Latest reviews of MetaReader - Unofficial Client For MetaFilter app for iPhone and iPad
This morning, after finishing my feedly routine, I found myself thinking of MeFi and wishing there was an app so I could enjoy my favorite laptop site on my phone...and there it was. Thanks Nathan for launching this just in time to satisfy my need for it!
Excited about this. Nicely designed, clean, and highly usable. Excited to see it continue developing! Maybe its just me, but for some reason the app forgets that Im already logged in when I try to search (makes me log in again), and the search doesnt really seem to work past that anyway. Price is a little steep right now -- Id guess cutting it down to $1.99 would get some more users. But, otherwise, this app shows a ton of promise! Well done!
Im also excited about this app. But, searching doesnt seem to work, uh, at all, & Im asked to login over and over again. Still I want to thank the developer for draggin metafilter into iOS. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to updates.
Crashes on startup. I’d like to have a nice app for MetaFilter, but this one doesn’t seem to be there yet.
App makes you type in all your login info each time you try to go to a different part of metafilter. It also becomes unresponsive, then crashes when trying to search. Oh, and it makes you login every time you want to comment. You cant save your login info; you have to type it manually every. single. time. These issues observed on an iPhone 6s running iOS 9.2.1.
