  • LaTex

    Is there any way to get LaTex formatting?
  • MathJax issue

    Thank you for this nice app! I have an issue with mathjax - it looks quite weird when I enable the feature. Is this an issue with iOS or can I fix it somehow?
  • Pretty good so far

    Seems well designed so far, though I have run into some (network?) errors when trying to search for posts that I know exist in each sub site. Also expecting improved layout in the future for aesthetic details like font sizing, etc.
  • Polished…except in the areas it matters most

    Using this for Stack Overflow mostly. Code snippets are not rendered in a monospaced font unless “Enable Webview” setting is turned on. Even then, there is no syntax highlighting. This is fairly important to me.
  • Latex support needed

    Really love this app. Convenient and well-organized. The only problem is that latex is not supported. Painful for our math people.

    Developer Response

    Hey Cyclics thanks for reaching out! Did you know that you can enable MathJax in Settings>App behavior? You will notice a lot of improvements by doing this. Let me know if this is something you were looking for.
  • Scrolling shows same posts over and over

    I like this app but I’ve noticed that scrolling through posts always shows the same posts over and over. At a seemingly random place in the list of posts the scrolling “resets” and starts over at the top of the list. Today’s update doesn’t fix this. Otherwise this app is rather well done. The old official SE app finally stopped working for me and I need a suitable replacement.

    Developer Response

    My apologies, I made a mistake. I have already submitted an updated version that addresses the issues. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and for your support. If you have any additional requests, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
  • Features needed

    1. Latex support
    2. View questions from all favorite channels in one place like a news feed from your interested topics everyday
  • Would it be possible to add other stack exchange sites?

    Title. This app is great for surfing stack overflow but I sometimes feel like it can do much more given the ability to surf every stack exchange website. Please add this feature.
    EDIT: Hi, thanks for the reply. With the latest update I am able to view Math SE, but it’s difficult to use it because Latex is not implemented in the app at all. Without latex Math SE is almost useless in the app.

    Developer Response

    Hi there, thank you for your feedback. With the latest update (2.0.0) the ability to reach other sites has been improved a lot. Is there any particular channel you would like? I’ll add the ability to ask for more features/channels inside the app very soon.
  • Very useful. Found some suggestions

    I like it. Given the absence of a Stack Overflow app, this works perfectly. However I have a few suggestions.

    1) make it more vertical-view friendly.
    as it is right now, it is difficult to see pages and explore tags while browsing on vertical mode. It is still readable but I just think it could be more readable.

    2) add push notifications.
    for someone who plans to use this a lot, I think it would be very useful to be notified when someone responds to your question or answer. That way I don’t have to keep opening and closing the app while waiting for a response.

    Thank you for making this app so useful and good to use! Would definitely be 5-star if not for these suggestions.
  • Good start

    I’d love to see an app like this flourish. But in its current state it simply feels half baked. The font choice seems very wrong for any iOS app, and there’s some odd scaling / display issues. Also, tapping the Home Screen widgets doesn’t open the post they’re showing, which is rather annoying because they always show exciting posts.

    I’d gladly tip the developer if these issues were resolved as I’m sure other people would.
