great free gopherspace app

we are so lucky to have a great free gopher client on iOS. this is fast, puny (less than 2 megabytes), intuitive. thanks to the dev for creating and maintaining this, and making it so easy to dip into gopherspace.

Fantastica

L’app è sviluppata bene. Peccato che non sia più aggiornata e sia ferma a 5 anni fa.

Not working as of July 2023

Update: working well as of September 2023

Out of date

As of July 2023, this app on recent iPhone OS freezes. Will work for awhile but chokes on links and lack of stop feature means it spins in perpetuity trying to do something it cannot get done.
