting? The number of phones without that feature must be pretty small now.

assert (matttkkkk), Wednesday, 19 April 2023 22:07 (seven months ago) link

four weeks pass...

Love this app and have a feature request:
In-app toggle to lock orientation - I don't think I'll ever use landscape mode on my phone.

Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 17 May 2023 18:56 (six months ago) link

two months pass...

I've put it on the list, but while you wait this is pretty easy to automate with Shortcuts. Just make a new Automation that sets orientation lock on every time Zing opens (and another one that disables it when Zing closes). Ok now I type it out that sounds cumbersome, but it's pretty easy!
