Interesting, this seems to have taken quite a bit of UI inspiration from Android design patterns.

- Branding in the titlebar, left aligned. I must admit, I really dislike this trend.

- Side-scrolling tab/pill menu for subscribe, hot, new, rising, etc. This is not so bad.

- Popover menu, very Android like, although on the other side.

I would love to be able to click a button to "save offline" a specific subreddit (or my front page). I take the subway to work and don't have reliable access to the internet when I'm underground.

Is that something you have planned? That feature alone would be worth the upgrade for lots of people (at least here in NYC) I am sure!

Looks nice, I'm about to install and have a look.

Does it have access to mod tools?

Does it allow people to view the sidebar?

How easy is it to run alt accounts with narwhal?

It has only been in development for a couple months so it does not have those features yet. I wanted to get the core browsing functionality done as quickly as possible and get it out for some feedback. All of the features you mentioned are on my list and I hope to have them done soon!

That's excellent, thanks!

This looks great. I've never been happy with the other iOS applications for Reddit, Narwhal will probably be my default Reddit application now.

I like the illustrative design a lot. Other apps are so plain and boring flat iOS7 while this app has personality :) Well done!

I really like the smart contextual interactions. I am looking forward to the iPad app.

Nice job. I really like the ease of swiping to up vote, down vote, and save.

Are you planning on an iPad version as well?

rickharrison 12 years ago | |

Yes, that is on the list of things we are planning to develop.
