There's no need to refresh the app upon every launch. It's very annoying. Give the app a 10 minute timer, so if I haven't launched it in 10 minutes, then refresh. Or no auto-refresh at all. But definitely not the current situation of reloading Every. Single. Time.
Twitter's is free.
I prefer the original, too. Apple's is release to refresh, not pull to refresh. I know it's a nitpicky point but to me that it a huge difference in the way it feels.
It's part of Xcode and iOS, and it's free. Brichter's is more release to refresh than Apple's. Apple's doesn't have a release function, it's pull only. And it's a far more elegant and seamless design.
I'm sure some folks are glad to see this. For me, I prefer mobile safari, because many times I'll put my phone down and pick up the article on the Mac or iPad. And vice versa.
I'm sure the app is great, but I prefer to get to you via Safari. That way I can go from one site to another more easily. I'm not into all the news apps. I have too many already.
Didn't see your comment before posting the exact same thing. Agree.
App is nice. Just wish it would actually do push notification; I installed it last week and haven't received any since. Still, good job AI, much appreciate it!
Well, just received a push notification, so skip previous comment. Dzzz, possibly I was a beta tester....(thanks TS)
This gif was actually very hard to find. Possibly because I can't remember what these things were called.
I was sure I could find a link to all of them (Mosaic, IE, etc.), but all I found was this single (re-sized) example of one of Netscape's.
Maybe it wouldn't been easier to find if you'd used the Netscape/Yahoo combo¡ Seriously, I often cannot find stuff with Google, but it is very likely that I'm just poor ith searching. Then again, I don't think PageRank is the right way to go that Google created.
You say that sarcastically but as someone such as me who visits AI everyday and is stuck with a POS Android phone it is a legit question. No Android version?

From what I've seen from most Android apps you're better off with the mobile version of the site.
Not really sarcasm. There's a fairly large contingent of Apple hating losers who infest Apple centric sites like AI spouting their superiority drivel and predictions of doom. Why leave them out? I'm thinking DAHarder for example.
Oh, this actually gives me an idea. A(n enthusiast) forum… in iOS (and Mac App Store) app(lication) form ONLY. One can only access it through an iOS app. And it's afforded all the UI and interaction possibilities of the iOS platform that web development can't.

At least you were honest about it. The concern trolls who frequent this site would say something like "I love Apple, but..." which is usually followed by pages of supposed "rational and unbiased" criticism of iOS not being Android enough. I'd like to hear these guys say, "I'm an Apple fan, but... can I get this app ported to Android, oh, for no particular reason?" That would be funny.

At least, provide that option in 'settings'.
This "finally" thing started by Gruber is becoming as if not more annoying as when "first" became a thing on YouTube.
Not true:

To each his or her own, though :-)

I believe they were called Throbbers... Does that sound right?
And given the low browser share compared to Mobile Safari, I'd say very few would bother
That's only because they all use apps and/or change their user agents to say it's an iPhone¡

That much less headache. Seems like a big pro.
